Xsyon, otro sandbox

<Alfa> mejor asi
<Virtus> Yo no sé mucho de español
<Alfa> ok we can speak in english
<Virtus> lol he says in perfect english. if you have trouble understanding me let me know and i can use google translate
<Alfa> NP
<Virtus> curious about Xsyon?
<Alfa> yes i am curius about the combat system
<Virtus> well, it is open PVP twich based with at least partial looting
<Virtus> the final verdict on looting has not been set
<Alfa> o good
<Alfa> and about territory control?
<Virtus> territory...i am vague on the details...but i do know a bit...
*** Undefined string
<Cradlejoe> Good evening
<Alfa> ghell
<Alfa> hello
<Virtus> hey creadle
<Virtus> the area you control is based on the size of your guild. Once a guild is formed then you place your totem, this is the center of your guild. through the totem you can sell and trade items, you can set quests for other players etc.
<Virtus> the totem also defines your area of control
<Virtus> and the area in which you can build in
<Virtus> the bigger your guild the more area you can control
<Alfa> sounds cool
<Virtus> yup cradle :-P
<Virtus> yes, the totem is the center of everything...and with trading/selling/quests the other player does not have to be online for you to get your goods/money/reward
<Virtus> you jsut go to the totem and hand it it...at least that is what i came to understand
<Virtus> hand it in*
<Virtus> oh..jsut a note, everything i tell you may not be exactl, result may very, but it is a general concept
<Cradlejoe> Great concept though
<Cradlejoe> One thing that has been burning that me. Will there be any sort of hunger system where you need to eat to stay effective?
<Virtus> yup...diet is essential...in fact we have fat strong and skinny player models...and they visible morph betwene the 3
<Virtus> so you wont jsut be suddenly fat
<Virtus> or thin
<Cradlejoe>
<Virtus> you will get there
<Alfa> ooo thats is a good feature!
<Cradlejoe> Seriously, you guys have only just releaved this game?
<Virtus> so super skinny, skinny, strong, super strong, fat super fat altra fat lol
<Virtus> also the AI is queit impressive from the sounds of it..in short if you come across a wolf, wolf runs away from you, if you come across a pack of wolves you run away from it
<Virtus> animals work as they would in real life
<Virtus> wolves will be pack animals, as will the deer while the racoon and bear solitary, unless you come across a mother and her cub(s)
<Cradlejoe> Crafting... go ahead
<Alfa> yes craft
<Alfa> pls
<Virtus> items quality will depend on what you make them out of...
<Virtus> so say you make an axe out of pine it will break easily
<Virtus> however make it out of oak and it will be far stronger
<Virtus> not sure about this but i would imagine.... make a bow out of oak and its useless cuz it can't bend, make it out of willoe or elm or something springy and it will be far superior
<Virtus> another example...there will be grass armor
<Virtus> now, grass is useless agaisnt a knife, however, grass armor is used to conceal yourself for hunting
<Virtus> you will be a lot harder to spot in grass armor there for more likely to get that skitsh raccoon that doesnt stand still
<Virtus> technology...is old school..talking about wood and metal
<Alfa> mmm..and guns and vehicles?
<Virtus> so knives and axes nothing fancy
<Virtus> nope
<Alfa> ok
<Alfa> betteer for balancing
<Virtus> all fancy technology has been wiped off the face of the earth
<Virtus> however as the game developes that stuff will eventually start appearing
<Cradlejoe> like... iPods?
<Virtus> guns at least, but prob not for a long time
<Virtus> lol NO
<Virtus> we will have books
<Virtus> books will contain crafting schematics
<Virtus> so you read a book and learn a skill
<Virtus> or something like that, cant remember how exactly it works but you get blue prints for items and skills from books
<Alfa> Oh. an importan question for me...skill cap?
<Virtus> none
<Alfa> :S well will see
<Virtus> and its been undecided but around level 120 or 150 which will be very hard to get to you will be able to work with the developers to introduce your very own item into the game
<Cradlejoe> Holy Jam Tart!
<Virtus> but the level should be really hard to reach there for won't happen to often and the first person to master it won't be for a long time after release
<Alfa> greatt idea..if is a destroed wolrd we can create new things
<Virtus> oh...and discarding items....
<Virtus> when you drop an item you discard it...when you do this it is gone for good...however if enough items are dropped in an area a junk pile appears
<Virtus> you can then scavenge this pile with your scavenge skill to get goodies
<Alfa> like in wurm good
<Cradlejoe> Ah we have a Wurm fan?
<Virtus> the world is 1 giant playing area
<Alfa> maybe ^^
<Virtus> there is no loading etc
<Cradlejoe> No instances then?
<Virtus> nope
<Cradlejoe> Yey!
<Virtus> jsut keep running and running and running
<Virtus> or swimming, or w/e
<Alfa> and about PvE (apart of mobs)
<Virtus> NPCs uised by guilds, and animals
<Virtus> not sure if there will be mobs jsut yet
<Virtus> also..and i know very little about this
<Cradlejoe> Am I right in thinking that skills will go up by using them instead of spending skill points on them?
<Virtus> correct
<Cradlejoe> Win!
<Virtus> and you won't be able to be a master of everything
<Virtus> either from skill degredation or some other form
<Cradlejoe> Sounds good to me
<Alfa> ok that sound beter
<Virtus> but at some point there will be undead..i know very little about this aspect

<Virtus> and its been undecided but around level 120 or 150 which will be very hard to get to you will be able to work with the developers to introduce your very own item into the game but the level should be really hard to reach there for won't happen to often and the first person to master it won't be for a long time after release
