Increasing the RPG feeling
Hello all, hi Maveritchell,

thank you very much for your excellent mod - I have searched a long time for something like that and we like it very much. I know, that the mod is in development, but nevertheless I have a question for upcoming features (or if they are not planned yet, maybe some ideas for you ;)).

Is it planned to add the following features?
- Add a additional energy/mana bar; the spells need an appropriate value of mana and regenerate over time (and/or potions). Maybe the total mana can also upgraded by level up them like the ark stats etc.

- Excellent would be generally some additional stats (e.g. mana, phisical strength, magical strength, physical defense,...), so the power of each ability and each job can be calculated with different stats. Every role have to level in there own way... Maybe the additional stats can be added to Ark with items/engrams or special food etc.
The power of each ability should be calculated by different characteristics. For example: The power of phisical attacks should be calculated from the mele damage stat (like it is); but the healing power or ranged magical attacks should be calculated by another one (maybe mana or magical strength or with a set of different stats?). Also the life ore other stats could be used for calculating the power of the buffs.

- Call the ability instantly, if the number in the hotbar is pushed; the advantage would be, that sword/shield etc. can keep in your hand.

- Level up each ability for themselves (maybe with engrams or a own system), so that different manifestations will be possible (one Arcanist uses especially fire abilitys and another maybe lighting etc.). This will bring up a more interesting and different role playing (you can play more defensive or offensive with each role). It should be not possible to level up all abilitys to there max. power, so you have to decide each time, which one you want to level up and which one not.


I have a lot of more ideas, but for now, it should be enough. ;)

Best wishes and thanks,
Slamaq
