I hope I'm not suggesting anything to foolish or bothersome, however the idea for Team abilities has been on my mind for a while, I'm not sure if this is an entirely new concept at all however I will make my proposal aware here and cover anything that I feel should be implemented to make this an efficient, balanced and simple portion of the abilities.
So far this is simply a thought, I'm asking the community rather you would like to see this happen or not, and how you would all like to see it be performed. However if the community alright rejects the idea I wont be opposed XD. So what are your thoughts?
The Concept
First I would explain the concept of Group Abilities, Group abilities are abilities that can only be used as a team, with 2 or more players. These are similar to "team ultimate's" or "team specials" in some fighting game franchises. (Here is an example of what I mean for people who dont get it, however I must say most of the attacks done in the video are very dramatic, yet they hold the same concept.)THE UPS
The whole purpose behind the concept of a group ability, regardless of what spec it is considered is that it would increase its power, effects and cause users to interact more. These have very concrete Ups and Downs, and I will go over the balances for them as well. Group Abilities also follow the standard abilities rules with small perks and downfalls.
Ups:
- Damage is Doubled.
- Greater Versatility
The Downs
Now in order to create a balance for these techniques then you would need to have a down side and weakness to them, lets go over these,- Double Cooldown
- All or Nothing (If one of the portions of the attacks fails to land/do its intended effect. The attack will fail)
The Balance
Here are further elements intended to create balance, I am up for your suggestions, because this needs to be considered a fair, efficient balanced system in order for it to work.- Each player uses their stam/magoi to use the ability
- Possibly may only be used once per thread
- takes double the words to train, can not be trained alone or bought with an ability voucher
- Can only be sustained once, and if so can not be used again the thread(pending on your opinions)
So far this is simply a thought, I'm asking the community rather you would like to see this happen or not, and how you would all like to see it be performed. However if the community alright rejects the idea I wont be opposed XD. So what are your thoughts?
