Server settings to be more detailed/gameplay via settings

Simply as implied by title a better description of what the setting does and when adjusting the setting how the change is. I want my own server but a lot of the settings are confusing and I am already trying to test and use the settings offline.

I also believe based off something I said before that if a lot of the in game features was server toggle on and off it would allow more freedom and creativity and possibly freelancing coders to help you make stuff work smoother. I noticed a lot of the server settings are actually pretty in depth and that it seems like a lot of features or game play is adjusted and implemented though this which could cause problems if it’s not all done via server settings, however I am no expert and its simply my speculation and opinion and suggestion that you try the idea out maybe it would work for Funcom.

Good example is the sandstorm feature. It is majestic to witness. However, I was disappointed about how it worked so that sadly pressured me enough to deactivate it.

I would activate it if I got these following settings to tweak:

  • health subtraction on / off
  • swap damage % / fixed p rate
  • subtraction dot / cut
  • subtraction dot adjustment slider
  • subtraction cut size
  • speed handicap on / off
  • swap movement % / fixed p rate
  • handicap dot / cut
  • handicap dot adjustment slider
  • handicap cut size
  • sandstorm blinking on / off
  • swap blink random d spot / nearby d spot
  • blink distance adjustment slider
  • sand creature spawns on/ off
  • sand creature pool range slider
  • sand creature spawn rate slider
  • sand boss spawn on / off
  • sand boss spawn on chance / action
  • sand boss pool range slider
  • sand boss spawn chance slider

Yes to all of that but many more toggles need to be there as well for to many for me to list but I believe all of these are great starts I believe this game would excell so much more with all aspects of the game adjustable with server settings, realism settings, difficulty settings, weaponry settings, building health settings etc. I believe its easier to code I believe it would be a new way to make MMO private servers and just private server games more appealing such as this.

I MAY post my ideas later when my eye sight focuses at bit more as looking at your phone when you wake up is not great lol!

I would be willing to sacrifice some graphical fidelity to make room for everything else. A cartoonish style isn’t so bad when it’s done properly.

Agreed Borderlands 1-2 and soon to be 3!

Soon to be, yes. I think I’m waiting a year or two before buying though. So questioned situation around that game is that I want to be absolutely sure if I like it or not. :sweat_smile:
