Perchance to Dream's page

Hi there, I put in a pledge of $100 at the last Kickstarter and obtained the Pioneer pack. This means that I also have Destiny's Twin, Alliance Pack, Character Pack, four months game time etc.

I have been watching the discussions for many months, even putting my head above the parapet a few times, and my hopes for the game, that I am looking for, have risen and fallen like the tides. In the present incarnation of EE, it would be a total waste of time for me as I have no interest in capping towers. Also, living in Europe, I would probably miss most of the windows even if I was interested.

I did understand that there would be PVP in the world but I did not think that it would be so huge a component. I even went back and had a look at the Kickstarter page and watched the video again; this is where most of it is taken up with a party attacking a goblin temple - with only a few seconds showing a siege engine destroying a tower. I would love to play in a living evolving world where I wasn't some avatar or hero destined to save the world - but in its current incarnation and for the foreseeable future, I fear that this is not the place for me. Maybe I will have another look closer to OE.

I have played on PVP servers before and know what is involved; but, my manual dexterity is not what it was and I would just be a free kill and a liability for any company that I joined. I did think of, and was interested in, being a dedicated crafter but the opinion was that this would be some sort of a lesser character - as opined historically as well as recently in some threads.

So, I am giving someone the opportunity to take over my account and benefit from the software and in game benefits (the Paizo downloads and miniatures, I am adding to my fantasy library).

At present, apart from my Goblinworks account saying that I am signed up for EE, it does not appear to say much else (unless I am missing something) and so it is difficult to prove my status. If you are interested then send me a message. I am going to be away on business for a few days and so will not be able get back to you immediately.

Good luck to you all in your empire building.

Hi y'all,

I am still skeptical about the direction of some of the aspects of the game but have not given up all hope that I will enjoy it.

I would like to bring together ideas from some recent threads and see if they can be combine:

(1) We know that taverns will have interiors
(2) We know that there is an unconscious state before death
(3) There have been questions about whether PVP should be allowed in taverns

Why not bring all of these together and instigate bar room brawls?

A Half-Orc walks up to the bar, with a mug of ale in one hand, and grabs a large bell. Ringing it, she bellows - "Bar Room Brawl" and all hell is let loose.

We could have non-lethal damage delivered and people fight until unconsciousness; maybe with the ability to crawl to the bar to get a nice refreshing and revitalising ale which would allow them to return to the fight - albeit a bit more drunk!

As people's ale consumption increases their ability to attack would also reduced, but maybe with the ability to take a bit more damage due to the dulling effect of alcohol? Also a reduction in the clarity of vision.

If a person does kill another then this could effect their reputation and possibly bar them from the tavern for a set amount of time. Though an assassin with a contract may gain reputation for this type of action instead.

Why not have a number of achievement titles: Drunk and disorderly, bar room brawler, out for the count etc.

As time went on, furniture and other items could be made available for use as improvised weapons and used as such. This would make feats like improvised weapons (available in TT) really nice and viable. Anyone up for playing a Drunken Master?

Many of the mechanics appear to be already available and with a few tweaks should not be too difficult to implement in this fashion. Maybe this isn't a priority but might make for some interesting fun and character interaction.

Just an idea.
