Ashes of Creation Roleplay

Building on the idea of the awesome first RP wishlist thread, we'd like to gather together ideas to present cohesively on the official forums—so that the ideas and suggestions of AoCRP aren't scattered around, repeated, and so-on.

To take some ideas from the last thread:

• Chat bubbles over a character's head that last long enough to read.
• Custom emotes. (I.E. /me, /e, /em commands)
• A toggle-able RP flag or status, for easy identification of other RPers.
• A decent character limit on posts that allow for a comfortable amount of text to be written when roleplaying.

We'd like to hear what else you might have in mind!

Additions!

• Editable UI that includes the ability to turn channels of text on and off in different windows for ease of use. (Examples: Hiding whispers, hiding guild chat, etc.)
• Dice chat command (with ability to add modifiers).
• Camera feature/posing feature and filters for taking screenshots!
• Ability to lean on walls.
• (Addition of my own) Idle stances and alternate emotes tied to them, something similar to the Personality system in ES:O.

-Editable UI that includes the ability to turn channels of text on and off in different windows for ease of use when we want to just see /say and emotes and such.

-A Dicebag function that includes d4, d6, d8, d10, d20, and d100 that when you roll one you add your ability modifier to it. Say a Kaelar and a Ren'Kai are armwrestling inside a tavern. Both would roll a d20, add their strength modifier to it, and the winner is the one with the highest roll (or 2 out of 3).

-A Dungeon Master Client - where a GM or DM can log on to mediate / run quests, plotlines, and RP sessions..

-Legendary weapons and armor. Excalibur, the Holy Avenger, the Hand of Vecna, are legendary items that can enhance roleplay if a certain character has the ability to attain them. Also, lots of times these items are also sentient (having a will of their own), so they can exert influence to the wielder and the adventurers around them, making for excellent roleplay situations.

Just to re-add this to the list:


1) A camera/pose feature for taking immersive screenshots! Adding filters would be stellar too.

2) Interactive emotes. :D Being able to hug somebody or pick someone up, etc.

3) Being able to interact with the environment in unique ways would also be great. IE: Sitting on chairs, leaning on walls, etc.

Added the dicebag function! We did get legendary weapons and armor confirmed. As for the DM Client, Ashes is going to be the kind of game with 10k people online in the same server at the same time. I think the only ones with access to that sort of power would be the Gamemasters, and they have talked about potentially adding those to allow them to be able to create events!

Added the first one! We actually got 2 & 3 confirmed, to a degree. Hugging and other interactive emotes was specifically mentioned, and we do know we can sit on chairs/lay on beds/etc. I'll put in a special mention for wall leaning, though!

alot of people have mentioned most of my wish-listed stuff, but I'd like to have a large party-member limit, for RP events. Nothing would throw a wrench in an event requiring information control more than being limited to like six people per group.

In the podcast by Dungeon Crawler here (he answers the question at 27 minutes and about 15 seconds into the video ((use the slider))), Steven said the group limit is going to be 8, reflecting the 8 archetype classes. For raids, he mentioned it will be 40.

Great news on one of these! Steven's said a 'character profile area with an editable field'-type idea is something that Intrepid's already been considering. Since they're aware it's something people would like and have already internally discussed it, going to take that off of the list.
