Helpcooldo

As I said the STATS would all be fairly basic, to be customized depending on what the highest character level is. It's mainly just the idea of "Hey, got bored of killing boars? Did you know [insert mob here] spawns if you kill 3 boars in a row without getting hit?!" Then the idea of the mob like what Jomei n Mari said.

You could add basic mobs, just for new players? Certainly can't hurt any!

Devans attention was caught back to the conversation as he was looked at, staring back at the player for a second while he re-winded time in his head to figure out what he was just asked. He perked up a bit once he figured it out "Devan! Or uh, helpcooldo? Do people here give out their username or their IRL name?..Hmm.." He seemed to go get stuck in his own world again as he thought about this mind blowing, earth shattering question. "Err..Anyway, whats up with the poor guy getting ganked?" He asked, motioning to the guy they were all pounding with snowballs

(Sorry I took so long! I've been distracted :s)

Actually, it isn't that easy. Seeing as though there's the Athletics skill (this is the one with +5 HP) and there is the Survival Skill (obtained through the Traveler Quest), it'd take a staff's time in order to input this value in as well. Also, there is also the overhealth buffs (it's in Artisan and Alchemist) which is applicable depending on whether the player chooses to use it. Last but not least, an actual HP bar that looks aesthetically pleasing is difficult to code (if you were not going to use a raw image as you would then have to create lots of padding and make it so that it fits in well) and if you wanted it to lower and raise itself, it would cause conflict between coinciding RPs.

Although this may seem easy (which by itself isn't easy and would need a new system of "checks"), it'd be difficult with premade forum software (which is currently IP.Boards). The easiest way would be to create a plugin by yourself rather than recoding the entire software, which still isn't easy. Instead, the signatures that are unnecessary and are created by the users themselves can be easily edited whenever they see fit. Instead of having to do a bunch of different things that the GMs need to do, they can easily just keep the actual photo and edit the layers with the text.

Also, cosmetic means something applied to another to make it look better. There is no note of it saying it being unnecessary.

Alright I see where you're coming from, I didn't think of the skill sets. However I did not mean a WORKING hp bar. Cosmetic means no not useable, just for looks..ect.. and useing a potion, or a skill, or anything to temp up or down your HP wouldn't go into the bar regardless of coding. That'd be way too much work for no reason at all. As you'r hp would only be effected in ~ONE~ forum, which I'm assuming you knew. The point of it was to make it look cooler, that's it; as I stated in my first post.

Why is everyone being so..harsh about this? It was literally just a fun idea to put at the top of the page.

Well I mean most of the monsters would be above level 1, since level 1 is not really anything BUT boars xP so~

And the base for every enemy is the same

lvl 1: 2 HP

lvl 2: 4 HP

lvl 3: 6 HP

ect...

It's mainly the ideas of the monsters, or mini-bosses like...

ok a camp of imps

2 imps are normal, 1 is bossyish.

Not really a BOSS but something you COULD come across while farming ya know? :p

The 2 imps would have normal HP and maybe the bigger one has +5 HP or somthing

*shrug*

Yea I'm not a master coder I know how to web design though.

You take the variable that stands for your level...... let's call it X

x*2+3

. . .

Was that post really necessary? I said cosmetic, as in not needed, as in if someone wants to or has time.

Devan got back to his feet, and decided not to do anything fancy this time, he waited for the boar to charge again and swimply swung his sword to finally take away that boars 1 freaking HP and sighed lightly as it finally died.

As he went to swing his sword at the boar a bit of dust caught him right in his eye, Casuing him to miss completely and giving the boar a perfect shot. He was once again knocked clean back against a tree this time, watching a little bit of his health drop down "Why..won't..you..DIE?!" He barked at the boar, he was effectively pissing him off quite nicely.

Devan: Miss

As he was knocked down onto the ground the boar charged him again, doing what boars do best he hit him in his gut as he tried to get onto his feet. Devan did manage to get a good swing in there as he was knocked away again, though it barely hit the boar, he wasn't proud of his swing and decided to buckel down and try to get a good final hit.

As Devan started going on his rant of how he was absolutely amazing and perfect in every way on this game, the boar thought it would be a good idea to remind him he can still be knocked down; so he did. The boar charged at him while he was mono logging about some kind of perfected god and knocked him square on his rump!

Devan: Fails

In his fit of feelings boss as hell he charged at another boar close by, without a lick of regret he slashed that dumb thing from front to back, landing behind him in a bad-ass pose before he got back on his feet and stared the boar down with both hands on his sword "Time to die Swine!" He called out as the npc boar just stared at him with that "What chu talkin' bout willis" look

Devan: 5 Dam

Boar: MISS

Devan: 19/19

Now this would serve as no real purpose but cosmetic, but it would be a fun idea to have your avatar, with a health bar, your level, and your XP somewhere at the top of the page. These could be put into place fairly easily as far as coding goes, health is simple math from your level.

Just something to make the site look a little cooler, theirs a few players that I know of that are good with their mouse n key bored so maybe you guys could think something up? :D

Food for thought.

I had actually already posted something similar to this yesterday in the feedback and support thread. But as I said, I like the idea. 

THIS is why I can't have nice things! xD

So me and a few guys were talking in a PM, and me being my nooby self was asking a lot of questions and we got onto the idea of having a forum, either per floor forms or OOC (1~10, 11~20...ect) To have a forum of just creatures and monsters that players had created. Since the idea of the forum is you make up your own stuff anyway, I thought personally that it would be a good idea, especially for new players, to have a forum they can go to where they can pick out monsters per floor and even set up quest ideas.

It'd run the same as loot and what not, they'ed have to be approved by the player helpers/admins (Not sure who does what) But...food for thought? :D

Devan shrugged lightly as he stepped out of the way of their snowball fight. He stepped to the side and laughed a bit, clapping at cals though "Nice shot man!" He looked down to the snow covering the ground, bending down to take a handful or two and decided he'd try his hand at it. He chucked it and completely failed, the snowball broke into pieces as soon as it left his hand, making it pretty much swish away into the wind "Aww..."

(THAT ROLL THOUGH)

Just as Devan has landed on his feet he charged right at the boar, the boar was still stunned from his last attack it seemed as devan striked down with yet another hard blow. Making the boar explode into even fancier pixels than normal. He smiled as the nice, bright "UNCOMMON" popped up in his loot screen "WOOP!" he called out, just excited to get anything.

Devan was much, much carefuller this time, he wondered around in the tall grass so he could sneak up on his prey. Sure enough he found a lone bare wondering in circles somewhere near the tall grass. He pounced the bare with all his strength, bringing his sword directly between the boars eyes with all his weight and jumping away before it could react.

Boar>Devan: MISS

Devan laid on the ground for a second, careful of his health bar he decided to stay hidden. He watched the boar from the tall grass until he got closer, then pounced out with a mighty swing! The boar exploded into pixels and Devan sighed abit. As he waited for his loot screen to appear he ate one of his things of bread to get his health back up. Sighing the screen he got, giving him no loot. "Oh well.. onto the next one.."

They both charged in, the boar acting on instinct and the player acting on embarrassment. Even if no one had seen him he tripped over a stationary boar. He went to swing his sword and hit the boar along it's side as he charged past, the boar took the hit and as soon as he got the chance, charged up right into Devan's chest. Knocking him clear off his feet and into the tall grass.

Devan>Boar: 4 Dam

(Ima start using perma roller for my sp forums, I feel like it's a safer move in the long run incase I roll 20 on loot or something.)

ID: 19989 BD: 4 MD: 5

Devan turned to his right, filled with pride and confidence since his last kill didn't even scratch him, he was so excited he completely overlooked the boar standing right beside him, and the boar seemed not to give a care in the world until Devan tripped over him. He rolled past the boar and got back into a fighting stance as the boar to got its footing. Both ready to give a real attack!

Devan has turned when he noticed Calrex looking over at somthing, giving a slight snicker as he started watching two players half a snowball fight in the middle of the town square. "Dude must have some good aim to hit someone in this crowd.." He thought to himself. He absentmindedly stepped out of the way between Calrex and Helios, since the two seemed to have known each other as he kept his attention to the snowball fight for now. Though his attention was brought back when he was addressed again "Oh uh, I'm not new to the game, I've barely even got a shop up. I was wondering if this floor would be ok for something like that? I rather enjoy this weather." He smiled and rose out the palm of his hand to catch some snow before blowing it away. "Plus I was exploring a bit, every levels come with secrets right?"

Devan has just warped into the 4th floor for the first time, he was surprised to find it was chilly here unlike every other level so far. Though even as the chilly air rushed against him he took a deep breath, he'd always loved the cold IRL, seemed virtual air wasn't much different. He wondered through the town, just exploring until the ice sculptor caught his attention.

"Well isn't that something, wonder how long that took to code.." he snickered a bit, that was the first time he'd thought about it, everything here was coded, not built or crafted. He looked over to find someone sitting on the bench and figured 'why not' and wondered over to talk to him "Hey there, I'm new to the floor." Was all he opened with, figuring it'd be  enough to spark a conversation.

Devan nodded and brought his attack right after his friends, as soon as she jumped back he charged up his attack slashed down the side of the boar instead. This left devan behind it, and Hasai in front of it as he generated 1 hate. He quickly turned to face the boar so not to get taken off guard.

Hasai: 19/19 (3 Dam)

Devan: 13/13 (3 Dam)

Boar:  4/10 (attacking)

BOAR

He snarled at his attackers and charged at the first one he saw the second he got the change, charging at hasai since she was the one in front. Though the boar did all he could he barely touched the level 8 female.

hasai: 18/19 (3 Dam)

Devan: 13/13 (3 Dam)

Boar:4/10 (1 Dam> Hasai)

"Common Hasai he's weak! Lets finish him off!" Devan charged for another attack, waiting for Hasai to initiate.

Abridges series FTW, I'm still up for something if someone wants to start up a forum lol
