I'm just throwing you guys the info that is already public and "out there" as a service to you, our beloved EVE players. I can't give any information beyond what's there (because I don't know it). I just figured putting this out there is better than letting people speculate without the basic information already provided. -- Originally by: CCP Explorer What could possibly go (more) wrong?

Karn Velora	Posted - 2011.01.09 07:22:00 - [33] So much hate for the Toreadors... Sure, I suppose they ain't Brujas, but if you just look a little bit deeper, you'll find that they are quite capable of holding their own in situations other than beauty pageants. Think of them like... a Vengence assault ship: tearing people to shreads is all good, but that's no reason not to look good while doing it. Toreadors can certainly be pretty to look at, but they don't really qualify as "nice", by any standard other than possibly a comparison with the other clans in wod.

Themeparks are scripted content. Stuff like dungeons/raids ( every fantasy MMO out there ), public quests (WAR), Jabba's Palace (SWG) etc. You go there, hop in the trolley and enjoy the ride. Coffe Shop. "Chat room" with ambience. Second Life etc. So you go to the Succubus Club, use your EMO power to bite some EMO-chick neck, then sit in the VIP lounge and circlejerk with your undead friends about how all the NPC chicks "dig you". So basically buit-in CAOD?

Hiram Alexander Caldari Holdfast Industries	Posted - 2011.01.09 08:32:00 - [39] If they have perma-death, or a perma-death server, I'd be right in there... Damn tootin'... Nosferatu'd right up.

Whaatà True Brujah was awesome! And by awesome I mean stupid.

Venkul Mul Gallente	Posted - 2011.01.09 09:30:00 - [42] Originally by: Karn Velora So much hate for the Toreadors...

Toreadors can certainly be pretty to look at, but they don't really qualify as "nice", by any standard other than possibly a comparison with the other clans in wod. Toreador Disciplines: Presence = influence the behavior of any kind of creature, even those more powerful - good Celerity = faster reaction time and movement, more actions - good Auspex = seeing the unseen, up to emotions and thoughts - good A Toreador with Celerity is a decent fighting machine, Auspex and Presence are great in social activity And people thinking of Twilight should remember that even if Toreadors tend to be emo artists, a lot of them love the "artistry" of pain, blood and so on, hardly a bunch of nice guys/gals. About "safe" territory I will remember people of the existence of the Elysium in the Camarilla cities (meting halls where combat of use of powers is forbidden and, if detected, meet swift justice) and similar even if less stringent rules for the Sabbath and Anarchs. My only doubt is how CCP will manage perma death and give an aura of real power to the older, presumably NPC, vampires. As it will be a game without a Storyteller/moderator/GM [choose the definition you prefer] the difference in powers between players will not be too large as it will imbalance the game, but then killing a player will become very easy and low cost if a long time player can be killed by 10 just rolled Bruja attacking as a swarm. Who care if 9 of them die, they will be re-rolled next minute and the older character would have been destroyed. Even playing a Childe (son) of the older vampire with most of his Xp will not be the same thing, especially if it happen with an high frequency. On the other hand make that almost impossible and the game will risk becoming stale very fast. Hard to balance.

Looking like perma death......and god I hope so. Also this is a Vampire game...as evil as it gets... a mature rating shouldn't even be questioned.
Jagga Spikes Minmatar Spikes Chop Shop	Posted - 2011.01.09 10:12:00 - [45] i doubt there will be perma-death. to easy to abuse and too hard to balance. i was more thinking along "visibility meter". if one participates in massive gathering their visibility by other increases, which means hunters start attacking more often, and any service by peers becomes more expensive. basically, one becomes jinxed with troubles, unless they take effort to reduce their visibility. not unlike security rating in EVE. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel - [jedi handwave] "There is no spoon."
svetlana Constellation Guard	Posted - 2011.01.09 10:28:00 - [46] aren't vampires already perma-dead? "how do you kill that which has no life?'
Anubis Xian Word Bearers of Chaos	Posted - 2011.01.09 10:34:00 - [47] It might be Permadeath in the Highlander sense rather than the Final Destination sense. It might also be intertwined with the Masquerade. When you violate the Masquerade your Final Death may happen... or something like that.

This actually sound like a very good idea... Npc ambushes in any moment, any place. Sounds even worth trying to gain volountarily for the challenge... Problem will be dealing with death... IIRC there's nothing akin resurrection in WoD (though most "characters" have supernatural resilience and healing abilities), but once you're down basically nothing can save your ass (and it's arguable that in most cases even your "allies", especially in the vampire side, would kick you in the ribs if you get downed...)

The vampires would be the hardest to hand wave resurrection with story telling, for the reasons you mention. With Garou and Magi it is a matter of reincarnation, or at least some last minute rescue revival. With Vamps it would be open season, especially if your a low generation and helpless, then it becomes all you can eat.
Jada Maroo	Posted - 2011.01.09 16:34:00 - [56] Edited by: Jada Maroo on 09/01/2011 16:34:59 Anyone expecting this game to be as cutthroat as Eve is going to end up sorely disappointed. This is CCP's chance at a mass market game with an untapped and wildly popular genre and they are not going to waste the opportunity by catering to the kinds of people who are attracted to Eve's griefing mechanics. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the way people play Eve -- I have two accounts here -- but if you're in the MMO business and you have a golden opportunity like World of Darkness you don't look at Eve and say "I want to limit it to those kinds of people." Words like "social" and "more accessible" are very telling. As a role player I'm actually looking forward to it. I hope the vampires-only bit is only talking about supernatural creatures... because I really look forward to playing a human Hunter.

At least there, death would be easy to handle: if your character goes die or reads to many runes, you lose some rather irrelevant skills and instead pick up the story as old uncle Herb from the same dynasty of far-too-nosy investigators.

The thing is, people are having those expectations less because it's CCP and more because that's how the IP works ù if they want to draw on the World of Darkness crowd and properly represent the world, they'll need to create something that's far more cut-throat than EVE could ever hope to beà ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki
Tagera	Posted - 2011.01.09 16:45:00 - [58] Well hopefully they add in Humanity. Exactly in the pen and paper after killing a human your humanity drops bit by bit until the Beast overtakes you...then it's Final Death. Oh, and some diablerie would be nice. Drink older vampires blood until they die, gain their abilities. Even though it's very very illegal according to Camarilla law.

You are not going to see permadeath in World of Darkness. There will be some added bit of lore that explains why your vampire is brought back to the world. Some sort of curse (or blessing from their POV) that doesn't allow these special vampires to be totally vanquished. I'm a fan of the setting but I wouldn't play any MMO that went the permadeath route, nor would much of anyone. Can you imagine permadeath + Goons? Hilarious? Yes. Is it gonna happen? Zero chance.

Zero chance. ok here is your main failing, sure the CEO of CCP went to watch over the project in atlanta, and sure a lot of CCP artist and prgramers went too. but all in all, the game is not being made by CCP, it's being made by Whitewolf. And anyone that has played This game PnP, and I mean the fact that every single college in america has a group of 50+ people larping it, know s that it's a social game, with little combat, but it's also more cut throat and dark than eve at the same time. And it's all because of permideath. Just the fact you'll never come back seems ok at 1st but then you're like, f that, unless there is a really good reason to risk it. I don't know if it would work in a mmo, but keep in mind Whitewlf is makig World of Darkness, and CCP just happen to buy that company years ago.
