Dragon Riders Online OOC #1

Posted Road to surpassing Maximus in his weaponry is underway
Sorry for the delay, it took longer to be from the hospital than calculated.

Ghosty.... You can only write what weapon you are looking at, but not exactly what kind or details... Especially, when you are a novice, you shouldn't expect your weapons to be that good

For instance, Illya was able to give me a description of what kind of bow Samir was looking at. (Black bow) and it was I who gave her the details and the type...

lol I know : D
So make your changes (I'll edit out the descriptions later as I'm heading out for the hospital and then for work, in a minute) Either state what I would see in front of the Consumable Battle Items section or just make up what ever you want from the 4 things I pointed out.

Also these are consumable items. they are meant to be standard :0

An infantry soldier will use the same grenade that a general will use.. that was my logic :/
Anyone with enough cash can buy for example 5 greater mana potions or 20 small mana potion flasks
That's how it is for consumables

for weapons and armor, sure I can understand the different power levels as there is magic attributes also involved or you need high strength or dexterity stats.

Hmm.. so maybe I need high dexterity for throwing a grenade or setting up a bomb too  

Lol I don't know, Its your call after all. I'm only speculating as to how things might work : D

here are two rifles that I saw on the net :0 I like the 1st one
I like the colors and the skully If it was in the game, it most likely could pass for a chaos element weapon
 

Remember that this game rifles are run by tiers

In any case, will do the update soon^^

I am home now.. finally .. quite a long day
so yeah sorry for making your story drag on with my indecisiveness in choosing any stuff

Its okay

Posted by the way

ah lol you are much better at the breaking down of things : D
All this tier business, I'll leave it in your hands.

The acid turret... did it become a ground, fixed to the spot, kind of turret? Is it still an automatic turret. Like mark the targeted area and it will continuously fire at it till it runs out of ammo or the number of selected bullets to be used. Also what about multiple targeting, does it still have that? Meaning can the deploy-er set the targeted areas and it will shoot at them one after the other?

or did it get converted to your old fashioned turrets where the user has to move it about on its own and individually fire at will.

Acid will continuously attack the area if it founds the hostile unit, but it's accuracy is unreliable as it will just fire its ammo straight lines. Homing turrets will fire their bullets by targeting the opponent but when it is faced with several opponents, its useless...

Do not expect much from novice weapons

Acid turret will work as a motion detector? or I can(also) set the target to shoot at(as long as its not moving)?

Let me rephrase: two scenarios
1) Deploy > select 5 bullets > set target wild boar > Press launch button > Fires 1st bullet > Target starts running > Turret fires 4 more bullets within intervals as it tries to lock on and then fire, hoping it doesn't miss. (its easier to lock on and fire if the target is running away in a straight line than if it is zig-zagging)

2) Deploy > select 5 bullets > set target steel door > Press launch button > Turret fires 5 bullets in succession at the targeted point on the steel door.

It works like this

Deploy -> Attack hostile units (The elements are already given)  (Your novice turrets only have one type of bullets)

For Homing, the turret will fire at the hostile target (By auto locking the single hostile unit) (In other words, single target, it will be good, but for several it won't do much unless monsters will die by one shot from the turret. So several target would make this type really useless)

For ordinary turret, the turret will fire swarm of bullets at incoming enemies if they enter the turrets range. Good against enemies who are charging towards you and its probably going to be waste of bullets if you are trying to kill single enemy unless the target is really enormous. But this turret does not have targeting system. It will only fire all of its bullets at one direction.

Turrets only attack moving targets. For non-moving targets, you need to do it manually.

So for the Acid turret (Which I presume is classified as the ordinary turret that you mentioned above)
okay so for siege purposes, it can be used manually.
for single target, it will only shoot when it comes into range. Meaning I cannot deploy and then manually choose the target I want it to focus on.

....
Oh wait, stupid me
I'm saying turret but still thinking drones. you nullified the drone capabilities from my descriptions and turned them into simple / basic turret system.    the type that shoot at things infront of them (as in friendly fire is active).

The types that will shoot at ONLY distinguishable enemy units are probably not in the novice tier. Those can be programmed as to look for markers and only shoot at them. (Team Fortress 2 Red turret will only shoot at Blue units so when a blue spy disguises as a red soldier or spy, it won't shoot at it.)

But the ones that are used in Tom Clancy's The Division those at deployment can mark specific enemies and only shoot at them. (They do have a straight line of fire type too.) 

So yeah, I'm not getting the smart drones but analogue/manual turret systems. : D

Yes, Ghosty

You are not getting the smart drones

action starts a little later but you can see the turret and drones in action in this play-through

3:10 should be close enough if you want to skip to it... though watching it all in 1080p is

more vids a their site http://tomclancy-thedivision.ubi.com/game/en-US/media/index.aspx

Lol hovering drones would be in expert corner
Sure it will definitely helpful, but as it requires higher skill it will be hard for your character to use it

well then I better start grinding with the low level ones  
Will try to get to making my post...soon : D Didn't get enough time yesterday. was almost tempted to make a lazy post as I was quite sleepy when starting to work on it :/

Okay

probably it will start to be a serious arc from next chapter

been reading Blade-Note
Liking it so far... lots of killing and stuff so very little drama for the time being.. but I like the drawn character images among other stuff, so will be adding it to my stay-up-to-date list, which currently only includes The-Gamer : D

We will be starting prologue(2) soon

Well, that's unsettling.

Prologue 2? We haven't even entered the story proper?

yup... well... prologue(2) will be the last part of prologue

So far what do you think its happening?

I haven't a clue. The use of "alien" was interesting though.

You will find out soon enough
