ww3098zelda · #1 02-19-2004, 06:47 AM

well i have been recently looking at the info posted in the god selection but it seem way outdated and i would liek someone to update it liek
Brigid it says Ironwood Skin is a medium prayer yet i got it at low or dunno why this happened or if they changed it but after i switched from brigid to gov meh wall of thorns stayed dunno if its at low on gov now instead of medium or not

any suggestions ?

Yes, these informations should be updated - Balor's flaming aura as spell without level, and maybe a note should be added on what's working right now and what isn't (Ogma's Bracers for example).

To be honest, i don't really see the point. Gods are stupidly inferior to pwnage and prepped weapons now anyway; the relics mean jack crap in the face of event/alch/EAs (except for leuc's mith, which only 1 person has...damn her!), the avatars are....ok, i suppose...and prayers are laughable compared to weapons. Why even bother fixing some little details on the forums which are hardly relevant to the way GK runs now?

Because the fixing has to start somewhere.

Now did that sound like some holywood-style cold-blooded retort in the face of danger? Well, even if not - not being the most important part of the system (even though some might disagree here) doesn't mean it doesn't deserve attention.

God's should have a bigger role in the game, than just using them
to improve weapons and items.
Like maybe instead of just pressing the ~ button to pray,
and be in idle, why not offer things to them, and in return
they give us maybe the prayers, or items.
But we also have to kill things in their name instead of
exp (maybe a new mode).
And when we reach a certain level of piety (not wisdom level)
maybe we get something like a guardian, which helps protect
us. (like a glowy thing that goes around us)
But there is also a limit to praying in a day, so that nobody can
do 2 weeks worth in a day.
Killing people in your cult, will decrease piety.
Killing enemy cults, will gain piety.
Kingdoms should have an official god, or cult.
Using the gods, can also add to a kingdom war. (Religion)
Maybe pictures of your god, or like little altars in their name in your house,
can be nice, and then you can offer like a heart to it, and maybe increase
grace.

Hey i agree fullheartedly, but the key word there is -should-. We all know nothing will change anytime soon =/

*pessimistic mood*

It would be a great improvement in my mind,
so that the gods won't just be there, with no purpose.
Other than a improvement for weapons.
I hope other people do agree with my suggestion though..

I think offering sacrificies to gods would be better. Like you have to give so much plat/diamonds/food etc to the gods for them to protect your (the element resistances attained from praying to gods). And if you do not pray to the god at least like 5-10 mintues a day, he will bring down his/her wrath.

Something like that would be neato.

Yeah this is a neato idea (lol @ "bring down his/her wrath") but like...just getting resistance from sacrificings won't work, because resistances right now don't work. For example, leuc gives like, electricity resistance, but there aren't really any powerful electrical spells, and not many people use leuc-blessed weapons, and there are -no- monsters that use electricity, so noone would bother to sacrifice things to leucy

They have whatever role your rping gives to them - personally, I usually have tea with Brigid

I don't like the idea of buying items and prayers. Sacrifices are fine, but only if they're balances, godess-related and don't provide too large a bonus. A nice idea would be to gice parts of the godess' enemy monster to prove your worth, otehrwise the godess will reject you.

Holy pking? No, thanks...

That would limit the possibilities you have - GK lives from diversity, and followers of different gods. If a kingdom has one official god, people will either be restricted in some way, or it would be pointless anyway. Specially as there are more gods than kingdoms.

RPing could already do that - but see above.

I'd like small house-altars, but rather for rping and decoration purpose, no altar effects.

I agree with a lot of your comments but one of them that satrek
made like "holy pking" I didn't mean kill people, I meant like
maybe in "holy mode" what ever you kill goes to the gods, and
then they will be happy with you, and maybe increase luck, or something, once in a while.

I wouldn't say one person has Leuce's chainmail. Hint.Hint.

Hm... sounds a bit complicated, but I see your point. Maybe - if each god has enough evemy monsters arround - killing those would serve the same purpose.

Also, if there would be any kind of war system, it could be added that your god smiles upon you for killing a follower of his enemy's cult - but only if he's your kingdom's enemy....
