[checked]Sanity's Suggestions/Ideas

[Sanity]

Login Security : You have Game ID & Password, but what about 3rd gate, 5 digit number you have to enter, now this can be set at the users choice, you set it by your account on the website, which will make it a lot harder for any hackers trying to hack your account. If not at the login stage, then the server you play on.

Refine: Collect Ruby's, Diamonds, Emeralds, Sapphires ect... to refined into a stone which adds stats, going by small (20 Crystals), medium(40 Crystals), large(70 Crystals) and XL(100 Crystals).

De-levelling items with a special scroll, this would be very rare, this would go under refining, maybe 1-50 success rate, if success it would de-level what ever item you choose to -1.

Shop: Make it so your pets are able to create a stall for you were you can sell your items so you don't have too.

Fishing: Make more fishing rods with level requirements on them, the higher then rod the better chance of catching a fish or maybe you need a higher rod to catch a certain fish.

Town War: Having a town war every week, you must register your guild into the war in the middle of the week to be able to take place, would last 1 hour, after 50 minutes has gone, who ever dies cannot re enter into the battle and at the end which ever guild is standing on the stone or the most members of a certain guild on the stone wins.
Now you have won the war for that town, you have a discounts at shops within that town and a better chance of upgrading.

Media:Having a media centre within the game, which lets you listen to your own music, just like a Dragon Oath music player. Stop users using there own which may lagg them a little in game.
Along with playing music you can so watch a movie, you can watch it in a little screen in the corner of the screen or full screen which ever you decide.

Ok that's what i got, trying to think of ways other then grinding, and having something to do when you are bored, all the things i have said have usually came from a Chinese games.

Thats Sanity's suggestions/ideas for the week :p these are more ideas for the future really, some of these ideas might be already in game, if they are let me know :)

[Cerefear]

I like the Login, Shop, Fishing, and Town War ideas, but not the refine and media.

Most games that require good armor that has been refined a lot with certain items is basically who has the money to buy the cashshop items. Its like who can buy the most Gems from the Cashshop to drop it into the armor to become extremely strong. While this does help the company make money it makes it kinda pointless for others to play that doesn't spend as much money if they wanted to become the strongest players. Primary reason why I quit most the games I've tested is people can buy all those Exp boosters or Armor upgrade bonuses with cash and be the top player.

The Media Option think it would have a lot of problems with record companies because Dragon Oath would be running copy righted music? Meh I don't know, but adding this option seems like it'll be a lot of work, and isn't really worth it.

For #1, u mean like a captcha? Then anyone who rob your account can do it. IF not, they can easily use the pass to go to your account details and change it. Maybe I didnt understand your idea. Correct me if so.

For #2, I heard they have gem which is similar (also add stats)

For #3 Nice idea but why would u want to do that?

For #4 This make pets not pets anymore. U suppose to bring ur pets with u to nurture them. (my opinion)

For #5 Nice idea

For #6 Gud idea but think abt it. If multi guilds are fighting at the same time, chances are they allies in some ways, make the war unfair. Maybe if u want a war with another guild, you can go to an NPC and propose a battle or sm=oething like that

For #7 I think I mentioned this in my other post, anyway good idea too

NIce suggestions overall keep it up

[satsujinken]

I guess what he meant was a 2nd security password so the hacker would have to know both passwords to actually hack u, I think its a good idea, some games already use this but only on the site so the hacker can still login into ur account and steal ur items but can change ur account info... Ive seen some games with "anti-deletion" system, when u make ur first char u write a password that will have to be used when trying to delete chars, maybe if there was some kinda password like this one but to use when trying to login with the char would be nice but i dont think its possible to change so much as to make this into Dragon Oath

[Avagddu]

The one thing I have a problem with is the town war. There could be guilds with huge amounts of members, and if they're going against the other guilds, it'll be fairly easy to win if they have the advantage of numbers.

Also, for the " once you die you can re-enter until 50 minutes elapse " doesn't work too well. People could just die and pile up in the few minutes before they're not allowed to get in. That way, they can easily win by just sitting and waiting.

Maybe we could make some sort of different types of those battles? Like...

"Sudden Death", where once you're out, then you can't go back in, and the last person standing gets their guild the win.

"Survival", where after a certain amount of time, the most amount of people from one team* win.

* A team would be compromised of 6 guild members, and there would be a maximum of 'X' number of teams per guild depending on the size of all the guilds, so that no one guild would have the advantage of numbers.

Also, we would have to do something about the levels, but I'm not sure yet. Maybe have a system where only 30-50 can go in one match, 51-70 in another, 71-90 in another and so on?

[Sanity]

Good point with the town war, maybe you have a score, every kill you do you gain a point, this way you are better going from the start...

[ancient_loser1]

:) most of the stuff in ur suggestions are in the game excerpt the twon war. HOwever there are others war in da game :cool: and for my opinion i think there are too many war in da game already. Well the more war , the more fun , i guee.
About the pet , uhm you can purchase a pet store at one of the city so u can store as many as you want for 2 purposes : selllling strong 2nd generation pets , also you can use pets to boost ur pet's stats up ( there are 10 levels, and it may take a few hundreds pet to boost ur pet stats to level 10). :D

And does the wars actually have a point or its meaningless? I mean... U get something from the war if u win? Like, conquer a map, a town or be able to do something that others cant and all? Or its just a plain useless mass pvp?

[Cerefear]

ancient, Sanity means pets opening player owned stores, not a storage for pets.

[Avagddu]

De-levelling items with a special scroll, this would be very rare, this would go under refining, maybe 1-50 success rate, if success it would de-level what ever item you choose to -1.


This sounds pretty cool, but the only problem I can find with it is that someone can make an account that makes a bunch of AMAZING items level one, and then give them to his friend, make another level 1 account, and get the items from his friend. If he did that then he would have an advantage over most people for many levels. Unless I misunderstood your idea.

Like i said, it would have to be a rare drop, and dose not always succeed and when it fails that item breaks, so it would be really hard to de-level a high level item to use for a low level.

[Cerefear]

It probably wouldn't be an item that you get from boss drops. I'm pretty sure it would be a cashshop item.

[Avagddu]

Cash shop item would be way over-powered. It should be some sort of boss drop, maybe a 5% chance to get it from killing an extremely high-leveled boss.

[Sanity]

Yeah it's diffidently to high of a item to be in a cash shop, would ruin the game, like Avagddu said, a drop from a high level boss.

[satsujinken]

I think this "de leveling system" would make sense and be rly good if lets say, the max lvl is 150 ( just guessing ) and so the strongest sets would be lvl 160, that would make it rly nice to hunt high lvl bosses to find this item but so it couldnt break the item when failing cuz this would be frustrating to hunt high lvl bosses for a rare item, find the best equips and when u go to use it *poof* broken xD Just having a mid to low chance of working would be enough already since its a rare item and the equips are the strongest which means they are also rare... If the strongest equips are the same lvl as the lvl cap then it would be pointless ( in my opinion ) to actually have this system cuz lets think deeply, would u get to hunt bosses for a rare item just to have a 50% chance downgrade an equip that u will use for a few more lvls? I wouldnt xD

[Avagddu]

Ooh, how about this, there could be, just as an example.

De-Leveling Scroll ( Say 10% Chance to level to 1 )
Evil De-Leveling Scroll ( Say 50% Chance to level to 1, but if fails will break item.)

There could also be scrolls that would lower down to different levels, like,

1, 30, 50, 70

And they would be the lower level scroll, the more rare. So the highest level bosses would drop ( at a very low chance ) Deleveling 1, and some lower ones, would drop evil deleveling 30 and deleveling 30, etc. And then have Evil De-Leveling 1 be the most rare, only for one boss and very low chance.

Yeah making more then 1 scroll would be cool also, tbh this could be put into a crafting system, scroll + orbs + herbs ect... just for something to do other then hunt, needs a lot of thought before doing it tho.

[satsujinken]

Would be awesome to do as I said, with the strongest equips being higher than the lvl cap and making the bosses who drop these scrolls also higher than the lvl cap so we could make parties to raid cuz I hate getting to the end game and having nothing more to do xD

Yeah but Id prefer havin raids and stuff than having to make other classes and doing all over again =/

[ancient_loser1]

:D oops yeah i sure do misunderstand him. BUt yeah the same for ur stuff , u can open a storage and pet them on sale . Although open a stall at pop place you will sell more productively.
About de-leveling item :( idont think thaz going to happen becoz gear of higher level has special stats which would make the lowbie way too strong to be a lowbie: stats like + 35% to ur basic dam, + 20% to ur health pts, + 2755 health , etc. Also the gear will be too rare or too expensive( buying from other players ) that you dare to have it break if failure.:D:eek:

Sorry it is hard to understand you.

What i ment by pet shop is having your pet stay in town or where ever you would like to put him and use him to sell items so you don't have too do it, tbh it dose not even have to be a pet, it could be a item which you can use as a stall so you don't have to sit around all day and sell items.

You don't understand the de-lvling, the odds that you would even get past -5 levels would be 1/1000 (just saying) so you will not have a level 100 item which you can de lvl it too... 20 because that is just pure stupid. About the selling and failing well that's up too you, i believe a lot of people would still buy these including myself, could even be the most popular and expensive sale : )

[ancient_loser1]

:D will see

[Avagddu]

Also the gear will be too rare or too expensive( buying from other players ) that you dare to have it break if failure.

This is exactly why the scrolls with a higher chance will break the item. It's because it's the consequence for failing, which makes it a little more even, and keeps those items in check. And it'll probably have to have a lot more things worked out, but the higher the level of the item, the less percent it'll go down to. And also, like you said, even if it is such a small chance, if one does manage to do that, then it's really really unfair. We can also make it so that you have to be able to WEAR the item, and make it so that you can't be wearing more than one of the [special] equips. Also, if there are gems in the item, the gems will be destroyed even if the item is converted. Does that seem like an okay idea? I think it'll actually discourage people a lot, and only be for the extremely high-leveled people.

We might actually want it to be not that strict, otherwise it'll pretty much be a waste if no one uses it XD

If we want to get rid of a bunch of the restrictions, we can actually half the duration of the item and make it un-repairable, which might help.

[ancient_loser1]

I too hope the US will be different to wut im playing : too pricey:o
One rare gear that im talking about cost over 100 usd in real life :D ( this is no joke . Happening in both viet and chi version)
OF course i hope it will be cheap in the US :( i hope

[Avagddu]

What do you mean, you're selling and buying gear with real money? :-/

[Sanity]

What do you mean, you're selling and buying gear with real money? :-/

Hes talking about the item mall, In there version they sell rare items for a lot of money.
If you don't know what a item mall is then il explain.. Every Free to play game needs a income to support the game, if it's free to play then they cannot earn money so they open a item mall were you have to pay real money for special items.

But i really do hope they don't put in stupid rare items in the item mall, Sick of splashing out on cash to buy items to survive in the game.

[Avagddu]

Ahh, item malls, cash shops, etc. I hope they don't have those kind of necessary items either, but I doubt they will, just cool costumes, etc.

[satsujinken]

Ahh, item malls, cash shops, etc. I hope they don't have those kind of necessary items either, but I doubt they will, just cool costumes, etc.

Some viets are talking abt some gems that are only available on cash shop ( or u can craft, not sure but w/e ) that are rly unfair with those who dont have it.

Btw I'd like to see some non pvp events since not all ppl like PvP, I liked Zu events when I played alpha, they had quiz events, hunt mob events and everyone who participated would get exp ( exp was the reward of all events basically ) was pretty nice ^^

[Sydonia]

There is actually a guild battle available in the game...I suppose you could always meet up somewhere and duke it out ;)

This sounds pretty cool, but the only problem I can find with it is that someone can make an account that makes a bunch of AMAZING items level one, and then give them to his friend, make another level 1 account, and get the items from his friend. If he did that then he would have an advantage over most people for many levels. Unless I misunderstood your idea.

I think he is right, if the "stones" are going to be mandatory, then there is a huge chance of people exploiting it by making a new account just to create a random toon. That concept is in ROM, it has ruined the game a little. But I like your last idea and the TOWN WAR idea. I don't know if territory capture is available in guild battles or not as of yet, but it would be a heck of a cool feature for end gamers wanting to PvP, and am still a n00b, but have seen people wanting more PvP at end game in MMORPG's., so this will make a good addition to that. Whereas, for media center, that was exactly what I wish when I play MMORPG's. So far I like what Dragon oath has done. But the movie thing u said is intriguing. I would love to c that incorporated.

And as for Login, Yes another secondary password system is a good idea, and I have seen a lot of new MMO's doing it.

I don't use pets that much, cuz I don't like it, so no comments there. whatever is introduced, I'll b happy.

But for fishing, I don't think lvl'ed rod's are such a good idea. Because, right now its totally random, which kinda makes it based on luck, and if u have fished before, that is exactly how fishing should b. If it becomes based on the level factor of the rod, then it will be another "SPAM" item in the auction House, when it is introduced. Besides, luck is better that money based leveled item, cause if its random luck then everyone is equal.:)
