I'm not the best person to answer this as I don't do the game content, just the mechanics. My guess is that we wouldn't see much zombie specific stuff in zOMG unless it becomes a really big part of the whole site storyline.
Awe, thank you!
Sadly, I'm not familiar with Kanoko, I'll have to get back to reading the site manga. As far as the ice-cream ring.. probably not. wink
I think some do, because they use the same monster type. Others don't because they're specialized. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but bron / qix would be better to answer this one. If the name is the same, and they have the same attacks / speed / range / etc. Then there is a good chance it's going towards the same badge count.
1. I was wondering if crewing could be incorporated more into the game? A lot of people really do just want to play alone, but others I think aren't introduced to the concept enough. Sometimes zOMG! seems like its aware it's an MMO, other times you're meant to think you're the only one. Perhaps crewing could be written into the quest dialogue? For harder quests, the NPC could literally suggest you find some other Gaian's to help. Just to get people to start using it early and often.
2. I know Qixter has mentioned making crewing easier, and I wanted to add my own suggestion. An auto pairing system. Along with the NPC mentioning crewing, perhaps you could choose to automatically crew with others in the area on the same quest. It could enter you into a waiting line with others who also chose this option and then automatically form the crew. It could also be an option in the recrewting panel, perhaps with categories. Such as farming, questing, mini events, ect. It doesn't need to be exact, but a system to quickly form like-minded crews and take the guest work out of it. Is this on the table?
1. Some people do want to solo, others only like to be in crews. IMO we should provide the ability for people to crew, but not make it required. I don't want to FORCE people to be social, it would just be awkward. We do force people to join a crew to get to the end boss. wink
2. We have some work ahead of us to get crewing up to where it should be. Simply having a 'friends list' in the game would be nice. It's not done yet. wink
It's a thread I made, detailing some ideas about how to make some rings more enticing, as well as some general boss feedback and some ideas for Chapter 2 (I'm getting in early). >.<
Sadly, I don't spend much time in the forums. Usually people have to post a comment on my profile to get my attention. wink I'll go look at the thread after I finish with these replies.
like there is for events and so on
/me deflects question to Bronstahd / Qixter.
I don't remember what started it, but I like it. It makes the world feel more alive.
:-X Like Airshark? I'm not sure. /me deflects question to the designers.
Again -- deflecting. wink I'm not sure, this is a design thing, not a mechanical thing.
Seems I did a lot of question deflection today. wink Hopefully one of the designers will come by and pick up the slack.
Cheers,
Halzy
