Verun Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Just to make it clear. This is only out of curiosity what the people in this forum want more. It's in no way meant to influence the dev's in a way they don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm in the "I don't care" camp -- the continued development of the game and the achievement of their original vision document is all that matters for me. TheCenturion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieben Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I don't care Earlier or later, npc and multiplayer will be integrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walden Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) For me? NPC's, by far. Just like the ambient sound-effects and the meta-events did, NPC's will bring a whole new level of life to the game. I want to be walking down the street, to find a barricaded house and a bunch of dead zombies outside. What will I choose to do next? Will I approach the house in hopes to find a group to survive with? Will they attack me? What if they're friendly but one of the survivors is infected? What if I wake up one morning and all my supplies have been taken? That's the beauty that NPC's offer, and I can't fucking wait for it. Edited February 12, 2014 by kirrus Not being lovely.

bassair Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 My friend and I have been playing our own little fake-MP for months now (play at the same time pretending as though we're in the same place) so I'm DEFINITELY most excited for real multiplayerWe're going to get up to so much in the way of hijinks.

Guest Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 From the start I was led to believe that NPC's would be in before multiplayer (wish I could quote, but too lazy and too non-caring, if someone is mad about it, post em) and I don't have time to play multiplayer games as they take a huge chunk of my life, plus a good story any day, so NPC's would be my anticipation.

Really depends on how you look at it -- a goal of the now defunct RC3 was to have NPCs in, if I remember correctly -- it didn't work out. But, no mention of multiplayer was made at that time, so any inference as to whether NPCs were to be in before multiplayer has to be made implicitly.It's likely the same for most old posts, depending on the age and whether they were made during the time that NPCs were still in the game or not.

Blasted_Taco Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well the Devs made it clear back then that they wanted NPCs first before MP, so in my mind NPCs always came first. Now not so much, but still i always will wait more for stories in SP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migillis Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I would imagine AI is going to be one of the harder aspects of the game to implement. It's a really ambitious approach that could seat PZ all in a league of its own and they'll probably have an interesting time getting it to run with a perfect balance and weeding out any unexpected or inappropriate behavior by the AI director.I don't think I'd mind if some features are fleshed out, or new items, or even portions of map come out before AI as long as the NPCs really bring an extra level of depth to the game, and more consideration to how you play it.

Eliijahh Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well I'd like to have NPC's first since multiplayer is still far from being complete gameplay-wise. Think about the lack of an aiming system to shoot against other people. Or hunting. Or factions... It'd be too barebones to be enjoyables atm. I'd like the single player aspect to be more fleshed out before having the possibility to enjoy it with other people (which is only a plus).

That is why I was so surprised when I read "Multiplayer" in news and development section of the website. Surprised in a good way of course. I actually thought they wouldn't implement multiplayer at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I actually thought they wouldn't implement multiplayer at all. For the longest time, I thought that to -- hoped against it ever being implemented.But here we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJane3384 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I voted "I don't care". Not because I don't actually care, but because I feel like they are equally important. If PZ multiplayer is going to be anything like my Minecraft experience, I'll spend a good majority of server time playing by myself anyway, so having NPCs around will make it much more exciting.

Kajin Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I've always considered NPCs to be the more important option since they'd drastically change how the game is played. Multiplayer would pretty much be the same game as it is now except you can play it with friends. As far as I'm concerned, NPCs are definitely the better option and I would have loved to see them in first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ah, but MP is meant to include NPCs, as well . . .Mu wah ha ha ha ha ha ha . . .Small print: don't mistake that for me saying NPCs are going to be included in MP. They'll just have a place there once they're in the game.. SJane3384 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffyzombie Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 i don't know how to think, this thread just takes me back to the old forum and the occasional new member who would post when is multiplayer coming.
