Currently, armour skin and weapon skin cant be dyed.
New world should change this to allow skins to be dyed including weapon skins. The basic limitation currently will affect the sales of skins negatively. Players dont want to be wearing armour sets in different colours.
weapon dye:
Weapons should be dyeable, the player would be able to dye multiple parts from the hilt to blade. The weapon skins would also be dyeable.
weapon dyeing:
Multiple dye channels:
All weapons, Shields would have the max 4 dye slots primary secondary Accent Tint
armour dye: Armour can be dyed
All armour should have the max 4 dye slots, primary secondary Accent Tint especially epic and legendary sets
players would be able to color every part of the set without any part being the default color
Transmorg: Lets the player keep the stats of their gear while their weapon and armour cosmetic display is of another gear.
Using items to turn armour / wep / shield into skins:
-
armour can be made into skins by using items
-
weapons and shields should also be able to turn into skins in new world by using items
gameplay feedback:
//////////////////////
New world needs to update their skinning items for different:
-
species
-
colour variant of that species
example: of making hides unique
-
specie: wolf hide instead of raw hide
-
colour variant: brown wolf hide ( as the hide is from a brown wolf )
-
this should be revamped for all different current specie and specie with different colour hides in New World
- species: ( rabbit, boar, bear , wolf other beasts ( bison,cow, deer, big cats lynx , bobcat, couger, tiger, panther, goat, elk )
- colour variant: when the same species have different colours
their hide should be a different colour variant
example
brown wolf = brown wolf hide, ( ebony wolf In everfall )
white wolf = white wolf hide ( Alabaster, frostfur wolf In great cleave )
black wolf = black wolf hide ( islebound wolf in bright wood mourning wolf in mourningdale )
grey wolf = grey wolf hide ( salt hollow hunt )
elemental wolf = the wolves of the angry earth should also be unique
brown bear = brown bear hide ( grizzly bear in monarchs bluff, weavers fen, brightwood )
black bear = black bear hide ( black bear in brightwood )
white bear = white bear hide ( great cleave )
- ( by making each colour variant, the wolf and bear hides become unique, and make crafters venture out to different zones for that unique species hide and hide colour )
//////////////////////
currently skinning rabbit, boar , wolf, ( other beast creatures bear, bison, deer, elk )
give raw hide.
( generalizing the loot pool ruins immersion )
species hide variant:
as they are different species they should be
-
wolf hide - thick wolf hide - iron wolf hide ( different tiers of wolf hide )
-
rabbit hide
-
boar hide
-
bison hide
-
deer hide
-
elk hide
-
goat hide
-
bear hide
-
pig hide
-
sheep hide
-
alligator hide
( and the many different species in new world ) -
( Each species hides are unique to them, new world should also make these unique to the different species)
///////////////////////
When a monster type ( species ) is different their loot drop should be different
-
ebonscale reach has peacocks
-
while everfall and most zones have turkeys
Example:
As peacocks and turkeys are different types of birds (species)
they should not both drop the same poultry and feathers.
The peacock is more exotic and flashy than a turkey.
The peacock should drop something like colourful pattern feathers.
peacock feathers:
turkey feathers:
( the peacock feather type is different than a turkey feather type)
( peacock should drop ripe poultry more tasty version of the
turkey poultry )
currently both turkey and peacocks drop the same items:
poultry:
feathers
////////////////////////
New PVE quest types for New World:
These are quest type that can be added into new world
to add diversity and more adventure.
- free faction members and prisoners that have been taken captive by the other faction
player has to free npc from cages within time limit:
if they are not freed within the time limit they will die, quest failed.
And
If the npc enemy units are disrupted they will shoot the captives: which would be quest fail
Npc can be placed in cages, player would need a key to unlock their cages or hack their cages by minigame to free them.
captives in cages, can need keys to free them:
npc taken captive player must unlock door by minigame
- Win a race against the npc faction member ( can be horse racing in new world )
player races on different race track and completes laps
must come 1st place
- reaching checkpoints while npc factions are not aggroed
player must move to different checkpoints while npc are moving about
if the player is exposed. they fail the quest
this is not a battle quest, player cannot battle as this would be quest fail
- Catch the thief
player has to catch a speedy thief that has been stealing from aternum townhalls
- Accuracy gun / bow slinger quest
Player has to head shoot different objects within time limit, missing a shot is fail
in new world there can be different shooting ranges. Players can use musket or bow to complete this quest.
Example within 10 seconds get 5 head shots on the straw puppet
within 15 seconds get 8 head shots on the straw puppet ( elite )
shooting flying beasts falcons, owls and birds, bats
-
These accuracy quest is different as the flying beast would be moving in the air
-
The flying beasts would multiple to make it harder and the player would need to shoot them down or quest fail
-
Quest can have time limit i.e complete in 10 seconds
-
1 life, should the player miss 1 shot its quest fail
flying beasts: Different Birds And Bats can be used:
/////////////////////
New types of chests ( player would need special keys to open them )
-
most chests in new world can be opened by any player
-
these new type of chest to open them the player would need special keys ( adds more adventure for players to get the keys )
-
these chest are unique that they have their own titles
example dark zone chest, marauder faction chest, windward chest as these chest types are different, the keys would be different. -
for players to acquire these unique keys would add adventure and exploration, as every key would have different requirements to acquire them.
-
these locked chest can also be placed underwater in shipwrecks
Unique locked chest: Renn locked chest
key item needed to open unique chest:
- There can also be locked doors in new world, players would need keys to open the locked doors to new zones
////////////////////
Making ebon scale reach and the ancient Chinese theme more expansive:
New world ebonscale reach has a zone based on ancient china,
another zone connected to ebonscale reach should be transformed
into the ancient Chinese theme, in comparison brimstone sands which is based on Egypt and ancient Rome is much larger on the map compared to the ancient Chinese theme of ebonscale reach.
-
ebsonscale reach can include ancient china and medieval japan
as both have similar architecture, with unique additions -
ancient china should be based on the dynasty of the kingdoms
between shu wu wei
ancient china kingdoms: shu, wu, wei
- npc characters rulers of the kingdoms shu lui bei, wu sun jian, wei cao cao etc
Rulers of the kingdoms: 220-581 CE
ancient china gameplay:
different time periods of china
- with different rulers and their kingdoms ( dynasty )
These are the different designs that can be added into ebonscale reach
to make the zone expansive and interesting:
ancient Chinese mountains:
buildings built on the chinese mountains:
ancient Chinese valleys:
battle field 4 dragon pass:
ancient Chinese cities:
battlefield 4 dragon valley:
pandas:
Bamboo trees:
ancient Chinese mythological creatures: can be normal and open world boss monsters
medieval japan: fedualism
( New NPC mobs )
ancient japan and their samurai:
ninjas:
ninja weapon types: Used a ninjato ( short version of a katana )
other weapon types: shurikens, kunai, sickles, claws, firebombs ( throwing projectile )
ancient japan cities:
cherry blossom trees:
ancient japan mythological creatures: can be normal and open world boss monsters
different rulers during the medieval period:
-
In new world the different rulers can be used within 600 years
1000 - 1800 century etc -
The rulers would have story which would unfold and the player would be part of the story development
-
example shingen takeda died in 1573, however with the power boost of the lost he is revived and lives again etc.
-
the ancient Chinese and Japanese rulers can vs in new world and their kingdoms would be based in ebonscale reach and other zones similar to ebsonscale reach
different time periods of japan:
- with different rulers and their armies
////////////////////
ancient china
conquest type gameplay
/////////////////////////
Making great cleave more expansive:
Great cleave doesn’t have any historical cultural theme it’s based on
to add more design to great cleave it should incorporate
- The Ancient Mongolia ruler Genghis and his Mongol horde
- and Eskimos the people that are related to the people of Mongolia
- the Vikings ( they are inhabitants of ice zones Scandinavia )
- Great cleave should also be expanded like ebon scale reach
mongol horde:
mongol style armour and weapon designs
Mongol buildings:
Eskimos:
- using wolf packs to carry the sleigh
Igloo huts
- Eskimo attire winter fur coats
igloo hut villages
snow villages with lanterns
ice rivers with fishing and snow for snowball battles.
ship and boat ports
snow creatures:
Mongol army:
mongol mythological creatures: can be normal or boss monsters
Viking’s habitants: Scandinavia
- ice zone
Viking architecture city and villages:
Viking ships and boats
Viking army:
viking mythological creatures: can be normal and world boss monsters
what snow and ice zone should be:
///////////////////////////
Sword and shield changes light and heavy attacks In New world
- player is able to do 2 heavy attacks
( currently in New world player can do only 1 heavy attack )
example: straight sword 2 heavy attacks
https://youtu.be/0zFNYCwdtg4?t=7
- changing the 3rd light attack animation to something else
( Currently In New world the 3rd hit animation is not epic )
current sword and shield light attack:
https://youtu.be/8i9L1CW0HDo?t=2
example: epic straight sword light attacks ( These are more like a swordsman )
https://youtu.be/0zFNYCwdtg4?t=3
current sword and shield skill whirlwind blade is cartoony:
https://youtu.be/8i9L1CW0HDo?t=23
Making the skill whirlwind blade to its original animation
( this animation is less cartoony and more like a swordsman )
https://youtu.be/-gD-wbhFBuk?t=84
New world error in light attack animation of the sword and shield:
during the light attack animation, the 3rd hit changes to the heavy attack animation at Random.
While the player is using the light attack.
/////////////////////////
new fun activity for new world: treasure hunting
players can traverse in zones and use their metal detector for buried treasure
( gold,metals,jewels,medallions, medals etc)
https://youtu.be/pWfWYQrpUB8?t=76
https://youtu.be/f6dYndW4t34?t=7
New archaeological items in new world
broken stone pieces:
combined to make a stone treasure map:
-
these ancient stone rocks have engraved of mysterious letters and diagrams
-
they spawn randomly all over new world
( players can trade them and sell them on the market ) -
a player would need to discover and collect 100 and 200 of these
and connect them together to form a map
( the larger the map, the more stone pieces are needed ) -
each stone pieces have a number digit, players would need to collect and discover each unique stone piece and combine them like a jigsaw puzzle to complete the stone map
-
For example player can discover stone piece number 1 and discover stone piece number 1 again ( as the player has the same stone pieces, the map cant be completed )
the player would need stone piece number 2 and number 3 to progress in their map completion. -
this map would then need to be cleansed from the corrosion as the 3000 years have made them corroded. ( by item or crafting )
-
The broken stone pieces can be made into a complete map or used and traded into the townhall for territory standings
-
In new world the stone pieces can have 5 to 10 percent spawn chance in the open world and during quests
( when a player fast travels to a new zone, there will be 5 to 10 percent chance for a stonepiece to spawn in that zone )
while adventuring player finds randomly spawning treasure:
- 10 percent spawn chance during missions
https://youtu.be/qfmhUvAKlrE?t=115
The stone maps would be treasure maps:
-
When the player has completed the stone map
example cutless keys stone map completed ( other zones will have their own maps, and underwater maps ) -
each map would have their own title weavers fen map, first light map etc.
-
it will display different items in the zone of cutless keys
red cross display there may be treasure in that zone:
-
there is a small chance that the items the player discovers are common items and not rare treasure
common items: clay pots and rusted buckets etc
common items: random pebbles and stone
common items: sea shells
rare treasure golden jewelry:
rare coins from past civilizations
rare artifacts from civilizations: artworks and crafts of vases and sculptures
- each time the player completes the same cutless keys map, the red cross display would be re arranged to different areas. ( as different sailors have discovered treasures in different places at cutless keys and no two maps are the same )
example cutless keys map A ( the red cross is placed at different zone )
cutless keys map B ( the red cross is placed at a different zone )
-
the player will have 10 chances to dig around cutless for the treasure.
(after the 10 digging chances are used, the stone map would automatically break into pieces ) -
( the player would need to re-complete the cutless keys map to dig around cutless keys for treasure again)
-
Players can sell complete stone treasure maps to other players in the market or they can sell the stone pieces separately.

/////////////////
Floor puzzles:
The floor puzzles can have 2 variations:
-
one member of the party has to complete the puzzle, when they die the next party member would complete it. all party members cannot step onto the puzzle.
-
the entire party has to complete the puzzle, this would require teamwork as the party member that makes a mistake that party member could die and kill the entire party.
The party would play the floor puzzle to proceed to the next phase of the dungeon.
each party member would step onto the puzzle to complete it. When a party member dies, from the puzzle traps, other party members would try to complete the puzzle.
The puzzle would have tiles with traps , stepping onto the wrong tile would kill the player, while the correct one would open a pathway to the exit.
https://youtu.be/r5wlS6k5o3U?t=153
Floors puzzles can be based on:
- pen and paper games:
https://www.thelondonmother.net/easy-pen-and-paper-games/
-
noughts and cross ( connect the same symbols in a straight line )
-
multiplication ( mathematics )
-
cross word box fill ( answer question by filling in the word into the boxes )
-
The lore of new world can be used example question: what is the island the player is traversing, the answer: is aeternum.
-
cross word search ( on this massive alphabet, the player would need to find the word and highlight it on the alphabet )
-
The words are scattered vertically, horizontally, diagonally, reversed etc
-
The lore of new world can be used for the cross words example corrupted, aeternum , the lost.
Mini games: - fast button inputs and dual inputs, holding inputs, shooting targets, - obstacle race ,chase , stall , item search , tapping correct button inputs:

Heart Rune ability:
-
These are more showcase of the ability for heart runes:
-
the animation are varied as new world can design or choose to use the different animations
-
effects are listed to what each heart rune effect would be
-
some heart runes to use would be to tap G for normal execution,
while some of the heart runes the player would hold G. holding would increase its range slightly but it would be slower to use. example tap G frame rate speed 4 hold G frame rate speed 8 -
while some heart runes would be Dps type Others would be Tank and Healer type
-
healer type runes would be supportive, Dps would be damage dealing, Tank would be buffs and debuffs.
example of healer type heart runes:
ultimate heal:
- this rune ability would self heal and all allies within the distance of the player
https://youtu.be/Iwn_tT7Cthc?t=7
revival of clarity:
- this rune would revive a downed ally. that’s at deaths door
https://youtu.be/l1GNVKnfiJQ?t=8
example of tank type heart runes :
cleansing dispel:
- This heart rune would remove all buffs from the opposing player
Also remove all debuffs from the player that uses it. if the player had example burn status effect,bleed, acid, blight, corruption etc these would all be cleansed
https://youtu.be/ABsoLz-RX6U?t=19
2 lives:
- This heart rune would give all allies within in 1 meter, 1 life, this buff will last for 5 minutes ( then wear off ) when the player or his allies’ health goes to zero
they would not die but if they get hit with any attack the 2nd time they would die.
https://youtu.be/PqIcFTAr3ZM?t=211
homing wave:
-
This heart rune would summon floating projectiles, should enemy units come at a certain distance example enemy unit 2 meters away, these would activate.
-
the downside of this heart rune is, it wont be activated manually but automatically.
and reliant upon enemy units coming in close ranges.
https://youtu.be/raIDvxPOYQc?t=2
example of Dps heart runes:
Tornado crash:
- this rune would damage all enemies close to the player and inflict them with a debuff
https://youtu.be/j6EpYJW7LWg?t=6
column of destruction
- this rune would damage all enemies within its aoe
https://youtu.be/150oKJH8g60?t=48
https://youtu.be/eYkbLQuuvDQ?t=20
splinter of piercing:
- close range melee attack
https://youtu.be/4BMhU8bxizw?t=16
holding G
- extends its range
https://youtu.be/bWZX_lkJZkk?t=100
Blast of Calamity
( player can hold G to extend its range but it would be slower to execute the move )
-
This ability fires massive energy towards the target inflicting them with a debuff.
-
for new world the animation doesnt have to summon a staff, the blast can come from the character’s hand.
example:

new quest type for new world: stealth mission examples:
- stealth mission defeat: defeat 20 enemy combatants without having stealth compromised, if the player’s stealth is compromised they lose the mission. The enemy units can vary in design and abilities.
players can use the map designs to increase their stealth - i.e shooting light sources to make shadows.
- Luring enemy units with sound effects of bells,
- Putting enemy units to sleep or stunning them for 6 seconds
- players would need to remove the body of incapacitated enemy units as their stealth could be compromised by other enemy units. ( How stealth mission gameplay is designed )
- Enemy units can vary in health, certain enemy units would have too high health and defense, the player would not be able to neutralize them. ( increase difficulty of mission types )
- Adding trophies and medals, achievements ( make these mission types fun ) can include being awarded if the player didnt lose the mission, zero retries etc.
- some stealth missions can vary by making it that player’s cannot destroy enemy units only neutralize them for short duration. (The player would have new load outs for these mission types)
- stealth mission hack: hack and download data from the machine devices, without triggering lazers,land mines ( other unique devices that would make these mission types fun) should the player fail to hack / if their stealth is compromised they would lose the mission. enemy units can stop the hacking. The enemy units in the control room can deploy different machinery to destroy the player i.e robot hounds, robot salamander etc.
example the robot salamander can let out a roar that compromises the player’s stealth for 5 seconds, while the robot hound can increase the hack duration from 3 minute to 5 minute.
( different machine monsters have different effects) To stop the monster effects the player would need to defeat them.
