I was thinking about it, and although the news says more hearts will be added in the future, and I don't think it is a great idea. PKing in this game is slow and tedious, and it can take ages to kill somebody because of connection and other things. On many of the PC servers, more hearts is countered with ways to kill people faster and different damage amounts per weapon, but this is not the case here. EVERYTHING does 0.5 damage here, and having more than the default 3 hearts would make PK even more of a chore. And NO, I do not want more hats and "filler" quest rewards, but maybe something tangible with a purpose, (like the bug net) like the power glove would be a better reward all things considered. Not trying to be a stick in the mud, but the way iclassic is currently would not work well with more hearts.


*typo in the name, not supposed to be "are"  

did you know that if the add hearts they will add sword powers too? And that would make the game more enjoyable :0  

Counter: New weapons will be introduced?

Yeah, if they added sword powers it would be a lot better, Im just saying if iclassic kept its base mechanics more hearts is not the way to go. They haven't changed things to that extent in the past but I would love to see sword powers implemented.  

As of now pk is sword spam, I think the game is slowly moving in a direction away from that and I think more hearts may make sword spamming less efficient. Thus making pk require a bit more talent.  

It really depends on the supporting details.  

I always liked Classic because it was the perfect no one is left out.

If you add health items and new weapons it will just be another Era.

I think weapons are a really bad idea, but stuff like extra hearts would be great if they weren't sold in a shop and were acquired through a small quest or a in a game like archery. Just as long as you don't have to spend hours working or resort to buying packs.  

if they will make it the default way (at least i think its the default version), you will have less hearts the lower your ap is, even though you can actually have more. hard to explain right now, but heres a quick example:

your ap is 80+: you will have the full amount of hearts you have obtained so far
your ap is 50+: you will have half the amount of hearts you have obtained so far
your ap is ~10: you will only have 3 hearts, as thats the minimum

I don't agree, you can't really compare them because if new weapons are added to Classic it will be through questing, not buying them from shops. Quests are accessible to anyone and it makes the game an actual game with a purpose.

Ever since I started watching the development of Classic iPhone people have always asked what the purpose was. I remember lurking TouchArcade where Stefan said that quests would be added, but then he said that they would be playermade quests, and that stuff just didn't happen. Still, people have always sought a direction from the game, even now, and it will be given one through questing. This will not be questing for hats. Weapons are always introduced with an element of balance, especially within this 'Zelda' style setting. They have their pros, they have their cons, and a conscious effort to maintain that balance would be made.

as long as we dont have to use our real money most of us earned I am fine with quest for guns since everyone can do it and as long as the weapons are overpowered or the hp is way up.

Well, I can tell you now that you will never be expected to pay for new weapons that are not just skins of your existing weapons.  

If we're getting sword upgrades, can we get sword beams?

Well duhh its classic they pretty much have to have recolored everything but I could see you must have the weapon first to go in the area for the camo.

I hope we can hold you accountable for this. Classic is one of the only non pay to win games, making it merely skill, which many MMORPG's lack.
