MEDIA UPDATE #4 (1/6/2013)

This is our first Media Update of 2013! This is going to be a great year, because this is the year Persistent Frontier is going to be played by thousands of people around the world! ( At least we hope :grin: ) I would like to introduce our new mapper, Glovine, who has worked on numerous great Persistent World scenes and he will be helping Temuzu on the map. We hope to have the map make fast progress while still looking great. We have some new map screenshots along with troop and item screenshots.

What will the accuracy of military muskets be compared to the other ones? And what will the accuracy of muskets be over all? Like MM or NW? Because the muskets in NW are FAR too accurate.

The muskets in NW are too accurate?!? Since when?! The accuracy is perfect in my opinion. You can't make them too inaccurate because then people would rather use melee because you can't hit the broadside of a barn with a gun.
 
That how style really isn't what the tribes such as the Iroquois would use, the "curve" in it is far too great, and the length is just a tad too short. This seems to be more of a southern plains bow.
 
A thing on the pricing of native horses, as the natives traded the horses from the europeans shouldn't they cost just as much as for the colonial horses?

He as a good point^

How will the pricing for the Natives be compared to Colonials, and Soldiers?

The muskets in MM were perfect! And the melee in MM was better aswell! So i hope this feels more like MM than NW

The combat is going to be more MM focused.

The natives will have to come to a colonial settlement to trade so I'm 99% sure the price will be the same.

Updated the rules, hopefully they are more solid and balanced now.

I got rid of the " 5 minute wait " for war and raiding, and decided to put a 1 minute global respawn for everyone. The way I look at it, if people can wait 10 minutes to get back into a Napoleonic War battle, they can wait 1 minute in Persistent Frontier.

Seems fair. Good job on those.
 
I like this new idea of randoming area's outside of safe havens.  It would make it really feel like if you left town it is THE WILDERNESS.  Random evil people with no souls and P***ed off natives could scalp ya just because.  It would give all those people with aggressive personalities something to do and it would give the game a dayz feeling!  To me that sounds like fun.  Merchants and soldiers would have REAL jobs!  You'd really have to defend against the bandits who were NOT impeded with HALT!  Hand over 100 gold!
 
Yeah, when people play a warband mod, no matter what mod it is, they should expect to fight at any given moment. I wanted to re-create that in Persistent Frontier even though it is a RP mod, but still have it so people can RP respectively.
