CT-1 and L3 Wishlist....

Okay guys...I'm sitting at work and I just wanted to know what other people would like to see in both the upcoming Chaotic Throne and Lineage 3 content. Be advised that this is not a game suggestion thread as you are not limited in your responses based on the viability of your wish being granted. So be as straight-forward, creative or as silly as you like...

As for me...


For CT-1: I would love to see a new race and at least 6 new skills for each race. I would also like to see all current skills lose the toggle attribute and just be flat buffs or skills that don't drain MP.


For L3: I would like to have the ability to create a chaotic or non chaotic character and have there be positives and negatives for either path. I would also like to see more realism in the combat system where shields can block magic and mages can miss.

Fire Away...


Da Smookster...

Hey you're the dude who hooked me up with the fish crap,

thnx.

Yup..that was me...and you're welcome...

Now add something to the wish list!!! ;)


Da Smookster...

boars that give 2 xp per kill and die in 1 hit no matter what your level is.

summon scorpions.

sword of 1000 truths.

Yup..that was me...and you're welcome...

Now add something to the wish list!!! ;)


Da Smookster...

A working and improved community server? :)

In the Thronicle, I'd like to see some kind of overlordship involving massive PvP. A "last Party Standing" kind of thing.
Hero's would lose their Hero Abilities in the competition. Why? Because it's a competition that should last, not a slaughter. As the current olympiad system is, it's very easy for a zerg clan to get almost all the hero slots.

In Lineage 3 I'd like to see a new conflict system. I thoroughly like your chaotic/non-chaotic character idea but the race wars could have started up as well. Within each race their can be Hero's for the non-chaotic, and Infamous for the chaotic ones. Chaotic characters would only be able to do business in area's that are chaotic controlled on their race's side unless your character has a stealth skill or some kind of spy skill.

Hey you're the dude who hooked me up with the fish crap

That's what email is for in game... oh wait, it's down again >.< ;)

CT1

More skills, or preferably, mystic dwarf professions.

L3

1. XP for crafting
2. Slightly more NPC driven economy
3. Much much better quest rewards (eg. 13k adena @ lvl 70 - ?)
4. Many more armor options (so you arent limited to a ugly set of armor because of the stats you need).
5. Many more options for char customisation (eg. Guildwars).
6. Possibly specialisms within professions (for example, making fire attacks your main trait as a nuker, as opposed to being good at both fire and earth - or whatever).

For L3: (...) I would also like to see more realism in the combat system where shields can block magic and mages can miss.

Seconded. Also, lose the stupid IFF ability of nukes ... it just doesn't make sense and makes playing a nuker in a group too easy.

I'd like to see more magical dwarfs myself. Though they'd imbue magical traits to weapons and armor.
Who wouldn't LOVE to see a fire sword (with real flames!), or a water sword (just oozing water)

L3: improved PVP system....on my nukers all i do is:spam,3 sec recharge,spam,recharge,spam,spam,spam,spam= win PVP...maybe better animations for fighting?....i like the WAY over the top fighting moves. better community, tired of ppl calling me gimp and worthless class. funny tho when i kill most ppl in 1 combo using only 7 charges or less.

CT1: The Age of Healers and Buffers (the island of unwanted party members is getting crowded :p)

L3: An unprecedented level of customization. I want to be able to change the color of the stiching in my leather gloves. ^^

L3 a game where its not /target person f3 f4 f5 etc make it so you cast things into an area like an archer chooses what direction to shoot arrow and it hurts first thing it runs into. somewhat of a cross between fps and strategy. maybe have it involve a joystick?

CT-1: no expectations

L3: Euro servers right from the start. Magical imbues on weapons, made by dwarves of course. More character customization - like changing lenght of hair, skin color to some extent, eyes and mouth shape etc. Plethora of weapons and armors to choose from, just for diversity. Defensive skills and abilities have some role in PVP. Maybe more specialised character professions, not being able to learn everything available for my class and nothing more. Specific weapon and elemental masteries. Fresh and hot L3 website.

If we are talking of wishful thinking, the list could be long.

- Elimination of farmers, bots and boxed clients.
- Better quest rewards.
- Less gamble. (Days of grind for a chance of getting a rec from quest that can fail at craft and can fail at over-enchant ...)
- Tons of weapons, armors and combinations for sets.
- Lose the /target for combat.
- More PvP.

this is the reason why NC takes its advice from professional developers.

I said "wishful", not "constructive" thinking.
:P

Okay..okay... I thought of some other things I could wish for!!!


CT-1: I wish they would add a mercenary guild that you can hire healers, damage dealers, or tanks to help with raids, quests, or leveling. Also you can hire mercenaries at a lower rate to assist when sieging a castle if you're signed up to attack. Let the castle siege mercs for the attacking sides be strong or weak depending on who owns the seals in the seven signs tourney.

L3 - Make the skill system based on popular card games like Yu-gi-oh! where any level has an equal chance of killing a higher level if they play their skills correctly. Have quests to find new skills and have rare skills in game.


Da Smookster...

Couple of new ones...


CT-1: I would like to see some kind of ranged dagger class with throwing knives. Really fast throw time, but medium accuracy.

L3: Add bad habits into the game. A person can start some kind of power boosting herb or medicine that increases stats, but will also become necessary for performance if used over time. Has negative effects if used for too long.


Da Smookster....

CT-1 : Maybe add the 4 sings that missing from the 7 sings.
Better website with more info on already released armor,weapons etc . Info on the random factors of the game .

L3 : Focus on CT-1 changes first ^^

Dwarfs craft boats, fishing boats, row boats, skiffs, and on up to frigates (ie pirate ships) which would be massively expensive with regards to mats.

I'd like to see more magical dwarfs myself. Though they'd imbue magical traits to weapons and armor.

I like this idea and it was proposed in some other threads. The mages have group magic already so there is a system set up for it. Maybe there should be group crafting / enchanting - take a WS/Maestro and a mage and they can imbue magical effects to weapons. Maybe even have this work as a buff instead of a permament ability [similar to Holy Weapon] but what is new is you can see the effect.

I think that NcSoft should take some of the best things from Lin1 and Lin2. I also think that instead of a whole new Lin3 game, that the graphics engine for Lin2 be updated and there be more areas.
I also belive there should be safe areas for noobies to level pre 20.
From Lineage 1 -
Poly Wands
Abilitiy to enchant a mop to work as a summon for you. Any mop except the really big ones.
The karma system. I really think the Lin1 karma system was better than the current one we have.
Teleport Bookmarks w/ BSOE's

Things that could be imporved.

Remove the CP Pots completely.
Make quests that give unique items that can't be traded but can be added into your toon to help
Individual rooms w/ trophies, decorations, storage, etc.
More races, more areas, better AI
A commitment to stay with Lin3 and develop it as an on going concern like Second Life, Eve, etc instead of knowing that one day there will be a Lin4 so this will die too, just like Lin1 is dying a bit every day now...

better skill animations. i want prominence to do ask the skill says; light my body on fire and expel the flames like a snake sheds it skin.

one thing i would love to see is channelling. imagine it like a flamethrower; you dont hit hard with burst hits, but rather focused energy on one target doing HIGH DOT.

I'd like more attack movements instead of just two or three normal hits with each weapon type.

EXCELLENT WISH!!!

Wish I had thought of it. Yeah more animations would be good for both CT-1 and L3...

These are extremely good suggestions.

Quite frankly, why do we need a L3 other than updated graphics.

Or more specifically, unless they intend to seriously change gameplay then why make another.

Sure, the graphics of L1 over L2 was a quantum leap. But the L2 Graphics can still wear for a bit. Updating the graphics engine would help later on.

But if L3 is just L2 but with better graphics then what a pain in the neck. many will leave L2 for L3 (possibly myself as I'm a graphics [censored]. Shame really) and many will not want to leave as they have invested a lot of time on their L2 characters.

What I would like to see in L3 is better attention to detail. Perhaps a bit more consistency between races. All the races seem as if they were designed by different people. I know that they designed each race to reflect regional tastes but I just don't think it works.

Better warehouse managment. Actually implementing better clan management at the start.

Perhaps more to do? Is it just going to be one more grindfest? Granted, I find it relaxing but can it really sustain a game for years?

Better quests. Either that or a more robust pvp system where you get xp for pvp.

Perhaps alternate rules servers for different segements of the population, hardcore and "not so hardcore".

Better options for armor and weapons. Not just "more" but better ways to personalize it. Perhaps being able to add what resistances, damage, attributes to each grade.

This way you can see 6 people wearing karmian but not know how each player is set up.

A better way to manage the player population. Quite frankly, it just seems a waste to have all of these great areas (gludin, gludio, wastes, etc) and have them be ghost towns.

What I love about the developers who develope Eve is that they are just making it better all the time (whether you like the game or not is another thing). They are dedicated to expanding the Eve Universe and the playability.

Quite frankly, I want a different development team for L3. I know this seems harsh but I think that the players of online games are going to be demanding more of these games. Especially with more and more mmo's coming to market. It takes a lot of resources to create one. It must be a great experience otherwise players are just going to hop to something else.

I don't envy the L2 world once L3 hits.

It would rock is L3 was a retelling of Lineage 1. Fighting the pretender king or beleth in 3d would rock. jus my opinion. :p
