New social skill

[Joanna]

This thread is related to numerous posts about RP donations and social exp.

Since social exp is easiest to get at this point and has least of skills , here is an proposal:

A new social skill that can only be raised by donating RP.

Even tho I have few ideas what it would do I'll leave it to community to throw in some proposals.

Likely such skill will be more valuable (provide better perks) as raising it will require to "loose" 100 x more gold than other social skills.

Most creative/reasonable idea may be rewarded with some TCS.

Now, its posts like this that make the majority of nod go "does joanna = glitchless or some sort of admin?" Because if you don't understand how speech like this makes it sound like you are saying you have direct influence over nod then I don't know how to get you to understand it. Until proven otherwise or something changes then most nodders will be of the mindset that you are just tooting your own horn because you got glitch to listen to you a time or two.

On topic though I'd suggest not making ANY social skill have too much of a benefit, just think about the amount of gold that is floating around in nod. A LOT of s1 AND s2 toons would have this skill into the 90's within minutes of it releasing.

My suggestion: make an epic social skill that increase the dom/terr you get from cb's and arena. That would lead nicely into LG runes

Another idea for an epic social skill would be reducing the amount of tax you feel by up to 50% without reducing the amount actually donated to RP (passively) and up to 25% of your active donation amount staying in your coin purse.

Could even give it a fun name like "Coin Purse Shaving".

Why are you saying this exactly? Do you have TCs set aside that you are going to give people?

Tharkas is correct. You need to avoid posting in a way that implies you are a special player/nonplayer. If you cannot, just stick to e-mailing suggestions with the understanding that e-mailed suggestions are much harder for us to keep track of and queue for future implementation.

It's a good start so far.

@Tharkas: I'm like you . just another player and statet it dozens times just maybe talking a lot and keep forum heated up (active) Look at Blaze and his academy - I didn't contribute even 10% of what he did , Daer and his nodtools.net. There is many active players out there - because there is 2 or 3 players spreading rumors and creating controversy around my name that's different story. So please stay off my person and focus on game.

Back to topic:

Gold donated for RP is permanently removed from players .

Numbers:

- Exp from RP requires 100 times more gold spent for same xp. Typically you pay only (typically ) 1% tax while you get exp from whole sum traded.

- Making it epic skill would require 10 000 times more gold "used" permanently for it so should have it in mind .

- perhaps this "gold sink" skill would balance economy to some degree


Let's see what else people come up with

Yes , those are my personal TCS I would give away. I was inspired by TCS giveaway hosted by Brother.

If someone (like N) cannot afford buying them they have opportunity to score some freebies by simply posting something creative - I hope it doesn't breaks any rules and I can give away what's mine.

I'm not special - just trying different approach and create more buzz.

If you want me to stick to e-mail and stay away from forums as it might create too much chaos I can do that no problem.

YOU put your name/person on the line when you speak the way you do. At least I have the internal fortitude to put my ACTUAL IN GAME NAME on the line too in forums. As I've stated I don't have any personal problems with you or your suggestions most of the time because you've actually brought them in line nicely. It's the constant talk like you are a "special player/non player" as stated from glitch that I constantly question.

As for the chaos or the heat.... Bring it on, I enjoy it

Back on topic again:

So basically you want skills to level by donating rp, but you have to spend 100x the gold to level it? So kinda like epic skills but not really? This opens the door for just putting skill on passive and leveling it that way. Why not just make it epic instead? You get the same desired affect without the passive exploit.

As for what the skill could actually do:

1) Increase the minimum amount of gold found in chests WITHOUT rasing the maximum found in chests. In turn could help fuel even more rp donations.
2) Lower the cost of rp/terr/dom require for when YOU AS A MASTER active runes in your clan.
3) Could help mitigate the rating loss you receive in arena when losing to someone around your level. Cause ya know, youre a social butterfly and ppl don't want to tarnish your name.
4) I dunno, i ran out of decent ideas at 2
5) Hai Joanna

I got speech today from my colleague that English have many interpretations and "dry" translation from other language doesn't necessarily have the same meaning

Funniest part is that my original thread and english version of it apparently leaves 2 completely different impressions.

Yes , i barely speak english but learning it as its required on top 4 languages i normally use. I guess i need better translator .....

I'll try to change patterns that keeps getting misinterpreted after being translated

@Tharkas: i enjoy colaborating with you - you seem a bright person - and as for forum name my first character name was Joannatester on S2 where i was checking skills and got familiar with game mechanics and made forum account Joanna - i mentioned it in one of my first posts

I like your idea #2 - exploitable (could be allowed I guess) but could tighten social life for many clans.

@Tip: I'm glad you satisfied
