PvP?

[Sproth]

Hi im new to Huxley but it looks very very fun.. I play alot of FPS like CS 1.6 CS source, Half Life, UT2003, UT 2004, Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2. and im pretty decent at most FPS.

However I recently quit WoW and am looking for a fun MMO game. WoW takes no skill to play and while I played WoW I got into PvP majorly.

So what I want to know is... is Huxley going to be a PvP(player vs player?) game? Or will you just have to grind mobs to lvl up? I saw that there will be instanced pvp combat but Im hoping that there is alot of PvP regardless between the alternatives and Species.

?

Research is your friend. There is already a lot of information around, much of it on this site if you take the time to look.

To answer your question though, it will be a PvP game but with a strong PvE element included. PvE and PvP have seperate progression mechanisms, if you only PvE eventually you will hit a brick wall. To develop yourself fully you need to be blowing holes in some real people.

Take a look here; an article that concentrates on the PvE but does suggest certain things about the balance between the two aspects. http://www.huxleygame.com/huxley_preview_gamespy01.htm

or you could just be friendly and awnser the man.

Huxley will be alot of PvP

to gain xp you can:
PvP
PvNPC
and Quest

They all give xp.
I can allso tell you that the XP won't give you Stamina or stuff like in WoW they give you talent points (or what ever they are called)
You use them to gain new stuff like 3 points = Shotgun weapons or better armor or stuff like that. but a level 20 has the same Hp as a level 1 which is what makes it so interesting ^^

Hmm ok, thought i did. I even provided a link to an example of what they have in mind for the character progression. Whatever, Wasnt trying to be unfriendly, I just wanted to point out that most of what 'is' known about the game is already on this site somewhere.

[77Hawk77]

easyer to say it agien then give it link ^^ did'n read all your post tho sorry

[CTU24]

MOSTLY PVP u know why cause PVP is AWSOME!!! btw i think MMOFPS's are the new generation cause umm PVP is awsome if u like playing PVE only then....no coment..

[Sproth]

Sweet!!! Dont worry I didnt take your post as unfriendly and I did try to do some research but I couldnt find much.

I love PvP

And yes I agree MMOFPS is the next generation of games, mainly becuase in MMOFPS pvp you HAVE to have skill to survive!

[CTU24]

Its nice that u agree with me

[CONQUEROR 45]

I think Huxley will mostly be based on the PvP experince.

[CTU24]

If its not which ur probaly right it will be mostly PVP then thers no point of buying the game in my opinion

[77Hawk77]

yeah but you get xp from Quests and NPC kills

[CTU24]

And why cant u get XP killing real people in fact (not to come so hard on u but...) its WAYYY more fun killing a person who can actually think then kill a robot who is controled to certain limitations its going the easy way killin NPC i like the hard and real way

Err you do get "xp" of a different sort from PvP, there are two seperate progression systems, one for pve one for pvp. You gain stuff in one or both depending what you spend your time doing. Only PvE and you wont be getting and PvP rewards and vice versa.

as that other fella you do get xp from pvp but other kind. i guess it's gonna be like WoW Honour. Anyways what does levels mean if you can beat a level 50 as level 1 then i am just gona be a regular soldier in level 10 and pwn people ^^

[CTU24]

I was making a point across all MMOs would u rather play against a computer or a real person who can think

[Felix12g]

Real people suck. Computers can be programmed to get better and make it harder. Killing the same dumbass that doesn't know what end of the gun the bang comes from isn't the best experience.

As for staying at level 10 and owning noobs, well if that's what floats your boat go for it. Personally I like some challenge in my games.

[CTU24]

Hahahahaahah thats funny or were u serious? Cause AI you can EASILY EASILY tell what there thinking ive played every FPS on the hardest lvl i could and it is just tooo simple still i dont know what ur talking about i mean dumbasses usually learn that there being dumb and fix tehre problems AI just does 10 different things and you can easily break it i mean i dont know about you but i want a challenge in my games as well i dont want to kill a simple more stupid then ppl computer ppl think for them selves computers do what there told its really just a big bore. If u want PVE go play WOW and see how boring that is i mean u want to be killing the same thing the same computer the same mind over and over and over and over ppl like that KNOW they cant defeat a real person even if there stupid so they do PVE but im saying with Huxley it is good to have both and not just PvE cause that would really really bite its like playing with a ball u know its gonna role back so u throw it against a wall and just like that comes back to u

[Felix12g]

Actually I was completely serious. Game developers make the AIs of npcs they way they do because it wouldn't and isnt fun to play against an AI that doesn't have alot of restrictions put on it. (Or simply parts being left out)

It would be exceedingly easy to program an AI to go after the highest value weapon (Usually a nuke or sniper rifle) and have a path node up to a vantage point overlooking a spawn area. After that, instead of putting in a massive delay for target aquisition and a heavy penalty of accuracy as well as where the AI aims, make the AI actually shoot straight and at normal speed (For it).

What you get? An ai that will grab a sniper rifle or a redeemer, sit above where you snipe and a few milliseconds after you spawn take you out with a nuke or a headshot. Your reaction times and computer lag wouldn't even register that you were alive long enough to move.

Get my drift? AIs are generall stupid yes, but like I said, they can easily be made to be more difficult, decision trees aside. I'm not even going to ask which fps' you've tried on their hardest.

[CTU24]

Im srry i dont get ur drift not to be a complete ass or anything i just dont get it. You said it ur self AI is usualy stupid so dont have AI have real ppl right i know where ur coming from im just saying straight up which one would u rather have if u HAD to choose PVP or PVE now Huxley does a nice job of spreading them both out equally using one for advantages as the otehr thats what i like but i would like to see more PVP play than everyone doing PVE and the battlefields empty except for 3 guys a mile away and me with no ride lol

[Silenoz666]

But you see, that's the good thing, we probably won't have to choose PvP-only or PvE-only.

Personally, I wouldn't play it if EITHER component was left out. PvP is fun, but quests and storyline is just as much fun for me.

And if you still don't get Felix12g's drift....I'm not even going to try. I highly doubt you destroy the computer on the highest difficulty on every FPS, but whatever. I'd say more, but it's nearly impossible to decipher what the hell you are saying.
