81 divination.

 

Idea for making agility useful:

 

Manoeuvres.

 

Basically: hotkey for movement.

 

Level requirement: 4 * [number of squares moved + number of ticks waited] + 20 * [number of changes of direction + number of squares skipped].

 

Available: Relative and absolute (relative to compass and relative to character facing).

 

So, let's say I want to hotkey moving 1 diagonal, to the north-west. That requires level 4, got to do some agility training (say 10 repetitions) and then I can hotkey walking one square north-west.

 

Now say I want to move two sw, then two s, and do that in one tick (skipping two squares). That requires 4*4 + 3*20 = level 76. Repeat what, 100 times? and I can do this with a hotkey.

 

The highest you could get (taking level 99 as level 100, which it should be) would be 25 squares auto-walking/running (straight only), or a 24 tick delay before moving 1 square, or skipping 4 squares, or moving 10 squares and then moving 10 more in another direction and so on.

 

This is plain regular movement, not specifically combat-related. Of course, each manoeuvre drains an appropriate amount of run energy. Finally make that relevant again as well.

 

Now that we're at it, the adrenaline:run energy parallel could be made this way as well. Make adrenaline default to 100% and drain as you use abilities. Wee symmetry :).

Got 82 Divination.

 

@Mish: I'm posting suggestions on the internet.

[Aiel]

I hear things posted on the internet are like, super important and stuff

[Quyneax]

83 divination.

 

I've started compiling some of the suggestions I've made before, mostly relating to combat. If you have any suggestion that needs to be included but that I may have missed (or that wasn't mine), just post here :). I've only checked the last 80 pages of this blog or so, no other topics, and mostly ignored discussions. I'll probably be editing the mass of suggestions into something resembling an overall plan, since I have time during Divination and before uni starts again.

Post em on the rs subreddit and our suggestion section :3

[Abdulla]

Reddit will literally want to make love to you if you post your stuff there. Also it's a great way to getting your ideas seen since a few mods read and post there too.

[hide=Spoiler just in case (Wheel of Time)]On the topic of the wheel of time mmo, I think it'd be cool to have different servers/questlines for different points in time (War of Shadow, Breaking of the World, Trolloc wars, Artur Hawking, Aiel War, events in books, post-AMOL), possibly with the option to have your character "reborn" later/earlier ( or just more forward, the wheel of time is a wheel after all), after finishing an earlier storyline. Each time your character is reborn you restart in terms of leveling, but level quicker (so like how Rand had Lews Therin teaching him things sort of).

 

I'm still not sure how channeling should be handled- even with a foxhead channelers have the advantage of traveling, access to tel'aran'rhiod, portal stones etc. I'm tempted to just say all players should be able to channel, but that would be weird for male channelers in the 3rd age.[/hide]

[hide='Written without thought for spoilers, sorry. Wheel of Time series.]Properly, Tel'aran'rhiod can be accessed by anyone with the talent. It may be best to give everyone a choice of abilities through a point system, including saidin, saidar, certain talents, dreaming, doomseeing and whatnot. I think physical things should be governed by a training-based system, where everyone can train to be strong (so it's not part of the abilities). You can spread some imperfect foxhead copies around, as well, as they prevent the wearer channeling.

 

Getting reborn is a good idea, you could also easily profile different worlds as different turns of the Wheel, which is convenient. Rebirth of course only increases levelling if you do the same things, e.g. Lews Therin reborn isn't going to provide a boost to, say, leatherworking any time soon.[/hide]

 

84 divination. 2580 total.

 

Also have been working on the suggestions but it's going to take a while. I'm currently on 9 sections, with specific suggestions for Trekking, MA (the reworked Conquest should just replace MA), PoP resurrects and CW scoring not even categorized yet. Since I'll be adding reasoning, there will be a book by the time I'm done >.>.

[Kimberly]

Wow that's a lot of sections. :o

[Quyneax]

Didn't do much divining today, but I managed to reduce the number of pages to 17! (reduced font size from 11 to 10 and marigins from 2.5 to 1.5 cm). Word count is only 7k though, so it's not like the pages are very full. There are a lot of lists and a few tables, that fills it up.

I'm not sure I follow... :unsure:

 

Didn't do much today but the challenge, not feeling too well. Did a bit of work on my old TT suggestion, but since my EoC suggestions don't (can't) incorporate exact equipment stats, it's hard to determine what equipment to upgrade them with. There also isn't level 90-99 armour yet. I'll just quote a bit of the draft:

 

10.2 Temple Trekking. Temple Trekking is really rather nice, but the companions are essentially forgotten after you max them all, as the best way to grind TT involves rushing through the fastest path with the weakest companion, who will do nothing useful at all. It'd be cool to bring the characters more up to Crysius' level and giving them a bit of an adventuring career. There are potential tie-ins with Player-owned Ports, quests, minigames and boss hunting. First of all, where can you expect these heroes to show up?

1. The Champions', Heroes' and Legends' guilds, as well as other guilds depending on skills. They are like signature heroes in this regard.
   
2. Smiddi would naturally go looking for Lunar Island, Pazuzu would visit Jaldraocht, Dean would go slaying and so on.
   
3. I'm sure all companions would be happy to sail to the Eastern Lands for you.
   
4. For activities that require a team, like Pest Control, there could be an NPC mode where you build a team of heroes that you can command, rather like the Three’s Company saga, except that you're in there as well.
   
5. As companions in private boss rooms, you could have NPC teams as well. Of course, each NPC would take a share of the loot, just like a player would, and if they die they would be unavailable for a while, say a couple of hours.

Other hero characters can be added to a system like this as well. There are plenty of people who would join us (the adventurer) for a nice round of, say, hard mode GWD. The ability to command heroes in battle adds a layer of strategy that you couldn't copy with a human team, because the NPCs don't think for themselves.

 

As nice as the current TT heroes are, they are still a bit weak to be brought into end-game situations, like many adventurers we encounter. Apart from giving them ability rotations, which is crucial for any fighter since EoC, there could be the following additions, mainly to make the companions awesomer. The easy/strong companions and Jayene end up as powerful fighters for melee, magic and ranged, while the hard/weak companions and Zachory form support group. It is assumed that they will have the stats of characters with a combat level of 140-200 at level 99, and that they have the stats matching their visible equipment.

 

Heroes can be improved in two ways: donating certain items, and teaching secrets. Both are done through chat options and are one-time permanent upgrades that increase the combat level and equipment bonuses of the hero. As heroes, they’ll look after repairing the armour and such. Each upgrade requires the hero to have a certain level, the player must supply the relevant items, and in the case of secrets, the player must have a certain quest done or a certain skill level.

This is a specific suggestion so it doesn't really deal with mechanics, more with content and details. If the sentences don't run, or if there's too many words, or other crap: that's okay, it's a draft.

Just google His_Lordship TS rant and then you'll understand why it would be funny when someone like him posts an extremely long and serious suggestion.
