New Items for the New Map!

Postby Jfloyd » Sun Sep 06, 2009 6:00 pm

Here's some small, but interesting items I'd like to see implemented after the new map.
Peasants Pack- A smaller backpack. Only provides 1 extra row.
Needles- For sewing. Higher quality bonus based off of material. Can be made of wood, bone, or metal.
Rings- Can provide a slight charisma bonus based off of metal. Would also provide bonus damage with punching. Softer metal such as gold would give higher charisma, but do less damage.
Lantern- (Provides a sink for glass) Would last longer than a torch and would burn brighter. Maybe even possible to change the color of the glass to provide a different color of light.
Enamel- Can be used on items such as swords, to provide higher quality, and protection of the item. (Enamel goes on the hilt of the sword for those who don't know)
Mortar/Pestle-Used to grind up herbs into medicinal mixes to heal a person over time.
Quill/Ink- Would be needed to write on parchment. Ink would need to be placed in a glass bottle. Ink would be made out of natural substances like roots. Dead chickens would drop feathers and they'd need to be worked into quills.
Writing table-Would be a hold for your quill/ink/parchment so you don't have to carry it around.

Another interesting feature would to have windows on houses that actually work to see the outside world. If someone walks by your house while you're inside of it, you'd see a shadow go by if it's day time. If it's night, they can easily sneak by. This would give a more realistic thieving environment. If you see the shadow, you know to arm yourself and prepare to fight.

As for rings, I'd think it'd be cool for once they're open to some sort of payment, that all the characters for that account have a ring item that can't be stolen, and disappears when they die. It wouldn't do anything, but it'd be something that people who pay could have.

What if backpacks offered slots based on quality levels? Like say, 1 slot every 3 or 5 or 10 points (whatever works)

but we should really test this stuff before speculating further on balance issues!!

If you care about realism, rings shouldn't really have much effect on damage (if any) unless they are specifically weaponised (knuckle dusters) You hit with your knuckles, not your finger bones... Bulky cosmetic rings are more likely to damage the puncher than the punchee.

I think the devs should first, (and probably will) spend their time adding things we actually need now that we have a new world. That is, new buildings ASAP, as we are all going to be rebuilding our villages, and boats, as we now have deep water.

Because as players were unable to pay for a game without some sort of ingame bonus regardless of if it is just visual and has no effect because we need to be more elitist.

Pay me $10 and I'll make you a special "Premium user++" client that gives you such a ring, as an added bonus it doesn't take up any slots on your equipment screen and can never be taken off by anyone!

Is the ring also invisible?
