The Foundry's Potential - What do you all think?

in Neverwinter

Hello!

 

So MMORPG community, I'll keep it short and sweet with a few discussion prompting questions regarding the Foundry in Neverwinter.

1. Given what we know so far about the Foundry, what kind of content will you attempt to make?

 

2. What storyline, quest, D&D campaign, or narrative would you like to see recreated by the Foundry community? Any source will do.

 

3. If persistent maps and/or guild housing were added at some point, what kind of map/village/castle/city would you create or like to see created by the Foundry community?

    has there been any info if there would be anyway to change boss scripting at all? that's one of the biggest things I'm hoping for to not have just static encounters when making a boss fight

    I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

    I've been working on 2 campaigns for about a month now:

     

    1. The first is nothing but a glorified version of a routine multi boss MMO raid.  large expansive dungeon with multiple bosses.  Boring but time consuming.  It's basically a WoW raid for the solo indivdual, something I always wanted to do in an MMO.

     

    and the second is

     

    2. Campaign featuring Lolth's minions and the return of Ancient Artifacts lost eons ago.

    Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!

    Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!

    Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!

    This NWN and NWN2 paved the way.

    hopefully it does... not expecting anything complex in this regard but something would be nice as after making a long epic quest it wouldn't be very exciting to just have a boss sit there and auto attack

    Some rumors say there may be to some extent.

    From talks with people experienced in STO foundry, things like NPC turning to hostile boss, defining places for certain kind of behavior (like probability of monster taking cover from ranged attacks etc.) are possible according to how game engine is defined.

    But remember - these are all opinions, even if they are opinions of experienced people, still opinions
