Those of you that know my server: Darkonia, i want some advice.

I initially set out to have a mix of vocations i.e. mage, ranger and warrior (3 vocations that gained promotion)

Though i had an idea.

What about if i scrap the vocations and just have "adventurer". You yourselves build the character as you wish. There will be choices within quests and other features that provide you with your spells, and bonuses.

So all players will gain same cap, hp and mana bonuses. (there are items that go into a "artifact" slot that add bonuses like +100 health etc)

Therefore it will be more of a build type you create. Rather than have limited choices i thought of opening it up. The world will be more of a role playing game inwhich you can choose your own destiny and shit ;)

I wanna know if your views on reducing to just 1 vocation?
 
Well obviously it all depends on how you build your character. If you try to focus on distance, melee and magic all together, you'll obviously lose out on certain things and therefore be weak. It is better to specialise, but i will do my best.
 
I'd prefer adventurer cuz I think it's more fun that way.

Maybe something like this


Adventurer then Mage Ranger or Warrior and from there I think it would be cool if there were 3 more classes withing the 3 classes(classception). Would be complicated but would also be cool ^_^
 
The first option, I think it would be boring and complicated with the adventurer thing, my opinion though ^^
 
Fair enough but i can tell you it'll be more fun as adventurer as you build yourself up.

Late, if i do adventurer, there will be no promitions, just titles e.g completion of certain quests will mean certain nocs will call u that. Tho you would always be adventurer..

Im tempted but hmm
 
Cmon xD
Like you can go from Mage to Necromancer, Magician or Wizard and the Warriors can chose Swordsman, Axemaster or Club Hunter XD
Btw I'm just coming up with random names for classes xd
IMO I think it would be fun but hey, thats me xD
 
that would be cool, reminds me of Secret World type of character building, also it would be nice if someone choose e.g melee with ranged to use both weapon at once, when he gets close to the monster he use melee, when he gets like 3sqm further from the mob he uses ranged, without actually trying to find a ranged weapon, checking if the hands are empty etc etc. btw ghostx, does ur sword still looks like a critter?
 
Sword? It was a shield nub. And it still looks like a shield. Lul. U n ur critter fantasys :p

Late, i specifically do not wish to follow the 12 class vocations D: the adventurer would gain abilities like sunmons depending on his choices. The story quests (on choice) would take you onto different paths..
 
so it will be sth like ascalon just with more choice right, [ thinking of those 2 kind of reward one for def one for atk] u will be able to like choose ranged boosts, healing boosts, defence boosts, melee boosts, LIFESTEAL [ tbh i think its the most exciting feature ive ever saw in ots lol]

Wow, you're stealing shitload of my ideas.

Wat? Fuck off. I aint stealling any ideas.. Please tell me "all" your ideas im stealing? Because i've been developing my server for over 12 months now and the map for about 18 months.

I have always questioned whether i should do this, and now i have reached the balancing stage for the vocations, i am asking.

- - - Updated - - -

I've just checked your threads, i see nothing of "adventurer".

Pretty sure ur idea is a sould that develops into a human? Mines nuttin like that.

It's not. I actually don't mind this idea that much, it's somewhat similar but not that equal, due to it's generic nature. Nevertheless several other systems of yours are alike; I'm just asking you to keep it real. I mean, I was only willing to share those ideas due to the spriting you were supposed to do for me, which you never actually even updated me with. I'm sorry for taking it to a public level, but I'm guessing this is the only way :p

@Jaedy
Yeah, I recently came back because I started developing a new server. Nice to see you're still active as well. How about you, working on anything? MSN/Skype?
 
Santy seriously stfu. You never told me shit. My systems are all over the place anyway. I took the systems from
Runescape n wow.

Take this to a public level loool who you trying to fool?

Actually, i discuss ideas when i think of them with people like epic, tarjei etc first. N then i remove the bad bits of the idea. Dont act like im stealing your ideas. If there is one thing i hate, it is being acused or credited for something i didnt do.
Now fuck off, with these phony allegations.

@perox

I think trees are too cliche'd
 
Skill trees are fun D:

@santy; Have you ever even talked to GhostX before? And have you ever published anything about your idea?
 
He has spoke to me but about a sprite i had to make of a soul that develops into a human. That was it.

And id rater have it so player has full choice everywhere

Regarding his sprites... I had no time exams n shit
