Abilities like in Pokemon (such as me having an example one called "Adrenaline" which makes my character more faster and stronger when on critical health), all of those effects from the Paper Mario series (such as Invisible, Huge, Tiny, etc.), partners (oh god yes!), and team attacks/battle/groups.

We need a lot of stuff from Paper Mario games (considering what digi is based on)... Partners would be nice, as well as Pixls, maybe.

The Pixl system could work, as there would be a preset amount, with different terrain-navigating abilities. Maybe one can get you over lava or water, and another will help scale mountains or travel across a plain faster.

Also, I think everyone should all have their own home map to customize so that any challenger is given a disadvantage, making it a challenging feat to take down the ruler of the domain.

And another thing: Bosses. We need bosses. Imagine a few people getting together to take down a boss. It would be epic, and it would help cooperation between players, and possibly bring alliances into play.

I think there should be more than one slot for equipment

EX:
Boots,
Helmet,
Armor,
Leggings,
Sack ((inventory)),
Primary Weapon,
Secondary Weapon (((A.K.A. double weilding for small weapons such as daggers and knives, cannot have Secondary if Primary is too heavy/ is two-handed))),
Pocket ((((for coins, keys, small items, etc.))))

Etc.

I think there should be:
-Winner's Rewards (Coins, more equipment, etc.)
-Loser's Penalty (Lose coins)
-Healing Items (Like a mushroom, potion, etc.)
-Hurtful Items (Poison mushroom, Tampered-with potion, etc.)
-Just For Fun Battles (You don't risk losing or gaining anything)
-Sabotage System ("Lay traps" around your area, anyone who comes near, or anything similar, will lose hp)
-Minigames ("Punching Bag", "Bounty Hunter", or "Foot Race" for example)


Just my $0.02.

Here's an idea for a 7x7 grid:

M = Player Starter Space
O = Empty Space

OMOMOMO
OOMOMOO
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
OOMOMOO
OMOMOMO

Also, for the equipment slots idea, I think it could work. But we don't want this to become too complicated or winner = rich guy. I think that if we have my proposed 3 slots - Weapon, Armor, and Badge - each with their own Levels, then it'd be easier to figure out whether somebody is too powerful or not. And also so you don't have to spend a heck of a lot of coins on all that seperate equipment.

@vdogam3r: I think it's kinda obvious that there will be hurtful and harmful items. As for rewards/penalties, I think my above quote on "Battles" is a good system for this. A bit outdated how I said 3 or maybe 4 people per team and now we've decided on 5, along with some other minor outdated details, but still a very good template for making and joining battles. It also covers Rewards and Entry Fees.

But you bring up a good point with Traps. We could have multiple Traps with different effects. By "walking over", I mean passing over the space that it's on. Let me pull out some ideas:

Bear Trap: Deals minor damage and prevents movement for 2 turns (you can still attack and do other stuff). Activated by walking over. Visible. Remains after being activated.

Pitfall: Prevents movement for 2 turns (you can still attack and do other stuff). Activated by walking over. Invisible until activated. Disappears after activated.

Motion Sensor Bomb: Causes major Explosion/Fire damage. Activated by walking over. Disappears after activated. (Visible or Invisible? Not sure, they were hard to see in-game, but they could be seen)

What type of stuff are we doing for the sprites?

_______________________________________________________

Do the users have to make their own sprites, are they pre-generated?


How big will the have to be (if user-created)?


How many different animations will we have to make (EX: Walking, attacking with weapon, swiming, running, jumping, falling, drinking, sleeping, talking, taunting, attacking without a weapon, using magic, using special abilities, dying, one fire, poisoned, paralyzed, tired, angry, happy, sad, confused, facing up, facing down, facing left, facing right... etc.z)?


Will armor/weapons be visible on the player?

[BAMFing ARCHER]

How about using "customizable" minions? Something along the lines of the Golems from Legend of Mana. You'd have a menu for your minion, and you can put items in slots for various effects. (For example, adding a Life Shroom to the Armor slot would add a life, while adding it to the hands makes healing more efficent, etc.).

[Chaos-Stev-0]

If we do have equips, then why not let us make special group items? It functions as an equip, but it has no use besides the ability that it shows that you are in someone's group. As long as you have it, you are in that person's group. The moment you take it off, your group becomes a regular team of people that can attack you. *shot for bad ideas*

[BAMFing ARCHER]

How about an "item randomizer" option in matches? This would pool all the users items together, and sort them. Then the items would be handed out to each player in an almost-random fashion, ending up with each user having the same amount of items. It adds some measure of luck and balance to it. Odd items would not be counted(for example, if there was a match[10 players total], and there was 62 items, each player would have 6, and 2 would lie out of the battle.)

And after this battle, the users get their items back the way they were.
