Title: Glasses
Post by: Kuiper7986 on August 07, 2004, 05:50:34 am: I think glasses should be worn as an optional face equipment. For example if you had the glasses of truth you can scan enemy for its HP/MP items etc...

Also if you wanna walk around like a scholar type person in PS it could help the appearance.

Post by: Harwen on August 08, 2004, 05:00:26 pm: Aww, that\'s not realistic at all, I can wear a german sallet, a spartan helmet, sartaties and centurion, a box helm, and a leather helm with glasses on, and they don\'t even get scratched :( I say helmets to the blind masses!!

But I love you idea Kupier, they could be those nice brass-rimmed round glasses or the square-benjemin franklin style. Very nice.

Post by: Kiva on August 08, 2004, 05:46:52 pm: Oh oh oh, I remember one of my friends getting some glasses for his tabletop character, due to the fact that he had a kind of paranoia for illusion spells, and everything that was out the normal thing was an illusion. So a \"friendly\" mage gave him some glasses that could show what was actually there, and what wasn\'t. Good idea, however the scanning of HP/MP is a very, very bad idea. Anyone can see if a monster is hurt or not, or it can be learnt over time. There\'s no need for special glasses there.

Post by: Kuiper7986 on August 08, 2004, 09:53:48 pm: ya I guess scanning HP/MP was a bit over the top. I do believe that glasses also help the fashion of Yliakum, whatever that may be. Maybe the glasses can see through treasure chests and/or special containers/boxes.

Post by: Zyphon on August 08, 2004, 11:51:06 pm: Hmmm....yeah scanning HP/MP might be too much :D

Although it would be cool for the glasses to have invis seeing abilities. Maybe magical glasses can intensify light through the lens and burn your enemies? :))

Although the glasses would probably be very broken easily...

Post by: Syzerian on August 09, 2004, 05:55:22 am: Maybe they could provide say an extra 100 experience or something in a spell when you read a spell book. There should be some sort of bonus but not one that would make the whole of Yliakum need to wear a pair. But then again if its just for appearance and role playing perposes, then sure, by all means.... :)

Post by: Syzerian on August 09, 2004, 07:02:05 am: Yes but that means everyone will want to wear glasses (except me) because they give a bonus but not a disadvantage and having everyone in ps wearing glasses would look kind of goofy

Post by: MercenaryVII on August 09, 2004, 09:07:52 am: why not just have them for appearances. If you want them you wear them if you dont you dont. That way some people are happy and you get a near-realistic amount of people wearing them

Post by: ForteX on August 09, 2004, 11:01:12 pm: Glasses... I would rather have it as an disadvantage. Simply because if glasses were a benefit everyone would wear them. Would get really weird.
\"Oh, I just got myself a new pair of glasses!\"
\"Nice! What do they do?\"
\"They scan the enemie armor!\"
Yack XP
Also, being hit would make you lose your glasses and get a lower chance to hit the enemie.

Just as myopia, it should not be an advantage, should be impediment. Otherwise would be like Diablo II where everyone has the same items at a given level...

Exactly...
Or in some rare disease sort of thing where you need glasses to see properly, as Syzerian said earlier.

Post by: Adeli on August 10, 2004, 09:40:00 am: think it should be purely appearance... glasses with benefits are bad, and if they are just normal glasses, they could be unbreakable... then people don\'t need to replace them, and get to wear them to create a certain appearance... IMO glasses in games suck, the glasses shapes are generalised whereas faces and head shapes are different, so that they look odd when worn.

Post by: Cyberchu on August 10, 2004, 11:30:53 am: Well if a smith and a jewler come togeher to make a pair of special glasses why shouldn\'t a mage be able to bless them like a sword or anything else. If glasses cause long sightedness (a dissadvantage to close range combat) thaen that would prevent people from usingthem all the time.

Post by: Wormtail_ on August 11, 2004, 11:31:01 pm: Goggles could also be implemented for activities like swimming.

Glasses could, perhaps, be combined with helmets so that the helmet has a rectangular lens for the special advantages for eyesight. Something simiilar would also work. Regular glasses could be used for those that could not afford the more expensive helmets or are not willing to carry such a large burden on their heads.
