Before you flame: me for not ressing an old topic, i wanted a new topic so i would actualy be able to form the  basis of the idea so we can work out the best combat system. also if any mod/admin wants this deleted go ahead, i understand i am a moderater of forums. and i have been an admin (although unsucsessful due to my lack of enterprising)

Was this moved? if so it is an idea, if not so, put it in the ideas thread.



My combat system idea:
Real time aspect:
Now c\'mon, we don\'t want someone who has no life to be the undipuded ruler of the game, so why not have a system where you push a button that does the corresponding move? think of it, rather then have a litle button where you click on an enemy and watch the stupid people do the same thing back and forth until someone dies... make it ecsiting, this would bring in fans. they could also sell special controllers for just enough (a three dollar profit for each one?).
First person shooter aspect:
What about the games like counterstrike, or james bond? in which you take a gun and aim? the crosshairs and the longrange? you could go around and you could use special items that would be similar to grenades. you could use bows, crossbows, spears, javilins, slingshots, single shot hand cannons, and some spells. this would bring an awsome aspect to the combat in the game.
The role playing aspect:
the spells, say the words and aim the spell and have a certain percent chance for it to work well. although this would not be fun, it is the only good system i could see for them.
The riding aspect:
other than flying beats, why not have horses aswell? and wagons, canoes, sailboats you name it it could be done. a wagon or stagecouch could have multiple people in it, several archers shooting off of the sides, and bunches of arrows flying. with this could go the best pvp ever, full open, no rules. people could speed by in wars and open fire.

Has any one else wondered why the lag is so much higher than in other games??? some are barely affected while others (like myself) are lagged to the point where they can not even play.
       Well, i have meant to post this for several months. the Ps Developement team wants one server, this can never work. We need at least twelve servers (two for each man operated continent) so that people will not be so messed up. and I\'m not saying a server to stick you in for good, but something for an option, mabye a universal server as well, but this will not work. to many people from to many places with to many connection types means to much lag! we need multible servers. this is not a wish, but a warning, this game can not go much further without more servers.

Well i have a few questions answer the ones you please, please answer one.

1. limited experiance???
well, is their going to be a limit on experiance??? i mean it is possible to have unlimited if you start level one of a skill at 100 exp and then everylevel it is 2x the last level (example= lvl 2= y2{y being the experiance needed for the last level}that would be 200, but lvl three would be still y2 which would equal 4) if you do not get this you will when you get into that in math class. if you don\'t get it still after you went through this it means basically double experiance needed for next level.
i know ps won\'t work in levels but i dun know what else to say.

2. combining spells/skills??
well, will it be possible to combine say the azure way and the blue way or the red way and the black way for a special power boost? you know like make you stronger? also combining smithing and tayloring??? stuff like that.

3. death toll?
will their be one?? or will you allow players to carelessly die constantly for fun?? i mean the death realm is nothing, just find your way to a portal. their will be maps all over the internet.

4. secrets?
will there be secrets?? like secret races that are unlockable through poweful quests with high levels of magic, ect. ect. or.

5. uniques???
will there be uniques that will be one of a kind??? like a magicc crossbow that is all powerful over others??? just wondering.....

6. city distance??
will the distance be truely vast? taking rl days to get their or will it take less then 40 minutes to go around the world?

well answer these. i did not see any of them in the guides.....(well other then the distance thing, i was jsut unclear on that) so if you see the part that explains them, quote them here.

how about allowing up to 30 smiley icons, they could be no bigger then 25 by 25 pixles and would have to be a small file size (you decide) along with 30 icons with the same specifacations.
edit: the smileys below are some i made.

well, i was wondering if the \"merchant way\" would take a long time, like make you wait while you are going from one place to another? so like if you would have to wait rather than an \"instant transport\" hoping for the waiting process so you can play board games and card games!

import your own card game rules it would be fun!


will the slow way be rewarding??? and will the game be trueley massive like take actual, rl days to get from one place to another? or will it be prunescrape sized???

and will their be ground mounts??? not the flying bests but some horse like creature??? or have your flier hop (fun).


how about the elite way???

will it be truely elite??? will you be able to join in combat? i understand that you may direct me to the manual but i found nothing of what i ask in that

on the top of my screen it says no harware acceleration?? what does that mean???

yeah, i played it for like 15 minutes but their is way to mutch laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag  it\'s rather annoying but at least i got my charactor name in time (torch blackrose) yay!!!!


edit: lol forgot to ask, how do i fix this? is their a way?

yes i know that we all hate this idea and i know it is touchy, but before you spam listen to this,

when you think of the guns idea you think of people talking about this stuff

but i want to talk about this http://www.albion-small-arms.freeserve.co.uk/14th15thcent.htm

true fifteenth century guns, the way i see it is they would be effective anti armor weapons for armor that a bow can\'t really puncture, but they would take a huge amount of skill to actually hit with (range skill) and reload would start around a 3-10 second reload (when being charged plus how fast you click powder adding) or a 2 turn reload and would go up with a reloading skill, you could get a knife attatchment (bayonet) and sutch, and these guns would be powerful but would require manual powder and reload (put in the right order, if yyou don\'t you get hurt). these guns were around during fifteenth century and mid fourteenth century, so they would fit, they would also require blasting caps and other materials to fire, if they fire. and when you fight with them it would go with your staff fighting or spear fighting skill (once they implement it)  get it??? it\'s not to far fetched and not rigged at all. but if this gets out of hand with flameing i would request that it be turned to a \"warning about disliked topics) thread
