Fallen - When player dies, raise another: Fallen, Increase movespeed

These are just ideas obviously and as a single person my imagination is limited so all comments would be appreciated.

why you have thats ideas ?

To make the game more interesting? I'm really surprised by watching some new players play by just standing and attacking (eg black scorpion) when they can make use of the warrior's +1 range. I noticed when I first started that you can attack a monster then move one step back right afterwards to avoid being hit by that monster's attack. This is because at the start there is no bow and everyone's vit is too low to tank. At the time, I also remember working together with several people to take down a giant maggot. Using tactics rather than blind grinding.

The point I'm making is that there is more to the game than just mindlessly standing and pressing attack. For example the new idea for the skull's AOE attack means to avoid being poisoned they can step back when the skull starts to use that attack and move back in range when it has finished (presuming there is some animation warning of it starting to use it's proposed AOE attack). Level dependent swarming means that as players get stronger the way they attack has to be re-considered rather than playing in the same way. Camouflage, monster splitting etc all try to make the game play more active. Perhaps even suggest teamwork (one attack as bait, everyone else ganks).

If you prefer a non-game where you can just stand and leave your character to be attacked and effectively just gain exp by doing nothing I suggest going out and washing your car and watching it dry. It might be more productive and people may come by and talk to you IRL which is better than staring at a screen to check if a GM is coming to suddenly stop botting and avoid punishment.

Silkworm: should split into other silkworms whn u kill it

That's quite a bad idea. TMW would be overflouded with silk worms till the next server restart.

Some great ideas up there

I'm pretty sure a limit could be set for how many splits are allowed per map to avoid overloading the server. Besides the server should be able to handle lots of monsters look at snake pit.

I'm sure there is a way, but I don't see the reason to do this. Another point would be the problem with the drops, it's very strange if the silk worm gets split and still drop silk cocoons.

Most of your proposals are interesting, keep it up!

Thanks! I'm hoping someone in charge of content will look down and go "OK! That's a good idea I'll organise something and see if someone can implement it!"

I basically just grabbed the list of monsters from wiki and added some ideas hoping at least 1 or 2 (or more) will be worth putting into the game. I mean these are just ideas atm and as I've said before the more comments and new ideas the better!

Cap all monster levels to lvl50.

I think a better idea working off of that one is for Giant Maggots to become maggots when you kill them.

Yeah I like that idea! ^^

Is there someone specifically we should be talking to - to discuss real possibilities for putting these ideas into the game?
