Idea using existing code to add game feature (in General)


Victim October 15 2007 1:15 PM EDT

New users have tutorial goals which they receive a bonus for completing. Since this code is already in the game, you can make goals for EVERYONE including tournament characters. In fact, you can have goal oriented tournaments where the object is to achieve the most goals.

Goals can exists for certain power levels, scores, MPB, stat training levels, challenge bonus percentages, etc.

It would be much more fun to make the goals SECRET too, and throw some not so obvious ones in there, like forge a dagger to XXX...

that would be kinda weird but i would like to call them quests :) actually i have been wanting this all the long but yep :) nobody really cares... i even suggested a trophy page on your profile which would be so cool... people said the pictures would lag everything lol =x somehow i doubt so... you just need small icons... example person with the most claymores (-=*=-) or something... or for beating someone 3 times your MPR

Lol, word, Cake.

I make up my own goals. Right now, it's getting 1.2 mil. And if I get tired of doing that, and stop, maybe my goal will be sniping 1 or two auctions...then I can always aim for good clan points.

The possibilities are endless! And what's best is, I can, at any point, change direction totally without any penalty.

Cb is a sandbox. A gigantic, dynamic arena where blood spills EVERY second, and where I can be part of the devastation anyway I want...or not, I can always just forge :) (Or loan, or snipe, you get my drift!)

Sandbox is the word. I don't wanna be directed. Goals do that, unfortunately, so while your idea (and the quest idea in general) is not without merit, I prefer my CB quest-free.

Cheers!

Why do people need someone else to set goals for them, are they not old enough to do it themselves? Why can't you set your own goals and achieve them, then reward yourself. I reward myself when I achieve my goals by taking myself out to get ice cream!

I agree with novice ^.^

While I am totally with Ash on this- goals with rewards would certainly be stupid- I am not completely against Victim's opinion. I would love to see some personal user stats expanded (where did Longest Winning Streak ever go? And what about other "tidbit" stats- most hits dodged in a row, most GA retaliation damage, highest health leeched from VA, total ammo use, et cetera. All of these would be kind of neat, since it would give some players just personal incentive to be at the top, much like how some people get their single arrow to x1000 +500 or some such.

But goals with cash incentives would not be right. It would detract from the overall "open-endedness" of CB, like Ash said.

Trophies would be cool, maybe...

if i take the time to buy a dagger, and name it Trophy, and give it away to someone would that shut you trophy wanters up ^.^
