Personal Opinions

[Lein-A746]

Alright. Before anybody tries to fight me on this.
The point of the thread is not to spread my dislike of the Wave Sphere skill system that the forum is using.
I want to hear opinions from the people since it's been implemented.

The main question I have to ask to you is this.

Do you think making a character on this forum is easy or not?
This question does involve the wave spheres in your character creation.

<-- will fully admit I haven't even started to try.

No timmmeee D: But I will get back to you when I do try.

haha if you have a problem with my system or think it's too complicated let me know. it's really the site's system, not mine. Honestly It may help to have a main thread that's just says easily how to create your character, with links to all the information on stuff. After that people can ease into all of the lists for skills and stuff. honestly it isn't that much different from regular games.

[Kagallie]

Hmm this is ture. I will have to work on that later on. (probably after the holiday)

I thought it was pretty easy when I was making my character! A main thread like Lineaux suggested definitely wouldn't hurt, though. I think that's a good idea.

I have a main problem with something else that was decided on the forum.
But that's due to me being a large MMO player.
But that's not the topic of this thread.
If you want to know feel free to pm me and I'll explain it.


Anyways.

I know the point of all Proboards forums is to attract new members with new things and ideas.
But it just seems that the Wave sphere system to me is complicated.

I'm not saying the idea is bad.
Cause it's a very original idea.

But picture it this way.

Lets say you are a new player to a mmo.
You've just hit level 2.
And you got your single precious Skill point til you next level.

Now lets say you see a buff you like.
Plant that point into it and you gain that skill.
At level 3 you could enhance that skill with another point.
Or get a new skill to go with it.

But here it's more complicated then that.
Or maybe it's just me being paranoid bout being with another dothack forum after the last two I was with went down.

I see what you're saying about it being complicated. The thing is, it's only complicated when you look at it as a system based on spheres. Thing is, regardless of whether it's attaching spheres to weapons or having weapons that come with spheres or even just gaining them as a character it's simply about knowing which abilities you want and how to get them. What I think is confusing most people about my system is the amount of FREE CHOICE you're allowed. that was kinda the whole point of it, was to have a way for people to choose their abilities instead of it simply being decided by level.

Infact, I was thinking of making it less complicated by getting rid of the skills and slots entirely and simply making a list of abilities that you can equip to your character at any given point. I'll explain it in a thread on the staff board.

It could not be that complicated.
It just feels that way to me.
