Moblin Maze Mongers Set to Open for Business in Jeuno! (14/11/2008)

[Altanass]

maybe there will be an element of lolrandom to this, instead of placing walls/doors/mobs etc, you place items in each square and dont know what happens til you actually enter the maze. sort of like legend of mana map system. Thats the impression i got anyway from the picture where the moblin holds up the book with a map, 20 squares, one has an item in it. /random speculation ftw

If this gets customizable enough.. Think of the potential for this to become a first towards FFXI testing. Testing for latents, hidden effects, damage, etc. This would become a Ronfaure redux for people that love to test.

More and less than I expected as the first news bit;I didn't think they'd speak of personalized dungeons the first week, but I thought when they did, they'd give more info. I'm surprised it's going to start in Jeuno (LJ, of all places, place might actually get crowded again), but I expect it will just use all the WOG BC dungeon maps, due to their size and customability. That, and I doubt they'll add a totally new zone for this.

25 rooms of IT++ red crabs that are truesound? You betcha.

Grrraaa....CRAB BATTLE!!!

[Corrderio]

This does sound interesting. However I'm not going to hold my breath on the rewards.

The way I see it since it's your dungeon you'll have to supply them. Or the moblins will randomly find them when they dig the tunnels and whatnot.

Heheh - Pikachu, Lapras, Jolteon (built around Bug attacks), Kadabra, Wigglytuff, and Rhydon. Does a surprising amount of damage to legendaries, and I has the tanks to whup up on ye :3

Gengar/Snorlax/Tyranitar/Zapdos/Blissey/Heracross wrecked most things in GSC. I missed Tauros that generation, though. He was a true champion in the day of RBY. All we got as a replacement was Snorlax, who, to be honest, was a cheap motherfucker. Curse/Earthquake/Body Slam/Rest, proceed to destroy everything (even pre-Levitate Gengar, oh god, the horror).

Off topic I know but yes I didn't really switch Pokemon because my Umbreon just completely wrecked. As I said, people are sheep, and once my Umbreon gets fully Cursed Up I rarely take more than 50 damage, added by the fact that I recover like 50+ per turn. People had no hazers or played any strategy because... well, they're dumb.

If Little Big Planet is any indication as to how player custom stages will turn out on average...the majority will be complete crap. However, the best ones...the best ones will be the most amazing things you've ever experianced within the game itself. As long as the players have enough options...this thing can have limitless potential.

I've been living under a rock I admit (well not really, I just don't have time) so I know shit all about LBP. But it sounds like there's some sort of "level editor" included?

From my experience with games and online communities and such in general (like RPG maker, or mods/hacks to games, i.e. Super Mario World hacks) you are indeed correct the majority of "custom made" stuff really sucks because they are too narrow minded.

If so, the thing I would expect from this is a few (maybe a good 50 or so) extremely well made, challenging, pretty, smart creation would be made where we can all enjoy it (like most custom made (modded) stuff online, i.e. Counterstrike).

What's the average age of LBP? I really can't understand what the hype is about.

Oh, I know Spore spawned "Spornography" because people are making penis creatures...

And since it's all moblins and underground, it'll most likely look like Movapolos.

Finally a good practical for that area, eh? Otherwise aside from a few things it's a dead zone.

[Mizango]

Grrraaa....CRAB BATTLE!!!

Awesome lol.

[SubzeroDiabolos]

o____O
I think I shat my pants.

And I pee'd a little.

[Khajit]

SE hasn't been fucking up as badly lately(znm are good and lv sync only has the gear nerfing as a problem) so I'm more optimistic than usual but at the same time I still hope they don't screw this up.
It would be nice if you could turn some of these areas into a P vs p battle.(ballista or brenner)

[Dimmauk]

You realize, it might to cost Chocobucks to enter maps.

It COULD happen.

I MEAN IT EVEN MENTIONED CHOCOBO STABLES OH GOD SPECULATION.

I think people have pointed this out, but I too will be pissed if they manage to shoehorse something stupid onto a potentially good event that the majority of people will refuse to take part in.
:/

Like they did with ZNMs and Soultrappers?

[Corrderio]

Speaking of Soultrappers. What if you need to supply soulplates to have monsters in your zone?

[The Stig]

There will be blood.

[Charismatic]

Beat me to it, but actually found Pankration fun when I got into it lol

Don't give them any ideas. They might like this and do it.

Not calling Chocobo Racing stupid, but it has nothing to do with creating UGC dungeons. :/

Blah I can't view the link, and I'm about to get off work, will get home in 3 hours.

What is the link? If it's those Super Mario World hacks, the one you're showing me is either caked in eye candy and generally good level design, or it's one of them "challenge" games where everything you have to do precisely or the game kills you, or... someone made a level that's so retarded that there's no point in playing it seriously (i.e. 30 of them rockets come at you at once and there's no escape)...

[Aristio]

I'm not sure what to call it exactly...

But it's pretty cool to watch.
