Bu Kek Siansu -> Character pages Updates (4/30/2022 11:23:02)


quote:

Hello! Yes, character pages need major attention. I have an overhaul of character pages on the schedule, but I keep having to push it back.


In the meantime, do you have some ideas, requests, etc?

I would like an additional option to show up a guest from Call/Summon guests.

For an example we can have 2x Poelala (pet+guest) on our character pages.

Would it be possible to create an additional "Guests" option for the "Attack Menu" like the "Pets" option?

Or, do something that the first Guest from Call/Summon guests will automatically show up like the first Pet?

If possible, for a good reason, an option that we can totally lock our character pages ourself anytime
for a short / long term of time
which they CAN'T see/vieuw even they use the link of our character pages.

This is not the same as when you have removed your Character ID# from your profile section
because they still can see/vieuw by using the link of your character page.




weatherseed -> RE: Character pages Updates (4/30/2022 16:25:59)

I'd like the ability to swap out another character's equipment, maybe with a marker to highlight which equipment I'm viewing or a popup. Tying into what Bu suggested, I'd also like to see a menu that allows other users to call/summon guests in our inventory.

And to wrap it all up, I'd like to have the option to lock my character so no one can do those things.




Bu Kek Siansu -> RE: Character pages Updates (5/1/2022 9:14:30)


I have some more ideas/requests.

1). Background: (if possible and whenever the staff members have enough some free time)
Instead of one background, why not add as many as possible backgrounds taken from any Quests, Events, etc?
  • A new background taken from any Quests, Events, etc can be added anytime.
    An option that we can select one of the backgrounds.

    2). Z-Token Package: (if possible and whenever the staff members have enough some free time)
    Includes ONE of the following bonuses:
  • Custom Weapon
  • Custom Armor
  • Custom Shield
  • Custom Spell
  • Custom Guest
  • Custom Pet
  • Custom Misc Item

    So, we can have good matched colors of Background/Weapon/Armor/Shield/Guest/Pet/etc on our Character Pages.

    They can make a copy as a new Z-Token Package which can save time of making a standard Z-Token Package.

    If there has a standard Z-Token Package been released, many players were (probably) not interested.

    However, it would be another story if a new Z-Token Package was as a clone of a Custom item listed above.




  • Kaizoku -> RE: Character pages Updates (5/1/2022 17:45:31)

    In other character page related suggestions, I'd hope for more QoL and bug fix updates so that whenever I look at my character page I can feel a sense of comfort knowing my character lives in a well-functioning, balanced world.

    How could you say "will never happen", are you sure 100%? Totally incorrect!
    I have a proof why I said "Totally incorrect!" but I won't reveal it by the time being,
    it's unnecessary to discuss about it here. We'll see when its time comes.

    Unless you are somehow privy to future releases or plans for the game (which would be highly unethical as you are not an AE staff member), I think that making posts like this with such certainty is incredibly misleading.

    I personally find this very worrying.




    Spendin -> RE: Character pages Updates (5/1/2022 20:24:59)

    So building off of Bu Kek Siansu’s Background idea.

    What if there were collectible backgrounds? Let me explain.
    From certain shops like the Quest Reward Shops for instance you would be able to buy a background template about that event that would appear on your character page with a name, brief description and then an optional area for the player to elaborate on their character’s feelings about this part of their life.

    For example, say you went and revisited the Attack on Granemor event from the Devourer Saga and completed the end quest again. In the reward shop, there’d be a background called “Failed to Protect Granemor” and when purchased it would show up on the Character Page like this:

    Failed to Protect Granemor
    <name> joined the fight to protect Granemor from the undead armies of the Devourer’s Network but was forced to retreat as the town’s defenders were overrun.

    Then the player could write whatever they want underneath about their character’s experiences and/or feelings about this. Were they angry or saddened? Did they think Artix made the right call to sound the retreat or did they want to keep fighting?

    Or maybe make it less specific and literally just call it the event name “Attack on Granemor”. AdventureQuest is such a long-running game that your character could have been a child when this happened, maybe they were saved by a named character like Artix, and in a separate background like one from the Paladin Class Shop you can say being saved by Artix is why your character signed up for his reformed Paladin Order
    (I don’t actually know what the canon answer is for how much time has passed since the events of the game began so I’m assuming it moves in real-time and people just don’t visibly age because fiction.)

    Of course, all that would clash with your character being "The Chosen" who lived all these events but it's pretty easy to headcanon that the Chosen is a separate character that is simply represented in-game by your character for gameplay reasons. The choice on whether your character is actually the Chosen or simply portrays them in-game could be completely up to you this way!

    I'm very sorry if I made a mistake, it was wrong of me if you think
    making posts like that with such certainty is incredibly misleading.

    Let's just discuss about something else like some other ideas, requests, etc!

    Korriban Gaming -> RE: Character pages Updates (5/2/2022 0:49:38)

    Personally I would rather the staff focus on other things than the character page but since they already scheduled to revamp it then here are my thoughts.

    No, just no. This makes the game more P2W than it already is. Furthermore, it's a lot of work for the staff.




    Bu Kek Siansu -> RE: Character pages Updates (5/2/2022 2:00:46)


    Korriban Gaming:
    It could be better if you posted a qoute whole of the part 2 including the reason why, not just a part of it. [;)]
  • A lot of players can get a benefit from any copy of them as a new Z-Token Package.

    It's not really as P2W as you think, the REAL purpose is to improve our Character Pages for this following reason:
    So, we can have good matched colors of Background/Weapon/Armor/Shield/Guest/Pet/etc on our Character Pages.

  • rai0kakashi -> RE: Character pages Updates (5/2/2022 10:16:33)

    Bu Kek Siansu, so based on your reasoning of wanting to have a good matched colors of Background/Weapon/Armor/Shield/Guest/Pet/etc on our Character Pages, is it okay that I understand it as you wanted custom color versions of existing Weapon/Armor/Shield/Pet for them to match in color at character pages?

    If that is so, why are there a need for custom Spell, guest and misc item token packages since they do not show up in character pages?
    Do note that I am not disapproving your suggestions.

    Since you want matching colors on character pages, you can also consider buying custom title package while you are at it.




    Kaizoku -> RE: Character pages Updates (5/2/2022 15:07:55)

    It's a fairly common thing to see Bu both suggest custom packages and hint at supposedly knowing about future releases.




    Bu Kek Siansu -> RE: Character pages Updates (5/2/2022 15:30:41)


    rai0kakashi: Yes, that's okay as you understood it.

    They don't show up, that's why these following ideas, see my first post:

    http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=22402499

  • An additional "Guests" option for the "Attack Menu" like the "Pets" option?
  • Or, do something that the first Guest from Call/Summon guests will automatically show up like the first Pet?
  • We have a Misc Item that can call/summon a guest. So, a Custom Misc Item is not a bad idea, is it?

    We don't have enough matched colors of the current Weapons/Armor/Shields/Guests/Pets
    unless we can combinate them with some copy of Custom Weapons/Armor/Shields/Guests/Pets, etc.
    The more they are avaiable the better for matching colors on our Character Pages.



    See my previous post regarding the Backgrounds:
    http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=22402516

    My ideas regarding the Backgrounds for our Character Pages.

    The system could be made (a bit) (the same way) like our Character Faces where we can get them from Warlic's shop.

    Character Faces » Change Face » Masculine Face Shop | Feminine Face Shop
  • Z-Token Face Shop
  • Mirror of Colors
  • Custom Faces

    Character Page Backgrounds » Change Background » Background Shop
  • Z-Token Background Shop
  • Custom Backgrounds

    I am confused about this tbh, seems to have no link towards color customization on character pages.

    Also, I still do not understand how is custom spell token package linked towards color customization on character pages.
    Is it that what you wanted is actually a token package that provides exclusive gears (e.g. equipment effects) to your in-game character?

    If for somehow someone doesn't have a Call/Summon Guest in the 8 active inventory Spell slots,
    then a Misc Item or a Custom Misc Item would be an option that can Call/Summon a Guest.
  • Then, do something that the first Guest from the first of a Misc Item or a Custom Misc Item
    from the 8 active Misc Item slots that can Call/Summon a Guest will automatically show up like the first Pet?
  • NOTE: You can activate/deactivate it to prevent an error in case you also have a Call/Summon Guest in the 8 active Spell slots.

  • How about if you have both of a Call/Summon Guest in the 8 active inventory Spell slots
    and a Misc Item or a Custom Misc Item that can Call/Summon a Guest in the 8 active Misc Item slots?

    You should be able to activate/deactivate it (which one of them?) to prevent an error regardless of which a Guest you want to use
    from a Call/Summon Guest in the 8 active inventory Spell slots
    OR
    from a Misc Item or a Custom Misc Item that can Call/Summon a Guest in the 8 active Misc Item slots.

    http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=22402548
    The purpose of a Custom Spell is that you can request a Call/Summon Guest to be made.
    As a Custom color version of an existing Call/Summon Guest. Otherwise it's up to the Staff to decide/handle it.
    The more they are avaiable the better for matching colors on our Character Pages.

    It is not any insider info. Bu Kek pm'd me to ask if we would ever offer other custom item packages. I said something along the lines of It'd be great if we could offer other custom packages, but I don't have the staff to pull it off. Maybe someday.

    I have not brought up the character page update yet because I originally had it scheduled right after Flash was no longer supported... the beginning of 2020. It kept getting pushed back since it required a lot of work from Cap. With Spider on board we've made some progress, but there is so much going on this year. We have some neat features to be included like alignment displayed based on the Moral Compass, a backstory paragraph, and yes multiple backgrounds to choose from. One very iffy idea for backgrounds is to have packages include a background to display on your character page. Ie. a player buys Champion of the Light Realm the Light Realm bg is included.




    Bu Kek Siansu -> RE: Character pages Updates (5/3/2022 18:16:42)


    I sent Hollow these following ideas, I think it's better to let others know so that they can add some ideas as well.

    Would it be possible to update the Character Page when clicking on the

    Currently, the image and animations are broken which we cannot see

    Perhaps to update/code the AQ Character ID# from the Profile?
    Or to update/code it some other way to improve it?
    So, we can see our characters, stats, etc each other.

    Currently, we can only see our own characters, stats, etc
    by using the Game Launcher v.207 Character page.

    We cannot show up our Characters (Custom Face), Stats etc to others.

    It's a nice idea in the sense that it would give new value to less desirable and old packages, should ones be retroactively added. Perhaps using existing artwork for them would be desirable over custom ones, though? There is a plethora of beautiful scenery in AE games.

    At least, for the time being, does it mean including ALL the current 50000 Z-Token Packages?

    50000 Z-Tokens for $100.00 > http://www.battleon.com/Coins

    Would it be possible to add some kind of animations to make it more increeble? [:)]

    It would be great if we know (in advance before purchasing) a list of Z-Token Packages including backgrounds.
