Posted my suggestion on their forum:
[quote]I think it'd be pretty sweet if at some point you implemented a system of achievement which resulted in the achiever receiving some form of aesthetic display.
I was pondering a few ways you could do this non-intrusively and I remembered a game I played recently, Hammerfight, and as one progressed through the levels, you'd receive awesome and impressive capes of various lengths and decoration, as you killed more creeps and progressed through the game. Physically these would billow and sway as you maneuvered about.
This would be pretty sweet, maybe it could be milestoned at 50/100/250/500/1000/2500/5000/10000 kills for your primary kill cape (red) and this would determine the length (more kills = longer), other capes would be other colours and these would be recognizable to some extent, perhaps a blue and brown striped cape could represent a masterful boat builder for example?
Secondly I was reminded of titles from Wurm online amongst other games.
Within this game I think it'd be pretty cool if you could set a title before your name, optionally of course!
Mine 500 blocks? Miner Grasshopper
Kill 500 enemies with an axe? Slayer Chuck
Kill 5000 enemies with a rapier? Dance Master Forel
Have the most kills of anyone with a claymore? Braveheart Pan
Kill 500 enemies with a bow? Archer Robin
Kill 2500 enemies with a rifle? Sniper Sioux
Kill 100 dragons? Dragonslayer Rupert
Bring down 50 airships with a harpoon? Whaler Poseidon
I also thought about custom plumage colours and coat of arms, the plumage would sit atop your helment and draw colours from your customizable coat of arms.
Perhaps when you are killed, the coat of arms is displayed impressively in the middle of the screen and it shows you some of the players stats (You got killed by Rajah, bringing his total kills up to 5830 and kills with a bomb up to 192)
The coat of arms would be editable on the site and could range in size from absurdly small (16x16) if you wanted to have it displayed a lot (perhaps above peoples heads) to a nice high detailed size (1024x1024) with discernable features. Maybe new shapes and stuff to use could be unlocked through playing a lot and these could represent your awesomeness (5000 kills with a bow might unlock you a new bow shape) and editing it could be locked to twice a week or maybe once a week, or perhaps cost some of your currency (which would otherwise be spent on new swords and dragon eggs).
Thanks.[/quote]

I think It's a fantastic idea. Hopefully they do too.
Just gonna put it out there, I'm now one of the developers of this game :)
Awesome. Is there anything you can tell about an upcoming update?
For the test build or the main release?
I just want to know what will come in the next update for the normal game.
Well most importantly network lag fixes and a graphics/design overhaul.
I'm currently working on the archer bots.
Oh, that too. Bots.
Bots! Awesome. That means we can have a bunch of archers sitting back at the base and shooting loads of arrows at enemy knights coming towards the castle.
[QUOTE=joost1120;31824217]Bots! Awesome. That means we can have a bunch of archers sitting back at the base and shooting loads of arrows at enemy knights coming towards the castle.[/QUOTE]
Right now the archers are basically aimbotting snipers. They know exactly where you are and exactly where to aim or move to be able to aim.
Ouch. There should a be small randomization in it.
[QUOTE=joost1120;31824632]Ouch. There should a be small randomization in it.[/QUOTE]
There will. There are still many things I need to fix in their AI but I'm sure I'll have something to show soon.
This game kicks ass so fucking hard. Add me to the list: EdwinLinkomies

Played my first game today. Wow it was a lot of fun but when someone decided to take down our forts, it started to ruin my mood.
This game is so fucking great. So much potential.
Will definitely buy it if he wants to sell it.
I think MM is quite an underrated developer. So little talk about him, yet he makes really nice things.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;31846646]Will definitely buy it if he wants to sell it. [/QUOTE]They are going to sell a version with redone graphics afaik, atleast that's what I've gathered from my conversations with geti on the subject.
iNova probably has a better idea of what's going on.
Also I saw a post about Gold servers, where people who buy premium can only join.
Will probably be grief free.

He's a smart programmer, he made Soldat after all, he constantly delivered updates for it an so on, he also has his priorities as he's doing coding for life. He's definitely a very experienced coder.
Also a new blog post.
[quote]Damn, this release was tough. I’m constantly fixing stuff and there’s still a bunch of issues.I have to postpone gold servers and editor doesn’t quite work. Sorry about this, all will resolved in the following days. [b]I should do releases more frequently in the future so problems don’t pile up.[/b][b]On a side note: surprisingly skybridges prevent stalemates and push the gameplay forward. Because there are 3 paths (underground/ground/sky). I have to think of a better way to do that (balloons?)[/b].

I would rather have more frequent updates too, but yes new update brought more changes which I like.[/I]

Yeah he's great.
I was a crazy follower of Soldat. It was actually their forums that led me to Facepunch.
I wonder if he's using the same engine as the one he made for Link Dead. The flow and the menus kinda reminds me of it. I'm glad his main focus is on this game though.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;31849370]I wonder if he's using the same engine as the one he made for Link Dead.[/QUOTE]
Yep.
One thing I can't STAND is when I've been in a long awesome battle and suddenly someone votes for a new game.
Reaaally pisses me off.

Sorry I've been gone for so long. Apparently this thread slipped out of my 'read' tab.
