Paragon Chat Development Roadmap and Wishlist

[Azrael]

Trains are working. :)

A great feeling to see them go live again.

Exciting to see the game come back brick by brick.

Azrael.

Thank you for the tremendous progress and all of the work you have done. Of those in your wish list which I parsed out, which do you and the other developers feel is closest to being 'next'? 
I would have never guessed that we could be  this far  along. 8)

The stuff higher on the list is more likely to be completed earlier. That's why there is a timeframe listed on each block. I mean, you asked for a timeframe for something that already has a timeframe listed for every item on the list.

[Draxion]

This is brilliant so far!
Any plans to get us into the ski chalet?  Skiing each Christmas and hanging at the chalet became a bit of a tradition for me.  Being able to do it again would be amazing.

[Aggelakis]

It's already there.

[Draxion]

It's already there.

Oh my God you're right!

So this is so Awesome.  Thanks again  ;D

To Codewalker,

Four things I must say, before posting my wish list.

THANK YOU
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
and
THANK YOU

My Wishlist:

Character I.D. Profile:  Format features or code permissions, i.e. BOLD (code < b >< /b >)- Also a little more character space. Permission to insert jpg or png url image in profile.

Character Creation
(This might seem like an odd Wishlist item, but it's inspired by a few role-playing friends.)

1.  Thin male bodies, chests not buff.
2.  Dual Gender creation, or co-gender character creation, use of male or female faces and bodies.

More character creation Wishlist.

2 Upper Cranium Details (glasses + horns is one example)
2 Neck Detail (collar + scarf is one example)
2 More Chest Details for layering. (t-shirt, open vest, chain over chest as example)
More Skirts, and Kilts opened for female characters.

MEANWHILE. Until   1.2  - Since we can't form Super Groups, might a temporary feature be added by having a Super Group tag float under character name, for those that form Super Groups in forums.

The End.

Most of those are impossible. He can't add things which didn't exist in the game engine already. No extra costume part attachment points, no new body types, no new costume parts, nothing like that. Sorry.

Oh my God you're right!

So this is so Awesome.  Thanks again  ;D

It's been there since day 1. :P

[Nyghtshade]

Codewalker and team, I want to add my heartfelt THANKS!!! for all the work you've done and continue to do with Paragon Chat.  Looking forward to what is to come, and loving what we have already.

As for wishlists -- will it at some point be possible to see Tim's last 2 holiday maps become available ?  The wintry Atlas Park one, and the one in Frozen Croatoa, with the little lodge, huge Christmas tree out on the lake, ice-slides and northern lights?

1.  Thin male bodies, chests not buff.
2.  Dual Gender creation, or co-gender character creation, use of male or female faces and bodies.

Check out heroforge.com. It has very gender fluid bodies and facial features. I put a moustache on a lady, and the body sliders are the same for all characters.

I just have a few general questions/suggestions that I'm sure the community can answer:

1) I and I'm sure others have been inspired by the work Codewalker has done so far and I would happily add funds to help expand the team to try and get him some extra help to add to this project.  Just wondering if there is any reason why Codewalker is tackling this alone and has crowd funding been considered to recruit some help on the server side for example?

2) Mission architect still lets you write missions.  Is there anyway to read mission arcs created by players even if we can't actually play them?

3) If the assumption is that everything in Paragon chat up to this point is legal and above board then any characters/stories created in Mission Architect that were original would also be legal.  I know that recreating server side code is a massive task and would take years but if this hasn't been started because bringing back the game would annoy NCSoft then why don't we concentrate only on creating our own unique content in MA?  Even being able to read a player created mission then going into a basic instance, punching a dummy in the face, (that doesn't even fight back) and then going back to the contact to read the next part of the story arc would be good enough for me at this point.

4) In the meanwhile, how about a treasure hunt? Remember the Midnighter's base where you click on a skull at the front desk and it gave you a message and a clue as to where the next message is?  We know that Codewalker can put unique messages on doors and clickies so how about a similar thing with a story that takes you across the city trying to find the next clue?

That sounds like fun, but CodeWalker is probably too busy for that, it would be a lot of work.  Hey, that was like the first cape mission.  You had to go to a bunch of zones, and click on a bunch of contacts.  And in the end, you weren't supposed to click on the glowie.  Then they changed it, and made it less annoying.

I wish Mender Sally would return to Ouroboros!

*blows out the candles on the cake*

[Valtyr]

Mender Sally is on a very important mission. Not to worry, she is an intelligent and capable Mender and will soon return to Ouroboros after she successfully rights the wrongs in pre-history.

[Codewalker]

I wish Mender Sally would return to Ouroboros!

Mender Sally never left Ouroboros...

[Valtyr]

Um. You may want to check your records.

Spoiler for Hidden:

[Pengy]

Well, it's Ouroboros. She's presumably doing some mending in a different time while staying in Ouroboros.

[Codewalker]

I said she didn't leave Ouroboros. I didn't say she remained in the central pool where people were hurting her feelings by making fun of her... disability.

[Valtyr]

People are so mean. I loved seeing Mender Sally in the reflection pool. I have since refound her and given her the attention she deserves.

[MomentaryGrace]

Oooh, I found her too! Yay!!! She seems to be enjoying herself. :)

I am unaware of any disability. :P Being trans-dimensional ought not to be seen as a disability.
