[crossfire] Game change proposals

[Nicolas Weeger]

Hello.


I'd like to change various things in the game, to make it funnier (IMO) in non 
combat aspects. So here are random proposals.



What about "mini-games"?

For instance, instead of a mere lockpicking, you actually have to use the 
picks in the right order in a limited time to pick a lock - if you fail, you 
trigger the traps, of course.

[bonus points to who knows the old game I'm getting inspiration from :)]






What about changing alchemy (including the jeweler etc. variants)?

For each formulae you start with a ~3% chance of success. You succeed? Get 3 
to 5 points. Failure? Get 0-1 point (failure is a valuable lesson, after all 
:)). Capped to ~90%. And maybe not giving global experience.

What about random (ie player-dependant) parameters? You have more success 
during certain hours, or outside vs inside, or...?




Then reduce the dropped items. I mean, so much junk!




Then, slowing (a lot) combat, making it more tactical. Instead of a zillion 
monsters, some hard to defeat monsters, where you can use all your skills and 
items, and attempt various combinations.

Then various effects on weapons: stun, knock back, confuse, slow, etc.

Reduce the zillion elemental attacks to a lower number (6? 8?), other things 
are side effects.






Thoughts? Flames? Ideas?



Regard

Nicolas
