my combat idea

[Kixie]

I have had a vision....
Notice how ever other mmorpg battle looks the same and boring. Basically all that is happening is somebody swings thier sword. the sword hits them or misses, repeat, etc. or in magic somebody makes a ball of fire, water, earth, etc. throws them at somebody, repeat, etc. yet again. Why dont we start with something fresh, new, innovative?

What i think the develeopers should do is make the game battle look like a movie. For each level of attack 3 different attacks or counter attacks possible. here are some scenarios just for player A

1. A attacks B
2. B attacks A, A blocks and makes spectacular counter attack
3. B attacks A, A fails to block and is hit

Maybe even add some mix to it. I saw the post where people were discusing if players should gain xp through books. what if a player could learn certain types of attacks via books. So player A learns in a book \"spining blade of fire\" attack. And lets say this attack can only be performed as a counter attack.

This would defenally add some spice to the battles instead of people making fire balls and swinging swords around like baffoons.

I see that you put some thought into it, and it sounds kinda good. If you just add some more detail into it, this could be a good fighting system. Ill be waiting for more posts in the future.

Here is my input:

Functions: (you have to create them)
\"RAND()\" is the random number generating function

\"A\" is the Hero
\"B\" is the Enemy

Series:
(0) -A attack B: Hit
|----B attack A: Miss

(1) -A attack B: Miss
|----B attack A: Miss

(2) -A attack B: Miss
|----B attack A: Hit

*****************************************
#include
#include

int main()
{
int series = (rand()%2);

if (series = 0){

}

if (series = 1){

}

if (series = 2){

}

}
