New speed armor

[Joestar21]

I have a new armor idea for Armor of Speed\crazy plate.

Double movement speed
Triple weapon swing speed
½ weapon damage or more
Armor equivalent to plate mail or less
At 10 minute intervals armor causes dizziness like alcohol for 15 seconds

I like this idea quite a bit but I would rather see this as a new vest type armor rather than yet another platemail/heavy type. High level vests and robes with unique abilities should be a priority before the class system is introduced.

I am not sure double movement speed is a good idea though. Certain parts of the game would become ridiculously hard to navigate. What I would rather see is speed gradually increase (up to the speed of raven mace) the longer you were running for.

If this were a vest type armor reducing attack damage may not be necessary since defense would naturally be low. Although this may be another topic entirely I would like to see attack speed, weight, and your armor type to be factors in determining attack speed and stamina drain. I think this would be a good first step in someday creating a series of unique and useful classes.

Also, make the drunken effect occur at random intervals rather than every ten minutes.

Call it the Mercury Vest?

Sounds great, any ideas for design?

 

[TheOysterHippopotami]

Design it using Hermes as the theme?

You could also give it a different name and theme it after the story of Marathon.

Well, if we ever get to model boots, I'm sure we would see more variety of armors you could use.

HOLY shit!!

this better be a super rare armor like gold armor used to be.

Psh i would still rather use a speed potion for an unlimited speed attack charge :roll:

If it cut the physical damage you dealt down to a quarter, then it might be slightly more plausable. Also the dizziness thing should be every minute.

i would prefer a long blind effect/longer slow down moment over 15 seconds of dizziness. Can't say it's awesome to have a small dagger (perfect hugger for example) and then you go drunk randomly and you have no control of your character, that's kinda weird and annoying already >_>

Also the drunk/dizzy effect could be removed by drinking a stab potion/leadfoot potion, just so you know.

I'd say just periodic exhaustion. If your stamina fell to empty every 1-5 minutes, at high levels it takes a decent amount of time to regenerate, and your speed could be reduced a little past normal during the exhaustion.
Alternatively, you could just implement faster sprint speed for increased stamina loss.

Also the drunk/dizzy effect could be removed by drinking a stab potion/leadfoot potion, just so you know.

Not if it was made so you couldn't....

I'm not sure if you're suggesting this to be a perpetual and continuous effect or if you're wanting to implement an "armor special" with a trigger key. Gameplay has to be considered either way.
And since it's vaguely related, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK38YxkF4OA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOMDlKKXDn8

Ugh what's up with the links Marisa, last time i seen something of that kind i was 8 years old, but now im 17... >_>

I don't see how an armor could deny the effect's of a stability potion unless the potion itself gets changed but i might be mistaking, i'm not so sure on what i say most of the time anyways. :roll:
