We'd love your ideas about how to make the Vampire District cooler!

We know Energy is controversial, but part of what it does is lead you to towne in between recharges.

1) What other kinds of things would you like to do during that time?
2) What do you think of the layout and functionality?
3) Where else would you like to go (in non-combat situations)?

Thanks guys, we've just launched and your early feedback helps so much!

A gold betting casino with games like poker and roulette would be sweet.

This is the correct place to post this I believe...

I like the camara, how its so moveable and the fast passed action, but I really dislike how everyone is just spamming swear words for the sake of it. Lol don't get me wrong I'm 26 and I swear a lot in real life but when I go in a game and just see word opon word of curse after curse, it stopped being funny. I think a limit of how many times you could say it an hour would be good, cause to me it was as bad as spamming the chat. Even the filter didn't work cuz my words were broken up with stars which is annoying and as I know every swear word under the sun, I could figure them all out near enough anyway.

Another thing which I dislike is the energy meter and time limit. I was up for some good fast runs to get away from the cursing in town but found I couldn't and a plat pop up popped up, I've already paid for a premium character, what more do you want from me. After Smh I went back to a more comfortable environment in Star Legends.

After my feedback, I would like to say I do think you've made a wonderful game and I was really impressed with the graphics and gameplay :-)

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Yours Faithfully - Mitchturbo

I like the general look of the vampire district and I love that all the shops are easily accessible.

I would like to see it opened up a bit. I don't like that it is like a long tunnel. It makes it difficult to hang out there because people are all clustered up. The open feel of the sanctuary is much better and I have noticed more players hanging out in that space.

A poker game with other players in game for gold would be epic.

I'm for any type of non energy consuming mini games.

Im for the gambling of the gold, you shoukd have a special wheel you can spin once a day that has like free gold and such and varying items from common to legendary, but the wheel has one space you can land on that fills ur energy bar instantly and u can go quest or farm right away.

Some kind of mini game to earn gold or items while you wait to regain energy would be cool!

Okay, I love DL so far, but the energy thing...Its just to far I know its to make some money off of platinum but I have to wait for 2 hours just to do more missions. IMO there should be a campaign you could go and kill stuff at that doesn't cost energy, or as previously recommended a game of some sort.

I'm hoping that guild halls will be implemented in the not too distant future. That would also give us a place to hang out. That's one thing that I think could do a lot to to encourage conversation/tips and tricks of game play

Swimmingstar
04-12-2012, 04:59 PM
An xp place where you kill monsters for xp, or just a repeatable quest for 0 energy or something you can do to fight and get something like items xp or gold even or all of them or two of them for fighting zombies, or humans.

Honestly I don't want to hang out in the vamp district, I do my auction house stuff buy pots if needed then head back out, well in this game I log out instead of heading back out to play since I can't play. Let's hope it doesn't cost energy to enter the guild hall...

That being said if there was a way to get back energy in the vamp district then I would hang out there. Increase energy return while in the sanctuary or something. I don't do pvp so doesn't leave much else to do.

If there was mini games, and a casino, the game would be fun. It would help past the time for recharging. Ey, mabey have a prize be energy for the winners.

I think there should be a big casino with a lot of games like poker, roulette, etc. and there should be like 6 tables with 4 at each table.

1. Have a random zombie we can hit and blood squirts out

2. Have random boss type guys that invade and we murder

3. Some lottery type thing

4. Make a guy that gives u a cool mask for getting to 21

5. In towne quests to get some extra cash while waiting for energy regen

6. A train in subway area you can pay to ride on and it drives around the towne and u can laugh at the noobs that are just walking and standing

7. More rooms from the sanctuary that have like random stuff to do or just to talk in


Thx for reading :D

Some minigame where you can get gold, items, energy or exp. A survival minigame would be cool that doen't deplete the energy.

Fyrce
04-13-2012, 02:38 AM
How about some training games?

Run through and kill ghouls gauntlet in x time and depending on time get 0-3 energy points.
Have targets in clusters and depending on how many you hit at once, get something -- 0-3 blood packs? a buff? random stuff?
Can train for spins and arc powers and maybe the range of powers.

Apollyon

How about a torture room where you get points for.making humans scream or give you information. Amd the more points you get the better, or worse lol, tools you can use on victims.

Or a casino I guess....

I think if you just made vamp alley more interactable or engaging, games would not be needed. I like the faster energy timer while in town.

Skeletonlord
04-13-2012, 09:34 AM
1) What other kinds of things would you like to do during that time?

While your energy is recharging, you should be able to interact with certain things, for example a bench, or as you approach a character, you can challenge them. In this "challenge" mode, you can invite them for skill training, or a driving course in a mode of transport. These can be free and optional, and not use your energy.

2) What do you think of the layout and functionality?

I think instead of a long corridoor, you could have portals leading to different streets, for example, a shopping street and a entertainment parade. The entertainment parade might have pubs and restarants. Maybe a blood swimming pool which recharges faster?

3) Where else would you like to go (in non-combat situations)?

i think while you are not in combat, you could explore the graveyard or something like that.

The District needs more content to compensate for the enormous amounts of downtime in the game. Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas for new content, but I'm sure most of the other people in this thread do.

Elyseon
04-14-2012, 01:02 AM
Well since this is no exactly related but very involved to the elements behind the questions, i think once the guild system is released it will add more to do in th down time, hopefully guildhalls will be customizable :D

Wererhino
04-15-2012, 01:46 PM
If there was a way we could spectate and bet on a specific type of PvP, Colosseum?, or monsters vs monsters like that.
Blackjack, Poker
Player owned houses; similar to the guild hall, all homes have the same entrance location. Customize it with furniture, wardrobe racks, and build on to it.
Arcade style minigames, maybe a bat slalom? Single and multiplayer
One might argue that if you want to play an arcade game, log out and go play it. But I think our aim is to keep players here, with only a reasonable amount of derailing from the rest of the game.

Do buffs run in town? It seems as though I had one die while I was shopping.

Apollyon

I would highly suggest changing the clothing store in to something else, or have it offer items not available in the stire tab. The redundancy is unneeded and the effort done to make that could have been directed elsewhere.

Not to say it looks bad by any means. In fact I feel it looks great and the details were really great. I just feel that level of detail could have been done on something useful. I suppose by that regard, the same can be said for the subway. Again, really nice work on them :) .

I love the Vampire District as it is. The street, club, clothes shop, body shop, and subway are all great. The street can get a bit crowded so maybe make it wider? But that's really not incredibly neccessary.

What IS incredibly neccessary is to put the auction guy in the club up on a little platform or side stage thing. It's really hard to click on him when the club gets crowded, and sometimes I'll get four players' inspect pages before I can finally open up the auction! -.-;

Also, I love the idea of a casino with poker, blackjack, roulette, slots, etc. However, I think what you're looking for is something similar to CTF. And in CTF, players don't get gold or items. We do get stats on our inspect pages and a chance to be on leaderboards. So, I think you should add casino, and a room with unlimited enemies and a timer to see how long you last and how many kills you get, and a park where you can try to successfully stalk humans to drink their blood and also maybe play chess and checkers on tables in the park. And add leaderboards for all of these things. That way we're getting the same thing we are from CTF. Also, a PvP section might be nice, too. :P

Hope this helps! XD

Some sort of creepy amusement park type thing with mini games to win vanities and gold would be good.

Irony
04-19-2012, 09:27 AM
1. Casino minigames to win more gold, energy, xp and items.

2. Blackjack or Poker to play with NPC or other players for gold.

3. Splatter House or Vampire Nation defense mission, where zombies or humans keep on coming and get strogner, you play solo, buffs and blood-packs disabled and you die once, you win a prize depending on zombies killed, leaderboards for most zombies killed.

4. Dueling, just for fun, gives no rewards.

5. Blood shop, sells buffs for gold/plat.

6. Pet store, sells bats, worms, pitbulls, wolves, bullfrogs, ravens, crawling hand, pets give no bonus, cost Plat.

7. Coffins'R'Us, a graveyard/Hotel, where you can rent a coffin for a day/week/month (premium subscription), costs Plat, gives you 50% faster energy regeneration and 100% more maximum energy.

My only issue with the district is with the auctioneer, even after he switched spot, I sometimes have to click 4-5 times and change angles before I can click on him instead of clicking on random people.

Jig
04-22-2012, 08:38 AM
Hmm 1. Make a bonus game where you battle in waves to 50 or so on. Call it horde? I got this mainly from Gears of War the best graphics Xbox 360 Game. 2nd is you really need to tale down the prices of blood packs, mostly have to solo maps an uses up to 10 blood packs and i'm going threw so much gold at least 2.7k or 2k for 25 Blood packs? Would be better, 3.also bring the energy time to 3mins would be great.

I like this idea! I think a daily wheel would be awesome! It would help motivate people to play every day and have rewards that you can only get from the wheel. It'd also be cool if you could earn platinum from the wheel, but like a small chance.

And like stone said, another reward could be to earn free energy!

So like, rewards could be...
platinum
gold
energy
pinks & greens

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mini-games like chess and checkers would be cool too!! I'm not good at poker and I'm not sure I like the idea of "gambling" but I think board games and stuff would be fun. Things WITHOUT blood would be nice once in a while.

Maybe have a faster way to access death match/ctf? I don't like that I have to run a distance to get back each time cause I had to leave a game with no one in it. Or a way to join games, not just get put into a room. New maps as well for the ctf/dm. Not just king of the ring all of the time, maybe add a juggernaut game or some type of tournament? Hmm.. I really like this game, but I'm just getting stressed with some time I want to spend in it. Great job so far, keep up the good work.

I'd like to see a new building that leads to the PvP portals. That way you don't have run down the street as a few others have mentioned. It would serve as a good hang out for players who are more into PvP and want to socialize with other PvP players between matches.

Also other clubs or hang outs where you can just spend time and socialize, chat or roleplay without the auction crowd. Club sanctuary is great and useful but it is a bit too crowded at times.

Some of the other suggestions others made would be great hangout ideas. Places like a graveyard or creepy park would be great.

A free for all combat area with no teams. Just enter the area and start bashing on each other. If some players wanna team up then good for them but have no set teams. This would work best if it lead to battle rooms that were level restricted. Along with this a private dueling area would be fun too. Where one player can invite one or more other players to duel with them. The duel room might be something a player can buy with plat or gold much like a guild hall.

I like the current layout for the vamp dis right now even though I think that it can get rather crowded. I propose expanding the map to include more visitable locations. Perhaps different themed clubs with similar functions to sanctuary to spread the population out. Casino would be cool not against that as long as it's not plat for chips only. Adding many more mini games past that would just be cluttering up the game. Those are my thoughts about this enjoy.

I don't mean to necro-post (though since I am a vampire maybe it's reasonable?) but - I don't enjoy hanging out in the VD. The smack talking, begging, friendbushing (ambush friend requests) and trolling are tiresome. If I could enable an ignore mode so I can't see what non-friend people are saying, auto-delete any PMs not from friends, auto-reject friend requests - then I could potentially enjoy hanging out there.

If that were the case then some additional activities could be interesting including many of the suggestions above. I'm not big on gambling but I could see doing a little gold gambling. Being able to watch (and maybe bet on) PvP matches would rock. A survival gauntlet would be pretty cool too, so long as the deaths don't count toward your PvE deaths stat. A practice area where you could get a feel for the power, range and effects of your powers would be awesome - but for that I'd suggest maybe having it be a feature of the top tier guild hall. For that matter, a mock-PvP area (also in the top guild hall?) where deaths don't count and elixirs don't work nor do they time out but you can practice would be sweet.
