Alright, this is my first game EVER, so don't bag on it if it stinks please. Just recommendations.
It's going to be a PvP game. Pretty basic stuff though
3 classes: Warrior: strong, heavy armor, melee attacks. High endurance, low speed
Mage: Magical, light armor, ranged attacks. High intellect, low endurance
Rogue: Quick, medium armor, dual wielded blades. High speed, medium endurance
Then Sub-classes
Warrior: -Tank: Withstand heavy damage, high health, very slow, shield and 1-handed weapons. -Beserker: Medium health, faster, two-handed weapons, sacrifices health for attack
Mage: -Warlock: Summon creatures to aid, dark magic, very low health, powerful -Elemental: Controls air, water, fire, and earth. Uses surroundings to advantage, low health, situational damage
Rogue: -Shadow: Very quick, stealth, very low health, high damage output, short-range and melee -Hunter: Have ONE pet, bow and arrows, medium health, debuffing abilities
------------Character Sheet--------------
Name: Class: (choose main class type, sub-classes unlocked at lvl 5) Health: Hitpoints, reaches zero and you die Damage: How much you can damage a player per post Strength: Abilty to over-power in melee fights, and resist effects. Warrior damage factor. Speed: Deciding factor in who attacks 1st, and likely-hood of hitting/dodging. Rogue damage factor Intellect: Number of skills/spells players have, and how effective they are. Mage damage factor. Weapon: Determines damage, and what abilities you can use Armor: How much damage you can disregard in attacks Abilites: (gain more as you lvl up, and passive abilities unlocked) Ability 1 Ability 2 Ability 3
I might think of more things as the game progresses. this is the beginning though
-------------Experience-------------- To level up, you must fight other players. The amount of fights needed to gain a level is directly related to your level. So to reach level 2, you must WIN 2 fights. To reach level 3, you must WIN 3 additional fights. So to reach level 5, you must have won at least 14 fights TOTAL. Exception: losing a fight gives you 1/4 experience. Losing four fights counts as ONE win. So it is possible to win 7 fights, and lose 4. This will make you level 3, with one more WIN needed to level up to level 4.
I will give you choices in weapons, abilities, spells, attributes, etc. I will also determine who wins in fights, BUT whoever attacks the most with posts wins.
