Equipment

[morgaine]

I think it would be cool if equipment bonuses included options other then basic stats.
Something along the line of added abilities, (special functions that are not currently available to any class especially). I remember my buddy having a pair of 3 or 4 dex perm Fly wings about ten years ago. I think they were called feathered arm bands. This is kinda what I'm thinking, though I would like to come up with some ideas outside our current skill system. Right now its pretty easy to get a good set based on stat bonuses. Infact, i would almost go as far as to say too easy. The problem is that it gets boring hunting for additional stat bonuses and working in combos etc.... and i wish there was an additional element to consider when choosing gear.

so would these items be unwearable if it didnt have the effects.. like 2hr perm fly?

and it would probably exclude spells that already have effects like eq that is already made like strength and bless

I think maybe we are spreading Tynian's resources too thin. While I like this idea I think Tynian might be working on some other things (If you have read the other threads).

I think we should focus on getting more people to play and frankly all these 'grand' ideas mean nothing unless we have the player base (consistent).

I bet if we change it to The Naked Challenge we'll get a lot more players. Just sayin'...

[Tenko]

OMG! Naked Challenge indeed! In a text-based game??? Explain how that works exactly?

[Otak]

Anduin told me about The Naked Challenge once.. he's just going to try to webchat with you and show you nasty things.

[Anduin]

I just meant change the name

I've discussed this type of thing with the implementors before. what I was talking about was something like an amulet of tongues or a helm of comprehension. The concensus was that if you want to see these types of permanent items, write a zone including them, figure out the coding required to make them work yourself, submit it and try to get it implemented. These types of items should be limited, and possibly inventory flagged.

or at least that's what I understood the concensus to be...I have been wrong before.

I don't remember having that discussion with you, but okay.
