Flight and pathing

[Zyric]

OK I am separating the flight discussion from the half-dragon.

I like the concept of flight, whether it is magic spell or race based because there are ways to counter act both forms. A well placed web or paralyze spell should take out a flying creature while a dispel magic should take care of magic based flyer. The one thing I can see that might be an issue has to do with PvE, and that depends on the pathing logic. In some games if a NPC can't find a path to you then it resets, which returns it to its original location fully healed. This could be a real problem with flyers besides it cripples the tactic of climbing up on a rock and using a long bow to take out melee mobs. While this is the intended outcome of this type of pathing, I disagree with the logic. putting your place in an advantageous location, like on top of castle walls, is just part of the game. In my not so humble opinion.

Here we go again!

Hehe I love all these new posts about old topics :P

I am very glad though that most people spend the time to link to the old posts rather than just saying the obligatory "Use the search function" I think it is a lot more helpful pointing to the older conversations!

Dakcenturi, have you thought about adding a section to the Wiki devoted to previously discussed topics in the forums? That way we could just point everyone to that page if we know the link is there.

Just a thought.

Good idea. I am going to dedicate some time next week to the wiki. I had to finish up a Unity app this week for a game convention starting over the weekend and then I have another obligation tonight but I will look at that!

We need to keep the list of these topical threads collected and updated in one place, so that everything doesn't have to rehashed. Those of you doing that Nihi, Valk, Andi, Dak, etc - you folks are saints!!

Yes, I've noticed a influx of new people since the KS ended, having a place to direct them to will be helpful. Actually I'm going to bookmark Dak 's Wiki now so I can copy and paste the link quickly.

I would like to see the really good analyses of particular topics also collected, I'm thinking of certain posts from Andius, etc. Note, it looks like Nihimon's Community Greetings lists, have collected some of these threads, so this would probably be the best location for any more recent threads.

If anyone wants to do some pre-work to make it faster for me to add to the wiki that is always appreciated :)

By the way, registered users can add to the wiki. There is currently one bug where once you save an edit you have to log back into the wiki (IE click the PFOFan Wiki link at the top of the screen) that I am still troubleshooting.
