Version 8 overhaul

[Mahn]

We have major changes coming in the next version, which would be eight. A completion date is not set and let's just say...December, 2010. We will not answer any questions regarding Version 8 NOR accept your constant "when is it coming out" remarks. Here is a basic list of what are going in.

1. Class editation with new skills to make them more unique.

2. Boss battles will be more unique and increased difficulty. The following link gives an example as to what one of the bosses will be like. The example boss is Vallatio from a public testing. Each boss will have a unqiue challenge to them different from normal battles.

3. Sounds will be added for spells and certain monsters.

4. Battle turfs will be different and a new random battle turf generator will be added.

5. A special item will be implemented for a more unique game.

6. The final dungeon will be implemented, not including the boss, which will be in version nine.

Sounds for the new skills and new spells... Hello, 20MB game download!

Anyways, keep up the good work with the game. Can't wait for V8.

I will personally make sure that all the sounds are less than 20kb each...

That special item is something that the real players of FFTHG (Pr, kain, rapta, myself, hiro, bolt, erb, etc) will love, and be grateful for. Yet, people who are newer and who don't care (Usually those whining for pvp, do nothing but damage posts, want things more their way, and are total idiots) probably won't benefit at all with it. >.> That's all I'm going to say, probably more than I should have, so go take a wild guess.

Sounds like a gold rush to me O.O

[Rapta111]

Special item? I like! ;D ;D ;D

And maybe this could help reduce the current "need" for high levels to help with the training of people.

[Sandlight]

hidden skills? or maybe exp boost?

[demonhunterdaz]

sounds cool. But would it really take that long, i mean, it shouldnt take till december this year really. Unless your adding a hell of a lot of sounds and totally remaking the system. Good luck anyway.... P.s why is it when i logged onto the game the chatroom came up instead??

>.> and I thought I was the slow one xD

Basic rundown of how we update-
We all have a big meeting, and drag in every BH that's online. We discuss things that will be added, things that will be put off for later, and things that have been decided a no on (basically, everything). Then, we all get assigned/ask for a specific job out of the list of updates. We get those done, which may take a while, and we all give them to Kija to add. Then, we do test runs on a private server hosted by whoever one of us wishes to, if we all test together. That is a private, BH only server, so, sorry all. No testing for you.
After the testing, we gather up again, discuss what changes are needed, and make those (I'm assuming? This part, I have yet to be part of). We make the new changes, send to Kija, test run again. Over and over until we get it right. Once that is done, and everything is right, THAT is when we decide, usually and mainly, on a good release date, and then we release it, unless it gets pushed back due to errors found and/or personal problems dealing with the BH and/or BH member. Then, we release it on the newly decided date, unless, god forbid, we get struck by another ailment, and that gets pushed back. xD
I got the job of creating the stats and battle plans or such of the new monsters, and lemme tell ya, it isn't what it's all lead to be. This is a bit of a pain in the ass. Especially figuring out damage rates using 3rd grade math, that I did not understand until 2 minutes ago because it was so obvious, and I was expecting quantum physics. xD

which reminds me, my job is roughly done, i need to send the file stuff to someone to look over

[Bolt]

I think people are startin to hate me again >.>. But anyway....GOLD RUSH CITY!

[FenrirXIII]

I heard tiny rumors that there will be 'advanced' classes that can be obtained stuff like from the original skure2-the dead world ? <.<; if this is supposed to be secret than delete my post...otherwise its a good guess just like anyone elses XD

Can't wait! The Brotherhood always has fun tricks up their sleeves that we would never expect XD (lookit mahn-hes all...mahn-like o.o)

[Mahn]

There was a thread on new classes and we(The Brotherhood) came up with "advanced classes". Upgrade of the 10 classes we got now. You play as an original class and later, can upgrade starting back at lvl one but get specialities. They will have all new different icons and looks with them, so much work. It is no rumor and we don't know if they will be added or not. Of course, they won't be added in Version 8 or Version 9...maybe 10 if we decide to put them in.

[Rapta111]

I still vote against that idea... >.>

I mean, people like how the game is right now, and this is an idea that would require a complete re-vamp of the entire game, which might be something that many of the current players may not like.

I dunno, that's just the way I see it.

[talon]

I'm only a little curious, as I do not fully know, if that means they will lose access to what they have learned and will have to re-get those skills/spells. As well as if that will put them back in Kreland, and have to fight the bosses again/do everything all over. But, I suppose it will keep the oldbies entertained. And for some of the idiots, give bragging rights.

[Jumin]

hmm.. when these new character upgrades do come out, i think i may start using alts... I like my BM, but i'll get a new BM and make that upgraded... then i'll see which one is stronger in the end..

-Tear- Thats all I'm going to say about that.

It would be cool if the "upgrade" of the classes got 2 times as much stat growth per lvl as their former class. 1.5x for hp and mp. And learn their former spells twice as fast + every 10 lvls 1 spell/skill unique to thier advanced class.
And make it take longer for the upgrades to lvl then thier former class *Thief upgrade gets Redmage tnl lol*

i.e. The Fighter upgrade would get, +18 HP, +0 MP, +6 Str, +4 Vit, +6 Dex, +4 Agi, +2 Will (Not sure how melee would get mp, but they should gain more quicker)
and
Redmage would get, +13 HP (rounded down 4.5), +6 MP, +4 Str, +4 Vit, +6 Dex, +5 Agi, +4 Will,

And maybe make it an option to start over at the level 1 uber class cuz some people might fall in love with their High level Killzness.

*edit* Or make it like they got a level up thing for each stat plus the 2 options level ups

Ex: Fighter +16hp, +0 mp, +4 str, +3 vit, +4 dex, +3 agi, +2 wp, then get 2 choices on what you want to personalize.

*Bad Grammer* *Long Post/edit*

[talon]

You know.. I just realized how I typo'd that, in I guess the point of view of others.. I meant more along the lines of 'people who are new and don't care', as in one type of person, not two different types.. Yeah, I fixed it now. xD

[Kyou]

I'm still not on the list.

*P.S. check out my edit 2 posts up*

[Rapta111]

You can consider yourself a member of the "etc" part then. I never played Skure, though I heard that it was released at one point. Maybe the Upgraded Classes concept could be a part of that game?
