In Topic: Brohoof Memories (Photo album)

10 May 2016 - 11:15 AM

Over the years I've been notoriously bad at taking memorable screenshots, but I've traversed all the images I could find from old times, picking out a few memories. I wish I had taken images from everything, every event and every great time, although I'm sure I'd have to buy myself a terabyte of harddrive space to fit all of that on it.

 

A few random Brohoof pictures and adventures

Adventures in Colonizations, plus some related shenanigans

 

Thank you all for the great times we've had together!

(And being able to fit in such tiny spaces as a shapeshifting foal is also pure happiness!)


In Topic: Discussion topic about the shutdown

So it took this long before Brohoof drew its last breath. It's been a great place to stay for the handful of years I've been here, and this place has become like family to me. I'm glad to have met all the different and wonderful people I have met here! Many friendships have bloomed here, and I've had thousands of hours of great time while being here. There will most certainly be moments from this place that I will cherish for a long time going forward. Thank you all for the great time we've had together!

 

Recently, it's been a fight. Brohoof has been lying on the death bed, which I'm sure many people have been aware of, myself included. So much effort has been put forth by a few people behind the scenes, trying their best to keep it running for the extra months that it has, which I'm grateful for, too. Hopefully the work that has been going on recently can be transferred to the new proposed server, and we can start afresh again.

 

I have an urge to say that the timing of the death of Brohoof is announced in an important moment of time for me, as I've just recently lost a family member. Although, that doesn't bother me, because death is only the beginning of a greater adventure. We can rebuild ourselves from what is left behind, going stronger forward, together.

(This topic is a joke, if someone think it's serious. Also, I was randomly tossed into that song for some unknown reason. I've got nothing against capitalism that is regulated to some degree and I'm not in favor of communism at all)

Without detailed replies, how else would a discussion be possible? And without discussions, how could we ever make a quality product that works for everybody? ^^

In Topic: Bat Pony Suggestions

20 April 2016 - 01:14 PM

One of the biggest motivations we had when we decided to try to rework the classes was to focus on lore, making the classes feel like they actually are the races they represent. A result of this is that there are a lot, lot more passive abilities and utilities that may benefit not only an individual player, but also those they are playing together with. Combat-oriented skills have been toned down as a result of that, counting for roughly one third or so of the total number of skillpoints that can be allocated. This said, there are a few things that can be discussed on the skills and abilities:

 

Discussion on skills and abilities

I’d like to bring forth a skillset that is still incomplete, but may be useful for Bat ponies. This skillset is based on suggestions from this thread and various comments gathered over time. First off, some motivation and background: I’ve been prowling all over the internet in search of various ideas that could complement bat ponies, and flesh them out more. I’ve attempted to find a role for them in the society, other than your everyday mercenary or player killer.

Problem I have in this regard is that there’s not a lot of material to work with – which begs the question, what is it that Bat ponies actually do, other than possibly being guards? What is their role in society? This is a very important question that we should attempt to properly answer. My search for answers hasn’t proven to be fruitful as of now, which is why this proposal isn’t complete.

Apologies for this wall of text, but this is something that needs to be discussed before I start working on the actual implementation of anything. This is my draft of the Bat pony race thus far, based upon feedback and suggestions that has been gathered over time, while trying to fit the canon (and common fanon) lore to the class. Anything that you’d like to see added to this, modified, or removed?
