Schedules
Added 2018-09-17 01:03:27 +0000 UTCSecond poll:
Schedules: Most important locations themselves are always open(home/farm/portals/brothel), but npc might be different/missing etc.
1. all npcs/actions are always in the same place/accessible (all actions/events etc. have to be completely random)
2. some things can only be done at certain times (2-4 timezones)/possibly different npcs for the same locations/ events make more sense
3. comletely flexible schedules for everything (not restricted to a few timezones)=>possibility for rarer events that need to be hinted at etc.
Comments
its mostly related to npcs/events, so for example some town npcs might just be at their work location for some time each day(location can still be used/maybe replaced by other npcs), and during other times they are at their home/beach etc. where some events could occur. Or stuff like fishing/hunting has different results based on the time. Timezones just mean there are fixed timezones, for example morning, where during that zone you know nothing time based can change

2018-09-19 13:36:59 +0000 UTCI'm not sure I understand the options. Tell me if I'm mistaken: option 1 is what we currently have where everything is the same and all NPCs are always awake. option 2 is what we have for the brothel and farm, you can only send followers there during the morning but every day is the same. Option 3 is the most confusing one. Is it completely random, any character can be anywhere at any time? Is it flexible, events and your actions can change the location of a character, a bit like the new intro of Castalia and Alia where they change location at the start of the game?

2018-09-19 13:01:10 +0000 UTCthose polls are mostly just to get the general opinion on those things, i wouldnt just blindly pick the highest ones if i don't think it works. Also gives a reaon to think more about things i would have easily dismissed, like i initially thought the currently highest one in the movement poll was by far the worst one, and almost didnt put it as an option. But now that i thought more about how that could work, it kinda makes more sense.
