Hi all,
Sorry about the delay and lack of info, but IBT#4 should be starting next week.
SUMMARY OF KEY CHANGES - IF THEY ARE WORKING (
Campaign map - Will stay the same as IBT#3 but schedule will change, so gameplay (stage) posts come out roughly once a night (giving more time for people to enjoy and not get confused between stages). Also the creatures you fight will change from IBT#3 keeping it fresh and new.
Items - Items only stay with you for the stage your in, exception being Items purchased from the item shop, these can be invoked for any Stage, but once stated you are using, they cannot be used or carried over to next stages.
Other proposed Game play changes:
- Players won't be able to attack each other or pickpocket each other
- Players will need to choose a class, either Wizard (Mage), Archer or Warrior. Each class will have unique attacks (attack command for you to type) that will enrich and emerge you in game play, making it a more personalized journey across the campaign map (you can make some choices that will impact if you defeat a foe in a stage or not).
- Trophy's are still in, you can simply attack, but I absolutely love the free form text and ability for players to put in their own images etc, helping to add to the story/game itself. Do great replies, get a trophy and upvotes - buy items with trophys :)
- If you lose all 3 life points in any given stage, you can still play all other stages including Boss round, as you get 3 life points fresh each new stage.
- I'll be playing along as well, I just won't be entitled to win the prizes (I just wanna play for fun :)) - but if anyone has any concerns/complaints then I'll not participate.
So yeah, a few changes summarized here, again it's experimental and its difficult trying to find a winning combination that the majority of people love and enjoy - so they can have fun, while having a chance to win a little Steem.
If all goes well and the above it achievable we should see enrolments starting early next week (in a few days).
If there are changes it will be detailed in the Detailed instructions post, which will come available shortly after enrolments - it will be very similar to IBT#3 overall (just improved - we hope :)
All the best and take care
