World More Stat Options

Hello, I'll keep this as short as possible--

Wynn has had its 5 basic stats for years: strength, dexterity, intelligence, defense, and agility.
These are some of the core stats in every MMO there is, it makes sense that they are there. However, most MMO's also have a few more stats that I think Wynn lacks in.

The 5 stats that Wynn currently has benefits one kind of player alone, I feel-- a player that likes their stats to effect their abilities in combat directly.

However, there are other stats that many enjoy that do not directly effect their characters gameplay.

For example luck as a stat. Luck has no effect on actual combat itself, but it could effect drop rates/item drop rarity tiers. It could also effect the tier of loot chests you find. Where a normal player would find a tier 1 chest, a player with very high luck would find a tier 2.

Another example would be a Charisma stat. Charisma could effect the prices for the player in shops. Say that theres an agility potion that costs 1 emerald block. A player with a high charisma stat could purchase this same potion at a certain discount, say about 30% off for a player with 100 charisma versus the full price for a player with none at all. The potion would likely be 45 emeralds rather than the entire block.

A third stat-- Endurance. Endurance could determine a players effectiveness in sprinting. If a normal 0 Endurance player can run for say, 5 seconds, a high endurance character might be able to run for 10 or 15 seconds.


These are just a few examples I can bring off the top of my head, but the general idea here is that I think more stats with different effects would greatly enhance the experience and freedom of players in choosing who they are and how they would like to be in the game.

 

I like it. As a DnD player, who plays mainly warlocks, I can't say no to a Charisma stat!

 

bards tho

which means yes charisma

 

Poll?

 

Uh. Luck is just loot bonus but a skill point

 

I've always thought there should be more elements too.
- Ice Element - Effective against Water, Weak to fire. Goes to a new stat (Probably Logic, which will... increase spell damage?)
- Metal Element - Effective against nothing, resistant to ice and fire. (Goes to the Fortitude stat, which will increase your base HP by X% [Base hp being what you would have if you had no armor or weapons])

 

Similarly strength is just melee damage bonus

 

Fallout fan detected(endurance, charisma, luck)? But tbh none are really needed

 

No not really

 

We can't add any more ids ingame

 

Nothing is needed, it's a video game. That's why the suggestions thread is publicly available, to suggest things that aren't necessary but that would be nice.

Also, The three stat editions aren't based on any other games, though if anything gave me an idea for it, I thought of them from Bard's Tale, not Fallout.

________________________________

I know what you mean, but I assume you get what I mean as well, it's just a damage booster in the same way as luck being linked to loot bonus but not exclusive to it.

 

It would be interesting but they'd have to redo the skill point system and they said no to that a long time ago.

 

But the elemental wheel ;-;

 

Metal is an element in China. (See This http://www.1000ventures.com/business_guide/crosscuttings/cultures_5_basic_elements.html)
Looking at it, I should have done my research earlier...
Ice is a pseudo-element.

 

Not like that, it's a design concept thing in wynncraft.
Adding more elements throws the entire balance out of wack

 

That is definitely true.
It would be cool to have more though; if they could make a new elemental system and run some tests away from the public, it would be really cool to have more elements.

 

It would require a complete rework of...

Items
Areas
Boss
...

Pretty much everything.
As cool as it would be, 5 is a great number for elements, but mabye some additional effects.

 

That's rather pathetic seeing as max base HP is 510. So 150 in Fortitude would increase your base HP, at absolute maximum, to 918.

 

What if there were pseudo-elements that were gotten from combining two elements?

 

I don't see a need for "luck" because you can already get that bonus via gear. It will probably be hard to implement into the game but not a horrible idea.
