Graalians - View Single Post - [IDEA]Abilities to change combat forever.

Hey all, T-10a here. Knowing that combat in Era gets boring eventually, maybe we can have some sort of ability that we can learn from a Sensei or some different NPC, that even the weakest of abilities can possibly turn the tide of that battle against that pro gang you hate.

Ideas for abilities so far:

Spoiler

Push= Knocks back people a certain distance, but deals no damage.

Spoiler

Rookie Push- Knocks back other players the distance of swords with
Knockback.

Apprentice Push- Knocks back other players twice the distance of swords with Knockback.

Graduate Push- Pushes back other players thrice the distance of swords with Knockback.

Master Push- Pushes back other players four times the distance of swords with Knockback, and deals 5 damage.

Heal Circle= Turns you into a human Valentines bomb, healing a group of people with varying values depending on level (One time heal)

Spoiler

Rookie Heal Circle- Heals yourself and other players by 5 health, small healing circle.

Apprentice Heal- Heals yourself and other players by 10 health, same healing radius as the Valentines Bomb.

Graduate Heal Circle- Heals yourself and other players by 25 health, healing circle twice the space of the Valentines Bomb.

Master Heal Circle- Heals yourself and other players to max health, healing circle four times the space of the Valentines Bomb.

Flash= Blinds the view of other players within a certain area. Doesn't affect you, or other players with the Polarised Goggles.

Spoiler

Rookie Flash- Blinds the view of players within a small circle.

Apprentice Flash- Blinds the view of players within a medium circle.

Graduate Flash- Blinds the view of players within a circle one and a half times larger than the Apprentice Flash.

Master Flash- Blinds the view of players within a circle 2 times larger than the Apprentice Flash.

Items to possibly counter these abilities, available to the common Graalian:

Spoiler

Polarised Goggles= These can stop the Flash ability, yet it's only a light white haze with the Master Flash. These are vulnerable because these darken the screen a bit. It's a hat, not an item.

Lead-filled Boots= These can stop the Push ability, yet it's only the normal Knockback when the Master Push is used. These can be countered with the fact that lead is heavy and so it slows you down a bit.

Ability Tokens= Event Coins for Abilities. These can only be given out by admins in events, or by the Events Bot once a day. Short name is AT.

Scouter= Allows you to see the abilities of the player in the More Options menu. Also displays a power level (which shows the power level of the highest ability). But if you scout someone with a Master level ability, you know what's gonna happen...

Level explanation:

Spoiler

Rookie= These abilities are cheap to buy, yet they are very weak. Price: Ranging from 5000-10000 Gralats. Cooldown time: 5-10 seconds. Power level: 9

Apprentice= These abilities are more powerful than the Rookie, yet are still a bit weak. Price: Ranging from 20-50 AT. Cooldown time: 10-25 seconds. Power level: 90

Graduate= These abilities are the most powerful to the common man, yet pale in comparison to the Master abilities. Price: Ranging from 70-100 AT. Cooldown time: 30-40 seconds. Power level: 900

Master= These abilities are DANGEROUS, even in the hands of noobs who have no idea how to use them right. Price: 300+ AT. Cooldown time: 1-3 minutes. Power level: OVER 9000!!!!

Please note, you would have to buy the previous level to be the next level up (Say, to get Master Heal Circle you have to get Graduate Heal Circle, which requires Apprentice Heal Circle, and so on(AKA you cannot buy Master level abilities straight off the bat.))

HOW TO POSSIBLY USE THESE ABILITIES:

Spoiler

There could be a hotkey-style menu on the left hand side, that shows the icon of the ability as well as the cooldown time it has before it can be used again. You can only use one ability at a time.

FAQ:

Spoiler

1. Why am I, a person who doesn't really like magic, suggesting such an OP thing?

Spoiler

DRAGON. BALL. Z. nuff said kthxbai.

2. THIS IS OP!

Spoiler

No it isn't, and the Master abilities which are meant to be OP are EXPENSIVE AS S#@!

3. Why are you copying (insert franchise here) ideas for Graal?

Spoiler

Any ideas that are related to any other MMO, game, TV series or movie is purely coincidental. Don't bash me for this.

4. [Insert lolspeak here]

Spoiler

Unless it's for lulz, don't use lolspeak here. Use a dictionary. Come to think of it, I should be the resident Grammar Policeman.

5. This feels more like a classic thing...

Spoiler

Idc. Maybe implement it in iClassic, but don't forget iEra (my favourite server :p)

Thank you for reading this.
Don't post a TL;DR because this I am showing my ideas, which there is a LOT of.
This post will be updated as more people suggest new abilities.
