Will the karma system be introduced at last?/ General Talk

[Fenimore Valens]

To the battle system team:
Will that karma system be introduced with the release of battle? Also Our weapons are they going to be used with the game along with the rings? 'm wondering about this clan business... Another thing that has caught my train of thought will we be able to Fight each other as in an arena-type thing or something?

To all the gaians: What do you think the system is going to be like?
What do you think the other rings are going to be?

[Lumint]

None of these things are clear yet but the first release will not have pvp it will be included later.

[Fenimore Valens]

Yeah you got a point there... also I'm exploring the other sybjects I posted s well to start debates and stuff.

Q- Will that karma system be introduced with the release of battle?
A-Seems kind of strange, how would they determine what's good or bad?

Q- Also, are our weapons are they going to be used with the game along with the rings?
A-No. They will not.

Q- I'm wondering about this clan business...
A-Be more specific, but most all details are still sketchy.

Q- Will we be able to Fight each other as in an arena-type thing or something?
A- There will be some form of PvP eventually, but no one really knows and the Devs aren't talking about very much.

The Gaia Battle System will probably be like a more violent version of Towns with lots of rather pretty looking attacks. I think the other rings will just be souped up and tricked out and modifed and reorganized versions of the starter rings.

[Oak Berbark]

[Lord Fates]

Umm sorry but...... karma system? What the frak is that supposed to be, some kind of reputation gauge for how much others like you or something?

[Syaoran Moeroo]

Oh god I hope they don't put a 'karma' system in, the whole good/evil idea is purely based off of the popular thought on such an idea

[Pictures-Fade]

I don't know about the karma system.
Uhm, >>; Read the stickies?! I mean they've said over and over that you won't use weapons. Just rings.
I'm guessing clans will be just groups of people playing together. They've mentioned a PvP feature but not with the release of the BS.

[Commander Gear Dizzy]

since were all using rings does that mean we'll all be like mages or something? or will they make melee type rings?

@ Pictures Fade~ Actually this clan concept makes the MMO quite feasible.

As for the game theory of a *Karma System* :
SAKPS: Server Admins Karma Priority System (gaming)

This is an automatic system to rate the proper (or unproper) behavior of players.

A new player starts at 50 karma points. The maximum score is 100. When you finish a game successfully, you earn 1 Karma point. If you are the first player to quit a game on purpose (ie: to quit without resuming), you lose 5 points as a punishment.

Dots divide Karma into 5 levels:

* 0-19: *
* 20-39: **
* 40-59: ***
* 60-79: ****
* 80-100: *****

You may specify a minimum level of Karma when creating a new game.

Note that you cannot ask for a Karma level that would be higher than your own level.

The karma system that I know of was mentioned in context with the rare items - the more you donated gold to other people, the more random events you got (if I remember correctly). I dunno if they're using it for the BS (or how they'd implement it if they were - maybe for critical strikes or something).

My two cents on the other points have already been covered by other people ^.^

[Redotiso]

The Karma system I'm familiar with is the one that deals with PKers. If some one PKed they racked up karma points, consequently if they happened to die, they are thrown into prison. <.< I sure hope that Gaia will never place THAT Karma system in the Battle System.

[Iceketch]

eheh the karma system is a super secret project Gaia had in the plans,
it was something related to the rare event too, but I don't know how it ended,
or if it was junked or anything.
