Thread: Barbie time yet?

  1. #1

    Barbie time yet?

    Any possibility that after the booster and engine we can have some Barbie instead of GI Joe content?

    • A furry pet that has social emotes and maybe we can interact with, using emotes, to pet it, have it on our lap, et cetera.
    • Clothes, some of the designs are great but being able to over-ride the colours would be neat.
    • Furniture for the apartments that has collision detection and how about a bed?
    • When can we finally give out keys for our apartments to our friends so that we can have a hang out?
    • A bigger apartment with a garden would be good too.
    • Make up and changing hair, what better way to show off the new engine with a few new face tools, textures and meshes?
    • Face tattoos.
    • Earings!
    • Necklaces that are social and visible.
    • Big fat rings with huge diamond engagement rings.
    • Option to turn on food requirements, so that we have to stock and chose food. A fridge that works.
    • Cooking skills might be fun.
    • Brewing our own drinks.
    • Being able to write in game a note or use a display device and share it with people. Example an introduction screen at the door of the apartment.
    • Role playing biographies.
    • Leet pets where we get to chose their cloths.
    • Dare I say, tools to create custom heads and social clothing meshes? (Obviously there will be default underwear or something, sorry boys.)
    • --- added :
    • Facial emotes, expressions of boredom (during afk), looking around, et cetera.
    • /book emote actually having a book, newspaper or martial artists scrap pad with a loop, so people know why we are afk.
    • /tvfm emote where you have to be sitting and a little device with big antenae and a little screen is in front of you. (Another mostly afk emote.)
    • New dance emotes.
    • Synronised dancing. "You have been invited to dance pulp with Genericname. Do you accept yes / no?" Then it fires off yes synchronised.
    • Dancing together, Rumba, Sumba, Meringe, Foxtrot, et cetera. Even just down and dirty. They get an invite, then co-ords lock and emotes fire.
    • Visiable wrist items, Sandy Piece of Goo, Bangles, Energy Wrist Rings, Reflect Bracers, then maybe some "Shredder" and "Spiky Punk" looking things .

        Also I would like to see Casino's. And since we have hoverboards how about some kind of skate part, other then the Borealis dish.
      • Shorts {and mini skirts for Atroxes and} men that doesn't show their religion.

    Cute as it may be, this is a Sci-Fi warish game; and I doubt there is a huge audience waiting for this And we have the leet already as our furry mascot
    how about a bed?
    When can we finally give out keys for our apartments to our friends so that we can have a hang out?
    Oooh... these would be kinda cool
    A bigger apartment with a garden would be good too.
    The soil in RK sucks. The cities in RK are sparse and you can tell it's humanity-versus-nature when you see how they're built (right on top of deserts etc). I can't see a garden happening, but bigger apartments would be awesome; anything to encourage the usefulness of the apartment.
    Make up and changing hair, what better way to show off the new engine with a few new face tools, textures and meshes?
    Face tattoos.
    Earings!
    This isn't Second Life, as you said. Let's not make it that way.
    Necklaces that are social and visible.
    OK - I could kill for visible neck slots. Some necklaces wouldn't be too bad either, but broaden the range of styles so it isn't just gold chains and stuff
    Option to turn on food requirements, so that we have to stock and chose food. A fridge that works.
    Cooking skills might be fun.
    Brewing our own drinks.
    We don't need cooking skills. We don't need drinking skills. We don't need skills that we can't use to further our character development. Cool in theory, but not for AO.

    Role playing biographies.
    Helpbot (used to?) has a "quest" that if you bring him in /tell a certain item he'd let you write a bio for your character. I remember doing this on an old keeper and got a couple tells asking how I did it /tell Helpbot

    OK on further poking he doesn't have this anymore. Shame... ;/

    Dare I say, tools to create custom heads and social clothing meshes? (Obviously there will be default underwear or something, sorry boys.)
    Oh man - if you want a hint of why this shouldn't be an option, look at complaints about Spore.

    How many long pink monsters are there in Sims 2? Check out the character creation tool, it is very neat.

    Furry pets ftw. I want a rollerrat, they scare away the advies. the roleplay character info would be awesome. Tarryk has a post about that somewhere, like 6 years old by now. And apartment keys would be nice, even with team invites getting peeps into your apartment is severely buggy. Hope a key helps. YES I"D LOVE TO SIT ON MY SOFA INSTEAD OF THROUGH IT! ((oddly enough I've noticed some items have some degree of collision detection. Palm tree thing nd the mini fridge have like a tiny dot of a solid object.

    A number of these things would fall into the "only after the devs ironed out everything there is to look into and are bored as hell since have nothing left to do" level stuff, but a few things I sorta like:

    - More emotes/capabilities of pets. Also, someone mentioned a rollerrat pet, I find those critters quite funny.
    - Apartment furniture with collision.
    - Reworked, somewhat bigger apartments. Or maybe the normal ones you can get now would remain as is, but you could in fact rent, for a monthly credit fee, a bigger and better looking one besides it.
    - Ingame changeable makeup, hairstyle, face tattoos (while keeping the same face ofc).
    - Visible neck items (and fixed sided token boards so that they in fact show up on the shoulders at the correct location, as you can see them until the first zoning after unequipping/reequipping but floating mid-air above your character).
    - Ingame scripting/note-writing tool that allows you to create clickable links that open up the info window with your custom formatted text in it to be posted on the chat system, or just make some notes for yourself (I know, pencil and paper works too for this, but still).
    - Player bios attached to the char info you get when looking at someone (shift-LClick or pressing 'T'). Would have to be reviewed by ARK or someone, rudeness (even in concealed form) and non-English text being rejected.

    An AFK emote or two could be very usefull.

    I've written several threads about apartment love, I honestly think that they could be much better than they are.

    How about a computer in the apartement where you can roll missions from (somehow different from normal missions), an occasionally get "emails" from NPCs containing special missions. Come to think of it, you could also send emails to friends form this computer, mabey even use it as the postal service that has been suggested several times on this forum.

    Also, the ability to write a note and give it to other players would be great, especially for RPing agents :P

    That is an incredible amount of stuff you're asking. I doubt you'll ever see that unless they delay the engine release date again for weeks.

    Asking that it goes in for consideration to be developed after the boosters and the engine. No more boosters or expansions, please, until we get some more prettiness. I really believe with the number of female players on the rise, we could corner a good portion of those players if we were more girl friendly.

    Girl friendly? Last I checked it already is. Now, girly girl who cant live without frills and lace and pink ribbons and still plays with Barbie dolls when she's 20... well, no, a Sci-Fi MMO doesn't; and shouldn't, cater to that.

    While I admit that some of these ideas would be nice, they are not detrimental to the theme, idea, or (most) peoples enjoyment of the game. Like it or not this game is about fighting and killing and gaining levels etc, it's not about dress me up time and go see my bf who never calls.

    And as a girl myself, I prefer AO as is. If I want to play with dolls I'll go babysit my 3 yr old niece.

    Simple question, since I think you are responding too much to the catch phrase of the title. Do you role-play? You know in this supposedly Massive Multi-Player Role-Playing Game?

    Oh, and I do hope that those ideas listed will be chosen for implementation or discarded with each being weighed on its own merits in enhancing and not changing nor extending this game.

    Do you know that 'role-playing' doesn't have to be "Those Clan terrorists, they bombed my neighbors house". Role-playing, as it were, can simply consist of me, playing the role of my toon. What does a toon like my Agent want to do? Level, run around under peoples feet, chat with friends. The personality of my Agent is my own, it's not something new I created or some alteration. But when I log in I am playing my Agent, I am my Agent; and thus the role of my Agent is to be me.

    Role-playing is such an ambiguous term, and is not limited to following a story like you're playing a book.

    I think some people would do well to learn(remember) that. (Not directly related to thread)

    As for enhancing gameplay; that depends on what people expect, want, and are willing to wait/pay for. If we don't want to wait months for a patch/booster that is mostly only social items it won't enhance anything for us. And it's quite a safe bet to say that 'us' would be a large majority.

    I used to buy legos for my kids so I could play with them. And we played together with Barbie dolls when I was not 20 but over 30.
    Being someone that doesnt care for "lace and ribbons" doesnt make you any better than those that do - just different. Scorning at someone thats different only shows your lack of maturity and understanding.

    So get off that high SCI-FI horse and allow other people (even girls) to have other ideas about what they would like to see in AO and even express them. Not like FC will listen to them anyway.
