Well first of all this is a Chinese Game right? Then shouldn't it have the Chinese Zodiac lol?
Personally I think that would be cool. Like weapons that say "Year of the Dragon Wand", or a Monster representing that Zodiac. Like for say Year of the Snake. There will be a Giant Snake in a Dungeon. The Snake's name would be Idk, Pythros. well anyways they should include the Zodiac, into items, monsters, places, architecture, etc. My Opinion please dont Flame or say your little Arrogant remarks please. BTW Im Year of the Rooster lol.^^b:bye

    It could also be applied to a character attribute: Birth Sign.
    Each sign would give the player a unique skill based on the animal.

    Dog - Leader Flag (boosts squad members physical and magic base damage)
    Boar - Chivalry and Gallant (increases squad members movement speed)
    Rooster - Deep Thinker (casts a unique spell based on targeted monster, only available in a squad)
    Dragon- Dragon's Heart (randomly calls 1 of 5 dragons to help attack for 1 minute, each dragon based on an element, only available when in a squad)
    Ox- Confidence Call (lowers HP and MP drain on all squad members)
    Ram- Religious Elegance (calls on a minor god to stun a monster, 20% chance that Pangu will use Divine Intervention causing mass damage to monster, only available in a squad)
    Horse- Perception (increases accuracy for all squad members)
    Rabbit- Gamblers Luck (better quality drops from monsters when in a squad)
    Snake- Second Skin (automatically revives any dead squad members, lasts for 1 minute)
    Monkey- Genius of the Cycle (creates a unique weapon based on the targeted monster, lasts for 1 minute, only available in a squad)
    Rat- Charm (when in a squad, charms a monster to be less aggressive)
    Tiger- Hasty Decision (50/50 chance of doing massive damage or no damage, only available in a squad)

    *all skills based on Chinese Zodiac animal trait descriptions

    I like the idea of having the Zodiac Skills. Plus I also like the idea they are squad based and thus would not make individual players to powerful or give them too much of an edge on others. It would be just another way team members can help out their squad mates.

    It could happen...the PWE reps of America are probaly in constant contact with the original developers so you kno the GMs care about us so much so I know when fun across good ideas that dnt required huge amounts of re programming they kick it to the devs, but its not the GMs fault if things dnt get done.

    Plus it would incorporate more Chinese aspects into the game.

    What if it did work?
    Who would all 12 skills belong to?
    Since there are 12 skills, and 6 Classes basically 2 skills per every class?
    What do you guy's and Gal's think?

    Everyone would get to choose one squad skill of their choice. No class restrictions.

    eh chances are more likely that due to the localization they will use the skills and apply them to the western zodiac rather then the eastern. but who knows? they kept the names of npcs basically the same as far as i can tell. only issue of using things like this is what if people dont like the skill they are stuck with due to not being in the right year for the right year. (born in year of horse and likes the year of dragon skill better)

    That is why the player would get to choose what sign they want for their character.

    I'm a Tiger but I want my character to be Rooster.

    This is an RPG after all.

    Well, that's the problem. Everyone is going to end up picking the same skill for each class. Blade masters will all take 1 of 3 different ones. Venomancers will take the one for better drops, or a couple others. Barbarians will take the Tiger, because it's too perfect for tanking. I use a skill, which is unaffected by most other skill usage, and attack normally. WOW I nailed it with a massive damage hit, and oh well that I miss the next 3 times! I'll just use my skill again. sorry, got carried away.

    See, my problem with that is that nobody will choose different 'years' if it doesn't give their class the biggest bang.

    I can understand why you wont want the skill to be set based on your birth year, or when the character was created (but if they did it where the hour was the year, that would be cool) then most people would hate the idea. I say either give them a random year based on their customizations, or make it random.

    The customization based one would really hurt barbs though, since there are only like, 4 or 5 different customizations.
    If the best defense is a good offense, why did I even show up?

    If a train is going east at 50 mph and another train is going west at 90 mph, where do they...Never gonna give you up~ Never gonna let you down~Never gonna run around~and hurt you~

    If you've got this far, you've been rick-rolled.

    actualy if they did bring in the squad skills it would b a disadvantage, squad pking a person who's just trying to lvl ect, have certainly no chance then there alredy is.

    How about an emote instead of a skill?
    Like a giant glowy tiger rising up behind you

    heck, you don't necessarily have to be born in a specific year to get something cool like that

    I still suggest all skills go to a Certain class, so they wont be any stronger, nor weaker. It would give us a great advantage^^.
