Froi said:I somewhat agree that it would be ****ty to have someone walk in and blow your head off, but if this is really trying to replicate the Wild West, or any time period for that matter, you set rules, and the players choose if they want to abide by them (Combat-Logging/Exploiting Glitches and such not a part of this). It's against the law today to walk up and shoot up a store, but people do it anyways. It's against the law to walk up to someone in an alley and stab the **** out of them, people do it anyways, so it should be against the law to walk up and blow Johns head off, but we can still do it anyways. If you have a Sheriff Faction, they will be the ones to make sure that citizens uphold these laws/rules, again, this doesn't include stuff like combat-logging, exploiting glitches, and so on.
Secondly, you say you wont have an "Official" server? I would highly recommend getting an official server if this mod ever gets finished, you need to have the player-base in one server when you start out, you want 50 people on one server, not 4 in one server, 2 people in another, etcetera. Best of luck on the Mod, I look forward to playing it if it gets released!
@Austro: I hear DannyEle has designed a scene prop of sorts, or something like that, for Persistent World that makes it so players cannot harm each other when standing on it/in it's radius or something.
If that's true, then that could use used to designate safe zones and PvP zones which would eliminate tons and tons of admin dependency and ensure players don't get pooped on at the same time.
