What's up peeps.
If this had been brought up in any time before, then I'm obviously super sorry I'm coming up with the same question again; although I did some search and found nothing like this before. But anyhow:
I'm not overly familiar with what are exactly the possibilities of the Tibia engine and how far can you push the limits of it, in terms of gimping the gameplay for the sake of creating a new and unique experience. I've been currently working on a small project and today while brainstorming ideas for new monsters and items, I asked myself 'hey, wouldn't it be cool if there was a monster who'd blind you, rendering your melee and ranged attacks useless, or a monster who'd silence you to make it impossible to use runes and spells unless you'd cure the status effect with an item (e.g. an antidote of some sort)?'
So in summary, would it be possible to add a feature like this into the OT and further ensure the game engine would work accordingly? And if so, then how hard would it be and what would have to be done in order to make it work?
And in case I haven't made myself clear, in case of
a) BLIND: I am thinking of a status effect (e.g. you are on fire, you are poisoned, you are drowning, you are retarded, etc.) that would make your hit chance equal to zero (or ~10% for melee attackers, whatever), and could be applied to the player, as well as any creature in the game.
b) SILENCE: I am thinking of a status effect (^) that would make the player unable to use INSTANT SPELLS, as well as RUNES, but at the same time make him capable of using any other items, like ropes, shovels, potions. This would not have to be neccessarily appliable to other creatures.
Why bother? Well, because it's always better to have more stuff and more ways to play around. Even if it would take up a lot of effort to set up, I'm pretty sure a new and fresh mechanic like this could make the game much more engaging and some fights much more riveting.
And duh, if this DOES exist in a million of other Tibia servers, then please link me to them and excuse my ignorance; I haven't been into this game for about 3 years and only in May I thought I'd want to come back and see if I still find the game interesting.
Cheers!
