Not a bad concept
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:01 PM
I like the concept
I can expand on it
But I already have an area we can use on Semia
Late into the storyline
E4 Island and the Battle Resort
Plus player housing is there since we don't plan to use /warps then its worth renting the house space at the resort for that
NickImpactYesterday at 5:02 PM
yeah, I mean, this is sorta like what we'd do with the whole base concept
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:02 PM
Yea
NickImpactYesterday at 5:03 PM
what would be cool is to have it work in a way such that, maybe each base is its own void world
and you can expand it, choose a theme, build perhaps, etc
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:03 PM
That's a big concept now xD
It sounds dope but would take time to actually produce no?
NickImpactYesterday at 5:04 PM
yep
unless we just went with no building
but, it would satisfy a lot
private training area, setup to your liking

This was the area I was planning for competitive attraction, it's one of the very final things that needs doing
Until Semia map is done
We can put the training area concept on the beach/resort?
NickImpactYesterday at 5:07 PM
but the problem is
you wouldn't be able to use it till post game
so how would you train prior to everything
just wild pokemon and random npcs?
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:08 PM
How would early game users afford that?
NickImpactYesterday at 5:08 PM
they just build up their money
and buy as necessary
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:08 PM
Hmmmm
Hold up
I have an idea
Gonna speak to pickles about quest/main storyline quickly
I think we EXCLUDE the E4 Island from the storyline, we don't force the player to do E4 since not everyone is competitive
So what if
We had a super early game quest that offers direct transport to E4 Island, levels and shit would be higher, BUT a boat can safely take players to the resort
That way it's offered early game but it's more realistic to people who commit
NickImpactYesterday at 5:10 PM
how would it scale or work for what a player needs?
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:10 PM
Scale by gym progression?
Would make the most sense imo
NickImpactYesterday at 5:10 PM
so, would a player who just started be able to use it
but is that place setup for such a structure
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:11 PM
That's the thing I mentioned earlier, it's still being built so if we want we can restructure this build and change it up for what we decide on
NickImpactYesterday at 5:12 PM
so you'd rather have a public hub rather than an area where a player can setup their area to their liking?
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:13 PM
I think time wise and for launch we can do public hub
Update into the unique system post launch when things settle down
NickImpactYesterday at 5:14 PM
hmm
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:14 PM
Because lets be honest
NickImpactYesterday at 5:14 PM
might have to do that
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:14 PM
Your idea is the legit one
But time wise, we have a big opportunity if we launch next month
And plus community LOVES seeing upgrades ;)
"New update: Battle Resort training area has been upgraded! Train the way YOU want with customizable blah blah"
The community eats that shit brother
NickImpactYesterday at 5:16 PM
we could do it like that
just want to make sure we setup that resort in a fashion then that allows for us to make that change
otherwise, it can go against us
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:16 PM
Yea so if you want
Wanna grab drew me and yourself in a call and speak to him about it
NickImpactYesterday at 5:17 PM
when I get home from work
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:17 PM
Can be tomorrow even lol
But ya solid concept idea bro
That's SEXY stuff, we gotta make sure it's super balanced tho
One screw up and everyone gets level 100s xD
NickImpactYesterday at 5:18 PM
it'd feature the scaling system
it's literally a training ground setup exactly how insurgence does it
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:18 PM
Should be fine then
Insurgence is super loved
NickImpactYesterday at 5:19 PM
everyone will have level 100s by the end of the day as well
but it'll all be based on progression
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:19 PM
If they have Dan Bilzerean kind of money on our server
yea
NickImpactYesterday at 5:19 PM
someone could easily buy a level 100 from GTS
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:20 PM
Hmmm, are we good with that? Would it break our storyline at all you think?
NickImpactYesterday at 5:20 PM
that's your opinion
TacticalTickler (JP)Yesterday at 5:20 PM
I can look in on that
