LE 3.0 Update thread

Billgar · LE 3.0 Update thread

Though the physical construction of LE 3.0 is far from commencing, as it stands right now it is still in the conceptualization stage. Since the introduction of the idea there have been some changes to how things will be revised.

In about 3 weeks time, a developers blog will be set up to give you updates regularly on the progress of this new fantastic system.

Though said before that members would retain all items that they have in game, this will unfortunately change. As the design team moves into the project with a bit more depth, we have come to realize that the entire system needs to be restructed from the way that enemies and summons are presented to the ways that classes function.

At the moment with a few exceptions, all the classes are identical. They share the same armor sets, and most can use all other forms of weapons. In addition classes are not specialized enough to give incentive to explore new and interesting pathways.

In 3.0 the number of classes will be dramatically reduced from the current. But much for the better. As stated in the initial concept release, the new system will be experienced based. This will result inevitably as the damage being done being directly affected by level. In addition magic classes will have an array of spells at their disposal.

These core classes that will be created are already in the works of being flushed out schematically. Know that they will be unique from anything you have seem before, and be excited.

Also just a reminder. You will be fully compensated for all items that you lose during the transition, in a combination fo experience points and GC.

Who is this design "team" that you speak of? Other then that it sounds like this project is coming along nicely. Let me know if you need anything beta tested, like balance issues between classes/ and or enemies, or checking faqs and such.

Billgar

there will undoubtably be tons of stuf that requires check throughs and betas. When I start in on it all this summer, I will give you some access as it relates to your major, and by design team, i mean E-T-H as an illustrator for a greator portion of things, excluding summons. The Visuals will be alot tighter in the new version.

That is good news. Also my term officially ends tomorrow. So just let me know whenever you need something.

Billgar

Ive still got two weeks and a portfolio left....

BUT remember that you are the one that volunteered for that.

What coding languages do you know? Web or otherwise?

Lord_Obagon

I have a basic understanding of C++, XHTML, Actionscript and I don't count HTML as programming.
I have yet to use java, but one can quickly learn anything from tutorials.

Also on another note, I might be helping the head of Becker's Game Dev. Department in making a class for Senior year.

I'm not on much.... anymore.... once AP tests past I'll pour effort into getting back here.

I'll help with anything as well. I am not much of a programmer, but I'll help with whatever I can when possible, if you need it.

Billgar

Bean, I appreciate it, but where you will be needed in late 2010/early 2011 will be in moderating!/GMing. Anticipate it. Also you guys are free to keep this site alive, but as I press forward with version 3.0 my involvement will dwindle. Though Ill still check in all the time to see whats going on.

@@ History examines the manifestations of man's free will in connection with the external world in time and in dependence on cause, that is, it defines this freedom by the laws of reason, and so history is a science only in so far as this free will is defined by those laws.

@@The recognition of man's free will as something capable of influencing historical events, that is, as not subject to laws, is the same for history as the recognition of a free force moving the heavenly bodies would be for astronomy.
@@That assumption would destroy the possibility of the existence of laws, that is, of any science whatever. If there is even a single body moving freely, then the laws of Kepler and Newton are negatived and no conception of the movement of the heavenly bodies any longer exists. If any single action is due to free will, then not a single historical law can exist, nor any conception of historical events.

@@For history, lines exist of the movement of human wills, one end of which is hidden in the unknown but at the other end of which a consciousness of man's will in the present moves in space, time, and dependence on cause.
@@The more this field of motion spreads out before our eyes, the more evident are the laws of that movement. To discover and define those laws is the problem of history.

@@From the standpoint from which the science of history now regards its subject on the path it now follows, seeking the causes of events in man's freewill, a scientific enunciation of those laws is impossible, for however man's free will may be restricted, as soon as we recognize it as a force not subject to law, the existence of law becomes impossible.

@@Only by reducing this element of free will to the infinitesimal, that is, by regarding it as an infinitely small quantity, can we convince ourselves of the absolute inaccessibility of the causes, and then instead of seeking causes, history will take the discovery of laws as its problem.

@@The search for these laws has long been begun and the new methods of thought which history must adopt are being worked out simultaneously with the self-destruction toward which- ever dissecting and dissecting the causes of phenomena- the old method of history is moving.

@@All human sciences have traveled along that path. Arriving at infinitesimals, mathematics, the most exact of sciences, abandons the process of analysis and enters on the new process of the integration of unknown, infinitely small, quantities. Abandoning the conception of cause, mathematics seeks law, that is, the property common to all unknown, infinitely small, elements.
@@In another form but along the same path of reflection the other sciences have proceeded. When Newton enunciated the law of gravity he did not say that the sun or the earth had a property of attraction; he said that all bodies from the largest to the smallest have the property of attracting one another, that is, leaving aside the question of the cause of the movement of the bodies, he expressed the property common to all bodies from the infinitely large to the infinitely small. The same is done by the natural sciences: leaving aside the question of cause, they seek for laws. History stands on the same path. And if history has for its object the study of the movement of the nations and of humanity and not the narration of episodes in the lives of individuals, it too, setting aside the conception of cause, should seek the laws common to all the inseparably interconnected infinitesimal elements of free will.
