Ideas for Stendhal
List of Ideas and suggestions and quests for Arianne Stendhal
The use of that link can be for 'storage' before of real use
- We can type here all ideas all together and any developer who likes one or some he can pick(or better I)it up from here and he can ask me to post it on SF feature requests or wiki.
- We can put our thoughts here free with no conditions. Imagination needs to be free, not very controlled and limited with logic.
- A single idea here can demand a set of features, some brand new. So developers can take an idea and split it. Here is the cows. Developers are the butchers who cut the cow in parts(as Miguel said hehe). I raise the cow and I can be the butcher or other developers
- I like salads :-P
- Mostly this here is for having it as a place with our thoughts to not lost or forget them. It should be organised later as I said above
- When an idea, quest, suggestion, etc is done or been put in tools or completely done and it's in the game, it will be removed from here or altered
- When an idea, quest, suggestion, etc is not possible to do or everyone hates it it will be removed from here
Now the list. It will be in random order but I make it in order bit by bit on any new update: Most of ideas here is Bill G.'s way( :-P ). I take them from other MMORPs in a way I think it's appropriate for Stendhal Other ideas is very original or altered in a new way and some are 'crasy' or dareful ideas
Party
You can create a party and invite in your party your friends. Players as long as they belong in this party(party leader can kick out someone or when party leader quits, party is over)they can chat each other and only party members can read or talk there. But you should also choose good party like this: have in your party a mage or Necromancer(dark priest), a thief, a kind of warrior, and a priest or bard. A kind of archer class can be usefull too. Warrior protects mages and priest by doing body-body combat while mage prepares his nasty spells and curses and priest does the healing. Party shares the XP and anyone can take the drops or even share them automatically. This is a good way to train your low level friends or guild members. Some details: priest is veryvery usefull when battling party goes fight undeads. Holy priest is extremely effective against unholy creatures like the undeads. Necromancer maybe can do bad in the morale of party because of the evil dark unholy magic he uses and with the army of undeads he can create from dead creatures or invite some undeads to fight on party side. This can conflict with the holy priest and both(necromancer and priest)have less effective spells. So better -depents from the mission- choose only one from them to have in the party.
Danters points of party
Just a pointer id like to add for the party idea is this: "party leader can kick out someone or when party leader quits, party is over" it's good that the party leader can kick out players (sometimes annoying players or "ninja players" = players that steals all the good loot joins) but when the party leader leaves the party should not be over but another leader should be randomly choosend (or the oldest teammember exept the leader becomes leader instead) thus they can continue the party instead. Party leader status should also be able to be transferred to another player if the party leader wishes it.
A few commands that would be nice for party managment is: /invite <player> - anyone that is not in a party can use this command on all players that is not in another party, using this command creates a new party (if the player beeing invited accepts the invite) and the one issuing the /invite command becomes the leader. /leave - if the player is in a party he leaves it, making him awailable for new invites. /leadertransfer <player> - makes another player the party leader, the player must already be in the party for it to work.
Guard to bribe
This guard would make sure players who are too weak don't enter places that are dangerous. Like outside giant caves etc.
- NPC: "Beyond this door I'm not allowed to let anyone past, it is too dangerous"
- Player: 'task'
- NPC says nothing
- Player: 'job'
- NPC: "I am the doorkeeper. I am not supposed to let any human past, but perhaps you can make me an #offer."
- Player: 'offer'
- NPC: "A little #bribe could persuade me"
- Player: 'bribe'
- NPC: "A bribe of no money is no bribe! #Offer me something!"
- Player: 'bribe x' (x<200)
- NPC: "You think that amount will persuade me?! You can't get in!"
- Player: 'bribe x' (x>=200)
- NPC (moves aside so door is accessible): "I got your money but I don't guarantee your life if you enter"
I think thats a good idea, because a lot of noob-players are exploring the semos cave without knowing that there is a green dragon and a lot of giants inside. Either they die or they run away and bring the strong enemies right to the entrance. So if a noob-player, who knows where the strong enemies are, enter the cave, he/she will be killed immediately.
Church Services
The services will be Christian (Non Denominational)...
- To be honest we had a lot of trouble even just with the marriage quest. People don't want religion in a game. I strongly suggest not to put a named religion in, at all. A pseudo spirituality may be ok. Some people feel that having a nun and priest (names from christian conventions) being part of the marriage service is already a step too far. (Though we could make an alternative civil ceremony perhaps for those who don't want to go in something called a 'church') That's why having a temple not a church is a slightly better idea - it's a place of worship of *something* and not necessarily a particular God or god.

- I know I will not get alot of users neccesarily... But like any church I will have a congregation... It has never been easy for me to be an E-Preacher anywhere... I don't expect it to be easy... All I want is a chance if no1 comes for the first 3 sundays... I will be fine with you removing the church... Serving Him... Alex
I will Quote Scriptures and Give Links to Bible Sites (I may promote my program (http://Dos-Bible.org))
I will not say anything opposing the direct word of GOD (the bible)...
The Service will be completely optional...

Notes to the Critics
1. The land I requested is very small/minimal
2. I will put in all the work on the maps
3. I will accept any land your willing to spare

King Midas Quest
Maybe have a quest that allows the player to convert iron into gold_bar somehow?
- Nice idea! Or extend that; convert hammer to golden_hammer, mace to golden_mace, iron_scale_armor to golden_armor, plate_shield to golden_shield ... since everything Midas touched turned to gold. Though it would need to be carefuly balanced so that the reward wasn't too great. Maybe Midas could be an actual NPC, and after doing a quest you meet him/he'll touch things for you, and you get the chance to turn one thing into gold. Kymara 03:05, 23 August 2007 (PDT)
States increasing potions
I thought about very rare potions, which increase your HP, DEF exp or ATK exp.
Maybe also speed. Would it be temporal (until next login, for x minutes) or permanent?

Gem stone exchange shop
My idea was a shop, where you can exchange a certain amount of gem stone for items. E.g. 10 obsidian for 1 black_legs, 5 carbuncle for chaos_boots, 10 of every kind of gem stones for black armor.....
Upgrading Weapons
Every weapon should have a quantum of slots, in which you can put weapon upgrades like +5 atk, % lifesteal or better rate. You can do such upgrades with special items. E.g. you'll need a immortal sword to do an +5 atk upgrade.
Put your name below and add your thoughts about your ideas. This is mostly a list wich will be organised and splitted in tools
