Ive got an idea for a new class of special attacks, the overdrive (od). (before you say it, its not copyrighted and im not taking it from any paticular game.)

 

 

 

these are very powerful attacks that are also very rare. in order to enable an overdrive, you must have:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A. A weapon with a special attack (staves excluded)

 

 

 

B. An overdrive crystal.

 

 

 

C. A power source crystal.

 

 

 

D. The level to equip the weapon +10. (ex: the whip's Overdrive is lvl 80 attack.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How it works:

 

 

 

in order to use an overdrive, you must attach the overdrive crystal to your weapon, gain 1m combat xp , attach the power crystal and click on the overdrive bar.

 

 

 

the screen will turn black and show only you and the monster/player. time freezes, and all the attacks you are doing stay on screen until od is finished.

 

 

 

a hit counter and total damage meter will appear. overdrive attacks, and you cannot move for 5 seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Combo overdrives:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Credit to iwatake*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you and another person Have filled overdrive bars, you an link up to do combo overdrive! to do it, you must be in an:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A. multi combat area.

 

 

 

B. have accept aid on.

 

 

 

C. must both have full overdrive bars.

 

 

 

D.must both have power crystals attached to you weapons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

right click on the person and click overdrive, the other person comfirms, then you both pick a target(s) if weapon can hit muptiple targets)

 

 

 

you can use any combo of weapons, but certain weapons go together better to do bonus damage, or have a specal effect. (like d hally and d 2h, magic short and long bows.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

overdrive in menu:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The overdrive crystal looks like the crystals from watch tower quest but white. it can be used 5 times before it needs to be enchanted by an elf singer, starting at 500k gp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power crystals are small crystal fragments that give your weapon the final burst of energy needed to engage your overdrive. the crystal can be used once, then shatters with the overload of power. these are stackable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Charge crystals are a clue reward, and a drop from crystal elementals. they give you +5% to your overdrive bar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both of these are dropped by all monsters that drop half keys, altho very rarley. the higher lvl monster, the higher the chance. Monsters like the kbd, mole, kq and dks have a low chance of dropping them, to give you an idea of its rarity! (od crystal could be bought from a shop or be a quest reward, as it only starts the od.)

_____________________________________________________________

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Important note about overdrive crystals: you may detach the od crystal and reattach it to another weapon, but you will have to start charging the crystal again. if you attach it to the weapon you had it on before, it will remember how charged it is.

number of times that can be used, 5? no way, you know how impossible pking would be with this? or (not sure if you stated this) does your special bar need to be full, and if so does 1 overdrive use up all the special bar? if so then it could work, if not then no. sorry but i didn't read it all that thoroughly im tired lol

[Slayer_Jesse]

not in a row, the crystal can be used 5 times before it needs charging. there is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge gap inbetween attacks! (1m combat xp gained)

[ruilex]

the dagger is way over powered 16 hits... any one with dencent attack and strength stats can ohko a maxed out lvl 126

[Slayer_Jesse]

well it has a negitave attack bonus, and no minimum damage. + they are ment to be powerfull but rare. if u spot somethign too powerfull tho, let me know.

[Slayer_Jesse]

shorter version!!!

 

 

 

these are very powerful attacks that are also very rare. in order to enable an overdrive, you must have:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A. A weapon with a special attack

 

 

 

B. An overdrive crystal.

 

 

 

C. A power source crystal.

 

 

 

D. The level to equip the weapon +10. (ex: the whip's Overdrive is lvl 80 attack.)

 

 

 

E. you must have gained 1m combat xp to charge the overdrive

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How it works:

 

 

 

in order to use an overdrive, you must attach the overdrive crystal to your weapon, gain 1m combat xp, attach the power crystal and click on the overdrive bar.

 

 

 

the screen will turn black and show only you and the monster. time freezes, and all the attacks you are doing stay on screen until od is finished.

 

 

 

a hit counter and total damage meter will appear. overdrive attacks, and you cannot move for 5 seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You get the od crystal from a quest/shop/monster drop

 

 

 

power crystals are from monster drops, and are very rare!!! tradeable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so you cnat just go willy nilly with these attacks, they are rare and expensive to do!

[bubbels]

LAAAMEEEE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not just working, who would use d mace spec if d long has the same but multiple times?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this would ruin pking, "yay, i pked full dragon" and suddendly 16 arrows flies at you? i think not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you are fighting against dharoker with whip and skull. "boom you be dead" 16 dds strikes. !!16!!!?!?!?!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

highly disagree

[Slayer_Jesse]

CANNOT BE USED AGAINST PLAYERS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ahem.... it depends what weapon you have the crystal attached to, and the mace has potential for a higher max hit. also, some of the attacks on the weapons can miss.

[bubbels]

still, imagined fight caves? you could kill it from half hp when healers coming in to zero with 1 single range att?

[Slayer_Jesse]

oops, forgot about him ^.^'' i edited it to include him and quest monsters.

[supercanon14]

ok here is a idea have it so you can attack players but not past level 5 wildy? so that it would do good in like cw

[Slayer_Jesse]

that could work.

[down4kill]

good idea

[Tim]

bit too complicated but good, are you sure you didnt get it off FFX? well the hally thing (one with pic) could be called dark aura, why? as when i played kingdom hearts: chain of memories, a char called riku (only 1 "k") uses that attack and its exactly the same, also ironically, its my name :

[anantipure]

Support, but it'd be cool to use on other players in... say castle wars or fight pits?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cool idea though.... I especially like the whip and dragon hally ones!

[iwatake]

I love the idea! :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It reminds me of "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance" Combo attacks.

 

 

 

In that game, one character iniates the combo, and then anyone else in range joins in the combo adding an attack. Only this idea, it is one person, but perhaps you could add in opportunities for other player to join in, which would be useful in fights with Boss monsters, like KQ

[Slayer_Jesse]

@ dark, no i didnt take it from any game. i made these up from (mostly) the weps special attacks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@ iwa, awesome idea, i think i will add that.

[jwrm22]

way too overpowered... even if you cant use it on jad, players etc... :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1mil exp for only 5 atks?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sounds pretty useless...

[mega_vegeta6]

omg, a bit too powerful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dagger,16 times? 4 would be better and if it would be 1m xp between how many times would you use it a month? :|

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:lol: :lol: so d2h would be a stair? :^o :lol: :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and mayb you would by accident use it at some noob monster like chicken when toy were thinking of unleashing a spec. :-X

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a waste of time? ye probably :ohnoes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

what monster would you use it on if you could not use it on those monsters that are reeeaaly hard like tztok jad?

 

 

 

lessers? :XD:

 

 

 

anyways, there is time for new specs so i still support the general idea. \

[Slayer_Jesse]

ahem.... you jump off a tower and plummeting back to earth with the d2h. read the whole thing. and yeh, 16 is prbably 2 much.... :XD: ill change that.

 

 

 

since you have to attach the power crystal before you do the overdrive, its unlikeley you would accadentaly attack a target.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and it could be usefull on kq dag kings ect... its meant to be a fun thing that you can do once in awhile. and if you really read it, i have alotta checks and balances to keep it from going outta controll.

[Komodoman360]

What about those people who have maxed out their xp to 200,000,000? #-o

[ddaanniiellh]

I guess that means you can use a max of 1000 times then :lol:

 

 

 

~Ddaanniiellh

[swordwindtrtrtrt]

Darklight far too overpowered, though i like the instantly kill demons thing.

[Nenga]

I know you said this wasn't from any game, but i realy think time away from FF and other games like it will do you good. I didn't see one idea in there that wasn't used by a square made game.

[wizjany]

wouldn't this make you almost invincible?
