Still, you wouldn't start drinking a potion in the middle of a fight. At least make it so whilst drinking/eating/whatever, you are unable to defend yourself.

We're talking about a game/gamemode, not real life. It's about making the gameplay as good as possible.
It's how most mmorpgs and rpgs work. Without being able to use potions you would die easily, unless you got some kind of healing spell to use.

Well this isn't most mmorpgs.
Healing after a battle is fine, but if I were playing, I would get frustrated if the enemy kept magically obtaining 60 HP during a battle.

From what I've seen and heard, it is an MMORPG. It's even said so in the OP aswell as the walkthrough gameplay video.
No, that doesn't mean it has to be like the other mmo's. But as I said, it's a matter of good gameplay.

World of Warcraft for an example has a cooldown on using potions. You can only use on potion in each combat. The npc enemys are rarely using potions, but instead healing spells with cast times.
Diablo2 on the other hand does not have a cooldown, but there's barely any PvP and the npcs you're fighting aren't using potions.
Instead of making the potions give a specific health value, you could make them restore like 20% health instead.
You still don't instantly regain 60hp by instantly drinking a potion at the same time as trying to kill someone with a big sword... but since not many people want realistic MMOs, w/e.

Think of it this way: You've just finished killing an enemy npc, and survived with 20% health. Another npc/(player?) shows up and starts attacking you. It would be useful to heal up a little bit instead of dying.
This isn't real life stop getting so annoyingly technical. I'm pretty sure being able to hold ten watermelons isn't realistic either but it works so stop complaining.

Exactly. Being able to only carry one watermelon wich must be dropped during combat would be frustrating. It's surely a matter of gameplay.
To make it clearly, Yes i am adding a small combat state on a player so all non-combat abilities and items cannot be used. This is just disabled currently for testing.
PS: People says i should make a short login screen and a creation page so you can decide what professions and skills and model you want to use. I'm just wondering if i should do it. What do you think about it people :D?

you mean so you can have multiple characters or so your character can only be able or best suited to say 5 professions rather than being able to use them all?
[QUOTE=Kirrimir;15486695]you mean so you can have multiple characters or so your character can only be able or best suited to say 5 professions rather than being able to use them all?[/QUOTE]
More likely multiple characters as someone suggested in some page or PM.

Yes, go for it! Being able to customize and choose skills upon creating a character is a must for this gamemode. :)

I think that would be a nice addition.
When is a server going to be up?
The Living Rock npc/creature looks amazing. I hope you create more custom creatures like that. Living Water would be nice if you could create some cool particle effects for it.
[QUOTE=themaw;15480839]You never really gave me anything to Old Age or any ideas to Old Age. So you are not in the credit list.[/QUOTE]Yeah not directly to Old Age but what I'm getting at is maybe the idea came down the line somehow?
First impressions:
Needs more sepia tone and colour correction.
Unless they have a purpose, get rid of the fade-out gradient bars on the edges of the screen. They do not look good at all.
Otherwise, it looks awesome.
first off, great job on old age. this looks like you've put a lot of your time and effort into this project. the detail is amazing, and i love the music. ok now i have some ideas for this project.
Naval PvP
destructible ships(in PvP)
food unusable in combat. instead, use potions.
skill bar/hot bar
Classes:
Bard(the bard is a morale booster. his passive songs provide positive bonus' to the party members)
Marksman(the marksman is a long range combatant. he strikes his foes dead-on with perfect accuracy and lethality from a distance.)
Warrior(the warrior is a natural party leader. his strikes are to be feared by the most brutal enemy's and can often hold his own in a fight.)
Cleric(the cleric is a holy man. he plays a vital role in keeping his party members and himself healthy and ready for the next battle.)

To your ideas people have suggested a sea war with player made ships on oceans. also player owned wagons for transport. Ships used for sea wars can also be used as a fishing boat so it is a definetly.
you would have to find someway for people in boats not to be able to attack things on the land. As i doubt the monsters on land can go into the water and attack your boat?
[QUOTE=themaw;15470290]Right now fokes am practising Faceposing the NPCs :) I also need a modeller who can animate some models so i can use them in Old Age. I haven't been able to find one anywhere.[/QUOTE]
Checked fpsbanana.com? Tons of 'em on there. :P
To those who have been in my server recently:
Added a scoreboard for tab and changed hotkeys for inventory and menu to
Menu: left ctrl + c
Inventory: left ctrl + q
