Looking for a game to play!!!
« on: January 08, 2015, 01:34:11 am »
I have many games but right now I want to play a game that is in the same style as ESO but I would like the characters to have 100s of spells to choose from so that every part of a battle could be different and would cause players to have to adapt. I would love to have like 36 spells bound and all of them be necessary. Dose a game like this exist? WoW has a lot of spells but I would like something with more detail. For instance, there could be a spell that causes 10 dmg but there could be 10 versions of it such as each of the elements, debuffs, or anything else. There has to be something out there.

Thanks for the responses guys I think I want to try Smite. Not exactly what I was looking for but it seems cool.

Why not just go make your own game?

If you don't mind potentially not being able to use your favorite language there are plenty of game engines out there for building real games(assuming you don't want to make your own engine and likely reinvent the wheel).

Right now I've been playing around with the Unity3D engine since it has a free version + shit ton of resources backing it up. Honestly kinda surprised that it's not that hard. If you're not used to 3D math(vectors, transforms, etc) some of the initial tutorials and books can be a bit jarring but after a bit it starts to make sense and you see patterns in the math(and Im actually terrible at this kind of math). My main complaint so far is lack of programming language choice for the scripted game logic, but picking up C#(most popular language for Unity it seems) hasn't been difficult.

So long as you don't try to get ahead of yourself I could see someone making what you're talking about. One potential problem might be all the different animation and particle effects you might need to account for hundreds of spells taking up space and processing time. If you're willing to sacrifice a bit of variance though that shouldn't be a problem. Depending on your programming experience it'd also be a good chance to experiment with making a little 'domain language' for prototyping new spells quickly, which would making going from a few spells to hundreds fairly easy after you've laid the groundwork.


Just a suggestion, probably a bit overkill suggestion but hey :P

Dota 2, maybe League.....I've been pretty fond of Vindictus lately, you might want to give it a try!

I have played LoL and Dota 2. I guess what I am looking for is something like Skyrim for only casters and small scale first person pvp like 20 v 20 or something. All players would be able to choose from all spells in the game (100+) and gear would defend against certain effects. It would be impossible to defend against all types since there will be so many so the one or two people with spells that they cant really block will target them. I think it would be very intense. Also the buffs and defuffs would be very marginal so that the people with the most skill win. Just an idea.

YES!!! That's it!!! It doesn't have to be MOBA but that's about right. This would be a great game
