Revision as of 22:46, 23 February 2008
just brainstorming by writing any posibility i can think of without thinking about if it makes sense for us or not
using
Secret of Mana approach
hold attack button to charge. the longer you charge the better the attack when you release it.
SD3 approach
successful normal attacks charge a combo bar which can be emptied to use a special attack
rage approach
the bar fills when YOU are hit succesfully
usual MMORPG approach
click icon or press hotkey to use special attack. each attack has a cooldown (or not). each use uses up mana (or not).
Street Fighter approach
special attacks are activated by more or less complicated finger acrobatics. they can be used without restrictions but you lose control over the character for the duration of the attack.
Mega Man approach
every special attack has a limited number of uses which can be recharged.
team formation
special attacks can only be used in parties when multiple people cooperate (like standing in a specific formation)
[Magic system]
Use our magic system for special attacks too, just that damage of special attacks is based on str instead of will -> would make int useful (maybe necessary?) for warriors. RP Explanation: Applied mana energy allows you to perform superhuman combat maneuvers.
obtaining
learning by leveling
reach skill level X and you learn a special attack
skill tree
every skill has an ability tree. you get a skill-specific ability point on each levelup you can spend on a special attack of your choice (passive boni, too)
learning by quest
Do a quest and get teached a new special attack as a reward.
design your own special attacks
players can design their own special attacks within certain limitations
blue mage approach
learn a special attack by getting hit by it (even in PvP???)
item-based
your equipment defines what special attacks can be performed
- integrate special attacks into rune system used for magic?
learning by attributes
attacks are unlocked by reaching certain attribute prerequisites
comments
I think a combination of the rage and SD3 approach would be good. With that method, both tanks and high agility players will be able to use skills fairly often. As for obtaining, having a skill tree, some gained by quest, and some with items would be a good combination to keep players very interested and inspired i think. -roderic
