Meow!~ its been a while.
So, i was talking with someone ealier this afternoon about missle weapons (bow and guns) and i could not help but to come up with a few ideas. i know i no loger play this game but i can still wish... and maybe one day when i come back to it it'd be nice to have somthing like these wishes to come back to. So lets move on to what i had in mind~
Hope you are prepared to read cause this will take a while since it's been so long since i last posted a wish.
*************************************************
REASON
Seeing as missle skills do double your base damage in poking compared to a weapon and weapons do way more when used with a skill, you've gotta wonder what missle skills would be like if it was incorporated into the game.
So higher the base, the better the bow/gun from just poking or volley. but if and when they do add missle skills they well likely half it to not be over powered knowing IGG. >.> Would be cool if they kept the doubled stats of the bow and just sold the skills to use with bow.
Just have them in forms of scrolls and books. Each scroll should be 25p or 90p. Where as the book (skill packs of 5 or 9 skills sold in 1) will be 450-680p (or what ever is the multiple of each minus a %, to save people money and make them think the pack is cheaper than the singles)
Knowing IGG they may make each skill scroll the same amount as a SS and a Skill book the same amount as a a new weapon or 880p
It should not be hard to code in the skill to get, cept maybe the animation of the actural skills, but that also should not be to hard. Just have a "When fire arrow scroll is used add Fire Arrow to physical list, or invent a new list/tab) it'll be added same as if you were to get a skill from a quest.
QUEST VERSION
Perhaps you can go back to calcutta and talk with the guy under the condition you have Arrow Rain/Volley this quest can be activated.
After getting Volley and paying the 2 stars, talk with the old man once more and he will tell you of bow a master somewhere in China. You go to china and on the part somewhere towards chang'an capital you meet Houyi who is standing face to face with another man, both are pointing their weapon at each other. Houyi in stance with his bow and the other man in stance with his pistol. John Hardin or James Hickok or whichever other great/famous gun slinger happens to be. Heck could just be Uncle Hunter from Mayan Forest (so as not to make any more new chara) But for now lets call him Hardin.
Speak with either and a cut scence will happen. They will argue that their weapon is more deadlier than the other. They see you and will ask you which is better. You tell them that both were invented because of the sling short or some history/trivia you happen to know about. They will ask you which you think should win and you must then choose bow OR gun (same as the chiken/egg quest or athena/venus quest you can only choose ONE side so make sure its the side you want)
Choosing Houyi
Upon choosing Houyi, Hardin will challenges you to a shooting game (the gun game where you shoot the animals) When you win Houyi will gloat and Hardin will walk off saying he has better things to do than to waste his time and says he knows the gun is better. Houyi will thank you for helping him and give you a prize maybe a exp pot or 2-5% exp pill or stars or what ever. He will then tells you that you're good but he's heard of a greater archer in Athens. You go to athens and you find Apollo (or Cupid lol which ever you think it should be).
So you venture to Athens and you find Apollo at the sun oracle, inside the temple next to the Priestess. (hmm... maybe you'll need to do a pre-quest. athena/venus is wayyyy to hard. so perhaps the quest in eqypt.. because having him stand next to the priestess would contratict what she has to say cause he was kidnapped. so perhaps maybe you find him outside at the entrance or in another country or you will need to do venus/athena prequest making this skill that much worth it since you get it free)
Ok what ever the prequest may be you will need to then fight Apollo. 1 on 1, solo. Upon winning he give you a bow skill that relates to your element. He also tells you that he can teach you more skills but he's far to busy. He will mention that his twin sister Artemis has written many manuals about the hunt (meaning bow skills) he will give you a scroll you can purchase for 50k gold or 200k gold w/e seems fair. He will then mention that she is not of this world and if you want more of her knowledge of the hunt you will need to seek out a commissary that retails to all worlds.
In english he means the Item Mall. In the mall you can get ALL the avliable bow and gun skills.
Choosing Hardin
This will be the same as Houyi except you will have to fight againts houyi. Upon winning, Hardin, gloat in which houyi will respond that he's wasted to much time and he needs to return home. Hardin will give you a prize and then mention how tired he is and need to find a Inn to rest at. he walks off.
Go to Chang'an Inn. Go upstairs you will find Hardin in a room talking with a girl. Talk to him and he tells you to leave him alone he's busy. Talk to him again the girl will leave and he gets angry because you ruin his moment with a cut girl. He fight you solo, 1 vs 1. Upon winning he says you're quiet good and not many has ever won againts him before. He will give you a gun skill that suits your element. He will mention that he has an old parchment with details of learning a new skill but he will only sell it to you for a price because he needs to get somthing to drink down at the bar and also find himself a new girl.
Charging you 70k or 250k gold (yes gun is more expensive muhahahahah...) After paying, you get a parchment. you then ask him if there are ways to learn more gun skills and he then tell you a story about how he had to sell a few of his personal items when he ran out of money purchasing a ticket for the boat fare on his way to china. he sold his jornal and other items to some retail store that caters to all (Item Mall, sold per page). The sicko in the store ripped the book apart saying he will make more money if sold seperate... Hardin then laughs and says he made sure he made it clear that he got his percently income.
Upon getting either Skill a new Tab in the skills section will be created; GUN or BOW and it will list all your avaliable gun/bow skills collected.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The quest may turn out to be super hard bepending on the prequest you may need to do maybe you end up fight Houyi and Hardin side by side with some cowboys and soldiers each having 17k hp and the bosses having 23k hp. before the mini game.
OR maybe they are not happy with your choice and they take an army againts you after the mini game. with the above HP i mentioned.
OR after traveling to athens or chang'an you have to fight apollo or hardin with an army with the above or more HP i mentioned...
*meh* either way it all works. If you want both skills have 2 characters one with each skill tree.
You will get 2 skills FREE (other than paying the scroll fee). The fisrt skill you get will be from completeing the quest and getting the skill of your element. The next skill will be a random scroll (if you are an archer) or a random parchment (if gunman). The one received will be non tradable so people will not cheat the system and make alts to get other skills and trade. Ones in mall will be tradeable.
LIST OF SKILLS
All Neutral skill will be close to the other as possible giving each a unique reason to have choosen the other.
All elemental skill will be the same, the only thing that will change is the diffrence in element and the names they use. the animation will be the same for each type except for the arrow or bullet they use.
ELEMENTAL
FIRE;
Bow - Flamming/Blazing Arrow
Gun - Explosive Shell
WATER;
Bow - Ice Missle
Gun - Water Matchlock
EARTH;
Bow - Rock Feather
Gun - Lead Seed
WIND;
Bow - Whispering Willow
Gun - Aero Wadcutter
NEUTRAL SKILLS (can be used by any elements similar to volley)
--BOW--
Flaming Volley - does double the damage of volley with the help of fire.
Artemis' Rage - shoots a single target (hits 8 times)
Apollo's Sacrifice - takes off 50% HP of a player and 25% HP of a mob for 20% of players HP.
(can't think of more right now but you get the point)
--GUN--
Rapid Shot - Similar to elin's minigun but dealing damage to 4 targets across front or back row (hits 4 times)
Tank Missle - Explodes on contact to the target. Dealing 2k additional damage to your weakness
Harmonic Point - (similar to louis attack) Attacks 2 targets in a row front and back
Head Shot - like FB (instanct KO to a single target with half hp) for the sacrifice of all or half your SP, must have full SP to use)
Elin's Laser - attacks a single targer with a laser (hits 3 times)
I only named 5 skills each but i'm sure you can think of lots more maybe there should only be a total of 7-9 skill max. new skills can be released as new versions comes out and perhaps like maid clothes you can only use certian ones and if you have more than 9 you will need to switch out one for the other. Which means older skill will be permantly lost and replaced with the new ones you choose to switch it out for. You will need to go back to the mall to repurchase it. Permenant skill will be the quest one and will go to your physical skill list.
Well i think thats all fow now. I've already spoken to much so any other wishes i have will have to wait for another time.
