007 Report post Posted September 19, 2004 This idea would take some time to implement, but it may be a good addition.. Hows'abouts' adding different fighting styles into EL combat? these styles would be decided upon by the creators and head storywriters, and they'd be styles that are unique to EL (so nothing like kung fu etc).. the fighting styles would be researchable, probably rare drops, and different styles would give you different advantages. Example: (not real.. JUST EXAMPLE!!!) Frukas Style: Research required- Fighting, Advanced Fighting, Frukas Advantage(s) given- Extra 10 damage to each critical hit Disadvantages- NONE@!!!1~!@ bwahaha Research Time- 4000 min. Drop- 1 in 9mil in each Tumaros kill...? etc etc etc ^JUST A FRIGGIN EXAMPLE DAMMIT good idea? bad idea? stop suggesting stupid crap 007? **!@#$@#$ EdIt $#@$#@!** about the "These would be decided on by creators&storywriters"- this would be because: 1. creators r in teh charge 2. storywriters could incorporate these styles into EL's history Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyanna Report post Posted September 19, 2004 Hmm...let me see: Elven Windflow Attack: Research required: Biology, Anatomy, Combat Tactics, Special Combat Tactics, Elven Windflow Materials Required: Uses up 1 Air Essence per special attack Skill and Attribute required: Attack lvl 20, Perception lvl 6, Dexterity lvl 10 Description: The great Elven House of Lotharix, all renowned warrior-mages, developed this special melee attack, capitalising on the elven strengths of speed, dexterity, and sensitivity to nature. It involves a large number of highly-skillful feints, which have the hidden side-effect of creating a small air-vacuum around the enemy. When the flow of the attack suddenly pauses, fierce winds rush in from all sides to fill the gap and temporarily immobilise the enemy, allowing for an easy stab through the heart. Effect: Decreased accuracy, Critical damage x3. Dwarven Dustcloud Defense: Research required: Biology, Anatomy, Combat Tactics, Special Combat Tactics, Dwarven Dustcloud Materials Required: 1 Earth Essence, 1 Air Essence Skill and Attribute required: Defence lvl 20, Inorganic Nexus 4, Toughness lvl 10 Description: The dwarven miners, in the battle against the female orcs in Mynadar, discovered this defensive tactic. Using their superior knowledge of geology, and their ability to endure harsh conditions, they create a dust cloud around themselves, using a particularly foul mixture of irritant gases and minerals. This causes their enemy to become blinded and distracted if attempting to attack them, and while allowing the dwarf to go on unimpeded. Effect: Increased defense, enemy accuracy decreases. Something like that, you mean? (I'd prefer to see them as quest rewards, though, rather than just another rare drop) -Lyn- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shasso Report post Posted September 19, 2004 Interesting... anything that makes fighting more complex is, so u need some experience to be good and not all depends on skills+attribs.

duran Report post Posted September 19, 2004 heh, i belive that tactic have allready been tryed on a similar subject... on topic (partialy) however, i would realy like to see variable attack speeds. say a smaller and lighter weapon have closer spaced attack while heavyer weapons would lead to more space between them. allso, a general slowdown of combat so that one can observer more what happens (right now you barely have time to read the damage number of one attack before the next one sets in)...
