A Little idea about some monsters

Finlander · Post by **Finlander** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 6:43 pm

Okay as all of you know we got things like: storm trooper and dath vader.
Not that theres anything bad in it, the monster are nicely balanced in my oppinion, but as ive seen what brunus has done to build some "Lore" behind the valor, iam asking if they could be renamed to fit the lore. As we have one now, lets use it.

Also some people might take the shard bit more serious, and not as an sidekick of certain boring shard what has no imagination on it.

So basicaly thats the idea.

agreed, they dont seem to fit in uo. no matter how you look at it. and keepin the rpg elements coherent (no matter that ppl dont rp) makes up really much of the shards overall feelin

If you take a look at the custom monster section in L2P there are descriptions for certain creatures in it (All the custom ones I have created are documented). I provide some kind of background to the origin of these creatures (Example: Phantom asps are suspected mutants of silver serpents and vampires are the result of the opening of pandora's box).

Theres a few topics arround explaining the lore thing. But Ill write a few books and lock them in Luna later, yes.

Thats something we were debating today. About the star wars stuff, and Demise talking. People are thinking of AOV as a "updated-geeky" version of Demise, basically, a shard exactly like Demise, but with star wars and that kind funny stuff.
We suggest stopping talking about Demise, and running as an independent shard. No need for references or anything like that.

Lets take this topic as a discussion about this.

What I've been thinking of, is making the Star Wars stuff only spawn in the Battle Dome, or like Hector suggests, rename then to match the lore.

And you dont have to worry about the lore stuff, I'm writing the book as you read this post.

Indeed, but as i said i ment: Darth vader and strom troopers, as we got own lore now, why use an movie theme?

Those were just added in for kicks, the're not a big history behind em or anything. The only story is the one of the sith and demitel taking over haven.

Also be sure those books are also on the forums, as its more accessable. Every single custom monster should be documented, there are quite a few that are not, like most of the demitel "mini bosses". I usually document as soon as I put it in, that way people know about them.

the storm troopers and star wars stuff might seem geeky to some people. Boo freekin Hoo, its Red's server and they have been here as long as I have been playing it. He puts more effort into running a server than any other admin, let him keep his troopers and vader. Where the hell is R2-D2? And you should make an Ewok champ spawn, I would love to kill those little bastards.

Doc its red's server and you can prolly notice that from my post that iam being polite here.

But as i said, we got a lore now, lets use it.

and my main point is that some people dont even take this shard seriously cause of things like that. even tho they should cause its a great shard.

My main concern is people thinking this is a funny/bad shard. I can easily create a lore using Darth Vader and Demitel, but I dunno. Its all up to the guys, I guess, no need to fully remove them.

I agree there's no need to get rid of them, I enjoy killing the Star Wars guys (most of the time). But if they are gonna be changed, they could easily be converted into something like Demitel's Army or something like that. Have the storm-troopers be footsoldiers and increase rank depending on how hard the mob is. Darth Vader...not sure about that one. Could possibly be Demitel's highest general.

I'm just shootin' ideas out, I don't know if anyone will like this, but I might as well say it. Also, these ideas are only if the Star Wars mobs will be changed, if they aren't gonna be, disregard this post.

The "New Dimension" that the evil mage conjourned also created rips from the seams of the planes. Soon, other beings from a galaxy far, far away presented theirselves. They appear to be allied with Demitel, and are hostile towards many. However, there have been some warriors who are stil untainted by the dread general of this new dimension, and will onlyt be hostile towards those of the dark side.

iam not asking to remove them, and iam not saying its a big deal. Iam only asking to have them renamed.
Iam just saying that maybe people would start thinking this as an real shard instead of some fucking playgroud of demise...

Goddamn starwars fans

and no they dont really bother me but think of an new player who starts here and decides to go hunt and first thign he runs to is jedi's and storm troopers, then he goes to his bank and sees skill deeds, and on his way to the bank he sees 40% of luna houses un build.
Yeah gives a feeling of an good shard.

But seems theres noone else to support me with this one than brunus, and no this wasnt purely my idea to make this topic

Goddamn starwars fans Wink

Hear hear!

methinks the problem with them is that seeing star wars characters might add to the starting curve in valor. when you get used to them, np (still feels a bit out of the place tho). in favor of renaming / removing em

There will be quests in the future based on them, and it will fall into place more. I'm just busy with other stuff.

I agree that they seem out of place but keep in mind that these were created a long time ago before the actual lore was set. It would be a shame to see them disappear as there are a lot of fun mobs to deal with. Maybe move them to a different area and give them some kind of storyline (Or change the name of them).

Nobody wants to remove them, they are great. You could just change their names and that's it.

Only reason why I restated this is that there were still people talking about removing them.
