how do i add slavery to a mmorpg with out making it bad game desigh. any ideas are welcome
how about you lower your ambitions a bit and make something one person could actually achieve
Playing MMORPGs is already slavery, endlessly toiling away for no pay.
>>740921982Are the players the ones enslaving or the ones being enslaved?If the players are enslaving, then have your game have some tasks that can be automated by slaves. If its the players that can be enslaved, then just copy Rebirth from Kenshi and have a place where enslaved players are taken to where they're forced to be a slave until they can figure out an escape.
>>740922103just asking for ideas not really gonna make the game. just curious if it ever been done or if someone has a idea for how it would work without being horrible game design
>>740921982Make it sexual slavery.
>>740922226players enslaving players
>>740922301i had that idea too but my friends aren't that based enough too try that

>>740922347I don't think that would work because you would have a situation where a player would essentially have to agree to be another player's slave and wouldn't just start a new character or turn the game off. For it to work, you would need to have people more or less willingly agree to be the slaves of other people, which is kind of antithetical to the whole ethos of slavery.
>>740922457yeah that is a problem the only way i could think around that was dangling escape in front of them or something like that just keep them engage
>>740921982The only way you could do it is a character timeout.When you capture and enslave another player, the character they're playing on is timed out for a little while and unplayable. They're forced into playing another character.But you'd need to design your game around playing as multiple characters otherwise this mechanic is just edgy retardation added for just being edgy.It also becomes an avenue for trolling which isn't fun anymore when you get flooded with tickets because of targeted capturing and all the bad reviews come in because of it.
Enslaving other players just does not work as a good multiplayer game mechanic unless it's for roleplaying purposes. Nobody's gonna enjoy being on the short end of the stick and they will more than likely just quit out of the game instead of interacting with it, making the entire mechanic pointless.
>>740921982>>740922457>>740923269Basically, you shouldn't ask yourself "Would a game where I get to enslave other players be fun?"Ask, "Would a game where I get enslaved by other players be fun?" and you have your answer.
>>740921982As any mechanic, make it actually affect other systems and it will be peak. Own slaves? Some vendors give you higher prices or refuse to sell you. You gain reputation in the black market in exchange and can access other vendors that way, etc.
For a board with gaymers u guys really have no imagination when it comes to mechanics, just have player slavery act like a massive grind buff, treat it like a boot camp where performing tasks for a period gives u insane amounts of exp so it's actually nice to be a slave for a while until u get diminishing returns then u can think about escaping, this helps the slave for stats and the slaver for automation, gg u dont have to complicate it
>>740922917Player to player slavery won't work. Even if it was just a timeout, I would abandon the game after having my char being slaved by an ugly bastard.
>>740923479Forgot to mention escaping, you could make it fun so u needed like a group of 5 players and treat it like a dungeon where the boss at the end is a copy of the slaver player, just make fun shit man it's not complicated lol
>>740923537I guarantee you would gladly be the slave of a cute loli character specially if they would rp it out
>>740921982i wish i were a slave to a big gnoll girl..
>>740923664This the kind of player who gets immediately raped when playing a female heroin h-game, the kind of player who thinks weapon durability is peak design.
>>740923746Hard pass. I'm not a fag.
adding a hard way to escape and a small exp boost to leveling is prob the best method i can think off
>>740922347>>740922457Make it so that you stop playing that character on enslavement. Play a new one, maybe break the old one out if they have something worth making a commotion for.
my friends wont do this mechanic at all but how would a rapeing mechanic work/be good game design
