Should we include a function so that you can /check someone out when you see them? This would display a small window with info about them.
Types of things displayable:
- Player name and level
- NPC Gym badges earned (and whether or not they were repeated on hard mode
- Clothes and equipment they are wearing
- Optional by player - Pokemon currently in party
- Number of pokemon seen/owned
- Highest level of pokemon owned
- Tournament standings, such as tournament points (if points are awarded for placing), or the top one or few placings achieved
- Home town / affiliation - this is not necessarily set at the start of the game, afterall you can move house or change your nationality
- Items in inventory that are for sale (possibly with the ability to buy automatically)
- Custom short "/check message" written by player
- etc.
Probably a good idea to add the ability to go /anon, which would hide everything except your name and what clothes you are wearing.
-
If it's doable (which im sure it is), i think they should implement it by all means.

•Player name and level
•NPC Gym badges earned (and whether or not they were repeated on hard mode cool your implementing it! :-D
•Clothes and equipment they are wearing
•Optional by player - Pokemon currently in party
•Number of pokemon seen/owned
•Highest level of pokemon owned
•Tournament standings, such as tournament points (if points are awarded for placing), or the top one or few placings achieved
•Home town / affiliation - this is not necessarily set at the start of the game, afterall you can move house or change your nationality
•Items in inventory that are for sale (possibly with the ability to buy automatically) neat idea!
•Custom short "/check message" written by player[ should be shown when PM him :-) ]
-
I didn't say we would implement hard mode, I have no idea if we will as it's not up to me. Also, I know a lot of people would want to brag about how many pokemon they have seen or captured :P Aaaand, the check message would be maybe 100-200 characters, which would be way too much for a PM type thing imo. But thanks for the support ^^/
-
mh. yea it would be cool if you could see that. but its not essential, isnt it? and /check message shouldnt be 200 chars long. who the hecks writing 200 chars of his personal status :-D
or do you mean kinda: personal information about the trainer?
-
Check message is like a forum signature. It would appear at the bottom of the check window, not in the chat box.
This is what 200 characters looks like:
Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text. Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text.
Not as much as it sounds, right?
-
for status: it is^^
for personal infos: it isnt ;-)
i thought you mean kinda status messages like: afk - eating and so on...
something you change often :-)
but i would like to see something like an personal info. a signature like you already said.
-
Having status messages is a good idea too. I hadn't thought of that.
-
You could have basic stats and extended stats. A player would see the base stats straight away but if they wanted to see more, maybe you could have some sort of permission system where the other player choose whether you see it or not.
Also I think showing the other player what pokemon you have on your team takes away the element of surprise and mystery thats part of the fun of battling. Maybe there could be just a blank image with the level next to it.
Or maybe just the level of the strongest pokemon, as shown in the first post.
-
Yes
- NPC Gym badges earned (and whether or not they were repeated on hard mode
Yes
- Clothes and equipment they are wearing
No
- Optional by player - Pokemon currently in party
Nah not in-game. We're going to have a feature on the website which will create a "trainer card".
- Number of pokemon seen/owned
Nah, maybe on the site
- Highest level of pokemon owned
No real info here
- Tournament standings, such as tournament points (if points are awarded for placing), or the top one or few placings achieved
Nah, maybe on the site
- Home town / affiliation - this is not necessarily set at the start of the game, afterall you can move house or change your nationality
Hmm, you don't really have a home town since you're not born in our region :P
- Items in inventory that are for sale (possibly with the ability to buy automatically)
Nope, for trading (sell) you'll have to be online to interact with the buyer
- Custom short "/check message" written by player
You'll get a message when you receive a PM
[/list]

why dont you want to show clothes and equippement? especially that would be cool^^ such as a liitle preview of the char your looking at!
the charscreen could look like
Player / Pokemon / PvP at the top.
and the idea to make a 'trade-bag' is very cool. So you can see at a glance what the player want to sell. for that he has to be online, thats sure :-P
-

I dont think anyone would care about what another player is wearing. So listing the player's clothes would seem a bit too much. (Unless the PU team plans to release an incredibly large selection of clothing.)
Besides that, I really like all of the other "examine player" option proposals.
Whether they're in-game or on the PU site, Im alright with it.
-
Oooh, I love this idea! Every other MMO I've played that has this feature makes the game much more in-depth and fun. Besides, it's fun to look at other people, especially when you're bored in a town. xD
-
There will be a very large array of clothes available, and potentially earnable through quests. If I was an actual person walking around in the world, it's kind of silly that I can't see what someone is wearing. Not sure why dark doesn't want us to show off our trophies or pokedex completion, I know I'd love to do that. I really don't like having the site as a major part of the game, it takes away from the immersion. Plus we need some way of trading when you're not face-to-face, whether it's an auction house, a trade-bag, or both. It is very impractical to expect someone whose business is selling something basic and high volume like pokeballs to be online long enough to make enough sales, let alone to go to every customer. I don't wanna play travelling salesman, I want to train my pokemon.

Actually, a lot of players do look at other players gear. It's almost like a guide for them to know whats good and whats bad, etc. Also, its for eye candy too.
Edit: Implementing the option "show all" or "hide all"

I agree. I'd like to have something like a character info where I can maybe possibly search up the players name ingame and it'll show me his info. Or maybe instead of search engine, right clickin the player is fine too.
Plus we need some way of trading when you're not face-to-face, whether it's an auction house, a trade-bag, or both.
Yeah, Dark said we're having an auction house where we can sell off our items plus pokemon.

About the clothes, why not asking the trainer: "hey, what are you wearing?" =P
I know, it's sort of awkward, but if you really want to know what clothes is the trainer wearing... ::) I think that only the ones who 'bought' an expensive clothing would want to say it.

That's an OK idea, but I'm afraid some trainers will be rude and just go on like no one asked a thing... :-\
I think, that we shoud be able to see the average level of pokemon that person has with him/her, to make shure that player vs. playes battles are fair.
-
I mmo's that i've played i always feel that a player inspection option was a good idea so yea, i think it shud be put in, also that one about the average pokemon lvl, i like that it would make pvp more fair knowing that your not challanging someone with pokemon 10 times stronger than yours, lol.
-

What would you do if trainers ask you what are you wearing each step you make? ::)
I was saying you could ask the trainer himself/herself because not everyone wants to 'boast' about what (s)he is wearing.

There will be trainer levels which will take care of that. It has not been said yet, but it may be like you need at most 5 trainer levels difference so that two real trainers can battle.

Well, yes some way to indentify trainer before battleing it, something like that is absolutelly needed, in order to prevent high lv. trainers from beating complete rookies...
-
Like it said before it'll be possible to see other players levels (by clicking on the player).

Very well said, I agree. I know for a fact by the time PU is fully released to the public I won't be online as much as I would like to (college). Those of us who are very busy need some kind of way to sell items without having to stay online for hours. An auction house is definitely the answer, in my humble opinion. And it's not just useful for us, but everyone as well. As for being able to view other players clothing, it would be nice. :)

A friend list so we can keep track of certain characters?And maybe a rival list? Also a deeper decoration system?
