Two new ideas

Idea:

Throwing items that do more than a meager amount of damage, such as stars, cards, knives, etc. Not sure if it would be widely used, but again, what I always shoot for, it opens more chances for RP.

And... 25% artifact/credit discounts on people's birthdays! You know You want to! It would be based off of your registration, and you could just seconds person to see if they're bs'ing you (365 characters *snicker*).

And no, my birthday isn't coming up soon. Just an idea!

Mmmm... shiny throwing things...

Oooh, I like that idea for birthdays, but what if instead it was every 10 years, on your charachters birthday. So you only have one hour to take adavantage of it, once very 120 days.

I don't like the birthday idea, but the throwing one would be very cool biggrin.gif
Shiri2005-03-07 23:53:37
Yeah, the birthday one is never ever gonna happen. tongue.gif

One hour to take advantage of it? There's no way I'd wake up at 4am or something to get a credit discount, unless it was HUGE. It's either gonna be your players birthday, or not at all. Guess which is more likely.
Daganev2005-03-08 01:12:08
Ummm... if your not going to take advantage of it, thats even more reason to make such a discount. Its not likely to be taken advantage of, those who happen to catch thier birthdays will be lucky and its not abuseable.

Although, instead of making it every 10 years, it would make more sense to make it on the point of the cycle where the time you made your charachter is the same time as your birthday. I'll let someone else figure out the math.

but wouldnt lots of people just time it so they could take advantage of the birthday idea? and you would have people asking people there birthday buying creds with there character and splitting any extra they can get because of the discount? i think that this idea would just be taken advantage of
i would like some throwing knives though...

A blademaste axe specialisation would have throwing axes in it which would be great.
silimaur2005-03-08 13:19:33
i would prefer throwing knives to axes...then you could have skills at hiding your knives up your sleeves or something

Throwing cards and such... reminds me of Setzer from FF6.
And of ADOM, an extremely hardcore roguelike where you could use ANY item as a weapon (melee or throwing, as you choose). Ah, and eat people's corpses. Including the corpse of moloch, which was basically a giant animated armor (but you couldn't eat something as food-like as leather boots).

The actual person's birthday.

Throwing items that do damage based on weight. And if you could envenom some of these things would be great. I actually love the envenomed ace of spades idea.

Also, make needles a weapon!!!! Allow them to be poisoned. ENVENOM NEEDLE WITH CROTAMINE, then *poke poke poke poke poke* 1hp damage but ... FUN! and if you can throw them.. EVEN BETTER. Imagine going to do someones piercing with an "accidentally" poisoned crotamine needle -cackle-
Richter2005-03-10 05:30:18
I like that idea.

SQUEAL.


No, no. Make Glomdoring's Guardian class assassins, since the Fae don't like them anymore, and let them use said needles/magical panpipes.



I don't like the birthday idea though.

*goes and makes a Glom-Guardian skillset*

Thought of it ages ago. *snicker*

What was even more entertaining was taking out the Black Market with a pick, getting all the rocks, then finding enough Quickling corpses to get your speed to a few thousand. Then throwing rocks with no skill at the Emperor Moloch till he dies. Love it.

I'm too lazy to calculate the math on that, but it isn't very likely that it would happen very often, never for most people, unless you planed it, which wouldn't be too hard (create a character 12,24,36, etc days ahead of time). Although it came close to happening to me once, achaea-acrune turned 80 a few hours off of my real 18th birthday laugh.gif

make it only an artifact discount .. not so abusable by making seconds then since you can only buy arti's for yourself .. all the rest sounds like a good idea
