Make team capes serve their purpose again!

[Will H]

how about...

 

if you can wear the normaly like now...with no bonuses...

 

...but when your in like...bounty hunter...and clan wars...(where teams and clans are present)

 

..the cape gives like +10 def bonus

 

Then they would be overpowered and/or expensive, both of which I'm trying to avoid. If you made the defence bonus any less, then you would again have to choose between stats and friend-or-foe recognition, and then we would have achieved nothing.

This is how I would do it--

 

 

 

1.

 

Add a new feature to construction.

 

33 Construction -

 

Cape Easel. Does the same as the Pluming stand, but adds the effect for capes

 

 

 

2.

 

Use a cape on the Cape Easel in your house.

 

Choose some sort of symbol, just like you would if you were making a banner (maybe include more symbols?)-

 

Craft cape with symbol and it would look like this...

 

 

Mouse over and it will look like this :: Fire Cape (team: jirenma2001)

 

 

 

3.

 

Invite people to your house. Turn your request assistance on

 

Somehow incorporate Request Assistance with this feature.

 

---

 

 

 

So let's say you want to start a team with jirenma2001

 

You would go to his house and bring the cape you want to wear.

 

Then you would need to request assistance from jirenma2001. He would decide whether to allow to make a cape for you...

 

The result would be the same as above, with whatever cape you want to use.

 

So the mouse over might be Spottier Cape (team: jirenma2001)

 

 

 

I think there should be a limit and there should also be a toggle off switch in case you wanted to switch teams in the future. But to make things fare, you should only be able to toggle off the team on a non-PVP world.

 

This does make it P2P however....

Will.. .. ..i think someone is on to something here =P

 

This is a very strong suggestion =P

[jirenma2001us]

I had an epiphany!

 

 

 

OK so it works like this-

 

 

 

F2P

 

 

 

An NPC (Let's call him Teddy the Teamster) will sell team insignias for F2P capes. Insignias cost 100gp each and are NOT TRADEABLE. The insignia will be bound to the person who bought them. So if you want to start your own team of 10 people, you must buy 10 insignias.

 

 

 

If someone wants to be on your team, they must request assistance (and you must accept). For it to work, the person starting the team must have the insignias in his inventory. You also must have a cape in your inventory (if you're wearing it, how can he take it?).

 

These will work for all and only all F2P capes. (Legends, Gods, and Normal)

 

 

 

The insignia will be on and it will read Cape xxx (team: jirenma2001)

 

The insignias can be removed, but-- but only removed. You don't get them back unless the leader of the team makes another one for you. If the leader wants to disband a team, he can do that as well, as long as he is not in a PKing Area (sounds fair right?) All of these features are the same in P2P.

 

 

 

All other P2P capes must be made using construction / heraldry.

 

 

 

My original idea works best with P2P

Wow, that's a great suggestion, jirenma. However, I don't think that items can be customisable, as in they have a name of a player in them; they must be selected from a pre-set list, I think that's part of the game engine. But, that can be solved by just numbering the insignias.

 

 

 

I like it, but that's even more work than my idea (and mine's bad enough); think of all the combinations requiring graphical images and inventory icons if they're going to be unique!

[Hoobs]

Support, nice idea. :P

[Will H]

Support, nice idea. :P

 

Thanks. :)

I really like the idea, but how about we make the capes enchanted as well.... Like when a team wearing the same team number cape in a certain area could get a healing bonus or something... Could be really useful in clan wars...

Once again this is about the combination of certain capes such as a team cape and a skill cape to combine the look, or like a team cape and a obby cape, so it would have the stats of an obby cape but a different look.

 

 

 

Im not sure if will_holmes thinks differently, but i don't think this has to do with this idea.
