The Kingdom of Drakkar

I haven't been able to progress very far in Nameless yet, so don't know if the "Primal" disciplines are of this type, but I was recently thinking about ways to make new lairs and disciplines. Here is one of the ideas that came about... "Subtractive" psionics: Disciplines that [co...

Originally posted by Mihey Tear of Ages - an amulet that considerably reduces stress of all disciplines. There is an idea ;) Hopefully, that idea is seen by the developer, in this "thief" thread. I like your suggestion for psi-users. Maybe you were thinking it could be reduce stress of fo...

I was thinking that gloves for a thief might be fun, rather than guantlets. Here are some gloved suggestions... Surgical Gloves - Increases steal and mug only. Can have have agility on them. Description: Light gloves, weaved from the webs of spiders. They feel smooth and slippery to the touch. Ridin...

Originally posted by Merlin Shadeth, how about adding another rule to your guidlines? Merlins Rule : If there is coins all over the floor and 150 + gems on most hexes, LEAVE THEM THERE, theyre probably there for a reason, maybe just the slight chance that someone is hunting there. *Merlz* Merlin, I...

I don't think that people who loot my areas are doing so to cause grief, or to be impolite. This has been proven out time and time again when we talked. If I leave loot on the ground and I move offscreen I don't expect for them to find me, when they enter a large area. The #1 "hunting" rul...

We need better corpses to hit with. Or just use my corpse. It is enchanted. =P

Maybe a side-point is that: INT/WIS beyond 20 should have effects? Maybe lessens stress of disciplines? Haste junkies would love that. As would the enchanters of items, power word users, and probably any stress relations for new NL discs. Or, maybe more eps regen? Like for every +1 (beyond INT/WIS 2...

I like this suggestion.

2 cents added

Happy Jack, I think the fun factor is at the heart of your suggestion. Though your suggestion would add a "different" kind of fun to the class, it is my opinion that we would lose more than we would gain. Here is why: I believe that control AND prediction are paramount factors to the perce...

Originally posted by M a l e c I think strength, agi, wisdom, intelligence, etc.(depending on class) should go up with skills. I think this is a novel idea. When you place the weapon in hand, you would get a message? Something like, "You judge your experience with your <weapon> and find it eas...

Annoyingly, or happily . . . Arm guards in archery are called BRACERS.

So Brad would not need to change the name at all.

I agree. I have edited my original post to make this more clear. Thanks.

Originally posted by Acaciam If we get into arrows it would have to change the code totally around and then things about fletching and blacksmithing will come up, bows in drakkar are very unique and I have a char that uses bow skill and it works very nice, I would hate to see it change to add arrow...

I don't know if "Bow Accessories" fits within the vision of the developer, but I thought it might be of value. Some ideas... Quivers (must be on your BELT): Quiver of Arrows (uses up most of the belt slots): Placing arrow(s) also on your belt, makes them automatically fire and then return ...

(Mentalist) FORM SLOW at Target: The opposite of HASTE, causing the target to act once every Nth round. This in effect makes them miss round(s), while the discipline is active. If HASTE can increase the #of "actions per round" depending on the power of the Mentalist, then I think SLOW sho...

COB only? FORM TRANSMUTE [GEM]: When the "GEM" parameter is used, transmute will create glowing gems instead of coins, from the pop. If the hex transmutes for over 500k, then additional gems are produced, on hex. In addition, any on hex coins also go into the value, instead of disappearing...

PARTY ANNOUNCE [enable/disable]: A party leader command that creates a text message, announcing that a party existences in an area. When a non-party member arrives within range, they could see a text message like, "You hear the sounds of battle from the <direction> and feel it wise to move on&...

Hehe Merlin,

I understand. Hopefully, there won't be anymore of that, but instead a discussion about the pros and cons of "caps" vs "non caps".

Raiko,

Whatever Drakkar decides is best to implement "no ceiling" xp, skill, etc. would be fine by me.

ShaDeth

Raiko, It is very simple to prove, the integer vs float difference. Just use a large enough loop, and prove it for yourself. Concerning OpenGL: I wasn't talking about client side programming, but server side programming, where the game resides. And if you don't mind, I would like to save that discus...

Raiko, You had another implied issue/question in your post, that I wanted to address separately. As we all know, experience isn't the only "value" that needs to be large. Each skill and each train ahead value needs to be large as well. Skill values might not grow as fast as experience, but...

Raiko, You don't use Float types for "main" calculations, primarily because they are glacial (in terms of speed) for calculation. If you check the CPU cycles for a float calculation vs an integer, you will see what I mean. Check out any assembly book, they will have the cycles so you can c...

Prepare yourselves for a BIG BOOM... I would like to see xp/skills/stats grow "without limit". So, 10 years from now, maybe I would have a 200/100/100 Thief with an Agility of 50, and so on. HOLD ON. DON'T GET WIGGY. I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW. AND, when moving back to Nork/Cobrahn/Whatever my x...

Indeed!

Thanks DMan,

Having even 2 Healers, or 2 Paladins, etc. seeking each other out because of special party abilities was my hope in suggesting "Single Classed" parties.

However, like you, anything that brings PEOPLE together - I am all for.

ShaDeth

Thanks Brad, The reason I separated out the "Single Class" and "Mixed Class" parties above, was because I had hoped it would be less confusing - since it was such a long post.<g> Yeah, you may be right about it being more group friendly. I suppose, mixed parties could have "...
