Myth-simba's ideas (updated daily)

myth-simba · #1 09-24-2006, 06:35 PM

My idea of the day is dual wielding.
You can equip a sword and a shield or choose to equip two swords instead.
One weapon being equipped in the shield slot.

Therefore you can run around holding two swords

However it does not work for bows or wands.

well maybe wands it depends. personally i think running around with two wands casting spells twice as fast would be cool but i don't know what you guys would think of that.

Anyways two swords would make your character look better and perform better at the cost of defence, as you would not be wearing a shield.

Even the noobs can look cool now weilding two flaming swords.
They would then at least have something going for them, maybe smash bomys a bit better and look tougher.

Most games i play have this and for some reason graal has not had this.
so its just a thing you guys should consider.

If this increases their attack, which it should, well, it just won't work.

People are already powerful enough with one weapon. Dual -insert ultimately awesome sword here- is a bad idea.

harder monsters are being made...
even boss monsters.
So i don't see why it be a problem, make some level 110 monsters for the players with godly swords.

New kart track.
On event island the karting is moved there.
The track starts from one island and travels across the entire island possibly around it.
There is tunnels you can drive under, a thick road for maximum speed and speed arrows which give you a speed boost if you drive over them.

This course will be wide yet it may narrow as you drive giving the course maximum competition for the first.

KARTS IN GENERAL
Once you board a kart for the first time it will be saved as your kart.
Reason it saves is because they will be customisable.
you can buy paints, parts and performance tweeks to it.

When it saves and you dismount kart you have to go to usual place for it but instead of boarding the grey kart that exists today it would be your kart you first got on when you first driven.

There are commands too.

you have 3 karts. kart 1 kart 2 and kart 3.
You can remove unwanted cars if you are unhappy and ride specific cars aswell.

/delete kart 1 /delete kart 2 /delete kart 4
To choose your kart you say /choose kart (whichever you want)
however whilst riding the a kart you cannot use this command.

HEALTH
Karts have health.
Ramming and bashing karts or even crashing decreases the health of the kart and if the hp reaches zero you are disqualified from the race.
You kart is NOT destroyed however.

SHOP
Parts, performance and paints cannot be bought with platinum coins.
When you win races the winner gets an event prize as they do but also on event master hosted games the winner gets awarded points.
First place 100 2nd 50 and 3rd 25.
These points are the karting currency which are used to tweek your racing machine.

To see what you purchased and even equipped use.
/kartinventory
/kartequip (part name)
/kart unequip (part name)

Performance tweeks however cannot be unequipped but will be replaces if a higher performance upgrade is bought.

I like the idea to make a new, bigger kart race track on event island, with
better "roads" and tunnels, but not the speed arrows, that would be
too unrealistic (I dont want to say graal is realistic at all, but that'd be
too much)

Body paints and stuff like that would be cool as well, or at least different colors

The performanace tweeks are really bad. Then those freaks who are online
all the time and participate in all races would win upgrades, get better and
all "normals" dont have a chance... that wouldn't be fair anymore.

all in all I like the idea of improved kart races, since I love them and think
I'm quite good, too (not as good as Paul!o though

)

Posession spell.
If your magic level is high enough you can posess monsters and share their hp and attacks and so on.
if you die as this monster then the corpse will burst as normal but your character will be driven out of the body.

Reasons i think this posession spell be good is...
(1) fun, host little wars, summon loads of monsters, release, then tame some of your own and go battle it out having equal stats as your npc allies and enemies.

(2) Old event oppertunity.
The bomy race can be reintroduced.
Posess a bomy of your choosing and do what you once did, race! and even bomy fights. Fight as a bomy with equal stats as your enemy.
(Be good Rp, especially in the MMT, having bomy fights and people betting on victor ect.)

Of course the spell would have to be fairly common if you wish a lot of people to turn up to the event.

If i were to transform though i must admit i'd be a bat!muhaha.
Thats actually good if you Rp as a vampire!
Make a dramatic entrance.

If you wish to cancel and return to original character form then let a monster kill your posessed monster and you will appear next to it's corpse.
Or reconnect to get out of the bomy.
However an alternatve method could be thought of like how to return the monster's spirit back into a monster's body, so you can store it in your house for later use or add the monster back into your army.

Possibly a flute command, it wouldn't look too odd a bomy playing a flute now would it?
play the stop song or something and you appear near the monster you posessed. however i must admit it would be funny watching a T-rex play the flute haha.

Anyways thats for you guys to discuss, that was just a little 3 second idea about the saving body thing,

I just think if you were killing monsters with summon pet monster spell it woul be so cool if you helped them as a bomy yourself, getting rid of the player stats so monsters become challenging and fun once more.

pet hawks.
These valaint birds fly and fllow you around.
They also can fly over water and do not block ships.
Also when they stop following you they'll fly all over travelling far and wide and you can watch them on your map.
So if you want your hawk to stay use a peg and it won't fly far.

There is a special song for a hawk which will make them fly to your area if they are out of earshot so you can get your hawk if it flies off and also they can send letters to your friends.

have a message in your inventory and say /hawksend *lettername* *acct* and it will fly off with the letter to that person.
That player will then get a trade window from the hawk and it will be selling a letter for nothing.
The player accepts it then the hawk flies back to the owner.
If the player who is recieving the message cannot be reached i.e inside a house then the hawk will wait outside until the owner calls the hawk to his side.

If the letter is given to the player the owner is informed by a message via f2.

This would be a great way for postmasters to do their jobs but also great RP.
Also the hawks may deliver small items such as a diamond to a person.

(Hawk assistance!)

Hawks will help in combat.
If you are fighting a monster and the hawk is in follow mode the hawk will start to help you.
It will fly around the monster distracting it, drawing the monsters attacks to the hawk and will occasionally peck it dealing small damage.

Hawk pet is the only killable monster but it immune to player attacks.
To prevent players abusing this everyone is restricted to one hawk per account.
Hawks are also abtained differently from most pets.
To obtain a hawk pet you must trade in an evil bomy lord heart to a little hawk bird which is sitting on the top of igloo mountain.
Then you will receive a hawk pet egg.
even if you have two eggs only one will hatch and be yours.
Any other eggs will not hatch until your other hawk dies.

Hawks will like you straight away but have low hp so your close support is vital.
Hawks don't require as much food as most pets.
Store your hawk inside your home and leave some food there and it can survive a long time.

I can provide the graphics for these hawks if you require them.
I have good sprites i can give you.

I'm with you on this one.

ilovecurry · #11 09-29-2006, 03:25 AM

He has some good suggestions. Probably wont get done, but they are interesting nonetheless. It would be very cool if these ideas were done. I have yet to see any developement in GK, but all the ideas out there eliminate one excuse-
"we cant think of anything"
Not that ive heard staff say that of course.

Cubes · #12 09-29-2006, 11:27 AM

sorry I'm highjacking your thread cause sam is apparently closing idea threads but i think this is a good idea for the most part

The treasury is protected by a magical crystal which can be powered up with money or by owning conquerable islands - there would be a magical crystal on those islands and the power would periodically be transformed to the villages of the kingdom that owns the island. Strong villages would have more influence in the kingdom. Since the power that is taken from the crystals on the conquered islands is put equally into the villages of the kingdom it can be a bad thing if there are too many people, so auto-balancing the count of members of a kingdom. If the crystal of a village has no power anymore then you will need to feed it with money, or other people can open the treasury and loot your houses.
This idea would allow more individualism, since people can make their own one-man village, but would also encourage forming groups of people supporting each other.

Well Ed.
Thanks for pointing that out.
i'll make sure to make seperate threads for my ideas then.
Afterall its not classed as spamming or illegal.
i was "asked" to make the ideas thread.
so since you point out its easier to ignore i'll just post em seperately from now on.

ilovecurry · #14 09-29-2006, 10:09 PM

Sam deleted my idea thread because he said it was spam.
I was trying to reduce the spam of my usual "one idea per thread" thing!
Edit: I know this is spam but i just had to say

You did not post any idea in your idea thread, just advertised you will post ideas in it, when you have one. That was the reason, why it was deleted and why such threads will deleted in the future.
