Kurohito's Big List of Ring Ideas
Its like having the CostCo of jewlery stores!

Feedback is welcome smile

NOTHING I SAY IS OFFICIAL, IT IS JUST MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS.

Introduction

Well, yeah. Its my list of Ring Ideas. I guess when I heard that it was going to be a ring based system, I thrashed into my keyboard for about threee dyas, then realized that if you cant win, might as well see what you can do to make it interesting.

So thats how this thread was born.

Will it be updated reguarly?

Of course it will, as I decide to release more ideas on the lists will.

But what if they do not incorporate such and such things in the Battle system?

Most of my ideas are based on basic battle system physics and theory. Many of them are so old you can easily find them in Dragon Warrior, Nethack, Crawl, and older games.

Well, at the Panel they said this and this and this....

This means nothing to me. If at a Convention or a Panel they state that "oh there will be no knockback", I will not remove those ideas from the list.

What about Ring Sets for bonuses and combos?

When I have given all of my ideas for rings of a set, I will then post the bonus it will give. Likewise, if two rings will counteract one another, they will say so in their Special area.

So can we argue with people who disagree with the ring system in here?

Only if it is constructive and lacks the whole man hunt value.

Why do your ideas lack any deep details?!@?!?!?!?!!?!?!??!?!?

Melee - Hand to Hand

Even though we are going to lack actual hand to hand items, rings will have to substitute for the classics. Hell, all they need to do is change the ring graphic in the box to a belt, and change the name to have a belt for melee. But then everyone would be upset.

Punch
A standard punch by making one's four fingered hand into a knuckle surprise!

• Rank Progression - Damage Increase
  
  Backhand
  Stiffen the fingers, flick the wrist, and launch the arm!
  
• Special - Increases the user's Accuracy Score for the attack by 5% only.

Melee - Standard Weapons

In order to have melee attacks in the game, there will need to be creative ideas on how to come across it. An all ranged attack game will result in people standing in the loading points of a map as they click on anything not another player that moves. No fun in that sadly. Thankfully, the Bug Catching in Towns requires you to be within x pixels of the target bug, so rest assured we will have some form of melee most likely.

Energy Slash
Bringing forth a beam of energy, the user can make a slashing motion with their fist.

• Rank Progression - Damage Increase
  
  Energy Stab
  Bringing forth a beam of energy, the user can thrust the beam deep into a person, causing bleeding.
  
• Special - Does melee damage as well as x amount of damage over x seconds.

• Special - Does ranged damage and hits once for each level of the ring.
  
• Rank Progression - Damage Increase, # of hits increase.

Profession Based

While we will lack a class system, it is always a good idea to have class like abilities. This allows for multiple things. For one, having a Pastry Chef set versus a normal Healing Set can have better bonuses when it comes to having a mix of both support and offensive. I guess the idea will pan itself out as it goes.
