I have a few suggestions, I hope you like them.

First, I think we should have some sort of serum that you can inject to temporarily relieve tiredness. However, afterward they'd "crash" and have extra tiredness added. I t could be a set amount, or equal to how long they went without gaining exhaustion.

What about weapons? I know your monster is supposed to be a weapon itself, but claw coverings or spiky collars could be used. Also, you could get the elements from creatures you fight. Different towns could use different materials and make different weapons. I suppose you could do the same with armor.

Are you planning on ever having images for your houses? I could draw some, but not on this computer. I have a paint-less Mac.

Are you ever going to have caves and tunnels which you can explore?

There should be a warning when you wander into an area where your monster may not be able to handle the mobs there. Something like "This area may contain monsters that should only be faced by a level 10 monster or higher. Continue?"

In PvP it'd be nice if we could search for players with monsters at a similar level and strength (meaning all stats) to our own. That way we could look for a fair or even unfair fight.

I hope these suggestions and comments are helpful!

Hmm, I like the first suggestion. The only problem is, if someone used the serum to make their monster go back to "rested" after working, they could work again silly emoticon Then the serum would add, say, two/three hours to their tiredness the next hour (like, if you used it at 4:30, at 5:00 it would come into effect and add the extra hours) they'd still be getting more working done than they should be.

Alternatively, it could set them to "exploring" so you could work, and then go exploring. It would probably have to be a little hard to get, though, not like something you can use every single day or anything.

I dunno about weapons/armor, I'll let Vael handle that one. That might be an idea for later in the game, though.

House images would be awesome, I think I can make an executive decision here (when you don't ask anyone and just decide for them) and say feel free to draw all you want happy emoticon Again, no clue if there were any plans for that, but they couldn't hurt, right?

Caves and tunnels, yeah, there will be dungeons later on if I remember right.

Warning signs, also were planned, but I think they took a backseat to adding more content and fixing things for a little while. Let me guess, you wandered into the desert? silly emoticon

PvP is in the finishing stages of being redone, it's working now, but maybe like... 90% done. Currently, we're all trying to think of a good thing to do with PvP, so feel free to be a part of the solution silly emoticon

The serum would be really easily abused unfortunately. I was thinking we could strip away hours from exploring at the hospital, what do you think? (but not work-resting)

Weapons are already in. :o We have equips. They're more of accesories than literal weapons.

I'd -love- to have images for the houses, even just small ones. If you're willing, I'll accept all donations.

Yes, there will be dungeons for campaign 2.

I am considering how that would work. I did forget to do this, as Demi said, I'll put this on the todo list.

Yes! I had that idea this morning. happy emoticon I am trying to think of a way it could work because there's no actual "projected toughness" a trainer has in MonBre, even c-powers are done by formulae.

Helpful indeed. Thanks for your time.

Stripping away hours from exploring might be good, for example I have a few hours left on the timer for one of my monsters (from working, but the point still stands) and am about to go out, and probably won't be back in time to send it to work right away. If only I had a serum to fix that problem, amirite?

Would you be able to do that? Like it'd go "ok monster is exploring, ok I can fix this" but when it's tired from working it'd be like "hey, you're tired, not exploring... don't be so silly."

Add up all the c-powers of their monsters? That'd be a pretty easy idea of how strong they are. Then add in breeder level for good measure.

Adding all of them up is harsh on the server but it may need to be done. I was thinking trainer level, because typically the more exp you have, the stronger you are. It's hard on the server because I'd need to get 5 stats from 5 monsters for..... all the trainers. wink emoticon In order to be the most accurate. so ya

It was kind of a spurt of ideas, I'd figured you were already working on some. Good work!

Hmm, well, it wouldn't be 100% accurate, but you could update the B-power (lol, c-power + breeder) only every so often. Every day or two or something at midnight, it checks, and then that sticks until the next time it checks?

Feel free to spurt out ideas, that's all I ever do and it's worked well so far silly emoticon

I was thinking that, and honestly, the script would probably time out because of this shitty server. -______-

What would happen if it did that? You could put it in as a test for one night just to see what happens. Then again, it might just be one of those things that will only break 1% of the time - and that ONE TIME IT DOES BREAK it screws everything up.
