Is this a forum based game now ? - chase.way - 01-29-2014

I wonders where should I fly - stories and bios
I wonder who interact with - comm channel
I wonder who to make angry - bounty board
PvP - feedback thread

So, apart from like 40 players who bother to log in, does anyway play anymore or its just a forum based game now ?

Discovery has always been a little unique in my eyes, about integrating the forum play with the actual ingame play. It makes things possible which you cannot do with just the normal game.

Perhaps it does show, but you still cannot have this forums without the actual game portion of DiscoveryFreelancer.

One cannot exist the way it does, without the other.

I agree with that one, but now its all forums no game.

Its like 1 day in game then 6 months on forums ?

Reading this thread almost made me want to start up a Discovery-based GURPS campaign.

With the current lagginess of the server, I daresay PvP via dice rolls and exposition would be more rewarding than snub fights at the moment.

Hah. That would be an interesting change, I am not sure how many people would get on board with that though.
Although that would make a change from a game of skill(or lag(?)) to a game of chance.

A cool thought.

Ahh yes, timings. That's something that is a little hard to regulate, as far as i've seen, it's whenever players get to posting a thought.

You cannot keep all events on a same timeline, although if you noticed earlier, the admins put up an announcement stating that a year has passed in Sirius. Perhaps all of the events occur within the same year? Who knows.

@moveit56

Oh I think you misunderstood me, I mean as, people log in 1 day to play, then they just hang around on forum for 6 months till they log in again Big Grin

P.S. I wonder how many active forum members we have....


RE: Is this a forum based game now ? - Remnant - 01-29-2014

Ah, Indeed I did misunderstand you. As to answer that question? I know of quite a few people who login regularly. I don't believe that to be true for everyone.

Official factions usually work that way. One guy mentions logging, perhaps a few others join him. This happens on a daily basis.

OP is not true, no need to say more.

But that idea about a game ^^
I think we can use /dice commnad for pvp... "My saber has 10+d20 attack. Attacking now..."
Crazy.Attacker rolled 20 on dice
"Ha, critical hit, you are instakilled!"

Sounds good for me...I can be only better in pvp with this Big Grin
