Hard Coded Vs Soft Coded Teams Discussion

[Giovanni]

How do we handle creating spies and leveling multiple chars on each team? Sullon zek had one char per account and a subscription cost which limited the spies.

With all due respect, the deals done is it not? If we're doing this by a majority, it's obviously hard coded. Seemingly the only people pushing otherwise have ulterior motives in mind. We should now try and refine what "teams" means because it seems the GMs are willing to do something custom/not classic and it'd be nice to see the community not fuck this up for once with anger and pizza sauce all over their keyboards.

My vote is for diety-based teams. Not necessarily SZ's ruleset but definitely diety-based.

Spies are a given. There will be no handling that, they will simply be a part of the server. They can't be limited or controlled in any way. It's just not possible.

the thing is, hard code/soft code debate --> cross-teaming debate, cross teaming discussion --> single char per IP/mac in order to not cross team. seeeeeeeee my post was on topic! server rules cannot be discussed in a vacuum!

- 5+ months in there will be no mass pvp. The only pvp will be people who roll chars on the side with the less people knowing they will have alot of targets to gank. Those pvp fights will be gank, zone, log type of fights.

so in 5+ months the pvp will be like red99.

0masss pvp and dead as fuck?

no1 wants to pick a faction at character select screen, people want to fight good vs evil.

that was the fun thing about teams, might as well make it FFA if any class/race combo can be on a team.

New sig for great justice. Here's the thing about the lopsided hard code vs. soft code poll. There's a lot of Sullon Zek alumni on these boards. It was a very hardcore ruleset, and people who subject themselves to those types of extremes tend to still be around 11 years later trying to get an elf simulator to take them back to that experience.

But here's the thing about all the vocal Sullon Zek fans. YOU'RE ALREADY HERE. P99 doesn't need to cater to your expectations because you're already here and, despite any protestations you may make on these boards, you are not going anywhere. The devs don't have to worry about losing the 100 neckbeards who play PvP here regularly. What they have to worry about are the 100s of potential other players who lurk but don't post on these boards constantly.

History has shown that Race War was a vastly superior ruleset to SZ. If you build it, they will come devs.

Did not play on either VZ, TZ, or SZ on live. Still voted hard-coded, because soft-coding seems lame in every instance I've read about it. There is no lurking pool of soft-coded fans out there avoiding this poll: hard-coded wins by a landslide.

However, I'm open to any of the team arrangements. Race war or diety, I don't particularly care as long as there's some meaning to your team choice.

Lets pretend last month there wasn't mass pvp over VS multiple times 60+ in attendance and fights over trakanon every 3 days with 50-60+ in the zone every time. Definitely wasn't smaller skirmishes over dracho and talendor also.

Keep spinning that propaganda tho, champ.
