The Cursed [New Race]

Mechanism - Archosaur

A new race may be possible in a near release as it is.

The same way clues were layed to the release of the Tideborn, such as the page splash images, there are other clues in place.

For instance, should you incorrectly put in a URL that was removed, such as the server pvp or level ranking, or like me you had the ranking saved to your favorites and selected the wrong PW link, a new Error 404 image, rather than the general venomancer one of the past appears.

O.O

Awesome!

Wait! I just got an idea. What if its a minion carrying you. Say like a reaper is the driver and your char is in a boat. Or your pegasus idea and it pulls the flaming chariot your char is in.

Yeaaah thats another good idea, and even fits to my morph examples.... woah would be cool to be carried by a black dragon o_o

b:cryI hope they aren't ugly like that.

RogueCheesy - Lost City

i love the idea of the cursed race b:victory but also you said the armor would be dark and so on and to upgrade use magical symbols, one of the things i look forward too is better looking armor so maybe the symbols change the look? great flying mount ideas try to keep them away from any other race. and on pwi data base i was strolling and i found whips =o great job on the ideas.

Kittennice - Heavens Tear

The major city should have a pyramid. There is a pyramid on the other side of the coming soon wall.b:shutup

Sssshht, that's part of our great plan of introducing the Cursed xD
Actually they already picked some of our ideas, the pyramid part of it ;P

JK, do you have some coords or screenies of the pyramid? Thats pretty awesome!

Esnemyl - Dreamweaver

some of these flying mounts sound ott (no offense)O.o i like the ide of the cloud though, maybe for different types in the botique they could be in the shapes of skulls and stuff like that?

jokerxdude

I love your ideas, Silvychar and Kitten. I'll update now. Sounds much better than a cloud xD. I'm busy with the PWIA and writing the script so it may take me a while to update and look at this.b:victoryKeep the ideas coming.

Silvychar - Sanctuary

Ah well, clouds and even our new idea, the waggon thingies are somehow... weird... Those chariots would be a bit too big I think

Coming back to my morphing idea, Night Hunters could wear their energy whips as a "collar" around their neck/ wear in hands => angel morphs...



Btw: Thanks jokerxdude, it's fun to spin a race suggestion farther and interesting what will be the result after Your idea was like an inflamed match which caused a forest to burn down completely xD

jokerxdude

I don't know any more mount ideas. A cloud is all I could think of for the angels and the other mounts had to pull something. They could be smaller and the whole size could be like the untamed birds size.

The morph idea sounds great, but I am trying to make it simple. +cough+Devsarelazy+cough+

But I'll place it up.


And thank you for your ideas.

Silvychar - Sanctuary

kk, thx^^

Hm, well, what else do the Cursed need...? And we really need to find someone who draws one

Kittennice - Heavens Tear

I will draw one eventually >.>

They need armor and I guess a quest like the Tideborn's Lochmur.

jokerxdude

Quests, right. Hmm... maybe a mummy or something other than the fish for the NPC.

Porcelain - Raging Tide

I think we need a new mage class. Venos are lame. They only cast wood damage. Wizards ain't that great either. Since this is a dark race how about a Necromancer? I do agree that we need another healer class. What we need is whole new class, not Wizard, healer, barb, veno, physic, assaian, or, archer. Something brand new. Like a Gunslinger or a Dancer(Bard) class. The Bard class would be the healing class. Like for the darker race thing, have it be a fallen dancer(bard) class. I'd love to see a Bard class! Bard ftw!

The classes we introduced are pretty new, or have you ever seen a Night Hunter with a energy whip, a Shadow Specter with blindfold, flying orbs and puppet master gloves?

And what is a bard? A bard is more or less, healer or supporter. . .

In general there are basically only 3 types of possible classes in ANY game:

Tank, Healer/Supporter, DD

Those may split up in subclasses:

DD -> Nuker, AoE-Attacker, Debuffer, Half-Tank, Half-Healer, Summoner, Ranged, Melee, etc.

So bards? Wait for the next race suggestion b:victory

Tidebornisim - Raging Tide

Omfg, playing as the Wraith?

Wait, but if we reach level 21, how will we get to Archosaur?

Fiery_Demon - Heavens Tear

I'd really like if there was a sort of Vampire race, who could summon spirits instead of pets as venomancers do, and they'd be similar to venos that way a bit but with different skills and looks of course. So I agree with your idea, tho I'd make some changes.

jokerxdude

To Tidebornisim: It is a race that evolved from the Wraiths. They aren't the wraiths that we fight. They will have the same quests in Archosaur as the other races and get there the same as the Tideborn.

To Fiery_Demon: They will be given class-exclusive pets. These pets are wraith-infested pets that the venomancers can't have. Nor can they have Venomancer pets. Thanks, I'm glad you like it. =D

Grippieluver - Lost City

oh... my... gawd! this idea iz AMAZING I absolutely love this idea!!! Yall lemme kno wut other add-onz yew need for the race and i'll see wut i can come up with

Silvychar - Sanctuary

So, after thinking of a Quest Chain like the TB's Lochmurs (*coughs* Murlocs stealerz! *coughs*) I had a kinda.... well dunno if it's good at all. But if by TB's Lochmur Quests a Introduction quest chain is meant, than Im on the right way.

Anyway, let's go ahead.

I've been thinking of a server-wide Introduction Boss spawning, to "unlock" the Cursed race.

So if we want to avoid a giant lagfest, we separate this event, meaning, 1 server at a certain day has to slay this giant "Server Boss". (Like GM's did last Wraith Event)

So one week before releasing the Cursed, all players of one server will be able to teleport via a portal in every main city , at a certain time range, to a "safe zone" at the left side of the map (desert) near the Cursed main city...

The boss which will be waiting there, is a huge "desert wraith", some sand spirit with giant wings, glowing eyes and such (no feet, body ends in a huge sand whirlwind), will be stronger than a world boss and has tons of HP... Requires everyone one the server from any level range to kill it.

Has a random aggro, has two AoE's (one which stuns everyone in a radius of 50 meters for 3 seconds; and another one which swaps HP with MP instantly in a radius of 50 meters...)... sounds like loads of fun, huh? o_o

After the boss is killed, he will drop 5 server-limited land mounts, a bejeweled lizard, with glowing eyes (jade/emerald gems), golden scales, ruby spikes on its back...

And after this server event, the Cursed are "unlocked" (if a server separation is needed to provide less lag, then there could be a difficulty with unlocking the race... I'd rather say, let that Server Boss Event take time on each server at the same time...)

After that Wraith Boss is defeated, an archaeologist NPC will be added to any main city...

A quest chain will start, every elder of the main cities send the player to that new NPC, which leads the player to the camp of an archaeologist team of Perfect World... Those found stuff in the desert => pyramid (main city?) of the Cursed and other traces of the existence of the Cursed... This camp is connected with the Cursed elder => archaeologists want the player to visit that elder...

Hm, well, I dunno what happens then... but maybe a new category of "Quests" should be added, like escorting an NPC to a certain location... (NPC follows of course) and what about a mini game like playing archaeologist... digging stuff in the sand or so...

What do you guys think? And sorry, if it's hard to read/understand... thinking in straight lines is difficult

Grippieluver - Lost City

wow thatz a really great idea, unlocking the new race iz smart, and really fun!

jokerxdude

Now that is a good idea. Having them unlockable is great! You're a genius.

Maybe we can give the new server the races instantly. Just have it as a the last server to get it (Say the server is put online after all the servers are done with the event).

I'm guessing a Bejewled Lizard would be a land mount and will be put in the cashshop say 5 weeks or two months after the event?

The mana-hp switch is harsh a bit. There will be lots of lag and clerics who are healing people and other mana spammers will be in trouble. I would say dumb the monster's attack down and give a minor Aoe such as the marriage quest monsters. We want every server to have the race.b:shockedIt would be bad if they failed.

There is an Archaeologist NPC near the TT entrance. They could use him and just teleport everyone there.

Silvychar - Sanctuary

Thanks ^.^

Do you mean by that, after a server beat that boss, the server is offline for a while, til every server is finished? If so, good idea, but I guess there would be huge QQ xD

Or about what new server are you talking?

*coughs* maybe 4 months after, less QQ then lol... and the lucky 5 will be longer happy and unique xD Or what about a modified version will be added to the Boutique? (sapphire eyes, n stuff) That's more fair.

Well, yeah, okay, I admit it, would be really a bit ... hard then xD And about a server failing at beating that boss, if they've problems, GMs are still there... and could help a bit^^

Grippieluver - Lost City

totally agreed with the both of u about the mp/hp switch

I think he means that if they make a new server like rising tide, give that server the race without a boss because its new and to not put that server online until every other server gets the race else more people would just go to that new server to play as one. which means more lag O.o

Of course they'll put it in the cashop. hopefully I can snag one thoughb:cute

I don't want it to be like those other wraith events.b:sadThe GM doesn't attack it. They just sit there and watch everyone die.

Silvychar - Sanctuary

Ah, alright. A new server, huh? O_o But then a PvP one, or?

I don't want it to be like those other wraith events.The GM doesn't attack it. They just sit there and watch everyone die.

xD Well if they still can't beat the Boss, then there could be NPC warriors spawned to aid them... Ha, or let's say, if one server cannot beat that Wraith, then it'll be merged with another one *evilgrin*

Silvychar - Sanctuary

I know, two posts in a row are bad even if there's a 2-day difference... but I thought I should share the fact, that I thought about skills for Night Hunters and Shadow Specters, and especially skill trees/ branches. Before I'll list them though, just note, those were my first thoughts... dont know if they are okay... And those aren't complete skills (not even complete skill trees...) with description etc., just ideas for skills and some with level requirements.


I'll start with the Night Hunters, gonna post the Shadow Specters l8r.

Night Hunter

-Skill tree contains 5 branches. Note: Like venomancers, they'll have 2 pet bag slots free in the beginning...

First Branch: Normal "Attacks"

-require whips

-Initial skill could be: Whip Crack

-DoT (flesh ream like) is needed, too

-Lv. 59 Leech Skill

-Sprint skill

- Whip Mastery

-Lv. 79 Critical Strike Aura (Squad buff, increased crit % rate)

-Lv. 100 Shadowhood (invincible for X (5) seconds)

-Lv. 79 Self Buff: Physical Defense (-> Tank ability)

-Lv. 59 Devastation (AoE)

-Lv. 59 Assault (ports behind enemy, crit. attack)

Second Branch: Land Pet Skills

- Damage skill

- Aggro skill

- Self Buff

-Lv. 100 Pack Leader (Squad "aura": increased attack rate, accuracy, attack damage)

Third Branch: Air Pet Skills:

- Damage skill (ranged)

- Mana Drain

- HP regeneration (for Night Hunter + Pet)

Fourth Branch: Water Pet Skills:

- Damage skill

- Debuff

Fifth Branch: Additional Night Hunter Skills:

- Pet Heal (costs own HP instead of mana?)

- Pet Summon (when summoned, max HP is reduced until pet is stowed)

- Pet Revive (costs HP)

- Lv. 59 Possess (swaps to pet sight, player controls his pet for 5 minutes => can use skills and stuff and can better coordinate pet)

So far, that's what I imagined about skills.

Now a little info about those pets (what I made up):

- every pet has a special skill (belonging to that kind of pet)

-"Summon Cards" are dropped by mobs (can be stronger than the initial pets)
Examples: Hobbs, Adalwolves, Raptors, Gnawers (Sori Gnawers?), etc.

- legendary pets @ Boutique (so PWE makes money, needs to collect 9999 of w/e thing to get one) :
Air Pet: Dragon
Land Pet: Vampire ancestor
Water Pet: Shark

-in the beginning there are like two initial pets to choose from (at this point I changed your idea a bit, jokerxdude, sorry for that)

Land:
- Demon Wolf
- Black Cat

Air:
- Bat
- Raven/Crow

Water:
- Sea Snake
- Barracuda/ what ever other water critter...

Oh wow, my posts are always that long... sorry, fellows

Kittennice - Heavens Tear

Wow so many people say yes. Can every cultivation allow more pets to be available? Making them cashop would make venos cry lol.

What do you mean by more pets? Like new & better pets, which can be dropped as summon cards or so by mobs? If so, sure thing, I think.

Alexos - Lost City

-Blood Share

Cost: Magic & Hp
Description: Sacrifice # hp from oneself to heal a friendly target by #. The amount of hp sacrificed will lower upon leveld skill.
Note: Can not be used on oneself.


KK i like this idea but how about we have a skill that allows you to cast it on urself or enemy/ally and instead of healing if the enemy attacks you damage is split between both attacker and defender, like it could be cast on an ally too say a barb was tanking you cast it on the barb then the damage is split between you and the barb you could have it start around 25% then 50% etc etc until like caps of 85% like plume shell but for the wraith class, oooohh or call them Shades or Shrouds....Shades sounds cooler go with that lol.

b:victory I like your ideas though lol!!
