Dragons

Post by jordancoles »

-Lands on your village claim occasionally after a recent village expansion of significant value (like dropping down 25 banners to extend your claim) or perhaps after keeping your village's authority up for a significant amount of time

-You are given the option to pay it tribute of a random item or a random set of items and you will be given another random item back as a reward (perhaps a nice reskinned item with some neat additional stats (flaming bronze sword, or a metal helmet with no AGI debuffs)

-If he is not paid, your village loses 75% of its authority

-If he is attacked he will fight back (make him really fucking hard to kill, like 4000 HP or so)

-If killed, you can make a dragon's tooth talisman which gives more str and has a different graphic from the beartooth talisman, perhaps a cloak or a cape from his hide, and naturally, the the skull can be studied or placed on walls in houses

Dragon does not care about your puny flags / expansions, nor does he want your puny "random items". Dragon seeks maidens and gold for his hoard/harem.

Should dragons be killable? Honest question.

We're in a low magic setting. Magic rules us, not the other way around.

Dragons should fly up in your town and eat your cattle, burn down your buildings and kill everyone you love, leaving you a broken husk of a man. IMHO.

just make em more likely to spawn and eat non paid... we whop cannot add cash to the game should be removed like a cold....


ok I mean really it can be from a payed skin... to a curse for hoarding/ being around to much gold. Unless gold ore needs mercury is added (go adding the made hatter from mercury poisoning thing to the game as well). Then it could add a curse to hoarders.

After the dragon killed to be able to absorb its soul, giving you a shout in combat. Lol ¦]
Why not giving it precious metals/aka GOLD to be able to ride on its back for some time? Would be one hell of a way to travel.

If we get dragons Im done with Haven. I certainly dont want another overt fantasy MMO. We have enough of those. And any mechanic that purely punishes is a a bad one.

I don't regard Wurm Online as being 'fantasy' but it has dragons and it makes for a great entertainment because finding a dragon is a huge event server wide. The game is split into 3 main kingdoms, so what happens is they would rally like 40 fighters and set out to kill the dragon to get dragon scales for scale armor which sells for about 200 euros. You would also get 'dragon slayer' title which you can have attached to your name.

If something similar to this was introduced to Haven, a bit like how Trolls currently are, then I don't see how that could possibly be a bad thing?
