@ Zey, no, staircase isn't good right next to it, because you're supposed to go the long way to get there. Maybe a staircase at the lighthouse or near that anchor bug chest?

Whatever, fact is, going the long way is *exactly* what people are complaining about. A stairway at the lighthouse would be weird, if we'd buy that, people will ask for an elevator or something then. mrgreen

But then again, if there were a Null at Shallow Sea, there would be no need to reformulate Beach's Null. That first area map could have more than one "way" to proceed; instead of going up from the giant clamshell to reach labs, you could go, like, left, and there could be another map with a Null chamber somewhere there.
That way we *could* have a Null at SS, without it being *such a shortcut* to the labs.

[SoulSkourer]

Edit 2@ Zey: I mean that there;s a stair case blocked, and you can only get passed it with the momentos done, to show oyu can survive. The stairs would be right next to it
BTW, NO null do SS, it's an instance

@ Zey: But, when low lvl CLs come here, they should have to take the long route. Maybe the way's blocked until you finish the momentos?

You didn't get it; people been complaining more because of how long it takes to move from null to Shallow Sea... (when it comes to move just around the beach it's not a problem, since most of questgivers are south in the beach)
That's why I said that, if there were Null somewhere at SS, most people would complain less.

[Draedellus]

A Null somewhere at SS is not a bad idea, but if it's too close to labs it'll make final boss runs WAY easy...
And final boss runs aren't suposed to be "easy", damn, they're final!! gonk

Aonther note... hey, another "Thunderbolt & Lightning" ring? I knew I should've registered that name. xd

You still have to get past Robofish, and Sealab compound.

Besides, a boss shouldn't be hard because you dragged yourself through a two hour dungeon. It should be hard because it'll kick your a**.

Kaida: Isn't Kat's doll static at CL4.1? That's the max CL you can have to enter, so I can't see how it could go above that. I have never had any trouble with that boss battle personally and have solo'd her many times. If you care to, feel free to PM me and we can work out a time for me to help you with it? I'd be more than willing to help. <3

Aryanah: That is... an incredibly long explanation. I can't speak for Ung, but I think you may need to shorten it a bit for him to consider it. I read most of it and I'd say the basic idea is solid, but the whole thing is far too involved to be a real feature. I don't think many people would be interested in something that is so complicated and intense in what is supposed to be a laid back, simple game.

Guria: That idea doesn't seem to fit well with the game. The devs have said that the maximum ring CL will be increased with each major update. A CL* ring that acts as CL15 would inevitably be weaker than (what I can only assume to be the next max) CL20 rings, not to mention you'd lose four CL10 rings which you could upgrade to CL20 when available.

Reply is a bit delayed but oh well... sweatdrop

My ring idea isn't about power...that's why they wouldn't be "upgradable"...also, that's why they would be strong at start too...it's all about a ring with own "set" effect...this way they would be usable even if cL goes to 20....

For those who plays yu-gi-oh...think about a man-eater bug...the trick isn't in the damage itself. mrgreen

A Null chamber anywhere before these would be nice, yes, I just stated that, as long it's not near the boss, for it would make the run way too much easy...

And in most RPGs and MMORPGs, instanced areas have a long, long way before any boss... the only one with a run-before-boss we have is SS... so, I think it must stay this way.
And in fact I hope there are more run-before-boss instanced places in the upcoming maps. Bring up the challenge!

Actually you have Sealab Compound, and Undersea Ledge before the boss.

Boss runs should rest on the merits of the boss, not the run. Besides, up the difficulty of Sealab Compound if you have to. I just want to cut the time down.

Also, zOMG! isn't most other MMOs and RPGs. It's casual, which means it's geared towards players who can't waste half a day beating the boss.

haven't seen this idea yet... so..

The Form

Area: features/other suggestions
Summary: the ability to NOT display battle damage
Explanation: One thing that fills up the screen ALOT! and sometimes makes visibility very small, is battle damage.
Not just the once you deal, also those you get.
by disabling it, you still have a good vision and this should also result in less lag.
this last one is what most players will enjoy the most.
battle damage given and receibed are still visible; though not expressed in numbers.
its represented in the life bars. that way you can still see how much life is left.
the disabling can also be split in two, battle damage given and battle damage received.
This should be displayed under options and would be set as enabled by default.
that way it is present unless the player in question, someone like me who doesn't care about those statistics, doesn't want to see it.

here a ring idea...

The Form

Area: rings
Summary: ring: BLING! BLING!
Explanation: the BLING! BLING! is a ring that doesn't do (much) damage. it's main purpose is to stun the animates in the area.
For those with little imagination, think of Tienshinhan's (DBZ) solar flare, but a little bit more stylish... which combined with other rings such as the guns! guns! guns! could form the "PIMP" set.
which as a bonus gives an overal character stat boost.

and since i'm on a roll..

Summary: Pimp cane
Explanation: for short range attack we have the pimp cane. seriously, a massive wooden pole up your head isnt very soft....

Hey, I just got a mod for a current ring, Hot Foot. If you thing about it, if your foot is burning (or burnt), you're going be walking on it pretty gingerly. So I would suggest a speed de-buff to be added with Hot Foot. 3nodding

[Shrantic01]

I'd suggest that instead of Adrenaline being an evasion buff, it should be a quick, full stamina heal (on allies) that has the same recharge rate as Defibrillate, and the same stamina cost. After all, in real life adrenaline makes you tense, jittery, and extremely energetic, not evasive. Also, there currently not a single stamina heal, and since adrenaline really does give you more stamina real life, it would make since for it to do it in zOMG!. Maybe Ghost could be used like a combination of Teflon Spray and the current Adrenaline- give one person more evasion, but be able to use it on yourself and your allies. It just seems like stamina should be healed more than one way, being the very stat you have to conserve to use rings.

[Nicodemas]

I am not sure if this has been mention yet, but if it hasn't I will go ahead and mention it.

Area: features/other suggestions
Summary: Buffs, and Power up pictures are displayed in a noticeable area outside of the crew menu.
Explanation: I have notice in the crew menu it shows what buffs, or power ups that is currently activated on your character in a small picture along with the ring sets.

I however, thought it would be nice if it could show these buffs or power ups outside of the crew menu. For example; having them displayed right under the bar that displays your total charge, orbs, and the clickable button for your character's info. The reason why I suggest this is because, many of the buff rings, only last either a few minutes or a matter of seconds. Some buffs like, "pot lid" will be in effect for entire recharge duration of the ring. A ring like "Divinity" will stop its effect when the charge has reached half way, but many times a lot of players don't really know when it ends. Not even I know when it ends after I use the full rage with it.

I am sure many of you would say, "well just keep the crew menu open". I have tried that but seriously the thing is huge, and you can't even minimize it from what I recall. The only thing you can do is move it other then that.

Having the buffs or power ups pictures, being displayed outside the crew menu in a noticeable area, would allow many players to know when they need to cast that certain buff again in order to survive the fight longer.

Another Idea I thought could work instead of doing the pictures is have a message come across the screen for 1 second then fade away. For example. "Pot lid's effect has faded".
Pictures/Examples: (I will show you later.)
