Skateboards in wurm

Recommended Posts

There is no 'era' that has dragons and magic. Your argument is nonsense.

Um... Wurm Online takes place during the Medieval era. The fantasy in the game fits the era.

I think giving players the ability to use skateboards would upset the balance for PvE - with the increased movement and the ability to block damage with the board during stunts.


 


If this gets implemented, trolls should get roller skates and hockey sticks and spiders get stilts to make up for the additional capabilities handed to the player base.


 


Obviously this change could potentially draw a huge crowd in who had to go to skateboard-specific games before.

Klaa has a point skateboarding became popular as a way to imitate surfing, hence 'Sidewalk Surfing'.  So we must first implement waves, surfing, and sidewalks before considering this item.  :P

Brought this up within this thread a while ago. Don't make it sound like your idea now.

Also they would be more appropriate to this timeframe, since the Hawaiian's (Polynesian's) and maybe even Peruvian's were using them way before this time.

 

Only limitations here would be the flat oceans with no currents to speak of for easier paddleouts. Would be a good player draw though if they could create perfect waves designed for simulated tube riding and of course the Surfing skill necessary to un-kook oneself. Then again it might draw too many undesirables to the game.

 

Hang 'em, Brah! (the undesirables too!)

-3 for being a fundamentally poor attempt to reward an idea that doesn't fit the theme/era of the game. Shame on you Tineen.

Can't believe this troll thread is still alive

It must be killed, with fire.

Indeed the ability to shred would drastically impact the gameplay, and it would completely favor pvp servers more than pve.

Yes, the cheese makers would be very happy with the ability to shred, although it would grate on me.

to all the naysayers DID YOU KNOW that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivionâ„¢ has skateboards in it?? i mean if a AAAA fantasy developer can put that in their game without their nerdy fanbase getting in an uproar... why can't wurm?

Imagine how much more mobile pvp would be. Maybe bonus fs gains when you kill someone have have a sick combo streak going?

I am suggesting putting skateboards in wurm. You would use stamina to ride it and it would go really slow on grass and fast on roads.

Thoughts?

this is a medieval game skate boards dont belong as they did not exist till the late 1940s, or early 1950s

nobody ever took the sides off a wooden wheeled mine cart and rode it around, no one ever slapped 2 wheels on a plank and tried to balance on it, and most certainly, no one ever used a small wheel. these things just didn't happen until at least the year of our wurm 1950.
