    hearing underworld suggestion was brilliant honestly... sets the pvp and evil vs good alliances up already of course neither could really be good but its a really good start

     

    oh heck ya  add zombies then throw in humans as the neutral prey lol

  • ctshamectshame Member Posts: 104

    id hope theyd make a cirqu du freak kind of vampire game

    and have the two waring vampire factions

    itd set it up perfectly for two different alliances

    and you can have humans as a race as well for the vampire hunters

    throwing in the third faction to try to help balance things out.

    But hey thats just what i think.

    lol

    Also there already is a vampire mmorpg, it sucks compared to todays standards graphically and had a crazy amount of hackers and etc it was call Dark Eden.

    It sucked but its the only one  that ive ever seen its a shame.

    Theres so many untest genres that no one has tried to venture into.

    I say they should and make a whole new batch of mmos instead of the same old same old.

    /Use Bite Attack

    lol thats pretty much all dark eden was lol

    that and speed hacks

    cirqu du freak vampires use wepons tho

    so itd kinda be like a regular mmo weapon wise.

    Except the vampires in that werent aloud to use ranged weapons besides stuff you could throw.

    the humans however could use crossbows and etc because they werent as strong as the vampires and vampeneze

    I would play a mmo with vampires, lycans, and humans all fighting against eachother. Seems like it would naturally fit as three way RvR. Vampires and lycans trying to kill eachother and the humans trying to stop the inhuman menace. Also could probably make it so the lycan and vampires could try and just act human and get by on stealth alone. Would really give a sense of not knowing who to trust, and if you are being hunted or not.

    Just to clarify, Twilight is not "vampires for women". It's a poorly written dream journal for pre-pubescent tween idiots about faerie-folk(look it up) which have been mistakenly labeled "vampires" by a writer that even Stephen King of all people thinks is sub-par.

    Dracula(be it Bram's, Lugosi's or the actual Impaler),Nicholas Knight, Angel, Spike, Vampire Hunter D, Alucard(Castlevania SotN), the males from Underworld(specifically the lycans) and more than half of the clans from Vampire: The Masquerade appeal to women. I used to play Masquerade tabletop in many different groups and the female players far outnumbered the males.

    Enter CCP. World of Darkness may be an unknown quantity as an mmo as yet but it is based on the Masquerade, which Underworld was based on, and will likely include the wolves(the superior creature as far as this male and his wife are concerned).

    In a nutshell, the author is wrong, and seriously stuck in an age of stereotype marketing that is 20 years passed(Once Bitten).

    what about CCP's World of Darkness game ? Is it just a pc game or is it gonna be a mmo, which i heard it was

    I know you're trying to troll, but honestly, I agree. This was pretty close to the bottom of my "why not" barrel for now ;)

    ...I'm likely going to adopt a new premise in the coming weeks.

    Anyone got any suggestions? ;)

    Dude, some of these have been pretty interesting discussions.

    The survival horror thread, in particular.

     

    Right, but eventually, you need to take a break from a topic before the barrel is completely empty. Just time for a different slant, I think.

    I did earn myself some haters, so I must be doing something right ;)

    Yeah I wonder how CCP is going to pull off WoD.  Ive been a long fan of the PnP game and can't wait for it to release.  I like the V:TM lore for vampires the most anyways.  Im sure they will do an amazing job, I think EvE is an amazing game its just I cant handle being a ship all day. Im not much of  Space kinda guy. I like the PA setting and Vampires a ton though.

  • grunt187grunt187 Member CommonPosts: 956

    LMAO a highlander mmo would be awsome

    pvp would be like this- kill  a noob then they have to reroll because there can be only one

    as far as a vamp mmo as long as i can be a  vamp hunter all would be good

    The following statement is false
    The previous statement is true

  • googajoob7googajoob7 Member Posts: 866

    i remember a game called legacy of kain that had an interesting concept which might transfer well into an mmo .

  • SimplyMonkSimplyMonk Member Posts: 10

    If I remember correctly, Horizons in its design phases was playing around with the idea that they would have a Vampire race that would just look like the normal human race. I'm sure this got killed, along with most of the uniqueness that Horizons had planned besides the "YOU CAN BE A DRAGON!!!", due to budgets and lack of a good implementation.

    I miss the game Horizons thought it would be. Lizard people that get faster or slower depending on the weather. A insect race that were the only ones to have a global chat due to the hive mind. Vampires that could mimic being just a normal human. Angels, demons, Merfolk... all playable races. So many good ideas and no follow through.

    Keep with the "why nots" they're nice and make people think for a change.

    The greatest idea here was the whole divergent quest idea, which really would work with any mmo genre and be freaking AWSOME.

    All in all good read

    Edit: And i think we can all agree that twilight was a badly written book with a cliche story and charecters, cept Alice who was cool

    Oh I do agree. I can't stand Twilight. i watched it once to give it a chance. There is just way too much stupidity in it for me to even take it serious. 

     

    "We have to go 200 miles from civilization into the mountains to play baseball. Even then we have to go during a thunderstorm because we hit the ball so hard that people would still hear us. And to hit the ball? We have this magical wooden bat that never breaks under such force."

     

    Little stupid things like this the whole damn movie. I can deal with Harry Potter. Spiderwick was ok for what it was. But when I see grown ups swoon over non-sense, makes no sense movies, I am stumped. Why is this crap so popular?

    That...and essentially they merged vampires with danielle steel to make a vampire/rebel without a cause-hybrid.  Very popular with young girls.

    I don't think the vampire fad is still in ascendancy. I would say it's peaked and in decline - something akin to the Jonas Brothers. If someone had been able to release a game this year or even next, it could still cash in on the craze, but that window is closing fast. All the same, when/if CCP does something with World of Darkness, I'll be all over it. As long as there is a chance that it will have some of the magic of V:TM - Bloodlines.

     It''s called World of Darkness.  Purchased by CCP.  Thank god a company that has some balls that will actually do something innovative purchased the IP.

     

    Werewolves(the cool badass kind), Vampires, Changlings, Mages... lots of fun to be had.  Add into it all the source material with the different clans and factions and its ripe for an outstanding PvP game.
