It's not that I dom't trust you,it's more that I feel we shouldn't need a second op for quite a while.

just puttin it out there

sucks that 1.8 is delayed

Since I'll be managing the server, I'll see if I need an op. Considering that server shouldn't be that big(10-20)people on at a time, I'm really thinking I shouldn't need help, unless if it's with building

I enjoy building, and i play plenty

Actually, pokemon IS an RPG... In fact, it uses elements from one of the earliest staples of the genre, Shin Megami Tensei. Which DOES have multiple endings.

I wasn't even sarcastic in my first post, btw. RPG was a genre long before video games came about, and the RPG video game genre is simply what a game is called when it is based on systems brought about by classic RPGs. It has nothing to do with plot, endings or character creation. At all. End of discussion.

hmm, then i'm thinking too literally :/
i'm thinking of the role you play in a game and you're thinking of the actual roots

Stat-managing is one of the things that should be included in an rpg to make it an rpg though, if that makes sense.
"An RPG to me is a game that has well developed characters and story, focuses on stats, levelling up, items iventories etc. And is of a pretty decent length." This is what I agree with.

But that's where I disagree.
Resident Evil has inventory management and pokemon has stats, but do those count as rpgs?
i don't believe so

I may not be that profound here, but I'm trustworthy and would love an op status

Good, you people understand what i meant by arena

also, could we have admin made dungeons?

Anyone else think that pikmin would look cool on the 3ds?
I mean the games already look 3d on the gamecube

But

I don't think RPGs need multiple endings to be considered as such they are just one type of RPG an open ended RPG. An RPG to me is a game that has well developed characters and story, focuses on stats, levelling up, items iventories etc. And is of a pretty decent length.

But that's the thing, managing stats doesn't really make you have a role in the game, its just stat managing.

Actually, Feld0 and myself already have somewhat of a system set up D.Player. I'm the person who's going to be watching over the server as a mod. Also, we already have an idea of which mods.

If you ever need a hand adminin I'll be glad to help

I have no plans to shut down the server after I start it, so you can rest assured it'll be up for a while. However, if I am forced to shut it down and cease its operations for whatever reason, I will provide a complete backup of the world to everyone who was part of it. You'll be able to import the backup into the single-player game afterwards.

I'm planning to use the official Minecraft server application for this, as I understand it will provide an official alternative to Craftbukkit and hMod, which provide mods as modular plugins. But we may need to wait a little after 1.8 comes out to see what mods will be available for it. And of course, the server will not go public until I'm absolutely sure I can make it griefer-proof. Currently, I have a setup that backs the world up every 30 minutes, along with a Craftbukkit plugin that logs every block change into a database, and lets ops roll stuff back at will.

To respond to your suggested rules:

1) No PvP. We want to have a cooperative atmosphere where we all work together to do awesome things. Griefing is a ban-worthy offense no matter what.
2) Goes without saying. It'll be a survival server, so item spawning is a big no-no. Asking to be an admin would also most likely be a way to guarantee you'll never be one.
3) Looting should be an offense. However, a cooperative communal atmosphere may largely help in keeping it down.

We should have places where pvp is allowed, like an arena or something

It should open sometime after the 1.8 update, that's all details Feld0 has given so far...

Cool, my old server(s) shut down so I'm stuck in server limbo :/
I wanna build, but can't due to fear of losing my creations
I want a good, permanent server to build on before i start a new project

Oh, btw before the server goes up we need to compile a list of server-wide rules. My ideas are:
1: PVP is allowed, but destroying other players' buildings is banned.
2: No item spawning/ asking to be admins
(3:) what are your thoughts on looting (raiding people's chests for stuff)?

Another thing we need is a mods list
Aether would be cool, and I would like planes, more mobs/items/stackables, runecraft, Iconomy, and some building protection program

also we should put links to the mods' pages for recipes

We also should have players be able to access;
List of players online
/home and /sethome
and /spawn

Me and my gf were discussing what classifies an RPG and I wanted to see you guys' input on it. I think an RPG is a game with a story not set in stone that has multiple endings depending on what choices(or actions) you do. Games with light/ dark stat's usually are RPGs. Games with you being involved in stats or moves are not RPGs in my opinion. So that means that final fantasy and pokemon are not RPGs in my mind, but games like Fallout, Drakengard, or Bioshock are RPGs

Can i play? I can't help monetarily, but I'm on constantly so I could be kind of a noob guide

If anything the 3ds's 2nd stick should be a battery extender too. And come with a new dock for the add on

Good for you, also long time no see.

I was off for a long time :/
Nobody replied to anything, so i left for a while

Just won this auction, rather hyped, and it should be here by the first or second

I just use tap jump, AKA the control pad. But it could be Y. And it doesn't feel natural to me. Not to you.

i hate tap jump, and the 3ds circle pad doesn't seem very tappy :/

*Gasps* I LOVE THEM! >: (


I like this. But I don't think B button is natural for me. Maybe it could be this:
A normal attack button (A/Y Button)
- A special attack button (B/X Button)

But of course. This is only the default controls, not the definite controls.

but the b button was how the cube did it, and that's how i based my scheme.
how is the tried and tested method not natural? The 3ds's controls are basically a gamecube without a c-stick or z button.
we also need a jump button :/ that'd probably be x/y, again like the cube

So you are not thinking of the new DL and DR buttons to do anything? Two more attacks, there is a lot of ways to go there...

Oh, I was talking about the 3ds's control scheme, but the wii u's controller could, again, use the gamecube's scheme. with the dl button (which wasn't on the cube) as a dedicated final smash button

Updated with 3DS Default Control Scheme. Anyone like?

It's not a requirement that all buttons be used.

It's often more easier to have as little movement of the hands as possible.
The game only requires:
- A normal attack button (A button)
- A special attack button (B Button)
- A button to dodge and block (L button)
- Possibly a button to grab, but this was also normal+special on the Wii Remote + Nunchuk setup, which I found easier.(R Button [its closer to the z button, like the gamecube])
- Movement (Circle pad, duh)
- Taunt (d pad)

My edition
it'd be just like the gamecube controller, minus the c stick and z button

just so you guys aren't confused. i dont have a problem with the exclusion of dvd playback it just seems weird. the frecking ps2 could play dvds 2 gens ago. nintedno says licensing fees would be too much. it just seems weird... just wondering what you guys thought

Here's the thing, dvd playback was a main selling point of the PS2, and now there's no point of putting that in the wiiu because it won't help move units. Nobody's going to buy a $250 system as a dvd player because everybody as one already.
DVD is old tech, there's no reason to put it into new technology

Okay well maybe a sequel to Metroid Fusion, or a spin-off game.

Or maybe they might be making the new legend of Zelda game, everyone likes zelda, right?

I'd love a sequel to fusion.
Maybe samus would be wanted by the federation for destroying the station above SR388? And whatever happened to the SAX? Maybe one survived somehow.

What about if the touch screen was used as an arcade stick?

I just got an idea from looking at computer's avatar. What if there was a stage that reduced all of the characters down to 8-Bit sprite versions of themselves. Not really useful in any way, but I think it would be awesome.

that'd be really hard, like some of the animations

It (refering to the S-AX because it is a parasite) would be a great fighter!! The thing is, since it has the Ice Beam throughout the entire game, I would think that it would be another character. Hopefully it wont seem like a clone.


I don't want any characters to be removed at all! It was bad enough that Mewtwo was removed (Lucario doesn't cut it, even though he is a great character)!! Also, gba version of Zero is who I want the MOST!!


Yeah, I agree. Lag is never good (though I never played too much to notice). Maybe the ability to use Custom Stages online would be good (just hope that no-one creates a boxed stage)!! Also, maybe a ranking system should be added. Lastly, an online Tournament mode (or hosting party sessions)!!

I really think zero would fit in well, it would represent both sides of mm games. The console ones with x( in my opinion are slower but stonger) and gba zero (faster but not as strong)

Yeah... I think you're right. But don't forget Bomberman, it would be awesome if it was in the next game.

He's a head, so he'd be a good idea.
