Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the battle system is stilll in the initial phases of its release...what do you all suspect we can do to improve upon it?
ex. should we have an 'official' thread in which after a certain number of fights are won in that particular topic you level up?
In any case, simply post your ideas here ^^



Amendments Passed:
Armelin - Development of the Battle System; Q&A Thread
Blue-Ultimate - Restructuring of Battle Standings; Roleplay Innovations; a second Arena; functional monster battles?
Japanese Hero - Triple Threat System
Muchikun - Monster specific accounts and avatars for the upcoming monster battle system.
Zee_Vampire - Allow the dual-wielding of certain weapons; the minimum damage will be determined by one weapon and the maximum by the other.
T.CJester - Absentee Policy.

Alright, I've already gotten the amendment necessary for becoming a scholar. -approves past post- =P


But...I have another idea. Perhaps you could incorporate the battle system (and its accompanying stats) into an rp system. I'd think it would be pretty exciting if you say...decided that someone could be a monster with "x" stats and have a group of friends come together to slay it. Perhaps one of you could even be a white mage and have the damage you would normally deal converted into a healing spell for party members. The ideas are limitless really, I look forward to seeing if anyone can get it to work or not.

that's already been solved with the armor, as a Sage you'd do 20-50 damage ^^

sorry, I'm too afraid you'd win XD


and besides, this topic is only for the battle system. If you want to post a suggestion that relates to any other topic then post it in the guild archives.

Sovereign - Defeat reigning title holder (eldest Sage becomes first
Sovereign)
+ 10hp (for the period of title holder)


Sage - Defeat 3 opponents simealtaneously
Dice goes 2 sides up + 5 hp armour


Scholar - Pass an ammendment in the "Brainstorming" thread
You get 10 hp + 10 armour


Samurai - Win with 'valor'
You will get, 5 hp life + you get extra dice


Knight - Attain "Blade of Chivalry"
You will get, 5 hp armour + your dices goes 4 sides up.


Squire - Claim victory in 4 battles; from here you can decide whether to take
the path of the Samurai or that of the Knight
here the person can choose between 2 options

This is whether you choose samurai or knight.
look at the samurai/knights extra stats


Defender - Defeat 2 opponents
+10 hp
+5 hp armour
Dices goes 2 sides up.


Peasant - Exist
10 hp
3 times 4 sided dices

as you may notice is that I changed the requirements of the number of battles you must have won to gain the title

I would think this is a fair, stats rising,
and also what I suggested in the chronicles tread, you could choose to heal or to attack.

or it's going to be a lame a** pokemon game about who has the strongest attacks (or in this case attack power).

but when you heal, you have to use one dice less. so instead of you regular 3 dices to attack, you use 2 dices to heal.

also I really think you should make a list of all the weapons you can get by donating, or doing honorable things for the guild or special tread.

Like i see poeple with katana's around here in there stats, like how did they get it, what do you need to do for that special armor or or weapon. what kind of weapons and armors are there and what special stats do they give.

you should really reconsider these things.
And i don't think it's that hard to change the stats, you just look at your current position and then you go down the list... or up, and look at the stats you will get after that list, for example I will take your stats armelin.

Samurai
Armelin:
Health: 30
Attack Power: (5-27)
Statistics: Has won 4/7 matches

Weapon: Katana
Armor: Iron Cuirass

well you are a samurai, so that means you would have these stats.

Samurai
Armelin:
health: 25
attack power: (4 times 6 sidesdices) 24 attack power max
armor: 5 hp armor
Statistics: Has won 4/7 matches

plus weapon power: (Don't know how many weapons there are so I can't categorize the attack power)
plus armor: (same thing here as the weapons)

and if you are a sage, you will get those extra, stats, and if your the sovereign you will get those extra stats.

And since I have, brainstormed allot in the brains storm tread I do think I deserve the tittle as scholar.

And if so I would get these stats

peasant-scholar
Blue-Ultimate:
Health: 20 hp
Attack Power: (3 times 4sided dices) max 12 attack power
armor: 10 hp
Statistics: not any official matches

weapon: bare fists (plus 0 attack power)
armor: rags (plus 0 hp armor)


let me say that the armor doesn't increase your life but protects your life until armor is broken. then you life will drop after those attacks.

Hmm, I really like the idea of monthly events which grant special weapons and such. I also prefer dice over the current system but as Thoreau would say, "simplicity, simplicity, simplicity". Already, a large number of newcomers find themselves initially confused at the rules of the battle system and I fear that furthened complexity will chase the majority of those away =(

The monthly events though....hmm.

I think every once every month or so I"ll host a cup which supports people of varying ranks. I'll have say...The Commoner's Cup (Peasant-Squire)
Tournament of Kings (Sages, Sovereign) and etc.

I have two concerns with this though...the first being limited activity (if I had a defender only cup, well...we only have one or two Defenders, what sort of tournament would that be? -.-) but that can be solved by recruiting more members and simply notifying them of upcoming events. My second concern is more complex, but I'll think of a solution later on.

Anyway, -suggestion approved-
(I'm going to provide a link to the battle listings in the arena as well as a link to the blacksmith in the battle listings. Monthly tournaments will also be considered.)

could we have a place where we could train by ourselves w/o having to wait for someone to come onine. like practice moves we can do and all in all raise our health with posts?
