Introducing Travel Charters

[Ever 2648]

 

 

Hey guys, simple post tonight. The custom fast travel plug-in has run into a few snags, so in the mean time we'll be using default sign travel. Once the plug-in is finished, all fast travels will retroactively have the custom fast travel plug-in applied to them.

 

Hopefully this should help alleviate the long travel time between locations as well as liven up some less-than-active areas. Any questions, suggestions, comments, or complaints, please post 'em below!

Time to figure out a way to monetize fast travel

when will we get the manpower plugin?

 

The map went without fast travels (besides Malin isle -> Tahn, Ceru, Asul) because the playerbase opted for a more-compact map with no fast travels. Unfortunately that doesn't work too well with the multi-island system. Island to island travel is impossible without the use of soulstones and even traversing through a mainland island is somewhat of a pain with how empty the land tends to be. I still firmly believe that our custom fast travel plug-in will properly balance fast travel. We'll have to put up with "overpowered" fast travels in the mean time, though.

 

As of now, there are no plans for a manpower plugin. There were miscommunication issues during the development process that led to problems. The tile system should still be considered in a 'test-run' phase. It's very likely that it will receive major tweaks, additions, or amendments in the future, and, if a manpower tracker would prove useful, it will be looked into again.

 

After some discussion with a few tech team members, the plugin IS being worked on. The original one was scrapped, but a revised manpower tracking plug-in is indeed in the works. I apologize for giving the wrong answer here; I was out of the loop on my own accord and spoke on behalf of people who were more knowledgeable on the state of the plug-in.

lol even dreadlanders just went to Johannesburg to rp bc mobility was so garbage, and the manpower plugin will just disenfranchise many people in an already shrinking and disgruntled playerbase

+1

 

i don't think fast travel is "overpowered"

i think the time that it talks to walk across land is overpowered, and i'm glad that it's being nerfed :)
