Is Ns 3.0 Gonna Be An Rpg?

<div class="IPBDescription">Discuss.</div> You gain experience, but do you keep it everytime you reenter a server? Is it like an actual rpg now? Or do you only gain experience etc. every map change?

You start from scratch whenever you change maps, start a new round, or connect to a different server. Keeping your "level" from server to server, mmorpg style, wouldn't work too well. Last I checked, level 10 was the max possible; with my skill level I'll usually get to level 3-5 or so by a rounds end, while others will get to level 10 in the same amount of time. Keeping that from game to game and not being able to level up further would take the fun out of it.

If you get disconnected, you can reconnect and get your same level xp.. same as if you get disconnected as an alien in regular NS and keep your res count.

But otherwise, it resets.

You only get XP in NS:Combat, and it only lasts you about 10 minutes (the rough length of a round).

Why not give NS some (more) RPG structures.

DumbMarine · December 2003

Think of it less as an RPG and more as a DoD-style "Bite the Flag/Shoot the Flag" dealie. Levels are just a less-strategic more-deathmatchy way of getting better things.

RPG structures? You mean like a shop and a tavern?

In 3.0 it saves your res? Right now it doesn't, because whenever half our team gets steamed, they come back cursing cause of all the res they lost.

Res is saved in 2.1. I don't know about 3.0, but I hear there's a res pool now (No more wasted res when you have 100 res and you kill 33 marines with one well placed acid rocket)

No its not an RPG. Thank god.

DumbMarine · December 2003

Although if you make maps 30 times bigger and add shops and all that, it COULD be.

RFK wasn't overflowing properly and when Mr. Flay tried to fix that, res as a whole for aliens got bugged. But yes, by the release of 3.0, RFK WILL overflow, so those 100 res onos you've had the entire game can kill and genuinely support the team with RFK. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

That'd be an awesome idea. Think about it!

NS 4.0 additions / revisions:
<ul><li>Onos replaced with Moogles.
<li>Fades now have silver hair and a generic, macabre background story that nobody cares about.
<li>Catpacks replaced with gelpacks for spikey hair, the necessity for all fashion-conscious marines.
<li>Resources replaced with Mana.
<li>Nuke reintroduced, but renamed to Ultimate Fireaga - costs half of the team's Mana, cannot be used against bosses.
<li>Random battles introduced! (Woosh to loading screen! Skulk hits you with 75 damage! You attack skulk - miss!)</ul>
