One of my last big suggestion sharing threads was a meme one, about bad suggestions, but this one should be a bit more interesting.
Share a change you genuinely want to the game, something you actually want to see implemented, but you know in the back of your mind that it would be incredibly unpopular to share. Takes a bit of bravery to paint a target on your back, so let’s try to be cordial to one another’s ideas, even if you don’t agree.
Mages get m1s and m1 combat gets reworked
get out-
How would that even work though? Tiny little zap attacks that? Also how could m1 combat be reworked overall? It makes sense for bother weapon users and fighting style users. They are just… punching/kicking/stabbing.
Ability to change weapons casting name and casting style
Mages m1 could be like the basic arcania from wizard of legend
As for the other classes they’d have to be nerfed so you can’t kill anyone in 30s by spamming m1
As well as having their animations possibly reworked idk
add familiars like in ni no kuni
Bring back and rework the flight spell
hover rare spell at magic level 120
A completely reworked stat system built on the idea of compromise. Basically, you distribute stats based on how you want to fight, and your armor would have a reduced impact on your stats.
The stats would be as follows:
Vitality Stats
Magic Stats
Strength Stats
Weapons Stats
bring back heavy attacks
The return of Threats, and forcing the navy attacks on notorious criminals to only happen if you’re responsible for causing one. You could cause one by either destroying heavy amounts of property or by using a new “give me all you own!” dialogue option while talking to a store NPC, provided your bounty is at least above 15k
-Doing this would spawn a few decently high-level navy/heroes, and only when you defeat them would the Threat start for real
-Normal stores would close, allowing criminals to loot a specific amount of random items fitting the store in question (accessories from tailors, armor and weapons from armorers and blacksmiths, ingredients from alchemists) but denying regular players the ability to use them
-The Shipwright would be the only exception, but would only offer repairs and redocks.
-A notification would play in the server informing players of the Threat and where it is taking place, as well as who’s responsible
-The Threat ends once players taking part in it are all dead or after a period of 5 minutes without any criminals being in the area
-In the case of Palo town, executions would be delayed as long as the town is under Threat but the navy would respond MUCH more violently, with stronger NPCs ands ships that arrive faster
-If a threat lasts for a long time, maybe spawn a commodore miniboss who’ll either end it themselves with violence, or drop more loot for the criminals taking part in it but ending the threat state (With different journal headlines for either outcome: “Navy Flies To Rescue Of [town]/[Town] Pillaged by [Player who initiated Threat]”)
-There would be a long freaking cooldown on Threats happening in a specific town, it should be an event, not a constant nuisance.
-A threat starting would lower Navy Influence, but would raise it back if it ends due to the criminals dying. If it ends thanks to the defeat of a miniboss, it would lower influence by a tremendous amount.
-Blackrock Grotto could have its own version for Navy players possibly? Instead of being a Threat it’d be called a Raid or something
I sure as hell don’t think players would like for people to just randomly have the ability to stop them from going about their business, and threats were probably one of the most jank bits of WoM that i don’t see anyone missing. But i still think there’s a way to make them cool, damnit.
mages get a magic shield when blocking
just a visual change
sex update
hitstun on weapons and even more on fighting styles
don’t know how it’d be put into the game
hitstun would’ve made WoM unplayable, but now a mage being able to do good damage up close while facetanking the classes meant for it is pretty bad
this can tie in with this, too. tinier blast spells that fizzle out at short-medium range (like, 10-15 studs?) and have no hitstun so that it’s clear you shouldn’t be relying on them
give
Maple this is the thread for changes that people won’t care about, this is in the wrong place.
make positive quests optional for sea explorer (why does a person that’s massacred the grand navy have to rescue castaways)
at least if this isn’t the case in the bronze sea, in nimbus sea add a lot more negative/positive side quests that are optional
Give magics semi-unique spells to distinguish them
Also bring back infection
