Sell your soul! (death idea)
 

Alright well.. I was playing around with candy when I thought of a pretty cool idea.

The idea is this.. Each player has a "spirit" or "soul" inside of them.. when they die, the spirit comes out and floats around. When someone touches the spirit (if they have a bottle) they will get a bottled spirit.

Now here is the whole point.. When you have a spirit, you will not lose money/arrows/bombs when you die. You will just lose the spirit.. but once your spirit is gone, you will lose money and things normally. When you drink a bottle of spirit, you will gain a spirit back. So it's kind of like extra lives in a way.

As long as you have a spirit you won't lose money and things.. You can carry 3 around with you also. :) This would be cool to have and people could kill others and sell their spirit bottles at the market or something :D

Also, maybe in order to gain a spirit again without the use of a bottle you must have 100ap (when you first hit 100ap you get a spirit) But if you die with 100ap you won't get another until you lose ap and gain back up to 100 again.

What does everyone think? I think it would be great. :)

Oh and here is a bottled spirit ;)

I thought of something dealing with the player's "essence", but this was waaay back when Asuka was king of Dustari. I had a magic idea which was much like what you just described.

hah, sweet! Now only if it were animated ;)

I like the idea!

cool, that would be awesome, now just if stefan or someone could make it. (which i doubt because no one barely has the time)

that shouldnt be too hard to script

I like it!

Thats a good idea BUT.
You could have different strenght of spirits aswell depending on how low the players ap is

Below 40ap - weak spirit you will only hav arrows saved

41ap-50 - medium spirit - it will save bombs/arrows

50-60 ap - Normal Spirit saves bombs/arrows/5g

60-80 ap - Advanced Spirit saves bombs/arrows/half of the total money saved.

80-99ap - Holy Spirit saves bombs/arrows/most of money with a loss of around 5-10g

100ap - Saints spirit will save all you have.

Of course these would only be used when the spirit is introduced at first. Although u could be able to buy spirits in a shop maybe? And you can capture any type of spirit tho. But rather than having to just run upto it and touch it make it you have to fight it. the stronger the spirit the harder to catch.

oh yea i forgot to say i like the idea

;)
 

I like it alot.
someone could make it then send it to stefan therfore not taking up much time at all apart from having to put it online:D

This is a good idea neo, but remember u can only loose 20g max anyway. And how would u fight the spirit unless it cut away like in FF :D . Or u could have it so if u got low ap u can only catch some and if u got high ap u can catch the better ones

It could fight by flying at your player and if it touchs you it take 0.5 hearts off you. But u must fight it with a special Bekun stick (that doesnt hurt players) it leaves a magicial trace that freezes the ghost for 3 secs and u can slash at it with your sword.

Not freezes, but stuns. If it freezes for 3 seconds, multiple players would gang up on it

Erm.. there shouldn't be npc shops that sell the spirits.. that would take away from players putting the value on how much they sell for.. Just like with instruments, no one wants to buy an instrument for the same or more then you pay in the store so no one would buy a spirit in the market or from another unless the price was cheaper then the store meaning loss of profit from the seller.

Having 10 different types of spirit might not be a good idea, it would be hard to tell which spirit does what for one.. They would have to be different colors and then even still it would be tough to tell..

However maybe it would be a good idea.. like when a player dies, depending on how much ap they have, a certain spirit is released. :)

the shop only sells basic spirits? so u have to work up to get a better protection? and if the player captures the spirit then they are making profit coz they got it for free.

extra lives is stupid, and it would ruin pking. and if you tried to put a just harvested soul into a bottle, it would be very mean. maybe we could capture ghosts and other spirits in bottles to be used for magical spells and rituals.

oh brother... dont even start that crap

I don't see how it would ruin pking.. the "extra lives" don't save your life.. they just save your money and bombs/arrows.. pkers still get the kills.. players still get the deaths.. its just to help those that aren't too good at fighting protect the little money they have...

Like sometimes I have money on me and I'm not paying attention and then someone kills me and I lose some money.. I turn away for a moment and I'm dead..

I don't see how it would ruin pking as much as it would benefit pking because you get to sell spirits to newbies for large ammounts of money just to go and kill them to take it away again. :D

It's brilliant if you ask me. :cool:

I agree with Kondias..(think i spelled it correctly)
but ya that would be a cool idea, I hope stefan spots this thread

I think what he meant by ruining PKing, was that players could save their items, and that PKers wont get profit from it -_-;;

Exactly, it would shaft the newbies. Newbies cheif source of money is either bredor pking, and that would really **** over newbies trying to get money like this.

HINT OF THE DAY: if they're newbies, then they most likely wont be good PKs!!#@!#$@!$@!
There's always bread baking, as well as you said, BORROWING.
We could use some baddies on NewMain, to both entertain the players, and to drop money every once in a while.

no one ever lends money to newbies, and I think it would be some sort detrimental if none of the newbies had souls.

I use to lend newbies(brad spankin' new newbies that is), 30 gralats so they could purchase either bomy equipment, or human equipment. Once bread baking came out, I stopped giving out money. I got so tired of being asked for money, that I gave all of my remaining gralat to CORPSE(435 of it I believe).

people need their souls to survive and respawn, so steealing it would probably turn people into mindless zombies.

Wrong! HATS turned people into zombies! ;) :D

hats turned graal to ****.

If there weren't limits on the hat store stocks...then NewMain would be that much happier of a place.

if their werent 1000 different hats that have nothing to do with anything on graal it would be a happier place.

Domestic abuse?

oh, and NewMain could use alot more mini-games, not just event type of games, more quests like the Fish quest, and not quests like the human heart quest.

Re: Sell your soul! (death idea)
 

We have discussed this idea long ago.. except, we called it a "ghost" and planned to allow the player to walk around as the ghost. Then, while the player tries to get back to its body, other players could jump on the ghost and control is around.
The only way to get them off of you is to keep pressing all different arrow keys....

Re: Re: Sell your soul! (death idea)
 

I remember that idea...
But I never understood why they weren't put online.

i dont like it because it wouldnt make pking any fun :(

Yes then I can steal peoples souls with my Soul Stealing power
>=)

And then that threat would have more meaning too!

The idea is pretty good, but if the idea was used then they should raise the amount of max bottles...

That sounds a little like EQ and Bomberman for N64:p, but it's not that bad of an idea.

Which also works with:
SELLING STAND 2 FOR 4,000 GRALAT AT STAND 8!!!@#$

I'm not wild about the idea. Once I lost my soul, I would never get it back. I have 100 ap, 0 kills, and I plan to keep it that way. I just don't have a soul though, being an angel ;).

*Likes the idea*
I don't fully understand how it would worik, but I get the basics of it
