Title: Bonfire Island
Post by: Nyla on April 13, 2011, 03:58:32 pm
This has been bugging me for ages- What's the point of Bonfire Island? More specifically, what's the point of having it as the 'Default'? It's small, it's boring, it's frankly rather ugly, the only portal goes to Ficho Tunnel, which is slightly more interesting, but really REALLY long, if you're trying to get to Fluorite Plains. Once you get to Fluorite, it's another run acoss the map and through the water (beware the headless lions!) to Cape of Distant Worlds. NOW you can get places! Of course, you probably don't have the same maps as your friends, but that's okay! You can always hang out in Fluorite with the wolfaboos and noobs and rapists! No? Oh well, your loss. But wait, what's this? Map glitching? Fell down a hole? No portal out? Never fear, Home Point is here! ...Aaaaand you've neglected to change it to Fluorite or Cape. Back to Bonfire Island we go! Better hope you didn't leave your friends in that map. You did? Oops! time to run back through Ficho and Fluorite and Cape once again. Maybe this time you'll remember to set your home point.

So let's face it. Does ANYONE like having Bonfire Island as Default? Raise your hands. I'd like to see your reasoning.

No-one minds it. I like it since I can go into secluded corners and hide.

Bonfire is probably the default and so plain because it is easy to load... so should be plain. With all those people hanging out there though, who shouldn't be just sitting there, it doesn't really serve its purpose though. XD I think it was meant to be an easy spot to load when you start up the game or after you encounter a bug that makes your computer wack out.

I see nothing wrong with Bonfire Island. Sure, it's small and sometimes laggy, but hey, it's nice! You can always change your home too, you know. ;) I mean, when you're not stuck in a rock, etc.

 I honestly hate Bonfire. xD I have my home set in the Tunnel.
It just pisses me off how most people are too lazy to move out of Bonfire and reduce the lag. I mean seriously, I've seen Red and Rak TRY and clear Bonfire before, no one would leave, then after I saw no one leaving, I left. It's ridiculous how lazy some people are. >.> But that's me. My own opinion.

The points you bring up here about the running is not something that I have any bigger problems with. But!

I don't like having bonfire island as the default map at all.. And there's several reasons to it. I'm actually sortof annoyed by it.

Lets get things straight first, I do not mind the having to reset the homepoint that much, neither do I mind the running or the looks of bonfire, it works ok.

But bonfire, and the general layout of reaching the other maps in the game right now, it's rather... bad if you ask me. Sure, something to put in consideration is that the maps were probably rushed aswell, and that they aren't supposed to have alot of crap loaded into them, but still.. It could have been done so much better in my eyes.

I shouldn't probably mirror all the old IT and how it used to be, but that default map there, it was something that should've been used as a frame for a new FH Default map to be honest even though it was simple.

It was a little more area to move on since it wasn't just a round island, there was more height differences, and a more complicated heightmap in general with small bumps every here and there, hills, ditches and not many, but nicely placed trees and shrubs. Even 1 small waterfall. It was easier to reach other maps just because of more portals, and the need of a "fast travel function" wasn't even big then.

Bonfire is round and smaller, it does pretty much just have one hill with a den ontop, it's not as intresting nor is it fun to be there a longer time. The 1 way out of bonfire is also "sortof" a minus. Alternitives is never wrong.

I'm rather positive if someone just put down some time on making a lil bigger default map with atleast 3 paths to choose to leave from, some more smaller hills, bumps, well placed trees n shrubs, ditches etc. It would give the whole game a new appeal to be honest. Doesn't have to be anything extreme really. This would be gold to be. Ofcourse, having a 3 route start map is probably not that easy either since the version now doesn't even have that many maps. But as mentioned, changes in the future if possible?

I'm sure I have told a few I know already how I'm not pleased with the layout of the maps right now, and I really really hope that the starting map and the layout of how to reach the rest of the game maps will be changed in the future. This doesn't cut it. But it's not like I would die if it stayed this way, I just wish for it to be different.

I'd actually want to make an "unofficial default map" just because it's possible and maybe someone else would catch the drift of what I'm thinking.

The starting map (default, bonfire) is actually the starting map afterall, it's the place everyone will see as soon as they get on the game, and it will be a gathering spot wether people like it or not.

Sorry that I might just talk about pointless things here, but if there's something I'd want more than the actions that existed in IT in FH, it's a new layout for the standard maps and the starting place.

Maybe there could be a contest for a new Bonfire Map and members could help create a new better map. I am not sure who is in charge of the maps, but I have seen members who can make something ten times better than Bonfire, even with the default low-poly items.

^ We actually might be having a map competition but the chance that it will be the new default is low.

i like Bonfire island as a default, and if you set your home to cape or the plains, whitch I made the mistake of doing, how do you get back? Theres a waterfall in the way!
Title: Re: Bonfire Island
Post by: Redlinelies on April 14, 2011, 12:10:05 am
lul, reset home, go home maybe? But then you'd loose your current home ofc.
Title: Re: Bonfire Island
Post by: Ritsuka on April 14, 2011, 12:40:46 pm
How about this...

We switch all the portals INTO Bonfire

Even if it's not a wonderful default and maybe later they could fix it up, you could still get to the other areas easier.

So like they'd be set up together or in different areas of the island.

I know sometimes people enjoy running.. everywhere.. but what if u needa get there before people havta go and since you have to run ALL THE WAY THERE... they havta go?

Why not just have them rreachable in Bonfire? Like you could remove the plains map entrance out of the tunnel, it could be just one big rp area, move the map to the plains some place else in bonfire away from the tunnels entrance etc.

Downloaded maps would still be in the cape ofc, but wouldnt it be easier then running EVERYWHERE?
Title: Re: Bonfire Island

Better putting down some time on making a completely new starting area in that case if you ask me.

Post by: Zaroque on April 14, 2011, 03:59:45 pm
I see what you mean and I slightly agree, but Bonfire is like a ''game'' area in a way, since a lot of people like to hang out there, for instance it's a good place to advertise your RP's Groups or make new friends, yes, there are always going to be some more immatore people than others, it's also a good default.  
Title: Re: Bonfire Island
Post by: Itrenore on April 14, 2011, 06:28:57 pm
Well I personaly like bonfire as the deafult, but sometimes its too laggy, throws me out ans sais its a 'bad token'-and I have an almost NEW laptop... I can't imagine it how ppl with an old and laggy computer are doing this..


Quote
it's a good place to advertise your RP's Groups
All the RPs who search members in the bonfire don't have much luck if you ask me. People there are just too lazy to do anything.. whats the point at going in the game, wait a couple of minutes to see if there is anything interesting, find nothing and just stay in and 'look cool'..

Edit: -I'm not being mean or anything, so please understand-
Title: Re: Bonfire Island
Post by: Redlinelies on April 15, 2011, 06:45:34 am
Bonfire is not the cause of the lag though. The game noms very much cpu performance when playing in a crowded area, and even if you have a decent computer you would have to live with it since there's quite alot players in one space most of the time. Even a change of the map would still cause some lag I'm afraid.

My lion is in the lake because I was running and couldn't stop. Lion falls in, try's to get out, no sign of land. I just want to go back to Bonfire Island. If you got rid of the lake, or made it so that you can only drink out of it if your a lion, then I would be much happier.

I think the game needs a new default, and not just a old height map from I.T with some items threw into it.
I'd like something bigger, something more interesting than a small round island with a hill.
My brand new laptop lags alot there.
But the funny thing is that my good old dinousaur computer nearly doesn't lag.
Title: Re: Bonfire Island
Post by: Motoko on April 20, 2011, 09:49:49 am
tbh, i make tons of maps. if you guys wanna turn one of my thousands of rotting heightmaps into a main map, go right ahead. we need more main maps.
Just give me SOMETHING to do with them all. so my hard work doesn't rot on my harddrive like all my character refs, bios, and pixel art. not to mention flash work and 3d meshes.

since Kyugima told you how to get out the lake, i dont need to do that, but when you run crazy and cant stop, press Q, it happened to me. If you press Q again you run crazy again.

Well in a time of major glitching: I had no lagggggggg on bonfire. No one, and I MEAN NO ONE was there. I knew it was a glitch but I hung around for a while. Remember: I could not see ANYONE! So I had a good look around. And I think its a pretty nice place! Maybe thats just my opinion, but I think the problem is this; People are crowding it was too much, and all you se are nametags. I sometimes cant see the ground because its so crowded! But I really love --bonfire.--  I think its just the behavior of the people that makes us... not like it... as much...

-Raises hand- I wish Bonfire wasn't default. I think Flourite would be a much better default point. Bonfire is constantly chattering, it's good for fun local chat but Flourite leads to more places. Need to go to a friend's map? -Log on Feral Heart- -On Bonfire- o____e Now I gotta go all the way through Ficho and reach Cape island. Bonfire's a good place to chat, Flourite's a good place to roleplay. People have their different opinions, but I think it would be handier to have Flourite as default. At least, it might be easier for all the roleplayers on Feral Heart and not as much fun for the people who like to chat and have a good time with friends on Bonfire. -Cough-EventhougFlouritehasenoughchattering-Cough-

Meh, I want more update-installed maps.... The 'create your own maps and add your own worlds in' is good and all, but it makes spontaneous RPing less fun ._. Somewhere in an excerpt of NyNy's sarcasm I saw something about that XD
Personally I think we need more maps that come with the game, and if not that, more adventurous ones that are already there. The fact that Fluorite Plains is the only large, fairly fun map just gets to me ._. Default in IT was big, RPs could be held there, and all the other worlds where big and fun 83. Bonfire is tuny and... crowded. All other maps are O.K. Ficho gets me though :/ I miss the underwater caverns and what-not. Big World, Lava, Ice! Any of those 8D

I probably got off topic a while ago hurrderp. Basically, a more adventurous and roomy Bonfire, more already-put maps like I.T. (unless theres a good reason not to, which is ok c:), and the ability to place portals in more places other then the furthest map away from the starting point >/ atleast that's what W.G. would wanna see c':

I think that bonfire should be completely wiped in a new patch, and replaced with a way bigger, better, funner one. if people want to hang out in the first island they come to, why not give it fun surprises, things to explore, places to hide, get away, things like that! after all, for newbies who just got FH, first impressions are always the most important! and if they come onto FH and find out it is just one tiny, boring, dinky little island with nothing to do and a hundred swearing players per yard, well, that ain't so good, is it?

Hm.. well sometimes it's really irritating to start in bonfire, I think you need to choose by yourself where you want to start and that you don't need to be in the map to set  home postion, it can be irritating.

And it's small what makes it lagg really fast when you go in it. It needs to be bigger and more detailed so you can RP there aswell.

I have it as my home since there is no other way to get back to it. Once you fall down the waterfall in Ficho Tunnel, your adventure starts and theres no turning back.


Unless you add some rocks that we can jump on to get back up.


Also, why call it "Bonfire Island" when there is no bonfire? lol.

The reason there is no way back is because your not supposed to go back XD The waterfall is there so when people leave bonfire they can't go back and lag it up. It's not a place that your supposed to stay and RP and hang with friends, you're supposed to move on XD

There are days where I love Bonfire, and days when I want to nuke it. I like its atmosphere sometimes, but other times I'm like "I could make something better than this in my sleep." However, at all times, I think this about the default map: Bonfire is a big bowl of lag.

No, really. It's this round trap, with a near-deadly pit of lag at the bottom. It's tiny when compared to Fluorite and Ficho, and that's where I think a lot of trouble comes from. So many players in such a tiny space. And no escape except to try and flee into Ficho. I have no lag when I'm looking AWAY from the bazillion people there. XD I wouldn't mind Bonfire nearly as much if were a bit bigger, so that people were spread out a tad more.

And on the subject of portals... I like the idea of maybe having a portal to the Cape there, as well. It's a hassle running from Bonfire to the Cape right now. "Too bad. Running is cool." There could still be a portal to the Cape in Fluorite, for those who like to go there - but also a portal in Bonfire for easy-access.

I like it as default, although, I don't like the noobs there.
It's a fun place to hang, if it's like, 4 AM and nobody is there, and there's no lag.
Though, you can always go to the deserted areas and hide from them.

I think it's okay, but I think you should be able to choose what map you would like to have as your default, to prevent clutter in one map.
Title: Re: Bonfire Island
Post by: Redlinelies on June 05, 2011, 12:07:22 pm
Some people mentioned earlier that bonfire is too small and it makes a clutter of text.

I'm not sure I see that as a reason for it to be bad as a default map. The default map should on auto be the one map that most people meet in. I want infact that the start map should be packed with people. It's meant to be the start map afterall.

Personally it's how extremely plain the map is, with one direction to go only. 1 island with 1 hill that has 1 den ontop of it with one tunnel entrance. Not saying I want some super flashy default map. But a more intresting heightmap, and more ways to go from the start.

Bonfire does the job for now. But I'm most certain it could've been a lil more intresting than it is.

I guess bonfire island is ok. The ficho tunnel running through it though, You can just prnt scrn into the ceiling as a short cut. And the noobs, wolfaboos K9s, rapists in bonfire, you can always block or report them.

  And this is the reason bonfire is so full of people, most of them are stuck there XD Probably... It probably needs to be made clearer what the portal is and where it is. that way those who go on bonfire and don't know what to do to get to other places don't have to wait for someone to help them figure it out...

  And personally I wish there was a limit for bonfire, like say, 100 people are in bonfire, so it is full, and anyone else who logs in is sent to ficho tunnel or flourite plains...

Post by: Rika_Kitty on June 17, 2011, 04:09:52 pm
I really think that Fluorite should be the default map instead, and just make Bonfire a nice little side map like the Temple of Dreams (and PLEASE make a way to go back to it through Ficho. Seriously!)

It would be a lot more convenient that way since Fluorite is really like a "hub" already.

Post by: Nyan Cat on June 20, 2011, 07:20:00 am
I dont lag on bonfire, so its fine with me (Laptops start hating on computer user) Other than that, Yes bonfire island could be a bit bigger, and having a few more dens on the side would be amazing. The greatest thing about bonfire is the glitch to go up trees. Really feel greatful when people come up to you like ":O how u get up der D: .". Other than that, To escape the lag, just go to the shore or behind the hill. Truly looking off the ledge on a very crappy PC is... a bad idea... period not sure about MACs though. The people in bonfire are just generally teenagers who want to have fun. Or trolls who want to have fun but dont give a thought if someone else has fun with them. And making users angry is their point of being in bonfire. making bonfire into a 700 sized map is a great idea, and having under ground water filled tunnels with cave material is... an amazing idea. I might make a map based on bonfire island in a better version. Yet not making it public. Also lots of fights or den claiming goes on in fluorite and bonfire. So an idea of more caves is great. More than half of feralheart is groups, and most people CANNOT download the new map pack or just an ordinary map. Some cant even upload it, So you have all of these people who mostly want a den to roleplay in thats private.. Also they could add rocks that have little caves inside them, or trunks that have little caves inside them. AKA for warrior cats, a small player, a bunny etc. Not lions or something a bit above the normal sized feralheart player.

Most of my ideas would cause lag. But im not a PC that is a lag fest. Also, making bonfire bigger would be great because... Every day there is about fifty people talking at once or atleast twenty. Especially someone who doesnt speak your language, so running away farther into bonfire is a pretty good idea especially for those getting stalked or trying to flee from godmodders. Ficho is the quietest place I know.  Having some weather in the offical maps from time to time would be amazing... and making more maps that are offical (Note: No new meshes that make a heck of a lag fest for other users that arn't me xD) For example a volcano map, and my friend and I downloaded the map, she had a lag frenzy. XD

I have no idea why I put two posts. Oh and Bonfire island should have a bonfire in the middle, im justa sayin. Also some butterflies at day would be a bit awesome. They dont have collision and only two animations while they drift in a random pattern so dont say "LAG LAG LAG LAG CODE CODE CODE LAGALAGLLGALGALGALGLKLZKLZK" but it would take a lotta coding for these. and at night there is fireflies.

yup. It is possible to get back to bonfire if you know how :) It's kinda nice if you need to find a new group to hang with because that is where everyone starts. either that or you can just set Bonfire as your home.... but what fun is that :) :D

All I'm saying is, I went back to Bonefire Island on Impressive Title yesterday and (apart from picking up so many draw points my character turned into freakin' super-cat), I preferred it with the less clutter it had then. A few trees and literally nothing else. The fireworks as well were a sweet touch.
In the IT days, I used to go to Bonefire to sit, chat, collect draw points (sometimes) and on the odd occasion, hunt. It was brilliant. I'm sorry but I don't think anything will ever replace the old Bonefire and FH will never replace IT :3

Does it really matter?

I don't think so. Bonfire Island is ugly, yeah, but that doesn't mean you have to go in it. It's a good map for arriving in, and really was useful for me when I first went into multiplayer. There were plenty of people there who I could get some information from.

It also keeps the foreigners away from the other maps so that we don't have them in Flourite Plains or Ficho Tunnel as much as we would if there wasn't any Bonfire Island.

In my eyes, Bonfire Island is needed. If you don't like it, don't go in it. I certainly don't.

You know....to some other people, us English speakers are foreign.
Watch how you address different races or accusations could be thrown around, see?
I'm english speaking but I'm Nigerian...techinially, im foreign, I don't take kindly to any sort of discrimination

I have nothing against foreigners, except when they come into Bonfire Island and start speaking to other people of the same language about how stupid the English speakers are.

I'd rather they kept their conversations in Bonfire Island instead of spamming in Flourite Plains about their dislike of the English in their own language so that most of the English doesn't understand them.

Anyway, I'm happy that they stay in Bonfire Island, otherwise their language just seems like spam to people who cannot read it.

^well their not always bashing English speakers, why would they waste their time? You might as well be doing the same as them if you're discriminating ALL foreigners  to 'they should stay in bonfire' (the first post you made was a bit harsh ^^''). And if that's not what you meant by it, then perhaps you need to clarify more beforehand so that you don't accidentally offend someone. D8

and as for the spam, their just having convos in their own language, that's not spam D8 to them our English 'spam' is probably just as annoying XD

Yep! Thats very true :3
Anyway, Bonefire is epic if not a tad clustered, in my view. i think they should have just kept the IT look.
In fact, I think the IT maps should have just been kept and the graphics of the animals updated etc.

Of course they are not always insulting English speakers. I was not saying that all foreigners dislike us English players, but unfortunetely I've heard an few conversations between English players who also speak another language saying that there were some people of a different language talking "behind their backs" about how stupid all these English players are.

And yes, what I was saying was Bonfire Island is needed so that the foreign players can have their roleplays mainly in there, and the English players can have their roleplays elsewhere (mainly in Flourite Plains).

Sorry if I came off as harsh, but that is my nature, hence the lack of karma.

I'm putting it down to racial, cultural, difference inolterance in general. We are all different and I am not going to listen to how Bonefire Island divides people from different cultures and should do like some sort of concentration camp. This is the end of that conversation.

Lol right :3 thanks Foxfang <3

I think they need something like IT's default too XD I agree if the models where just updated and the old maps kept and re-flourished a lil it would be awesome 8D but FH isn't IT, and the mapmaker thing is funner c:

Do think the bonfire island could be more adventurous, though 8P

Yes, but there is a slight problem for Bonfire, there are SOME people who will troll, be rude, wont help others, try to scare the newbies away, and just... Be messed up... You know what I mean, do you?
Title: Re: Bonfire Island
Post by: Headcrabmelon on July 09, 2011, 09:05:35 pm
^ Yes, because Bonfires the easiest place to troll in general. In FP it's much less the case, people still troll, but it's more spread out 83 If not make a new default then atleast making FP default would be nice, but then there'd be an issue of the way Ficho traps people from not going back to Bonfire (unless you do the cheat thing)

The whole point of not being able to go back to Bonfire is so that people can't clog up Bonfire. You leave Bonfire, and you'r done there, you don't go back... But people always get around that anyway, or never even bother to leave.

Maybe I have not been making myself clear enough, it is not the way that I think about it, it is the way that many people think about it. Yes, it can be annoying when there is a load of foreign people in general having a large conversation, and it's annoying for them to have a load of English people to be having a large conversation, it appears as spam to both of the languages, and we all know how irritating spam is!

This is why Bonfire Island is useful. It keeps everyone happy.

Once you get into ficho, run up to a wall and hit print-screen, you get to the fluorite portal much faster, rofl.

Yup, that's exactly what I do, it is so much faster that way.

I just feel like pointing out that english people actually talk as much, if not more bad things about non english speaking people. It's slightly like which team you cheer for in some sport. The bottom line is that this game is for everyone, doesn't matter if you're english speaking or not. As long as the ingame rules are followed there's not much to say about it.

Unfortunately, you are right Red. I'm trying not to make people think that I am being racist, but I feel like I am not succeeding in that.

Anyway, all I am saying is that Bonfire Island keeps everyone content. Nobody has to be split up by the language barrier if they don't want to be.

I'm not sure how many times I'm going to have to repeat this since no-one is really listening.
The OLD Bonfire Island was perfect, it was plain, with just a few trees and none of the bells and whistles that we have today, retore that, without the draw points of course, and I think we're all set to go.

Post by: Ephemeral on July 23, 2011, 06:31:21 pm
I'm pretty sure all these issues with Bonfire Island arose due to the fact that it is the default. So, pretty much you will have the same issue wherever the default is set, because people are too lazy to go anywhere else.

You can get there through a portal in Ficho Tunnel. Go to Lonely Cave then go to the Ficho Tunnel portal. Once through it you'll end up in some water just keep going straight forward, not to the right over the waterfall and you should run into the Bonfire Island portal. Good luck I hope that helps you.

Locking this thread also since it's very old. Please try not to necro old threads hun
