Will this idea make it to the voting ? after all it's had alot of buzz around it, would be interesting to see how well it does in a vote
^^ question answered
I think that at night, the towns should light up, cause people are in them and that after 7PM, when it gets dark, it doesnt get dark instantly, but starts at normal light and on some nights if the moon is out, you can see it! then the light lowers and lowers until midnight, then it slowly gets lighter and lighter, what do you think? I also think that you should get attacked more often at night, by animals and *maybe* the undead! LOLGood evening!*
*get it?
Note: I checked if it was already posted and I found only 2 threads that don't look like mine
So, without further ado... here it is:
Description: The sun sets over the wild west, you can hear people laughing in the saloon and the wild animals start to roam near the town. (well, this is more a literary description :unsure
How does the night affect actual gameplay?
- From 9 P.M. to 7 A.M. the map is darker (like in the picture)
- The danger of a job grows by 10% *
- The luck of a job grows by 10%**
- The wages of a job grow by 10%
- The experience of a job is lowered by 10%*
* It's dark and you can't see very well. You might trip or hit other things.
** Again... it's dark, maybe someone forgot or lost something valuable near your workplace
You have a nightjob, it's more difficult but your payment is bigger
* You're tired and you don't pay so much attention at things around you , maybe when you work at Prison Guarding a prisoner escapes and you have to catch him... that makes you waste time.
Objects that work at night: (obviously they have to be created)
- Henry's Candle: Henry Walker will give you for free an old candle. It lowers the danger of a job by 3% (only at night)
- Torch - You can use the torch to light even the darkest corners, or scare wild animals... but it may also set something on fire, be careful! It lowers the danger of a job by 7% but also lowers the payment of a job by 4% (you have to be careful with your torch near that pile of wood
- Gas Lamp - Lowers the danger of a job at night by 10%
*The Torch and The Gas Lamp are sold in the General Store (Torch at level 1, Gas lamp at level 2)
* The Torch costs 50$ and the Gas Lamp costs 100$
06 October Edit:
Some of you don't like the exp. reduction and others said that the idea is not fully developed, so I decided to add more things:
- A premium function : "Working day and night" -> Wages : from +10% to +25% / Experience : from -10% to +15%
- New item: Coffee (you just have to keep it in the inventory) makes the experience rate from -10% to go back to normal.
- New missions...? (do I have to make them?)
- And finally... night makes the game more realistic... outlaws were usually stealing horses/robbing graves in the dark of the night.
They have to make it so its suits every countries time zones.
I have a point and i think is extremely valid:
If you only play in the morning then that's your problem.
why? well i would ask you:
is it an issue that you miss loads of fort battles because of this?
initially you say "yes, i missed out!" but then you say "no" because it ddnt really matter at the end of te day because you achieved something somewhere else in the game.
so its just tough love isn't it? you put up with it.
why?
because its the same for everyone
so theres 2 solutions:
you either play the game without it bothering you and plod along at your own pace.
or you go out of your way and wake up at 5 in the morning to maximise in-game earnings.
im for sure exaggerating but im think you get my point
At the end of the day the onus is on the player.
so there is no problem with the game, what you get upset about is the feeling you are loosing out somewhere.
If you only get online every day from 500 to 505 then you will be playing at night,
if you decide you want to see what its like during the day i suggest logging on during the day would be a good idea?
the choice is down to the player. there's no loosing out there.
also this would be a nice implementation for innogames as this would attract more interest to the game and open up possibilities of quests jobs etc.
the more the merrier and richer...
so if night and day were implemented along these lines i don't see any problems.
of course you will get the usual whiner post. but were used to that now...
I vote for night and day graphics, matching Real Life night and day for all countries.
