I think I just like the fact that zOMG, even though it is changing, is simple enough to understand. Many people now are playing without exactly knowing the plot of the story. Didn't [JK] even ask if we wanted one at all?

And most people said, yes, they wanted a plot.
>.>

And while they want to keep the game simple, they also said adding more complex aspects as options wasn't out of the question.
Also, implemented, it's not as complicated as Ungo describes it.

Edit; Try to explain the rage system simply.
It sounds complicated, but it's really simple.

But it would be only in the Null and considering that you can arrange those as you arrange your rings even if it's bulky it's not quite the big deal. You pick the ring, you equip the summon and you drag the summon to the ring. Easy as that. At least in my mind xd And the summon yourself would be for the lulz, just picture it. razz

And yes, I would love something in those lines. If devs can pull it out, would be awesome. And the time fee doesn't sound that good, hey! I'm poooooooor! gonk

Just seems like unnecessary bulk. If each is it's own ring, you can just have a "Summon Rings" tab next to the regular "Rings" tab. I dunno. Just seems like a lot of work for a less-than-rewarding idea.
And you'd still make more money off zOMG than you're spending on a pet.
Plus, you don't have to use the pets if you don't want to. U n00b. talk2hand

You know, a Summon Ring tab and making one of each summon IS a better idea. *goes to edit OP*

And I know, but still. It's the only way I make gold these days razz

Well, add some kind of balance, like only being able to equip one, or extremely long recharge times, or something.

And grab my booty, foo play Booty Grab, foo.

I forgot about that part, but I do thought on it. Having a lot of summons is somewhat...scary. And the idea is that they consume a lot of stamina and have a long recharge time, but you can equip those rings as much as you want.

And I HATE Booty Grab. Seriously.

Yeah.
I can kinda imagine someone equipping just the right combination of summons, summoning them all, and just walking around self-healing, killing everything, and getting tons of loot.
Then just waiting for them to recharge, and doing it all again.

If you have 30 stamina for each summon, it will be hard for that player anyway =D You can summon 3 of them together, but considering the time of recharge you'll end by being unable to use ANY ring in less than one minute. Stamina may also charge more depending on the effect. But I believe that 30 is a good starting point.

[Lumice]

can't say I like this idea at all

why is there a "I don't like this idea at all" not on the poll?

are you trying to get biased innaccurate results?

Not really. If you don't like the idea it's because you just don't like critters xd To avoid that kind of comments, I decided that a better way to get results of people who likes and love critters is only putting answers for that kind of person. Notice that the poll relates to a level of simplicity of a Critter System, not in particular these thread in which you can notice how complex it sounds and yet how simple would be in practice.

Divinity + Sitting + Superchargers.

And if the effect of the ring lasts for only one minute... it's basically just a revisit of turtle.
Powerful, but short. And therefore never used 'cause people drop them in favor of long-lasting buffs that work in situations other than "150 HP OH FUUUUU~"

[chlorine trifluoride]

I sorta like this. Brain's not functioning properly at the moment, so I can't give you more than that. I'll post a Twister thing later.

Hmmm, you're right on there. Well, a limit on the quantity of rings seems coherent. 2 or 3 at max? Or just one?

Finish a quest chain, get one, finish a different one much later, unlock a second?
Possibly make them Thumb rings.

Hey, I read every thing.
I really like the summon idea, but not only with just the iam poses of things from evolving items.

I think for summons, we should use the character, but they would need a re-design. Maybe have them look more like the sd plus dolls.

The summons shouldn't be out that long ( think like FF7 summons). It comes out, does an attack which either damages the foe, heals you, or does some crowd control so you can heal your self. ( crowd control would only last like10- 20 seconds maybe).

After the attack is done, it goes away and the recharge should be like 2 to five minutes.

And with every summon there is a random like 3% chance that it's attack might do a little extra something maybe a lil extra damage, or give you extra health or something, or might be able to cc even more animated or something.

yeah, that;s my thoughts.

But your compilation of stuff was very cool.

Like that, though, no one would choose them over ordinary rings.
A single-attack ring with a five minute cooldown?
No thank you.

Brilliant. heart Edited the OP.

You know, I miss the times when we were zOMG Regulars of this forum just because the brainstorming we had every day week month sometimes when we were inspired amused clever on drugs on a roll. (?)
