[OOC] Side Quest - Sword Art Online

[DestinyStar]

I'm currently playing an MMO where on top of HP damage, you can get Minor Injuries or Severe Injuries (usually from dungeon traps) and they will deplete you HP a little at a time (like 2 points every 5 minutes) unless they are healed. You can heal them either by standing in a heal spot for 3 minutes (per minor injury, longer for severe) or by using these "Injury Kits" that are actually kinda expensive.

It could be something similar with Sapphira?

@KabenSaal yaaay! PvP between the gorge queen and the midnight fist! Lets do thiiiiis

Later, when I get home from my 12h shift today....

@Haeo

I personally don't think I want my character to be THAT special, like to be the only one who this could happen to. I find the idea that it is fixable by something incredibly rare and expensive pretty good, though. Also... I still think it gives the RP more depth... and more drama concerning the PVP players, which we don't necessarily have to delve into.

@PyroDash888

Sure, that sounds like a good dramatic device to me and it takes the pressure off. My only concern, if I was setting it up, would be the lack of opposing characters. We don't have PC Player Killers so it's harder to balance and build the presence of the threat. It still adds depth and drama and we don't have to go deep into it at all. It's just one of those things where if too many people show up scarred then there would be a certain demand for a PvP fight with the players doing the scarring.

[Haeo]

@DestinyStar@Zelosse That's a good idea, in my opinion. Maybe on the first floor there's only one Healing Spring and it's at the bottom of that secret dungeon in the gorge in a side chamber?

[Zelosse]

@DestinyStar I love that idea.

I love that as we progress we make new rules and things. Its beautiful.

I'm playing another MMO where you can have semi-permanent modifiers from injuries and stuff like that that only go away when you cast a certain spell or drink a certain potion.

@Haeo

Also, we don't have to let this happen too often. I think scarring would only occur when player killers don't actually kill their target but get it very very close to death and just leave it lingering there or something like that.

@PyroDash888

@PyroDash888

That's a good modifier. Hmm, maybe they have to use some kind of poison too? Something that delays injury recovery or a certain amount of hit point restoration until it's nullified or wears off? So, if they did twenty damage to you and ten was the poison's strength then you could only recover ten hit points until it wore off. There's lots of ways to work this.

@Zelosse

I love Blade and Soul. Kung-Fu 4 eva!

[DestinyStar]

I love this idea. Especially the idea of a "healing fountain" or some kind of rare item. Kinda reminds me in the show how there was that flower which could bring back dead companions, or how there was a rumor of a drop that could bring a person back from the dead.

Rumors would also make this little story very interesting, because how to do they know which option is real and can help?

... I'm kind cruel. :3

Anyway, out of curiosity, anyone here play Neverwinter? (If you don't, you should - it's free and it's super fun)

[Zelosse]

@DestinyStar I keep meaning to but I refuse to play an mmo alone

[Haeo]

@DestinyStar@Zelosse I just read the reviews on steam. I was not impressed. I'm more tempted to just buy Neverwinter Nights again.

[DestinyStar]

@Zelosse Haha well if you ever decide to you can join our guild. :) We are low-level but it's fun!

@Haeo Yeah... It's probably more awesome to me because I'm new to MMOs. :P You'd probably get a better game paying for it but I'm cheap and was just curious when I started (now kind of addicted lol).

[Zelosse]

@DestinyStar or you could play blade and soul with me and Sif and bring your guild. Its also a F2P microtransaction game

[Haeo]

@DestinyStar My intro was watching my brother play EQ. I lose interest quick when free starts becoming expensive.

[DestinyStar]

@Zelosse I'm actually looking at it now. Is it only PC or does it have a Mac version? I don't have Windows... Unless it is also on Xbox? It looks pretty badass though lol...

@Haeo Yeah, that's what I like about Neverwinter. I don't have to buy anything to have fun. :) And anything that takes real money to buy you can also earn for free with hard work, even though the bought stuff isn't necessary to become powerful. I used to play those dumb Facebook games that had that issue - when "free" isn't really free lol.

Also, what is EQ?

[Zelosse]

@DestinyStar everquest..

[Haeo]

@DestinyStar Yup. Everquest. I just dated myself.

@Zelosse And you just had to go and date yourself along with me.

[Zelosse]

@Haeo EQ 2 is an expected title this year if memory serves.
