Perk system complex suggestions

[adithya]

So, something creationAz said and a brodual video of perkusmaximus, made me think of slo's basic perk system.  I'm sure many of you have ideas, and those ideas might come useful for the actual mmo release. 

Now, I'm not going to post an elaborate system suggestions, this is just something I've started, to let people do exactly that, so post away.

do you mean shit like : 5%+ for fire nature, 10%+ speed etc. if so, this pretty much takes away it being solely based on skill

[adithya]

@limshits 3-0  yeah.  As much as we would love it to be skill based, slo is ultimately an mmorpg. The skills system need to exist.

i just don't really think it needs to be in a game like this, there will be KG and chakra mixes which might take the skill away by a bit, so i don't really see the need of putting a perk system in.

well, something not exactly related to perks:

the rain system can make Water users stronger, or being near a water body helps the water user, which makes him use less chakra, and Air can be strengthened in Windy weather, Earth when near lots of huge Rocks, Lightning in Thunderstorms, but Fire is the real nuisance... you don't see a lot of Fire around in daily life, do you? xD so maybe, when the sky is clear? idk, Volcanoes make sense, but you don't find them as often as Water bodies, or Huge rocks... so I think Clear sky will have to do, since the temperature will be hotter, maybe the it is easier for the user to make flames easily? Idk

no offence, that's worse than the perk idea

Ikr, now that I look back that'd work with avatar, not naruto xD, forget about that :3.

Please clear this up @Vreg

Whether or not there will be a "perk" system is neither here nor there for one simple reason: People's definition of perk vary.

I don't know what Vreg sees as a perk, but in my own opinion, what has been "exampled" above is not necessary. I believe there will already be a "perk" system in the game, and that will be in a form of time-based leveling. For example, in order to increase the damage of a certain flame jutsu, one will need to consistently train and use said jutsu. Vreg also once said that similar jutsu (e.g Fire ball and Fire breath) could possibly have complementary factors. This meaning that by leveling up Fire Breath, Fire Ball will slightly increase along with it due to them being so similar. This would translate over to all aspects of the game, because by time-based leveling, I mean that a player needs to constantly train and use what he wishes to level up, running for stamina and speed, jumping for further height and distance, etc. You get the picture.

Now, like I said previously, the definition of "perk" varies, and I could have completely misread the purpose of this post in terms of what you meant by perks, but along my thoughts, this seems like a perk system mixed into an extensive leveling system. This would result into a game that is not about 100% skill, but as well as time and commitment.

Items are another conversation however. Even though it's pretty dead-set on them being in the game for cosmetic reasons only.

No, you understood the purpose perfectly

Well put @Xendrus..., have some rep.

Limits is right about the bonuses from items or "skill points".  After a while they would add up and it would be Neverwinter's pvp all over again.

     Also,you dont put in skill points to improve techniques irl SLO might be an mmorpg, but its trying to simulate life as a shinobi in the Naruto world. With the combat system in the test, it is leagues above other mmos. ( lol )  SLO wont be the same.
