What would make Silkroad even better?

[EliteHealer]

Try to keep things at least somewhat realistic.

1) More skills.

Today there are just a few basic builds that most people use, simply because they have proven to be the best. Each skill tree needs more skills, and a cap on how many skills you can have, or something like that, so people actually have to think about what build they want, what skills they want to use, and how to use them. Silkroad also needs more useful defensive skills. It would make PvP interesting, and not all about who has the best gear.

2) Support- and other types of characters

Alchemists: with their own skill tree that gives them bonuses when using alchemy, and makes it possible for them to make potions that increase Speed, HP, MP, Hit Ratio etc. Low leves should get a very small bonus, so you would have to get more than just a few levels to be a successful alchemist.

Healers: with new Force skills, like an Area Heal, like the normal heal spell, but that affects all friendly units in a certain area. Other skills, like being able to cast buffs and shield spells on other players.

Merchants: gain access to new transports, a barter skill that gives them a higher profit when trading and lower prices in the NPC shops. They should also be able to get drops that no other classes can get, like tiger skins when they kill tigers, demon horse manes when they kill horses etc. These drops can be sold to NPCs or Alchemists who use them to make potions.

These are just a few thoughts, and I would like to hear yours.

Good idea on the new skills, but first I'd rather have the current skills fixed.

i dont konw, but i think we should have another thread like this. i mean, i dont think the 600000000088834343 we have had before were good enough, im glad you started another one. thanks.

[phresh]

Would be cool if there was some skills associated with alchemy. so you could get better at it rather than just loose more when you fail at it at higher levels. It makes me want to quit at least a few times a week.

More stat points

For examle

Dex(dexterity)
Con(concentration)
Sen(sensibility)

It would be nice instead of everyone only being str, int or hybrid.


Buffs(NOT like euro)
Crafting(skill would nice so not just anyone could do it)
More Quests(different kinds too >.>)

You're welcome.

Making the game all-legit!!! W00T!!






No seriously though they need to vary their quests and make them involve intellect and teamwork

Absolutely, I support all of this!

More stats would be great, for instance splitting STR into Strength (STR) and Constitution, where Strength makes you deal more physical damage, and Constitution gives you more HP and better physical protection. That way a "normal" STR character would be a 50/50 Strength/Constitution, but you could also customize it and make a character that deals massive physical damage, but has very few HP, or the opposite, a super-tank with a huge amount of HP, but that doesn't deal a lot of damage..

The same should go for INT, which should be split into one stat that gives you more magic damage and one that gives you better magic protection. And of course a DEX stat that increases your dodge/parry ratio and increases your number of critical hits...or something like that.

Imagine guild wars like this, where each guild has a couple of real damage dealers with low HP, which means that they also need healers who can concentrate on healing them, and of course some real tanks that are just there to take a lot of damage....would be fun, and would encourage real teamplay.

[lexies2]

a job system would be nice
and for the 565847393739072028208th time an auction house
and make the storyline alittle deeper(thus making quests more then defeat xmonsters)

[TyeMaiShu]

better rewards for quests (honestly for most quests the task is not worth the reward unless you are already grinding the monster it involves) and also more quest variety besides drop collect, headcount, and delivery. There are alleged plans for guild quests according to the ingame manual i think, but who knows how long those will take to get here.

[metroAID]

a job quest.??

[RedBullLT]

Those are nice ideas, but i think if JM will ever do something like this, then your grandchildren are lucky

[taintofsleep]

Less lag
And for a more helpful idea:
Have quests that relate to a characters build. Maybe like a healer has to escort a person to donwhang from jangan. More quests also so you dont have to grind for just exp

What would make silkroad better?

No lag

lol +1

I think another thing that would make silkroad a lil bit more fun. It was mentioned before in another thread but i'll give a bit more detail

Solo/Party Arena

In solo arena there are set stages, maybe like..50? In these stages it's a non stop fighting arena when you kill off the next person you go to the next one, kinda like survival matches. This would be against other players or if theres not enough players participating it would be against npc characters that have skills as well *heuskal, bicheon, pacheon* and also nuker npc's. Doing this will give you points per turn, after winning arena or loosing arena you accumulate a certain amount of points which add up in the end. At the end of the week there are special prizes you can buy via auction and the person who bid the most amount of points will win that prize.

Before the next round begins pots can be bought so that your ready for the next one.

Party arena is the same, having up to 8 people in your party and fighting through 50-100 stages you face the same amount of people on the other side both player or npc if not enough players are in arena doing party arena. The party accumulates points and at the end of the week they can bid on a prize which everyone in the party receives again it's like a auction the party with the most points wins.

Just one idea but having this would prob take away the bordem from grinding/jobbing all the time like most people do in the game, it's something fun i'm sure people would enjoy and can be rewarding at the same time doing it.

[Eukanuba]

Elemental weaknesses, ie fire beats light, light beats cold, cold beats fire, or however you want to arrange it, as long as each is strong against one and weak against another.

While we're at it, do the same for the weapons. Pacheon beats Heuksal, Heuksal beats Bicheon, Bicheon beats Pacheon.

This way everyone stands an equal chance of getting theirs asses handed to them if they cross paths with the wrong build. It would reduce the effect of having the superior equipment in PvP, and we'd see more diversity in character types.

And maybe even, dare I say it, lower the mastery cap to prevent people from grabbing as many skills as they can. 2.5x the level cap should suffice to max a weapon tree, an elemental tree, and get some miscellaneous skills from other trees as well.

[streetrobban]

I think what Jay said about Solo/Party Arena would be really cool. Like a gladiator tournament. It would also be cool if you could bet gold on whoever you think will win the fight.

Also what metroAID said, job quests? Wouldnt that be cool? I dont know his this should work though.

How about guild quests? I dont know if this is planned (heard some talk about it a long time ago), but it would be cool to gather up with your guildmates for a huge quest. And not like the quests like today where you have to grind 3000 flowers. Something with a storyline would be cool. Maybe something that requires you to do quests on diffrent places of the map, at the same time.

But for now, really. Please remove ALL botters. This is so annoying that people dont need to play at all and still become lvl 80 when others spend several hours each day just to reach lvl 50.

I think I've seen a similar thread to this.

So I think this post is *********.
