Expansion ideas?

[mutilations]

Okie so we have ideas for patches, and a lot of them are very good. So let's use our brilliant minds to spill out some expansion ideas that would make this game even better.

Ever see that crumbled up archstone in the Nexus and wonder what stage that could have been? I know I have. I know there should be some kind of side quest or even separate expansion that has you rebuilding that archstone through some kind of crafty magical means and it will take you to another part of good ole Boletaria. What kind of stage should it be? Well I leave that for everyone else to lay down their thoughts.

Also, if you guys/gals want to.. put down any other ideas for a great expansion. It would be nice to see what everyone can come up with.

[RunBeagleRun]

I'm sure it would probably run the risk of shifting the game's emphasis too much towards an MMORPG type quality, but a lobby of some sort would be nice. A place where all players could get together, show off their armor, organize trades, etcetera, in a non-combat area.

If there ever was to be some sort of DLC for this game, though it is quite doubtful, I think the missing "Land of the giants" archstone would be a no-brainer world to introduce.

[NeverFinal]

I have noticed this archstone that was mssing, "land of the giants". Seems like theres no lore or and knowledge to what has happend to this area of the world. Its pure black world tendency so it makes you wonder. This game would soar if there were expansions or patches. I would like to see an expansion to the online play, lobbies like what the poster above me said. PvP for both revived body forms would be an ideal thing for me. Souls to bet for pvp...ect...ect....cmon i really hope theyll do something.....

IA place where all players could get together, show off their armor, organize trades, etcetera, in a non-combat area.

I don´t think a trade center would be necessary, it´s not that hard to farm weapons and ores once you beat NG...but yeh that´s an idea, would even point Nexus for the gathering place if it had a bigger area :idea:
Anyway here are my ideas, I´ll write down on a simple way:
> PVP archestone (solo pvp and guild wars)
> Unique weapons/armor/magic for each class
> weapons with plague status (only baby´s nail has plague status) or ores that gives plague status on upgrades
> Armor upgrades
> Guild/Clan system
> Friend/enemy list
> maybe a Friend/guild communication with headset if it´s possible

it has already been confirmed to be the land of the giants, beyond that there are no plans to add it to the game as of now.

[mutilations]

I understand that is was supposed to be the "Land of the Giants" but the story never gave any clues as to what the land was or anything. I was just wanting to have some fun with it and see if users could be creative at coming up with a background story or something for it.

Either way, I doubt that an expansion would be in the works for this game (most suggestions just seem to make this like any other typical MMORPG) but the thought would be nice. ^.^

I agrre 100% with this so :grouphug:

[Milesaru]

Some mercury weapons have plague damage as well btw.

[Shimizoki]

really? I was under the impression they only had poison.

[Gamefanatic]

1. An in game guide to weapon upgrades and the effects that using ore has on them would be very helpful.

2. The ability to upgrade armour and alot more armour types.

3. The ability to design your own emblem for shields. (or at least have a library of pre-built emblems to choose from).

4. I think they should expand on the tutorial level. It's already a nice design, just make it bigger.

5. Character customization beyond just the face and hair. Height, weight, other character types such as Elves, dwarves, etc.. The ability to play as any bipedal enemy after you beat the game would be nice too. I'd love to play as the Giant Troll for instance.

[Demondays]

elves,dwarves and giant trolls??

Like those havnt been used a million times before.

Upgrade armour is a good idea, being able add magic def and +magic pwr and stuff like that would be great.

Yes Demon, Elves and Dwarves have been used before, and in plenty of games, what is the point of your statement? The fact is they aren't in THIS GAME and those character classes go with the setting in Demon's Souls. Instead of being a sarcastic prick, you could offer other types of characters that you might want to see in the game. This thread is for ideas for an expansion, not to shoot down ideas from others and be an all around A-hole. :)

Yowza....Some threads are getting very testy around these parts today....:D

(Not that it was uncalled for.....)

I know right...frikkin people 'round here lately with the sarcasm and rude behavior, it's getting out of hand. It's easy to ignore when it's someone else, but when it's done to you, something has to be done about it. :-P

Aren't there any moderators here? It's becoming a free for all in the insults department lately.

Sarcasm? me? never.

sorry for shooting down your perfect idea.

ds is a great game and very unique - adding such thing like elves and all that lore which is used in EVERY ####ING RPG GAME would just kill it for me, its just an obvious fact that they are over used and very boring.

[DarrenHollywood]

The game needs a dragon that will get pissed once you've shot it in the face 3 dozen times. Once pissed the dragon changes it's flight path or lands and then melts your arrow flinging face off. :)

I just want another world. Give me new archstones to reach in the existing worlds and unlock the Land of Giants.

More items, more upgrade stones, more spells, more souls!

The dragons lacked something...

I wish they had more action to them, like not being limited to one part of the map and having more attack patterns.

red dragon and blue dragon were jokes when you knew how they worked.

[theProdigy1]

hopefully they will come out with a server selection, because i have been trying to play this game with a friend forever now and we never end up in the same server no matter how many times we exit the game and come back in. we ARE around the same level and everything :(

[Arkhaine]

Heh you beat me to the punch with this thread by a few hours, but I like that others have ideas like this as well.
Here are my ideas;
1. Ability to sell items I haven't noticed any merchants that you can do this with and it doesn't make sense for me to keep the "female only" armor that I have found with my male toon.
2. A better way to use the emotes, the directions that they say to move in to do emotes don't seem to work well, or just chat in general (it's annoying when you summon a phantom into your world and they just run off and do their own thing.)
3. I agree that opening up the Land of Giants would be cool too.
4. I don't know if it's something that is already available, haven't been playing a long time, but I noticed 4 unused slots in the pantheon shouldn't those be used to be able to see the stats of your characters?
5. A general patch to fix summoning issues, many times it fails or people get dropped in the middle of boss fights.
6. I agree with the dragon statements, if you shoot a dragon it should turn its attention on you instead of just continuing its scripted maneuvers.
7. Some real side-quests that have you re-entering realms and searching for things with changes in enemies strength, behaviors, etc. in the realms when you go back to do these quests.

Are you both playing the north american release? Because you do know the NA version and Asian versions don't share servers right?

[theProdigy1]

yeah we are both using the NA version. sometimes he sees my stone but it disappears when he walks up to it but i never pick it up lol

1. Yes
2. Use the D-pad, Yes Chat.
3. Yes
4. I cant see the pantheon... I want that to be fixed
5. Might not be a bug, but a connection issue
6. Would make the fight impossibly difficult, but I like it
7. Yes, I dont like how the game is so linear and while you can do things in a different order there is no real deviation.

[Arkhaine]

2. Use the D-pad, Yes Chat.


I have tried this thinking it would work better, but it just ends up either using items or changing equipment even though I am holding the X button

[Shimizoki]

hmmm, maybe its the right analog stick? I know there is a way to just scroll through them. I cant remember what it is of the top of my head though

1. It WOULD be nice, but I like giving hand-me-downs to other players and friends; adding a sell value will only create selfishness. But I do admit, having 30 knight swords CAN get a bit annoying :(

2. Yeah, I find myself having to hold X for an hour to get the menu up (call me retarded, but i wouldn't mind a new system)

7. Looks fun too, wouldn't mind some more side quests like 5-2 & 5-3 (forgot the names for them :( )

[Shimizoki]

I like how you can save NPCs and such, and tendencies kinda are side quests, plus there is Mephistopolies or whatever his name is. It would though be nice to have more depth to the game, it almost seems to shoot after you beat it once because of its lack of branches to take (besides upgrading weps and stuff)

I understand that, but you can't even do hand me downs either. So either one would be nice.

[Fuel]

DIdn't read everyone's post but, a cool expansion would be to allow users to fix, what WOULD be would 4, since it non-playable at the moment.

[Bizmal]

Someone had to say this before. but simply to allow freinds to play together would rock or atleast adding a freinds only soul mark. I would love to simply play with my freinds in soul form or not.

Keep the difficulty up HIGH people UP HIGH.

[CorpusDelecti]

Land of the Giants is a definate must, however I may not have read ALL of these ideas here, I did notice that noone pointed out the Downloadable Desktop BG from the Demon's Souls website, that seems to be based on DUN DUN DUN! GIANTS! Might be a possible artistic rendition by FromSoftware, or Atlus about the Land of Giants.

[Arkhaine]

I just thought of another feature that would be nice, the possibility of saving prefab character appearances.
