Balu -> RE: =AE= Pony vs. Pony (10/2/2011 12:56:41)

Dam, I am hooked on this game! Being a huge fan of connect 3 games (not that this is exactly that kind of game), I am really liking PvP. Don`t know how you come up with all this great stuff, but, after a hard day's work, logging in and playing a dozen or so matches is really a good way to melt the stress or tension away. Haven`t had that much time to play, only lvl 11 at the moment, but what is this I hear about a healing spell?! Haven`t seen anything like that so far, maybe after I lvl up some more and get the upgrade.
Anywho, I don`t really know how far you want to go with this one or how complex your plans are regarding PvP, but I really hope it becomes more complex, rich in content and challenging.
Since I have a pleasant gaming experience when playing, I am starting to wonder what else would I want to see in this game. So here are a few ideas aka suggestions, and please note that I have no idea how much work would it be, how ridiculous they are and even if they are possible to implement:
1. More orb types: they could have different colors and different effects, like red could have a DoT(damage over time) effect aka burn the enemy for a couple of seconds, decreasing it`s health pool.
-green color, same as above only it would poison the rival pony maybe with some visual effect to boot, like a green skull looming above it`s head.
- white(ish) color, could freeze the enemy for a few seconds, time in which you could really open a can of whoopheiny on him.
- black orbs which make the rival pony afraid, unable to act for a few seconds.
Concentrated essence orbs, bejeweled style, that can be made if you make/draw certain patterns like in BladeHaven.
Basically if you make a square or diamond shape, all the orbs related to the shape disappear and one "super" orb appears that can do different things, either by simply clicking on it or linking it with 2 other orbs - heals you by half of the health pts you currently have or adds +10 dmg if connected with 2 yellow orbs or locks a few orbs on the enemy board for a period of time making them unusable etc.
2. Spells, that take away points from your health, candy or shield pools in order for the player to be able to cast them, or that count how many orbs of a certain type have you linked during a duel (like a cooldown effect only the other way around) and when you get to a given number, like 50, can be cast, by clicking on an icon somewhere on the playing screen. As effects they could reshuffle the opponent’s board, break it, randomize a number of orbs or do other thing.
3. Different game modes. The one that we have now is great. Fun, not too complex but challenging nonetheless, like if you are level 7 and fighting against a lvl 16 with chocolate rating :-) But a more difficult mode would be great, maybe with a bigger board, current size X 2, harder AI aka mooks and a boss (like in a random quest but without the dialog).
I would also like something like a Traveler Mode where you have a map like in BladeHaven, visit places and do quests for rewards, equipable items, new pets, or powers that save in your inventory and you can access later during battles in said mode.
What I would LOVE to see implemented would be like a Settler mode, where you basically build up a settlement, starting from an empty field and which fills up with buildings, HoMM style. It would go something like this: win one or several duels, get to add another building to your place.
I would also like a place, be it the char page or a place somewhere ingame, where I could see stats regarding my pony, achievements and some badges for special or awesome things I did, like linking 24 gems of the same type.
That`s it for now. If some of the above has been suggested before in this thread, I`m sorry but I sadly haven`t had the time to read all the posts, only a handful. Some of these are probably impossible to implement or darn right ridiculous, I know, but it sure would be awesome if some actually will be ingame someday.
Oh and thanks for giving me another good game to have loads of fun with!
