Winter Town
Ok...
Here is a new suggestion I wonder how you all feel. Winter town has no purpose after a few quests, nobody returns. What if this was a town where magic didn't work? Some story about an energy field prevents it.
I personaly am not crazy about magic, I don't hate it but... If winter town was a magic free zone, those of us that choose not to use it or want to see it can hang out there. But of course, we would need new monsters... One that would be easy is an Ice Skull in the ice cave. And perhaps another Jacko, like Jacko-Frost. OOO thats good, I just thought of that. LOL. Jacko-Frost could have his own drops like... Ice Cream Cones that are like Big Potions or other winter related things.
I really do love this game, I just hope my idea gains some momentum. The map is there already, just needs a little work.
respectfully yours...

Re: Winter Town
It good idea. I think to work it need just few more NPCs (banquer and magasinier), and monsters full of valuable items, like red slimes, for middle-leveled players.

Re: Winter Town
The ice skull could float around wearing a santa hat.
The Santa slime that is there already gives more exp points than red slime. Just that the current drops they have are not as valuable as the red slime drops.

Re: Winter Town
Great idea, there could also be icebats instead of normal bats. Anyway I think the idea is great and i hope it appears in TMW.

Come on, guys! Don't you have any really new ideas for monsters which go beyond recycling what we already have?Coolkid 782 wrote:icebats

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Re: Winter Town
how about something called an icedimond, it could breath out cold air and freeze you for a couple of seconds.

How about a "Yeti" type or an Snow ape or something that camouflage to the white, or maybe a snow ghost??? LOL

Re: Winter Town
I don't think the winter Town/Village (Nivalis) is even a permanent addition to the Argaes continent... in the long run it might be in Kaizei. Since the current focus is development of Argaes (until it's mapping is complete and sprites for all the other races can be made to help flesh out the other continents), this might be why Nivalis doesn't see much love [unless I'm way off on it's plans]. This is not to say it won't be added apon, since it's current purpose is to provide more variety in environments and content.
I was hoping that Nivalis would see placment somewhere on Argaes as one of the snow-capped mountain tops on one of these fine locations:
I'm still hoping
See Geopgraphy.
It still needs an overhaul on some of it's tiles (though we can definitely benefit from more indoor tile variety already). A snow covered tree set needs to be made from the new tree set (or preferably just from the firs). An expansion of the outdoor mapping and possibly another ice cave (but deeper) would make the whole place more interesting and more opportunity for quest placement. If Nivalis is indeed on another continent, it'd be nice if the Taro NPC wouldn't be used as a portal to it, but rather another NPC could provide teleportation to it, or better yet, be accessible by boat from the docks provided certain prerequisites to get there have been met.
Monsters variety would still be nice to replace some of the reused ones, but IMHO, ice skulls would be too much of a retread, and a Jacko-esque snow man should be held off until there's significant variety of boss monsters or it'll feel like a retread too. We might benefit from recolorable Wolves. (I think Lora Tay still mentions Ice Wolves in her dialog?), Fate still needs a Wind Monster, and something other than fluffies and pinkies need to occupy that ice cave would be nice.

Re: Winter Town
- Evil living snowman, throwing snowballs
- Grinch, stealing drops and running very fast, hard to catch
- Small and fat penguin ( for the linux lovers ) walking with a funny animation
- Huge polar bear/Walrus/Yeti, moving slowly but high str/vit
- Saber-toothed white tiger, high str/agi, low vit
- Ice elemental, perhaps semitransparent, making it hardly visible when it's standing still in the ice.
- A hole in the ice, if you get close enough a hydra/bluedragon head will pop out, it won't move but if you are in range it will attack you.

I think we have lost sight of the point here. Whatever monsters you want to create, go ahead. The point of this post is a MAGIC FREE ZONE. I only recomended ice skulls and such to make it easier for the artists, but if you want to create all new, go ahead (though that would add months to the project).
So lets regroup and refocus on the original idea. One town in all TMW where no magic can work, where we MUST deal with thing as warriors and not as mages or whatever. Some RPG games have something similar, why not here. The idea is to have options and diversity in the game.

Re: Winter Town
Or places where certain character classes can't go. Why not also then an area where blades or bows don't work?

Re: Winter Town
Maybe certain areas would require certain items to be worn to get into the new area.
Create new weapon that would only be effective in snow town. Weapons like a fire axe or fire arrows.
If you are looking for new monsters for the area, what about a polar bear, a seal or a penguin. Could also add a mob boss called Frost which would be a snowman head with crystal arms and legs. It would blow frost at players like the poison skull blows out poison. The affect of the frost would be slower attack speeds.

Re: Winter Town
I like Savi's idea of certain weapons only being effective in certain areas. That would bring another element into the game.

Re: Winter Town
I've always thought that Modanung's would make a nice base for a cool yeti type monster.
