My mmorpg idea
Im a mmorp-gamer who tryid some games and seen alot of vids for high ranked games, but many time I see a games, that I know I will dislike the battle system and get bored of the game. So Im thinking of a game system that would be fun, plzz comment and wr

Hi, in my last/first blog entry I talked about a simple battle system and a advanced NPC system, and described the NPC system. So now Im gonna tell ya about the battle system :D

many like counter strike (or othere games like that) because you easy control your charrecters movement and actions, so I thought of putting that into a MMORPG (not a gun mmo) because many all so like MMORPGs, anyway here it is.

Attacking
Attacking should ofcause be with the mouse because its easy to target with it ... But it only got 2 buttoms. So you will need to change weapon or combat style with example "Q" and "E".
Skills should still be maked with the numbers or the "F" things, but maybe needed to be done fast or with tactic, I really want a game where you could make a tactic battle like in the ninja manga Naruto, that would make a game fun.

Movement
Ofcause W,A,S,D and space Im not sure about if it should be like pushing "W" you move in the direction of your cursor or like just move up and then you can look in anothere direction but I think that would be hard works better with a Joystick. But actually I have been thinking if a game would be easyer to control your char if you saw it from an angle high up above your char, like in old RPG gameboy games and then your attacks would be in the direction of your cursor ...
Ofcause the game is gonna be fast, you die after 3 - 10 hits and your charecter can make very fast moves so you can avoid the attacks. To make it even more action, it could be with slashing up/down/. Up  throws the opponent up in the air and down tackles him, but that there where you gonna use a joystick.

more will come I just need to think more about the things its a little advanced when im gonna put action and rpg togethere and its gonna be for computer, you can buy a joystick for the pc, but a game wouldnt be popular if you needed a joystick.

when I say joystick I mean gamepad :D

a simple game would be fun, a game like fun counter strike is actually pretty simple: w,a,s,d  movement, space jump, shift duck etc. but still its advanced (slide as an example) you sure know if you played the game.

Making that into an mmorpg would be cool I think, ofcause that will be some things so it will fit to attack with sword, magic and skills. coming below someday

Anothere thing is the 100 npcs standing around and doing allmost nothing, you could use like 10 npcs. It could be cool if you also maked it so they were AI and you could talk/write to em instead of just clcking on em and then they tell you 1 - 5 things, I think it could be cool if you needed to ask questions to get information. Like this:

NinjaDude: >Frank Hello    (could be important to start like that but would maybe be to borring, what ever)
Frank: >NinjaDude Hello mr. what brings you to me I havent seen you here before  (an AI would remember that)
NinjaDude: >Frank Im looking for a job to earn some money and I thinked you looked like you might needed some help
Frank: >NinjaDude Thank you but you are an great knight, you cant help me, but mrs. Carrel are looking for a tough guy, go ask her, she is working in the flower shop down there 
NinjaDude: >Frank Thank you very much, have a nice day   (all so important to be nice because they maybe wont talk to ya if you dont treat em with respect)

and so on ...

You see It aint that simple anymore, but the only thing that need to be simple is the battle, rpgs are based on luck, I want the gaming in it, like you need to be good at rpg and action/shooting/fighting (or what battle type you would use) games, then it would be more interresting theres not much about the fighting in the games because you just wait for the battle to end, I know you maybe gonna activate skills but that doesnt really make it more fun.

All for now :)
