Erupting volcanoes

[Moleman]

While watching an interview with Jesse Rapczak i herd them talking about pushing people into volcanoes, this got me asking. do the volcanoes erupt, turning that part of the island into a more inhospitable area?

Wait, volcanes?

So wait, this means I can carry people with my flying dino and drop them in volcanoes?

yes

I want to see a monster in the volcano.

I am not 100% certain if we'll have the volcano actually working at EA, I think it's on the list, but I'm not 100% sure.

In any event, we definitely plan to have the volcano be full of lava and kill people who land in it, etc. We also want to experiment with things like eruptions or other large-scale environmentals, but we sincerely have no idea how that will go over or if we can do it in a cool way.

We'll be trying, though!

When a volcano erupts there could be a huge ash cloud that disrupts visibility for hundreds of metres for 30 mins or something, kinda like making it night time even though it could be day. But just for some hundreds of metres from the volcano.

As for lava maybe it could just flood right round the volcano and possibly cave system killing everything around the volcano then just dissipates after a few minutes.

What happened to the left hand?

It never knows what The Right Hand is doing.

You're not sure if you can make a volcano erupt in a cool way? ^^; Dude.... volcano! They're always cool! xD

But seriously, if that is planned, make it something big and epic if you can, not something lame. A volcano erupting should be felt all over the island and be everyone's immediate concern. Honestly, it would be cool if it anhililated half a (random) forest in a lava flow which then grew back over time, but I know how difficult that would be. xD just an example.

Maybe add a boss in the volcano and then it can only be awakened by throwing in sacrifices... *evil-laugh*

I think an actual erruption would cause every pc (or/and server) to melt, with all the ashes and lavastreams and flying rocks etc. But perhaps it is possible to add a slow version with just some lavastreams. Like in that video: http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/nov/13/hawaii-kilauea-volcano-lava-pahoa-video

an erupting volcano could be used to add very rare materials. the lava coming up could contain precious metals/stone that would entice the entire server to take part in an eruption.

Excelent point, it would be a really good way of finding really rare material.

Couldn't they simulate it, what I mean is do your suggestion with the slow moving lava streams and they could change the sky to make the map appear darker and to simulate an ash cloud. Also when getting too close to the source then they would add things like falling pyroclastic rock. Do you think if they localized the most intensive effects it might reduce the strain on peoples systems.

if you push enough people its bound to blow up in your face some time ..... *pushes sleeper over the edge*

How about metal runs now? I usually go to the volcanos to get 'em
