World The Addition Of Races! (with Lore And Other Stuff!) {100 Supporters}

What's the point of races if each is pretty much built for a certain element class? It doesn't add any customization.

 

There are too many instances when you HAVE to be human for the game to work. Why would the elves of Aldorei test you in such a way if you were already an elf? You wouldn't need to craft an orc mask to sneak into the camp. I sure there are more examples of this but I can't remember. Now don't think I'm against this idea, I really like it. However instead of having an orc wander around Ragni you could make it so that each race would have its own storyline. You would spawn a Aldorei as an elf for instance, and the quest NPCs would be different (effectively multiplying the work of the CT by 6... which may not be such a good idea...).

 

This is to help guide the player's build. A Spell-Casting Mage would become an elf, a tanky Warrior would be a Dragonborne, and so on. If they want to change it later on, they can pay 3 LE to do so.

________________________________

First off, the elven player could be from a group of elves that Aldorei doesn't trust (banished or something). Also, I'm working on that exerpt that explains the lore for this. For your last comment, maybe not entirely, maybe different tutorials, explaining how the player gets to Ragni. Thanks for commenting!

 

Dwarves are creatures of earth and fire, not...thunder...

 

Ok, thanks! I'll rename that race.

 

There's 0 incentive for non-earth builds to play orc, for non-thunder builds to play kitsune and so on.

 

Or you could be someone like me, who doesn't care about getting the best stuff and stats, and just wants to experience the game.
(If this gets added, ALL my classes are becoming elves.)

 

It has no cosmetic effect on your character so there's literally no point to it that way, just get yourself an elf skin and roleplay.

 

I like my own human skin. I prefer using my imagination.

 

How is an elf race supposed to aid that when you don't pick it for gameplay benefits and it has no cosmetic effect?

 

Cause you can feel like an elf. You feel like "Hey, I'm an elf. I'm on a higher level than these villagers. I'm clearly superior." Etc etc.

Of course, that's just my opinion, and I respect yours. I'd just like to get the point accross since it might seem like I'm trying to light a flame war.

 

can i become a kitsune/beastkin
that would be cool

edit: oh shit you already made it
sweeeeeeeet

 

fight me irl kid, behind school

 

MarkedForDeath, I made the Human Race for those who don't favor one side. In other words, the Human is supposed to be an All-Rounder. If your builds don't agree with the first five, become a Human. Simple as that.

 

For non-human races it's literally a free buff on top of your existing build so there's no incentive to actually pick anything else.

If you want races they should have traits that are not tied in with elements/attributes.

 

Can you make some suggestions? I'd be glad to hear you out.

 

Not sure if anyone else said this, but this doesn't fit into lore. Though a good concept

 

I'm still working on an excerpt for the lore. Also, I already mentioned there'd be changes the GM would have to make.

 

Also, I don't mean to be rude, but

I get a lot of this, so please read the other comments

 

Well I did say not sure if anyone else said this. That implies that I didn't read the comments
