I have a suggestion, whether or not I choose to do anything with it depends entirely on your reactions and optinions.

Would people prefer it if you simply start off with a set number of power points and then choose your characters base powers from there. This will give characters more individuality and give a bit more freedom to the players.

Basic abilities will still cost 1, Improved will cost 3 and Mastered will cost 5. You will get, say, 15 points to customise your character. I will probably make an effort to add another 3-4 powers to the list if this is done.

What are your opinions Vortex?

What would this do to existing characters?

I'd definitely prefer this way, but yeah what would happen to the accepted ones?

i think that would be exceptional

I think that would be a more beneficial system. How would you progress as far as experience levels go? Would each level gain a set number of points, or would the points increase by level?

Either way, I like this method better.

it sounds like more fun this way.

No point increase, I just want to take some focus away from leveling up. I suppose there will be SOME ways to gain extra powers like events and such but that's it.

Existing characters keep their rank and get enough free stat points to put them on equal terms with new ones.

I prefer this since it will end all the pointless fights.

So is it in effect as of today?

No, not yet.

i think this system is much better than the one with now because so not everyone has the same powers like alot of people now have footwork masterd.

Well that makes everyone equal, but the events part might be hard on those whose agenda conflicts with them, but sure sounds like a nice idea.

Crap... apparently my post didn't go through (my net has been laggy as frig today).

Here goes.

Current system - Leveling idea is great.  Pre-set list of varied powers is great.  The WoW-ish tree-system is great.  

Proposed system - More starting powers, allowing more diversity of fighters (everyone can be well-rounded more easily).  Event-inspired ability gain is a GREAT idea... but I'd put that for something special.  I don't like the idea of no growth... I foresee a population of several thousand characters, each spec'd to take down another type.  With a leveling system, this is avoided.

Either way, I like the idea of special events.  I'm sure there's a way to make it possible for everyone to do such an (using WoW terms here) instance, or at least have a crack at it.  I've even got a few ideas bubbling up...

Hmmm...

Problem is the RPG now is stuck in a "lol hey u wanna fite?" "lol shur" *fite* cycle and putting less focus on leveling up abilities would fix this.
