RPG Ideas?

[Dracula]

Hi, i wanted to make a epic rpg in WE, but i dont know which way would be better.

its either make heros with class of their own, having the skills that is set, or let player chooses a race and pick skill for their hero, and let them be who they want to be.

I've always been a fan of custom hero arena =o. Just because I could pick Anub'Arak and make him more rapist with all the different skills.

I agree with you Neiko, Anubarak is the best model of hero forever

I think that custom RPGs are much more better than RPGs where player has hero and at the very beginning player knows how strong the hero will be (or what abilities the hero will have) when he/she reach the max level. I just like dynamic games where you dont know the end of game.

On custom RPG there is much more work to do. I know it 'cause im making one for more than 1 year and it is still not done (it is not EPIC rpg, just rpg)

I do not like custom at all, simply because there are always going to be rigged combos no matter how hard you try to balance them. Like if you have a multishot ability (one that lets your range hero attack 3 targets at a time), and bash. That means that you can bash 3 people at a time, whch is sorta gay. However, you can make very good spell systems, like the one in Defiance ORPG, where you do not define your own spells and your own model. I do not like RPG's in warcraft, but I find Defiance's ORPG somewhat bearable, unlike basically all RPG's I have played.

You can try mixing Custom hero Arena and Spellcraft.

Defiances RPG is one of the reasons why i started to make my own rpg. Defiances rpg is one of the best rpgs on b.net. BUT. I hate terrain which is used there and and some other details.

You are right, it is impossible to make balanced RPG. But is it an aim to make balanced custom RPG? It doesnt have sense to make RPG where each hero would be equal. I think that custom RPGs are about tactic which a player chose.

I admit most RPG have something stupid, wrong, "gay". Mostly it is some "hidden item" or "secret ability" or just as you said, some stupid combo (by hidden item i mean some POWERFUL item, which a new player -noob- doesnt have chance to get 'cause he/she doesnt know how). But if creator of map would prevent these mistakes (super combos, ....), it would be pnly about tactic which player chose.


//// everything i wanted to tell is that custom RPG should be about tactics and not about knowledge of secret things. And there shouldnt be super combos as you said.

I didn't know that Bash worked with a multishot ability.

Go Custom RPG, it is a lot better. Players will enjoy being able to fully control what their hero is like, instead of just having a preset boring dude. The only way a normal RPG could compare (in my opinion) is to have a LOT of heros.

hmmmm i see i see, i can go cumstom there wouldnt be any rigged spells, because i like to make numbers small as possible.

hmm and muti shot only bashs one unit at a time, because the other missiles that flys out arent really your base attacks.

I think this fits better in Warcraft III Discussion. Moved.

Anyone here remember Wars of Warcraft ORPG?

It was awesome, but needed some heavy polish. Maybe do something like that.
