redsoxlovr10 Report post Posted December 8, 2006 Wow, i actually did a search for this one and i found nothing, (probably cause its kind of an unusual idea). Anyway, let me ask u this, whats the weakest creature in EL besides a rabbit, y a newbie of course!!!! so heres what i say, you should be able to summon a random race of any kind, female or male at newbie lv, (everything at 1). And you would be able to summon the newbie at any summoning lv, u would get 5 xp, and it would take 5 bones and 1 raw meat to summon, and the tag for it would be NEWBIE like a monsters tag would be. Tell me watcha think and add onto it plz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheComet Report post Posted December 8, 2006 Really would pull away from the game ALOT imo... rabbits are already 100% successful to summon, and it's pretty simple to get it's required items Perhaps it could be to summon a brownie or something weak like that, that could work although still, rabbits are extremely easy to summon.

Well i think of this idea as kind of a fun idea that would make the game more enjoyable, i mean i would enjoy having a NEWBIE following me around like a body gaurd around IP, wouldnt expect people to be summoning them to much for serious combat and pking and stuff, maybe for summoners to get xp without nessecarily killing rabbits seeing how everything drops bones and almost everything drops raw meat.

Atlantis Report post Posted December 8, 2006 Doubt this would happen. The point of summoning is to temporarily bring back to life dead monsters, not 'create' newbies. Not to mention the confusion by the real newbies, that they are being "summoned" oO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conavar Report post Posted December 8, 2006 Might work if instead of summoning a newbie u summoned a doppleganger of yourself (with half the stats of the caster ie: a/d and material points)but then you would need to put some kind of restrictions on it example: human nexus : 3 items Req: 10 bones 10meat 2magic ess magic nexus : 2 sum nexus : 4 Does not attack others players characters only monsters (including in PK) dont want some Uber warrior walking a round in PK with a mini me Uber warrior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derin Report post Posted December 8, 2006 Summoning newbies has not been suggested before, but that could stem from the fact that it sounds too stupid for most people to even be considered. Summoning "newbies" would be utterly tasteless and quite pointless. If you would like to have fun with a newbie - create one and have fun What I could think of in the line summoning playable races would be somethin like ancestral spirits, they could be weak or strong, and be friendly or hostile towards you (a certain randomness involved, perhaps based on your actions?).

Gohan Report post Posted December 8, 2006 Summon specials? Dwarf: Harvests you ore. Elf: Picks you flowers. Human: Fight little animals. Orchan: Fights some larger animals and weak monsters. Gnome: Mixes you things, being smart as he is. HEs and SRs mixer at spawn? Draegoni: Fights things with Cold damage. Would be funny to summon an army of dwarves/elves and gain lots of money selling ores/flowers. -Blee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redsoxlovr10 Report post Posted December 8, 2006 wow u could just say u dont like it... i thought moderators were supposed to be supportive instead of putting people down calling it stupid, i thought it would be a fun idea, seeing how the game is supposed to be fun... not everything has to have a significant purpuse.

Summons die after a while they lose health, and besides how hard is it even to kill a rabbit im not a noob but still play for like an hour its not rocket science.

Derin Report post Posted December 9, 2006 i thought moderators were supposed to be supportive What on earth made you think that? Moderator or player doesn't matter in that case. Tasteless and or stupid ideas should be recognized as such. Sometimes it is only fair to call a pig a pig, not to be insulting, but beacuse it is infact a pig.

I dont think for one minute Derin was calling you a pig personally Red.More of a case he was saying some ideas are not very good and if so then ppl might comment that them ideas are bad . All because a player or Mod says an idea is bad its not an attack on the person who posted the idea just on the idea itself. I think we all suffer from the same pitfall of thinking are own ideas are the next best thing since sliced bread and when ppl dont see the GREAT idea we have had we are shocked but sometimes critisism is good (as long as its construtive). If you get ideas Red keep posting them but be prepared for not every player/Mod liking it and they will say so,but its not a personal attack on you if they do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

henderson Report post Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) well newbie thing is abit out there but i dont get why el is restricting summoning to creatures in the game i think you should be able to summon spirits of differnt levels but each spirit is unique and you need to read a book of summoning that unique spirit. If you've ever read the bartimus trilogy you might see where im coming from just an idea Edited December 9, 2006 by henderson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanyel Report post Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) Saying the idea is stupid or tasteless doesn't equal to say it's author is stupid or tasteless. However posting any suggestions and being aware of NOT having common sense is risky. It's like PKing. You enter you have to meet consequences.

Derin Report post Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) How bout this then, if u dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all??? Now that would be a two-way street wouldn't it? Your idea to summon newbies wasn't perhaps the most stupid idea I ever heard, but it sure is in the top ten. I rather be blunt to tell you what I think than say "oo nice" and I did provide what I think could work for summoning character types.

Mugwump Report post Posted December 10, 2006 Could call them 'citizens' instead of 'newbies'. How about just a few wandering ones (non-summonable) with different Material Point levels for different skill levels. It might appease those who prefer to kill people over animals! They could drop random stuff from gc to tools depending on difficulty of slay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
