ADVENTURE / ROLEPLAYING Worlds Needed! :)

[MajorasMask]

I like the idea of roleplay, I think it can offer some interesting things to the server. However...

The problem with role play is that it just does not work in the current way the map works. I suggest a specific ''Roleplaying/Adventure'' map, available via a portal through the Nexus.

This map would NOT be like the current map. In this map, after the chunks have loaded, attractions would be placed all over the land and would act as adventure areas. In these areas players can do roleplaying in a better environment and can also explore, thus, that is why this map would be called an Adventure map. A list of what I think players could do in these areas:

- Roleplay
- Explore
- Fight (Team Base Fighting Maybe?)
- Complete Puzzles
- Train Skills

The ''adventure areas'' will be themed placed which would blend themselves in with the normal generated chunks. These could be:

- Haunted Woods (Leafless trees, tall creepy towers and churches?)
- Ruins (Broken Buildings and overgrown stuff)
- Large Cities (Maybe like the already generated NPC Villages, but much bigger?)
- Prisons (Maybe like azkaban from Harry Potter?)
- Castles (Castles are awesome, but I have never seen a proper one in HC yet )
- Floating Lands (Floating Islands, Without Support?)
- Mines (Open air mining canyons)
- Woods (Huge hollow tree stumps, both giant trees and small ones)
- Desert Pyramids (Simple as)
- Space Ships (Floating Ships, accessable via a lift below)
- Cities (Giant, Tall and Connected Buildings, like in London)

In these ''Areas'' there are hidden spots, with treasure that can be taken back to the main world, Zeal. Getting to these areas would be difficult. For instance, in the ''City'' area, a hidden room at the top of a building could only be accessable via roof jumping on other buildings!

Just a small idea, I have no clue if this is in the right section of the forums too, I am sorry if it is not ment to be here!

 

[MajorasMask]

Come now, any thoughts?

 

[Psychokhaos]

My thoughts are:
"- Woods (Huge hollow tree stumps, both giant trees and small ones)"
Know we know why you applied for architect.

Really though, I approve.

 

[MajorasMask]

Thanks! And yes, I applied for an Architect as I like to build!

This would be a massive architectural project, but I like the concept. RP is great, and I agree that it could work better on a creative map. It'd be a great place for events, and maybe the Loremasters () could have power to create events and alter the landscape as RP fits to keep it a slightly dynamic world.

I was instantly going to poo-poo space ships, but it got me thinking about the limits and 'locations' of the current worlds. I realized that these topics haven't really been fleshed out yet by the lore team, so I'll hold off on that condemnation just yet, haha.

This would also be a good place to put in the heroblock/quest system, as opposed to the current world. They could still be camped, but not built around and shielded (although that would make for some great conflicts as well.

Overall, I'm down with it, and am willing to help set it up if it ever goes through.

Thanks for the support!

You covered my views exactly, I think this place would be a great area for quests!

Yes, it would require heavy Architectual cover, but if they allow them to use creative mode, it won't take as long.

As for the spaceship idea, it was just an idea.. Still would be cool, however I can see how it does not directly link to the theme of Herocraft.

 

[Dazureus]

Airships. Boom.

I really do like this idea. It reminds me that I need to work on Architect app stuff. Right after I do everything else that I need to do. And that's not a short list, haha. - -"

 

[Kainzo]

I like this idea. Only problem is.... management. I won't lie - I need someone else to manage these new worlds and has a passion to complete things. I'm cut pretty thin and I don't want things to not happen because of it

Well the dungeon team has been looking for work for ages now and this is the kind of work we do.

Me and DG were working on something like this on our own on a skylands map.
We didn't get very far but ye. (its not something we could import, We use plugins that HC doesn't have)

So @Kainzo what do you think about allowing the dungeon team to actually start some work?

 

[Alator]

+1 for reactivating the dungeon team. They may need to recruit some help for a completely built map *cough*volunteerstohelponweekends*cough*

I was just coming back here to suggest that we include the Lore team in the creation of this map along with a few architects
As the Dungeon team mainly consists of people that are good at creating deathtraps (not so good at making things look nice)

 

[MajorasMask]

Yeah, this does work will with the dungeon team! Not only could you make dungeons, you could do it in somewhat peace (no noobs around you bugging you, or pvpers coming to attack) and you would also have unlimited items, and quick block breaking! That is if you make dungeons on the Advenuture Map!

Ye but personally I think we should have dungeons littered around all of the maps.
With more greater rewards for dungeons in some of the more hostile areas such as the nether, end etc.

I mean the dungeon team has had so little work most of us aren't even around much anymore. Out of the 12 members of it only 2 are active

 

[MajorasMask]

Yeah, dungeons in both maps would be good! Easier Dungeon - Not so good of a reward. Hard Dungeon - Sexy Rewards!

So everyone is giving idea and saying how awesome it would be, but no-one has stepped up to organize it!

I'd put myself out there. I have the passion for these projects, but the time to do so is an issue. I'd have no problem coordinating this on the forum and looking at what people have developed, but the actual construction time I'd have is pretty limited for the next month or so.
Anyone else brave enough to take this on, and be willing to accept the utter humiliation if they fail or back out?

That was me volunteering myself & the dungeon team to manage/work on it

 

[Danda]

So @Kainzo what do you think of the Dungeon Team taking on managing this?

 

[Danda]

any staff opinions on this?
Would be nice to get some response even if it is a no :/

 

[MajorasMask]

I would not mind helping to plan out this. Give me a map and I can check it out, work on it, see where things can go ect ect...

It's not just the planning it is the general management and running of the map rules etc is what I think Kainzo is looking for. Which I am offering to do.

What I have as a general plan for this map is to create a large world for people to RP in as well as have places for people to explore and visit but not necessarily build on (to stop random crap shacks and ruined beaches/desert/forests and other kinds of landscape). Something on this scale will obviously take a long time to build and there fore will be a long term project.
