Good Ideas for Servers

[LordGragen.]

so one of my fav thing is to sit and think of this bad *** things we can add to games, and i HATE! to keep it my self i would like to share them around see people using, so every time i come up with idea i will share it, Please feel free to join me and share if you like comment or click thanks if you like the thread.


so here is the first thing that came up in my mind.


1. Sub Spells/Passive

 Spoiler

so imaged this, lets say you have 5 dungeons in your game with 5 main bosses, every time you kill a boss you have the chance to get his spell, he will drop it. ones you get the spell and right click on it you will learn that spell perm.

for example

first boss drops the heal spell.

and the command for it will be /Heal

ones you use the spell you will get +10 or +5 hp per sec,

i am sure you guys got the idea, then kill the next boss and get the other skill.

which prob will be +10 or +5 mana per sec or w.e

and make it that ones 1 spell is active the other cannot be used until you disable the other one.

then you keep making good spells like this, i think its interesting for players to have good options in the game.

If you're making it a skill why then combine it with player commands?

Just give them an actual new skill that is an actual passive or has a toggle option. You can even create custom status effects for it being on (healing aura around player for example)


No reason (or excuse) to ever have players using commands ingame outside of say reporting players/bugs and even then there are better ways to handle it.

We've already incorporated the idea of passive skills (Conquer already supports this if you look at poison blades, defense bows, etc), this idea isn't really too new and I agree with pro4never, you should avoid need to use commands as much as possible.

well the ideas i am giving does not have to be the same way its up to the coder to do anything they can with it.

There are plenty of things where things are up to interpretation but in the context of conquer private servers, forcing someone to use a command in order to activate a skill when you have many other, better options is simply arguing for bad gameplay... there's quite literally no arguments for using commands when you could use...

-Passive character skills (cannot be cast/selected but are displayed in game. Are always on but have certain conditions)
-Active/Toggled character skills
-Skill enhanced weapons
-Invisible class/character passives


ALL are better from a gameplay standpoint, are every bit as efficient from a coding standpoint and are fully supported by every patch of conquer.


We are not arguing against your ideas, we are simply saying they are very poorly thought out in the format you argued for them.

Toggled skills haven't always been supported :$

[LordGragen.]

no i understand, feel free to share i mean i may give ideas but i am sure the idea can be improved so its cool.

and someone tell me whats toggled skill mean.
