Vives 2 Progress
Posted: 01 Apr 2007 09:13 PM |
Hi folks,
Just thought I'd drop a line to show you where we're all at. The DM, builder and writer teams have been very busy lately and we've made a lot of progress:
* Added Tiefling, Drow and Vampire subraces
* Prestige classes are all entirely DM permission and will require prior written applications to be approved
* Revamped, all-Flash website has been completed and will soon be ready to launch
* Implemented all HCR rules, because resting and death weren't realistic enough
* Lowered all XP rates - we're aiming for an average of Level 4
* Finished creating areas; due to limitations, all exteriors have been scrapped, and Vives 2 will be entirely interior-based and dungeon/tunnel-based
* Ordered in 4 new servers to fit all the areas we've created - Ara's on a roll, folks!
* Open lore system means that players will be able to easily add/edit lore (just like Wikipedia) with minimum moderation
* Low magic system implemented: you demanded it, so we've now nerfed all spellcasters (especially Phoenix's)
* Stripped out persistent merchants and player housing, because they cause too many TMIs and don't add to RP anyway |

Totally approved! I can't wait for Vives 2 to come out now.
I hadn't expected the idea of spellcaster nerf to actually come, but if anyone deserves it it's Phoenix! Who needs his crazy mages running around ruining the V2 environment? Tsk. |

I don't think i want to play with any of you. You are all turning into a bunch of whiney crybabies.
I don't think mages are powerful enough.

| I've got it leaked that Druids are still the powerless priests of Elbereth, who no longer exists. They rule over the acidic rain that ravaged the exterior world and laid waste to all civilization above ground. Their only power is their capability to mumble incoherently about the Apocalypse. |

Correct. Also, worms, beetles and other squirmy things.
This is quite exciting because we can create a non-epic version of the Devastation Beetle and make it one of the available animal companions. We think Druids will be quite pleased with the changes we have made to the Druid class. Gnomes and Dwarves especially will benefit from this new Rock Druid focus.
It is, of course, all the result of the current Atalan invasion, which has caused us to drastically change our plans for V2. Without giving too much away, you'll all be hauled underground to the new campaign setting. Also, we're not going to use that funny "Atalan" name any more, they'll be Drow. |

| Why not force all players at character creation, including Xaranthir the Second, to play gnomish underground manual-excavators, surveyors, labourers, and miners? And since such characters would all be non-combatants, all creatures, other than the worms and the beetle animal companions of the rock druids, should force Will saves to avoid being 'Feared'. Also, since these gnomes are a little on edge from all the drow attacks, they should probably all start at level one with cursed items that award them a -12 to their Will saves. |
