Strategus General Discussion / Re: Suggestion: permanent gear
« on: December 14, 2012, 03:36:28 am »I like the Dota 2 system:
After each battle you could randomly get an permanent item. Some items are common, some rare(lite crossbow, arbalest).
You could also trade items that you don't use.
Using this system on Strat:
Ppl will play a lot more battles(if every 100vs100 could give you your precious mw cudgel). No more roster problems.
Even fighting for the peasant army won't be so boring & spawnrapy as it is now when you will have your favoriteturbangreat long axe.
Did you get cudgel? Get\trade second one & make Commoner's cudgel! Collect 4 for Elder's cudgel!
Also % of drop could be slightly based upon you performance
This system won't hurt current Stat economics since items would be rare & won't make huge impact to the battle results, but will bring more interest to the Strategus.
My problem with this system is that it turns strategus into a grind for your favorite gear. Imho this game is already far too much of a grind and this would make it even worse.
The FUN part about games is that you can win or lose. Winning and losing should have consequences. The more losing hurts the sweeter victory is. Which is why games like World of Warcraft have no appeal to the thinking man. Don't turn strategus into a kill 10 wolves quest.
