You guys should have played Dungeon Master in the old days. Food & Water & torch lighting. And there was another game with fatigue as well. Ah, the days of HARD games.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
Make even low end pets (taming skill wise) like mice/goblins/trolls etc, scale more (depending on taming skill perhaps?). I'd like for the end-game to consist of diverse pets and interesting choices outside of what color dragon you prefer. I really like the pet tomes system on that note, because the dragons aren't all the same, but it still feels like it'd be more interesting if someone had a good reason to have a pet bat or something, at least enough that they could justify having it even at 100 taming.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
Stat bonuses (str,dex,int) on artifacts more badass and slightly varied.
Rare weapons below artifact level that can have [tint]weapon(+X){+Y}, Y being a random stat bonus from <STR,DEX,INT,MR,NV>.
Ultra rare generated armor [tint]armour(+X){Enchantment} where enchantment is triggered upon taking damage. (%chance based on %HP lost)
~ Armour spells of support(minor heal, reveal, summon, invis, fortify, etc) or retaliation(lightning, greater lightning, earthquake, fireball, kill, etc).
~i.e. [Crystal] Field Plate (MR+5){IJO} , [Darkweave] Gi Torso (NV+4){SL} , [None] Platemail (Def+2){VS}
~Nearly every spell in the game can be used, even strange things like IL, AKX, SN, KHX, etc. it makes the great ones even more exciting to find!!
*Balance suggestion: only allow chest piece equipment to have enchantments, so that each character may have only 1 active, and don't have VM in the list

Re: Ideas thread 2014
[s]earch a pile of items to cycle the order of them, for various reasons.
Caster pets should melee attack less.
Defense more useful at higher levels. (More 'epic' maps?)
Give Fire/Healing wards more HP, or 10HP but always take 1 dmg.
Make map-title above minimap have [N],[H],[E], for normal,heroic,epic,blood.
Remove the level cap entirely, even before reaching it the cap it is discouraging. The huge cap makes EUO incredible; shine even brighter.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
I agree that mythic is a bad way to make a crap craft worthwhile. I think all crafting stinks a bit tho some more than others. I find inscription the most useful. Smith has never been good. Tho with craft able mid level weapons it is better but you've probably found better stuff by the time you can make it.
Weapon Smith and Armor could be merged. Add some really high end stuff. Revise all the tints. ScrappIng it would be easier and I've got bigger fish to fry this year
Smith in wow seemed to progress well but it was pretty pointless too.
Put it into context tho: reg is about grinding. If you don't like that then play pd or ng where skil rates are so much higher. I'm actually going to rename reg to grind server. I might make pd or ng the default when a newbie connects.
Also posting when mad is bad idea.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
In WoW (heavy experience from that game) blacksmithing used to be very useful prior to expansions, in the second expansion it was okay and after that you could get better gear from instances, but anyway...
I had an idea and this isn't about crafting, but it's a pretty good idea I think, and it's stolen from everyone's favourite, Path of Exile.
What if we could have cartography maps that take you to a special instance? It probably would be pain to write, but the idea is decent. The maps could have special abilities bound to them:
Map - Minotaur halls
-2x more bosses
-mobs are immune to poison, bleeding etc
-player loses constantly hp
-player loses 4 nv
-all mobs have XJ
-etc
That's just one example, what I'm saying is we could have "artifact" or "magical" maps, that take you to an instance and there are some special stuff, which are randomized. Higher instances / "abilities" would require 100 in cartography.
Maybe you could even get lucky and polypile "instance maps".
You could also use existing instanced maps. Let's say you have this following item:
Scroll of instance enhancing (LAUGHING OUT LOUD LIKE A MORON)
Read this in an instance to apply the following effects:
-mobs drop 2x gold
-2x hybrid mobs
-all mobs have vampyric attack
Thanks,
Luxorious

That moment the next morning when you remember typing on forums the night before... and regret it...eggmceye wrote:Also posting when mad is bad idea.
Realized that several hours ago. Was actually logging on with hopes to delete before people saw, but figured it was too late .
I disagree on the whole grinding server though. Regular is more/less the standard. PD is hardcore mode with benefit to exp gain to compensate, and I tried NG, just doesn't suit me. The point I was trying to get across was that the entire game shouldn't be built solely around hunting, but should have a variety of things to do so that everyone can have fun, not just the grinders.
The Regular Server is already dubbed the standard server and the one everyone plays mainly. If you change the standard to PD, everyone will still play Reg, with the exception of new players that are joining, and in all honesty you may lose new players when they join and realize they're playing hardcore.
The smithing skills are a mainstay for all rpgs like this. As far as making them worthwhile to raise, you could create a bonus to weapons that are smithed using this skill. Make the ingredients for the bonus source piece from gear you find in dungeons (So it requires grinding which is what you would like to keep as the main part) like runes that are already in game and maybe others.
Taking the idea from GuildWars2, you craft the hilt of a weapon, then the blade or head of the weapon, then combine them with an insignia to add increased effects.
This could be done with the runes. Rune + Greater Yellow Potion (or something else) could make a Rune of Health for armour. When wearing this Armour of Health + 4 (or whatever + you can enchant it to) your health is raised. Could even make an equation such as 15 x + of armour or something so it gets better as the armour is enhanced. Same could be said with weapons. Rune + Essence of Fire = Rune of Burning with low % chance to deal dps of [flame damage], % chance increasing with + of weapon.

--make an epic Neth
--keep the dragon tome seller at the end
--rename "KVX" to "VKVX" on the epic map
--let "VKVX" have a 600 second cooloff, 10% (or less) chance to summon a Hybrid Dragon, and a 5% or less to summon a 2x2, with a 1% of 5% to summon a 2x2 hybrid beast.
--on top of the 600 second cooloff, let the summoned dragon stay for 200 seconds.

Never really understood why summons can't last until dead or based on int for lasting time.

Since all NG characters will always be level 1, show their current total stat points instead of their level on the armoury.
