Monster EXP

[Kixie]

if this creature that gained xp for killing players did kill 30 to 50 players, then the players would have to be alot lower level than the dragon. there fore the dragon wouldnt gain a buttload of exp because in any game usually what u kill is 3 to 8 levels below you depending on the game. how many times do u have to kill these animals to get even a little stronger. in the thousands. Monsters gaining xp is a great idea. if the whole mission of this game is to be more realistic then the xp would be a must have. these kinds of ideas should be accepted if we want planetshift to grow and be a great and well recognized game! i mean if they make a game like all the rest with above par graphics what are we gonna get? a minor upgrade to everquest, and thats just about it.

I?m having a hard time working through the logic of this last post.

This is basically saying the monsters won?t get much experience for killing players.
So why build the system that will account for nothing.  You?re gotta do all that programming and development and its going to amount to squat.  Seems like a lot of work for pitiful little gain.

A lot of ideas are presented to? make things more realistic?.  Not only is it not practical it?s not even slightly possible to make things totally realistic.  To work on things that the players will not even notice is not practical.

Well i don\'t really like the idea in general but i\'ll put in my two cents.  What if some monsters (generally stronger monsters) were to have evolutionary stages?  I know it sounds a bit corny, but you see, if a monster were to gain EXP it could change in appearance and become stronger after it lvls.  Then it could venture off to another area.  After it evolves again it could move to the next before it couldn\'t get any stronger.

Monster Stage one= (^.^)
HP=50 Def=3 MINATK=3 MAXATK=5 Kills_Till_Next_LVL=7

Monster Stage two= (*VV*)
HP=75 Def=9 MINATK=9 MAXATK=14 Kills_Till_Next_LVL=7

Monster Stage three=<{*VOV*}>
HP=125 Def=17 MINATK=19 MAXATK=25 Kills_Till_Next_LVL=null

Each time the monster lvls it would move further away from it\'s original area.  Maybe in a noobie area u\'d see a monster called blob who is just a regular blob.  When Blob Lvls he could turn into spike, who could be a regular blob with a turtle shell and spikes on it.  After Spike lvls he could turn into Tyrant, which he would have legs arms with spikes and a crowbar.  (just an example)

Just an Idea...

Now that?s an interesting idea!

It?s done in Japanese animation all the time.  I?ve got to kids are Dragon Ball Z fanatics so of course I?ve seen every episode.  It would be interesting to see a monster evolved as you fight it.  It could even say something like? now you?re going to see my real power? and then evolve.  You also see this in the final fantasy series.

Plus it would be easy to do.  I think it would work well for the really tough boss monsters.

Evolving monsters love it!
