I will not go in to every detail but here are the basics. Players at lvl 20 and higher gain the right to ascend after dying instead of returning to villiage. When a player ascends their character slot becomes a ghost and the player can create a new character on top of that slot that starts from scratch with one difference. They have a spell called Power of Ancestors. This skill can be used by the new character to call on the power of the previous character. What does this mean?? Well I will tell you. Depending on the lvl of the ascended character the new character will get +def and +atk for the duration of the skill. So if your ascended char was lvl 20 then the skill would be "current patk and pdef" x 1.2. So 200 pdef would be 240. 100 patk would be 120 for the duration of the skill. If ascended chard goes at lvl 25 then the multiplier is 1.25, lvl 37 multiplier is 1.37. Think of this, if u ascend your lvl 75 char then u would get multiplier of 1.75. I think this is an awesome idea. Do not really care if no one else does. Oh and to make it super awesome I would make 1 more power that would be called Rise of Ancestor. You would have a temple high priest call your previous character back. You could only call them back for a total of 5 hours a week. That way you dont totally lose the ability to play the character. When the five hours are up u would be teleported back to the closest high priest and turned back to your new character. Have fun with this one. :)
OK... all I have to say is, where did you get those shrooms?
cuz by the looks of it, the're awsome!
In other words, that idea is way to out there, and there seems to be very little logic to it.
Too out there huh. We can be sure you will never invent anything. They said the moon was too out there as well. Oh and the shrooms are a special blend :)
First I would like to introduce you to the "PARAGRAPH SYSTEM". I believe that system is even more awesome than yours.
As for your idea, it is not only a major change, which is very unlikely to happen in L2, maybe be considered for L3, but it is also kind of wierd.
Lets say, I got an elf char of lvl 40 and she dies. I make her a ghost and create a real fighter (dwarf) char. The Dwarf char would then from your suggestion be able to call upon the "Power of Ancestors" = the power of an Elf... That however would mean, that the Dwarf char becomes weak, clumsy and would start to look silly.
If a Darkelf calls upon the Power of a dead elf, they would likely sacrifice themselves to Shilien right after the spell taking effect and Shilien would deny the offer as she would not want a DE with Elven ancestors...
What I am trying to say:
Suggestions should kinda fit in the story to be considered as "awesome". Some smaller ideas can go out of bounds, but such a major change I would not really like as standing completely out of the story.
I could suggest for Dwarves getting a bazooka, which I think would be an awesome idea (making the Dwarves look more like Warhammer40000), but it does not fit.
interesting idea - wud you allow multiple ascentions for one char slot ? i mean wud you be able to stack ascentions? if so, farmers wud powerlvl up and suicide and stack massses of ancestrial pwoers - i knwo i wud :)
Ever seen the movie Ofice space and the part where the guy is talking about his idea for the jump to conclusions mat well I'll have to quote that move for this idea of yours!
"that is the worst idea ever!"
