At first I always though zOMG would be like a regular MMO w/ weapons/combos. But it's unique, which makes it great! It's excellent when new and not mainstream like certain animes when they first start out *coughnarutocough*.
Anyway, concepts I wish could come as inspiration:
- (from Tales of the Abyss, concept of
Field of Fonon). Well, in ToA, there was something called "Field of Fonons" or FoF Change for short. It basically has elemental circles placed on the ground where both allies/enemies can step on, use an attack and have it absorb (yes the circle goes away) the element to transform it into a destructive technique or support/healing rings into relieving life savers. How it could work for zOMG's properties:
Elemental Circle is to Buff as Attacks are to Rings at RR4.
Let's say Crew member 1 gives Crew member 2 a RR4 Improb. Sphere Buff, then Crew member 2 users Turtle at RR4. Turtle Absorbs the ring buff and now transforms into Reflection, where every attack you receive bounces back at an enemy w/ 400% damage dealt. Both Buffs are gone and now replaced w/ the new attack that lasts 1 minute.
Or Crew member 3 gives a RR4 Adrenaline to a person who uses RR4 Fleet Fleet. The change would be where Cool-Down times of all rings are lessened to 75% for 30 seconds.
