    Big battle. Only the strongest caravan survives! But honestly, is it even possible for that to happen?
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    since players can attack caravans  yes it  possible 
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Pretty sure that caravans can't collide.
    Caravans are scheduled in advance.
    Most likely in a manner that will prevent such a collision.

    Or.... baby caravans?

    I was just thinking about caravans. Isn't there going to be a lot of trading going on? So that means there will be 10 caravans on the road at any time in each direction. 20 caravans on the road at the same time all day like a highway? Or more maybe. 50 caravans on the same road at the same time. A steady stream of caravans all day long?

    Ooh we could make one caravan loot from another. well, that's ....fun.

    With only about 10k players per server, I'll wager that most caravans will be Node Quest driven at first. So no telling. As more Nodes develop there will be more and more caravans.

    Player driven trade caravans with server pop at 10k? A few a day would be the most I would think depending on how much players can coordinate. We'll see I suppose.

    Caravans are scheduled in advance. There might be 10 to 50 caravans traveling in one direction, depending on the amount of goods and the number of traders working together to ensure their goods are adequately defended. I doubt that a caravan from another direction can be scheduled at the same time - such that there could be a collision... even of the combatant bubble. But, we will see.

    If we're around for it, we pull out our lawn chairs, start eating popcorn and enjoy the show of physics collision going on.  lol

    Good collision mechanics allow moving things to pass through each other if they are not engaged in combat. Caravans may just pass like that. With the PVP bubbles being the complicated part. They also mentioned that there would be choices for routes and scheduled timing. I doubt it will be any kind of issue.

    The npcs are probbaly not hostile to each other. Unless there is player involvement. That would be my gues.

    Hmm.. so like a bus schedule thing? If you want to send your goods to town B you  pick the caravan leaving at noon and put your goods on it with other people, or you can pick the next caravan leaving at 12:30 instead.

    If you have a scout with your caravan then they can tell you about the coming caravan and you can pull off the side for a break or something, maybe?

    I see an avenue for implementing an insurance agency into the game  :D
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    This should be a mini game "grand thief caravans" 
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    They form.......MEGA CARAVAN!

    The universe begins to implode and intrepid studios spontaneously combusts. If only they had the foresight to prevent this tragedy.

    a new node is born :D

    Two Caravans Collided in a yellow wood.
    And sorry I could not pillage both
    And be one bandit, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it drove in the undergrowth

    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence
    Two Caravans collided in a wood, and I-
    I took the one less guarded by,
    And that has made all the difference.

    The only scenario where this would seem to be an issue would be with crossroads. Say if two caravans are traveling to two separate nodes and happen to intersect at the exact time.

    It would technically mean that the players on both sides would be forced to fight a each other as everyone would enter the static aggro radius and be flagged for combat.

    they say 'good day sir' and go there separate ways

    The horses would meet and breed and leave you all in the dust as they go frolic in the near by meadows.

    This is how all my dates end up, but not horses, just my date and the waiter

    Obviously they explode violently, Michael Bay style.
