I like the way your taking this and how you already have everything done for it. I think this would be an awesome race if you ask me. The more races the better!

Thank you ^.^ b:victory


And ooooh, I see, Kitten xD Yeah I think you're right, a flame with at least one crystal/ soul fragment would match SS better. The other symbol looks all nice, but I think a simpler (and smaller) symbol is better, like for example a plain whip.

And by the way, I was taking a look at our drawn SS again and somehow it seems so odd to me that the SS looks way to similar to a Psychic. =(
For my taste the ammo soul fragments shouldn't be in the hand of the Shadow Specter, since this looks way too "psychic-like" ... so I've drawn it the way I have it in my mind ... well I'm not even half as good as you are with drawing Kitten (especially when I've to draw humanoid creatures b:shocked) but I thought pictures speak more than words do...

I thought it would be better if the soul fragments/crystals twirl around the forearm instead of hovering in the hand. I just drawn 3 though, the other two aren't visible on my drawing b:surrender And from the finger tips there should be those visible invisible strings hang down...


Oh that aside, I've thought also a bit about the customisation. You know, there are always those fixed preset types for each class/race, with differences like different tattoos for TBs, different animal kinds for venomancers... so the Cursed need some more unique markings. Like different fang types.

*It's quite hard to read, so the title says:
Customisation - Face Types Fangs for fixed preset types

And below:
Left Tooth down - Right Tooth down - Left Tooth up - Right Tooth up
Both Teeth up - Both Teeth down

(I should have written fangs not tooth -.-)

You really want to have something gun-like in this game so badly, eh?
Well ... about rings... I don't want to be the one who always smashes your dreams, but...

PWI hands + real rings? b:shocked

And I'm not sure whether I understood that ring stacking idea...


I'm rather for magic guns then. And the images of "magic guns" which I've in my mind aren't quite magic... And still I don't see any connection of guns to the chinese mythology and PW so far... b:surrender (but hm... they put in Lighter Vendor shops, so. . . scratch this.) Magical version of these?

Anyway I can't even really imagine a magical weapons which looks like a gun T.T Do we actually have to have more than 1 weapon type for the Shadow Specters...?

Nu nu nu silvy >.> XD you gotta look up magic guns, not plain guns or halo O.o
the fable one was prolly closest ...

Meh to staves we haz them. But now that i think about it, magic staff guns : O

I do think we should have another weapon for SS ...

i like this idea, but we need to wait until the tideborn is fixed, there's enough going on already.

i liked the way you described 'the cursed', OP.

but i went to the link in the post and didn't like the classes for this race at all.

if you are going to make an undead-esque type race i'd have to go with

Nether Specter(undead form of psychic)

and

Vampiric Assassin(undead form of TB assassin)

as far as skills? they wouldn't be much different than their predecessors, but would have their own unique twists.

lets use 'aqua impact' and 'knife throw' as an example
instead of aqua impact it'd be Nether Strike or something. and instead of aqua damage it would do soul damage or darkess damage

and instead of knife throw it'd be Blade Impale or something. and instead of straight physical damage it'd do a low physical damage and poison or wood damage.

and as for the weapons of Nether Specter/Vampiric Asassin
they'd use corrupted soulspheres and corrupted daggers.


and speaking of poison i think a new element should be added to the game, moreso a new kind of damage. Poison and Darkness elements.

Wow, I'm away some days and some totally screwed up intelligence-beasts are showing their brightness in this thread. *claps slowly with hands* Nice one. Nice one.

Well, but I want to at least comment those.

So, what Chrono said and:

@Burnsoldier
Get a hobby or something, instead of repeating stuff what has been said and replied to before...

@Soulrend

Uhm, yeah. *thinks of a nicer way to say this* Hm... how old are you? 12? And we're playing the same game? And you really dared to suggest such a ****? Are you even getting the point of having "different" classes and races? I think you should go back play Hello Kitty Online again.

@Anzillu

May I correct you? You see, I've got this nice shiny lollipop here and here's a cotton candy machine, there's sugar in it and some sugar strands are there already, not that much at the moment, but if all the sugar is melted, there will be more strands, and you know what I'm going to do then? I'll put the lollipop into the bowl and whirl it around! But in the meantime I'm enjoying the lollipop. You wanna have a lick, too? Sure thing
*stabs lollipop into your right eye* Ohhh, is the shine of that lollipop blinding you?


Soo, anyway, wish you luck for your last exam, Chrono!
And about the name for the weapon, isn't "Gun Staff" some fixed name for those chinese staffs? Something more creative anyone?

*Votes for calling those staffs either "Staff" or "Battle Staff" b:surrender :P*

Ah I forgot something. Wouldn't it be a good idea to let those "Gun Staffs" be for all classes?
I've been researching a bit and found a way to fuse those staffs into the existing magic weapon category. (Now I know why PWE didn't let the TB weapons be all class/ matching them to the existing weapons; it's just so that new weapons are hard to give a place among the old weapons... level requirements, grades, damage etc. are really huge problems b:shocked)

So, let's analyse Gun Staffs first:

-magic weapon
-deals half of the magic damage as physical damage (maybe a bit more in this case)
-deals lower magic damage then other magic weapons, because it uses ammunition (and please don't let it be active in combat without ammo...)
-has to have certain level requirements for each different grade of the weapon

I worked the following out:
First Grade is available for level 6.
2nd for level 8
3rd for Lv12
4th for Lv20
5th for Lv30
... every ten levels a new grade...
This way it fits in between Wands and Glaives (comes first before Wands)

A Grade 3 Battle Staff would deal ~30-40 phys. damage, ~53-62 mag. damage (+ ammo dmg); would have 20 Durability (increases by 6 every grade horizontally; and 2 with different weapon types vertically => this isn't quite accurate, but I think PWE itself made a mistake, because there are two grade 3 weapons with the same durability... but somehow it still works out in 2er jumps... btw. I'm speaking of the Magic Weapon category grid at any Blacksmith); range 20, min. effective range 5 meters (like archers, damage penalty); as for requirements, I think it should always be -1 from Wands, here is an example:

Grade 3 Wand requires 9 str 32 mag , so a grade 3 Staff would need 8 str and 31 mag.
Grade 4 Wand (mag requirement is doubled every grade; str requirement jumps from +4 to next grade then +5 to next grade and repeating) needs 14 str 64 mag - Grade 4 Staff needs 13 str and 63 mag ...

That's the simplest way I found I think... Well the magic points required for Staffs could also be increased and the str requirement lowered, but... how would that work out with the Arcane Armour...?

And about the Soul Crystal/Fragments damage... just like archer's ammo with magical damage instead of physical...


Oh and for the other weapons (like Blindfold for SS and Jyg/jin weaps for NH...) give them a tab at blacksmith for themselves alone...

well then. my creativity was mocked. life goes on.

Well if you don't care about a new race, why do you reply to this thread then? Seems odd.
And please don't double post the next time, just edit your previous post.
And if you haven't realised it yet, we didn't take your "suggestion" seriously, we left out that step and went on to the objection step. And 2 additional damage types? As Chrono said, poison counts as wood. And in a game which is based on the 5 chinese elements (wood, earth, fire, water, metal) and in a game with mainly 2 damage types (namely magic and physical) there is no space for new "damage types". But about "darkness" damage, you could consider that this "damage type" is already in the game, the way Wraiths attack. Wraith's damage type must be something dark, so your "suggestions" were all but valid.

Gratz Chrono^^

And uhm... well dunno... the only thing I know is that tomorrow the holidays are starting for me, too

Eek summer. Can't wait til winter or so... so warm >.<

Anyway... there are spreading so many fail threads somehow... especially new race threads (I know there's just one other besides ours.) We need a bit more activity I guess

Tbh i think the night stalkers should use sycthes its sexier Lol butbesides that awsome idea m8 :]

Yeah well, scythes are all cool and that, but they're already in game as "Poleweapon" ...

Take your time Kitten, and don't worry, I'm sure it will look nice.

Oh and bats hm... I think we've got enough mobs in Pan Gu's Hatred, but I totally forgot we also need mobs for INSIDE the FB19... Let's put the bats inside the fb then. As hovering ground mount. But I'm not quite sure whether they should be tame-able (I mean there are somewhat enough mobs tame-able already)

Hmm Im gonna think a bit about the FB...
