I just want to point out that eventually everything will be unlocked. This is because unless we are expected to make a ton of alt characters then we are looking at something like Firefall. You got 1 character, many loadouts. (this also makes it look less like we are trying to copy Path of Exile...

Because if there are no life bars (even if they are hidden) it's not a shooter, nor an RPG (because even pen and paper RPGs have enemies that you kill have a finite number defined HP value outside of plot/quest events), nor an MMO. It's a point and click adventure puzzle, or something like a...

Powerful abilities should not be access restricted by the tree. Since we are not going to be using a vertical progression system (no levels to give points) it should be considered a research tree. Thus what it should unlock is modules that alter the abilities, and the strongest of them...

The closest thing would be a bioware RPG where non-lethal takedowns are done in a cutscene rather then in actual combat and most of the gameplay takes place in a choose your response cutscene whenever you talk to anyone. Wont change how all actual combat is deplete a HP bar though.

I would say to not put active abilities in the tree. Any abilities in the tree should be treated like it is in Path of Exile, something that modifies your active or passive abilities. Also I would say the primary sections should be Survivability/Offense/Utility. Sub sections would be...

Which if you notice in games... all non lethal takedowns still involve emptying a health bar. Effectively the only reason why NPCs get a non-lethal takedown is quest protection. Otherwise they would be dead. Specimen collector? Empty a health bar, it gets picked up for quest. Wildlife...

Well unfortunately combat is either reduce enemy HP to 0 or combat never happens in a shooter. This is not a tab target MMO like Final Fantasy XIV where in the quest you are working on (and only specific quests at that) can you use an emote to get a mob to stop attacking. Even in games like...

Houtengenki is a great artist. Have you tried Final Fantasy XIV yet grummz? One of my favorite artists is Hisahiko, Though they have been doing cut Kantai Collection comics for awhile now.

@Daynen that kinda talk is separate from making the combat interesting and a challenge for the player. Which is what is being discussed in this thread. Things that players can do besides combat is a topic that should have its own thread. The entire basis of the discussion in THIS thread is all...

If resources are used to advance in unlocking crafting plans then there wont be power leveling as we wont have XP. Due to it being pointless. That being said, nothing stops people from doing that partnering while thumping. The big difference though is that both the vet and the newbie will have a...

Could just pull a borderlands. In the Lore of the game you never died (cause you are that much of a badass) but mechanically there is a respawn system for gameplay sake. Borderlands uses this as a reason for why they can permadeath ex-player characters in their games. Since they are no longer a...

Recoil existed in Firefall since the very beginning. Primarily in the form of Randomized Cone of Fire and Climbing/Descending. Climbing (and descending) recoil was removed from most weapons, randomized cone of fire never was. Screen shake was never part of the recoil system to my knowledge...

Something that could possibly happen further down the line if the system was modular enough.

That also looks really good, are you a professional artist?

Looks like you need to fix that @Earth_Soldier though why are you using IMG tags when we got a good insert image button?

That would be something new, and fit in with the dynamic events system.

That looks great though I would suggest taking that design and creating a simpler less detained version of it, if it was on the side of a THMPR it would be really hard to see the tiny details and on lower texture settings it would pretty much be a blur.

And going by that there is no reason to exclude any modern day flag because they could have been recreated by any of those 28 human civilizations which may or may not have multiple countries on their planets each with their own flag. They could even have existed within the Crixia universe tied...

I miss Jon Stewart. I mean sure he was a comedian, but he was a good source of political news with his style of comedy. He also went after both sides of the isle equally unless one side was throwing more stupid out then the other.

So effectively a series of local AI Directors?
