Flight Fighting? It would be cool!
« on: March 29, 2005, 05:14:34 am »
Is there any flight fighting? As in like one person is riding  their creature and a lone bird type monster that is all pissed attacks, you could fight in mid air! Same with ppl! U could clip the bird type monster or riding creatures and they will fall. and if ppl are falling with their animal and both wings are clipped a person with a high enough level could just jump off at the last minute before impact with the ground( or teleport !!!).a magic person could attack from afar and not hav to get close and a ranger could attack from afar also.

Actualy with flight creatures and Klyros combat mid air is beyond plausible O.o and how in the 9 Gards do you get that suggesting flight indicates \"leveler 4 life\"?

I personaly think it would be a fun think to hve mounted and mid air combat... both those would be a first to my knowledge

yeah it kinda sounded a lil like that.. but it also sounded just excited by an idea as well... try to think more how people could mean things not how they seem at first :)

we\'ve all been a newbie excited by the whole thing before and rushing with ideas that also excite us n_n

EDIT: ok second part of that doesnt mean how you think it does.. i realise its ambiguosly worded though ;( :P

Well it\'s a good idea, but hard to implement, well actually pretty hard to implement.

Our fighting system is a very generic RP one click, stand in one position watch the outcome. But how are flying creatures supposed to stand still in mid air? So for flying fight we would need an more arcade like fighting style like in gothic. So when you want to attack some one you would have to fly in his direction position your lance and so.  BTW. About the jumping of in last moment thing: The impulse wouldnt change that much you would be squished to mouse ? chocolate even if you jump off

But the problem is when flyers have that combat system, non flyers would feel it\'s unfair (which it actually is) do before speaking about mounted combat you should speak about combat in general.

Another way of course would be the KOTOR style, where you give the command and the character moves there and attacks. So you click attack and the character dives at the enemy pointing the lance (for instance) automatically.

But I personally would preffer the arcade style.

like when u r attacking u can pick the style of attack and all u hav to do is control the beast ur guys riding on ( ur actual person attacks as soon as they get close and hav 50- 50 chance of hitting the other person. when falling ur character gets hurt right, well ur really not flying that high( that is wat the devs said i belive im not sure). lol. but i see u guys points. k thanx tho. im really new to pc rpg. i usually play ps2 or gamecube. my friend introduced me to this game. lol.

p.s. wat does BTW mean? and wat does KOTOR mean??

p.s. again: also sesmi u dont hav to be so mean to me about this ur like grr with that icon ( on the first post i mean. lol. sry if im being harsh also :-(  )

I think it would be a good idea if it was made properly. Perhaps it could be a mode of fighting. You could temporarily glide into the air and come down for an aggressive attack. Who knows, it may be a good idea in time..

It would be alot better if after combat was completely implemented, that while you were on a flying creature, you could encounter random, or player initiated attacks that would stop your flight temporarily and cause you to start in a  normal battle, with your creatures as your platforms. Just a random thought I felt like throwing in.

Ideas lead to inventions. In this case, the more ideas, the more chance the devs can make something close to it.
