Voltex Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Alright, first: I'll need another filler after this post if nobody responds, since I think this should be given separate attention before we're distracted by the round. Some NotesTake a look at the first post of this topic - it's huge. It's color-coded according to updates. There are so many game types and arenas that we will never use them all, especially if we continue to add more in the updates to come. I don't want to just delete a bunch of stuff, since hard work and lots of time has gone into everything; but the fact remains that as far as content goes, Bionifight Ultimate is rapidly growing too big (It's better than losing activity, but it still must be corrected). So I had a couple ideas on how to deal with this. Idea #1My least favorite idea; I remove a bunch of arenas and game types permanently and we slow down on the updates. While this means we lose a lot of content, it means players would only have to worry about keeping up with one topic each round, allowing for the pace of the game to remain unchanged. Idea #2I start up another Bionifight game to run alongside this one; this topic would remain focused on the "free-for-all" game types, while the new topic would be focused on "team based" game types; any arenas best suited towards these team games would automatically be moved over to the new topic, and a couple new arenas might be added. The Team Update would largely be assimilated into the new game alongside any other team-based activities. Idea #3I start up another Bionifight game to run alongside this one, but this new game would be more along the lines of “Classic” Bionifight. As such, most (or all) of the Respawn Update would become assimilated into the new game and removed from the current topic, alongside whatever arenas work best in those game types. I’ll leave it up to you all to decide; if we implement Idea #2 or Idea #3, the first active signup cycle (3 rounds) would be sort of a “test-run” to see if activity in both topics could remain at a good pace. Keep in mind that the old Bionifight was labelled as an RPG after Bionifight 4’s closing, so I would have to check in with Windrider to get approval for Idea #3. Should the test-run fail and activity fall in both, I’ll close the new topic and re-introduce as much stuff from it back into the old topic as possible.

JiMing Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) I'm leaning towards Idea 3. One can be a more casual game filled with lots of crazy violence, and the other can be a more competitive topic. Just my two cents though. EDIT: Just thought of something, will our profiles be the same between the two? Edited March 22, 2014 by JiMing Haven't seen one of these in a long time...

Ehksidian Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I like idea 3, and the best way to make it not an RPG is possibly implement a point system, where you do damage and get "points", and whoever gets to x amount of points wins that round.

Shadowhawk Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Eh... personally, I'd greatly prefer keeping everything in one topic. One game, even if it means cutting out a bunch of stuff. And I do think the updates should be drastically reduced in frequency. Like, one update every three to four months, or something like that. But anyways, bottom line... I'm standing with Option #1.

We're getting too much content to conceivably ever use. The multi-topic options would help with that, alongside a limit of one update per month.

Voltex Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm waiting to start Round 10 until everyone has shared their opinion on the issue at hand; if it's Option 1 that is chosen I'll slowly put it into effect this week, but if it's Option 2 or Option 3 I'll wait a week or two before pulling the switch.

EDIT: Just thought of something, will our profiles be the same between the two? For the most part, they can be. Ultimate Weapons won't carry over, but Special Weapons 2.0 could be reverted to old-fashioned Special Weapons in the case of Option 3. Option 2, they'd be exactly the same.

Samus Aran-Bounty Hunter Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 OOC: I myself am leaning towards either option 2 or 3 for a couple of reasons. One being that tada, we can now perhaps have a few more players, as there may be people who only play one version over the other,and Two being that more Bionifight is always better than less Bionifight.

(Daedalus) Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I know I haven't actually played this, so feel free to disregard my post. Still, I'd like to state my view on the matter. 1 and 2 seem to be the better options to me, with 1 being my personal preference. Unless I'm just completely misunderstanding things, 3 doesn't seem like it would solve the problem, as there would still be a lot of content left over. 2 would essentially split the game in two, which I think would work pretty well. 1 is my own preference for reasons similar to Voxumo. It would be easier to only have to keep track of only one topic, but then again, I'm a little lazy.

There is a reason Chro, ehks, blade and I did a small update.. We knew the risks when we started it and we willingly took it. All four of us realize our update may not even make it into the game and we are fine with that. Yeah it will be disappointing but it was a risk we are willing to take.

JiMing Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I'm just going to say that everything mediocre was already removed from the Respawn update and likely the Team Update. What more do you want? If we shipped the content off to another game, you don't need to play it. We all willingly joined this game, and you can choose not to join a side game.You need to understand that I'm proud of my work. I don't want it to be removed further after so many ideas were cut. And whether I like Voxumo's update or not is something I will decide, as well as completely irrelevant to this debate. Edited March 23, 2014 by JiMing Haven't seen one of these in a long time...

We can do 15 players this time around.Signups closed<3. Thank you! Personally, I prefer idea 1 over idea 2 and 3. I'm sure that not everything will be removed, nor do I think that it'd instantly prevent players from playing gametype that exists but have been wiped from the topic itself.
