CEP 2.2.......... To be or not to be!

Yes.

Yea...

Would like to have a helmet that I can make look like a hood to my cloak to use when it's raining in falls...

Just a note. There will need to be a clear consensus on this. Please vote and voice your opinion if you have one.

Also to point, 2.2 is a pretty standard hakpack required but it adds alot of visuals that would add "common sense" to RP. Example would be what I suggested about the hoods to cloaks. Another thing is the weapons it will add also. Always wanted to play a barbarian with a maul or falchion (sp?) within the Daggerdale setting and I feel for Tibby and those who like eye candy alot, it gives builders more options to use in the toolset. I'm all for this and the mere thought of Daggerdale with CEP just makes me just want to just give up WoW for DD.

Before I vote, I'd like to know the downsides as they aren't as apparent, especially the subject of whether it effects the gaming fluidity, because I hate choppy/laggy play.

I vote no. CEP is way too unstable, loaded with crap, laggy as fuck and most of the stuff just looks plain bad.

I will say this: Before I put the server live with it, I would test it first, likely running it in the Tech area off of my playing computer to see what it did. Then, I would prolly put it up on the DD computer to see for a bit.

I'm saying yes if for nothing more then the extra crafting options. It'll be nice to be able to have everyone look a little different then just the 3 choices you're given while making clothes or whatever. Have to agree with whodatis though in regards to the testing, will need to see if it causes horrible lag or not.

A test run using it would CERTAINLY be in order.As for Venerates reservations,I personally have played a few CEP servers that ran perfectly fine.As for things that look horribly bad? Well I am all about things looking proper and using it in the most realistic fashion possible.It's of the utmost imporatnace to me.One final thing that I would like to reiterate.I WILL NOT CLOG up the server with a bunch of useless shit.Pardon the French.I keep to the old addage of K.I.S.S. ...Keep It Simple Stupid.I know alot of over zealous builders get there hands on it and all of a sudden things are waaaaaayyy to flashy, too many useless items...etc. etc. It is my goal to present to you all the Daggerdale Community the best possible, most realistic, visually stunning w/o going overboard game playing experience from a builders standpoint as possible.Either way this poll goes is fine with me.But IMHO and others I know as well have expressed the desire to breathe new life into the server as it has become stagnant and far too predictable.In achieving that mission I have to express opinions and approach different avenues to ensure the servers success and the happiness of the players.So in that regard my first request was to be able to use CEP.Hopefully it will all work out just fine.If not *shrugs* I will do the best to work with what I am given.Thanks for your time and interest in this subject.Have a good one everyone.

Tibby is right though... As long as he doesn't go overboard with the flashy, guddy stuff, we'll no need to worry about lag whatsoever. I trust tibby in his building and he does not, I'll gladly repeat myself, -does not- go overboard with useless shit nor make it all flashy...

How very strange...

I think to myself... 'Perhaps my next character should have a violin. Oh wait! We need CEP for that.'

Then I see this ...

Either way it goes, shrug. I can do fine with or without CEP.

The CEP could deffinatly add flavor and uniqueness to characters on the server. I trust that before it would be implimented that it will be thuroughly tested to ensure it will not affect game play.

If it proves to have little impact to load/crashiness/laginess on the server, then sure. But please put a link for the CEP on the forum.

If the CEP causes crashes and slows the load time or causes lag issues, then I would prefer to do without.

I agree whole heartedly.

CEP is a great hakpak that allows for variety in character look and development. With CEP, the crafting system expands 3 fold and you never see a different person wearing the same outfit. The outfits also add to the RP element as well when one uses hats, instruments, and hoods to give a deeper depth to their characters. I've played a number of CEP servers myself and found no lag or issues among them so I am sure it should not affect Daggerdale in a large way. Still, testing it out first is the wisest decision! I just like it for the crafting customizations and maybe some of the new weapons availible..

This poll will run through Friday, Jan. 2. If you wish to vote or comment, do so by then. At that time, we'll review the comments and make our decision.

Poll closed. CEP will be going in when the build staff can get it implemented. This is by no means a license to go crazy. No glowing objects will be allowed, or anything that isn't setting appropriate. If a DM tells you it doesn't work, you will be expected to change the weapon immediately.
