So, what about Hell?

[weynard]

As leader of the HellRiders, I'd like to ask a few questions about the upcoming Nether world.

1) How big will it be? Just enough to cover the "real world"? 1000x1000? Bigger to allow for more exploration/Glowstone hunting?

2) Where will /skill hellgate spawn Necromancers? At Hell spawn? Or will it work like a normal portal and drop the caster off at the relative location in the Nether? What about porting out of Hell again? Will we reappear in Zeal or at the relative location?

3) Will we be able to sleep in beds (read: set our bed spawns) there?

4) Will we be able to /skill recall set (read: Set our mark) there?

5) What is the policy on griefing? Warshard or Wilderness?

6) LWC? Personal regions?

BUMP

[weynard]

BUMP!

Wish I could help you out. Word has it in the back streets of the Loremaster chat that there might, perhapse, probably, kind of, be a event that will kick off the Nether. Other than that, details are VERY slim. Im not sure your questions CAN be answered at this time.

However, I'm sure Beds, Recall, Regions, LWC, and wilderness style griefing will be possible.

But I just write stories, what do I know?

Will there be some kind of protection against MASSIVE Netherack farming? Some people might want a netherack fortress in the normal map... and I kind of like having a floor to spawn on.

I agree. A decent radius around spawn should be regioned (will be probably), maybe 50-100b

From what I heard, regions might not be in. See, this is how I would like it:

1) Size - 1500b radius+

2) Necro Teleports - Should work like a regular gate. pops you out at your relative location, either direction. Would balance the necro a little.

3) Beds - No.
4) Recall - No. People would be able to bypass the obstacle course and necros would be nerfed.

5) Griefing - Wilderness style. We don't need more retardo wreck-it-all bullcrap.

6) LWC? Personal regions? - I say enable both.

Whatever we do with hell, you can be assured it will be hard as hell.

Don't expect to go in there and just mine to your heart's content. There will be a lot of death and a lot of rape, one way or another.

Just wondering, has there been any discussion on leaving hell once entering? I don't think Recall really would be a good ending imo. Hard to enter hard to leave.

Kainzo said regions won't be allowed in the nether. Beds already don't work in the nether, they just explode.

 

[Seratt]

We haven't really talked about it much except for the rape part of course.

 

[Kingtom404]

That's great! Guaranteed rape!

3) Will we be able to sleep in beds (read: set our bed spawns) there?

Beds explode when you try and sleep in them in the nether

 

[Jackrox256]

Beds explode when you try and sleep in them in the nether

Notch did this because if your portal got destroyed, and you had no flint and steel, and you set your spawn in the nether...bye bye real world. Well that's by best guess why we have exploding sleepy time.

6) LWC? Personal regions?

1. It will probably be 1000x1000 - nothing larger is really needed.
2. Hellgate will teleport necros to the spawn area (or 0,1,0)
3. The only way out of hell will be a wizard/caster (this 'could' change, perhaps by putting the exit at the very far side of hell - we want this to be difficulty and challenging in all aspects.
4. No, you cannot spawn or sleep in beds at hell
5. It may be possible to set your mark and recall in hell.
6. Hell will have no 'griefing' policies and will be a volatile environment - bent on group content and gathering. LWC's will be available - no regions.

So necromancers can get in but not out O.0?

Interesting...

We're working on having all casters - obtain 'port' skill.

Why do you keep giving the wizard skills away?

Let me handle the balancing - you handle the playing

But what about your enjoyment Kain? D:

 

[kriskills]

Druids also have ports. Not just wizards.
