wolf to Fix

[Pokemon Steve]

GENERAL
- One account, one character. With my new skill system, it doesnt matter much what order you get skills in like it does now, you don't have to worry about remaking after having a tradesman cause you can just get an attack later on and not worry because your attack isn't specialized.
- No admins except for Mickey
- Mods are OK, but don't give them much power at all, only muzzling.

SKILL POINTS
- Get rid of specialization, it sucks.
- All players start with Unarmed, all defenses, swim, scan, run, read ancient, assess, sports, climb, deception,  and zero points to spend. (Get rid of all unarmed weapons, fist only.)
- All melee/missle attacks are 6 points
- All tradeskills are 4 points, except blacksmith which is 8
- All magics are 4 points, except black which is 6
- Stealth is 8 points
- Tame is 3 points
- First Aid is 2 points

SKILL BONUSES
- One type of potion, no majors, no ultimas. (+10 to skills, +20 to stats)
- Jewelery bonus of 40 for perks, 20 for lower. (Diamond jewels have a max plus of 40, very rare)
- Get rid of jewerly making, all jewels drop from monsters
- Red magic (Leave plusses how they are but up skill level so level 3 spells take at least 400 red magic)


TRADESKILLS
- More experience, more to do. Every person should have to rely on someone else to get certain items.
- Carpentry should have a huge effect on weaponmaking.
- First Aid should be a weak substitute for white magic.

MONSTERS
- All monsters should have a purpose to be fought, currently all I do is go from wolf, to Dark Siths, to Spat Ooze, to Elven Preistess, to Infernal Machines, to Souls
- Need a lot more missle and magic monsters, 75% of monsters are melee, and its really boring.

QUESTS
- No more squares, put a story into it or something, squares are just leveling zones

OTHER
- Food need to give renewals


I'll add more later.




Ravyns reading this and thinking. OMG no plusses, I want more after Ultima.
Rav you and Jon ruined phobos. You suck. GTFO

Jord? Havn't you had these ideas for years?

[Kaios]

I'd love playing a server setup just like that.

LOVE.

[Pokemon Steve]

yes chrono, no one listens though

[Axeman]

And nobody will listen, let alone Mick doing a new server himself.

I actually don't like the inability to train a weapon from the start.  RPGWO was based on the idea you can be whatever you want to be, trader, mage, swordsman, crossbower and so forth.  Having to work like all hell to get that will only turn away 5 people and maybe get 1 dedicated player out of those 5.  At the rate we're getting new people, it'll only cause more people to leave in the long run.

Everything else is OK though.

[Pokemon Steve]

Itll make it so you can be fighter and have some tradeskills mixed in

[Axeman]

I understand that and I'm right with Kaios that I'd love to play a server like that.

The problem being, it'd have to be a "Phobos-esque" server, a spin off of a main server, because Mickey's doing v2 oldschool, with a new interface/design.  He's not trying to change the gameplay or setup of the game in any way, which is why I said no way he'll do it.

[StevenTox]

Itd be good, if it went down.

[Devil]

This is a great idea, heh. I can't agree more on the quest part, and I agree with axeman. This is a very phobo-like server setup. It would make a good vet server, but definitely not a good newb server.

[Gizza]

I like. Except keep jewellery making.

[Pokemon Steve]

I'm bumping this because Im not sure how deap Mickey reads into these forums.

[King Dravien]

I'm bumping this because Im not sure how deap Mickey reads into these forums.

You should've probly posted it in the V2 section then where he reads.

[kastemato]

Some really nice ideas in there, would make playing much more intresting for a longer time.

[Trivium]

How are you meant to be a tradesman?  You'd have to punch your way to level 30 before you could start

[StormyNight]

I like everything except Axe's point. Mainly because this is the wolf I've been preaching for years :rollseyes:

[Mickey Kudlo]

Hmm, ok, you are ALL on drugs.

You are forcing people to use unarmed for the first 4, 6 or 8 levels or MORE! No magic or missle. You are wasting 6-8 levels on UA which you took away all the weapons? Then they can pick a weapon skill or missle or magic or stay with tradeskills and UA? I am confused as to how this is playable. AND THEN they can't get a decent weapon until another 8 and/or 12 levels to get mining and BS?!? It really is extreme and NOT for a newb server.

The few things I think make sense are:
 - get rid of spec skills (slow down leveling but I already nerfed this so probably will leave it in)
 - lowering bonuses to skills via jewelry, potions, spells, etc. (already did it a little bit)
 - more missle and magic monsters (already on my list)
 - food gives renewals (already on my list)
 

Maybe, I can see a forced PK Chaos world using these settings just to try them out but I would give people at least 6 starter skill points to get at least a weapon skill or a tradeskill, except BS which they would need to earn the last 2 points which 2 levels is easy.

[Axeman]

Well, the idea behind it is starting out with nothing and working for everything hence why I said it's a "Phobo-esque" server.  It'd be playable, simply by using your bare hands to fight roaches and zombies/mutants, whatever until level 7 or 9.

The idea of waiting another 12 levels for mining/blacksmith would be solved by tradesmen, which is what Jord was aiming for by incorporating them more into the community, because as is, fighters just get their own tradeskills and sort of eliminate the need for tradesmen.

I think somehow, if a middle could be found, it'd be great.  What that middle is, I don't know.

[StormyNight]

The UA idea was/is dumb.
Everything else pwns.

Hop on the bandwagon why don't you, I still think it is a good idea.
Oh an btw, you havnt been preaching anything for years. No ones heard from you for like 3 years and all the sudden you show up.
