This post showcases game mechanics and attack type for a new world, incorporating these would add complexity to the combat and make it a top-tier PVP game.
How the New changes will add to Pvp positively
During Pvp when a solo player is versing multiple opposing players they use block very often.
Versing multiple players the solo player gets stamina broken easily.
With a stamina recovery, the player would be able to draw out slightly longer against multiple players.
Changes to blocking In New World:
During Block In New world:
-
There can be 2 percent stamina regen when blocking at the same recovery of drinking water
-
more perks can be designed to do with blocking, 4 percent stamina regen when blocking etc
Slow Stamina Regen while blocking:
with the new stamina regen when blocking, these are more addtions to combat in new world:
different things the player can do on an opponent that blocks:
- (1) Player would attack repeatedly to break the opposing players block
( Their heavy attacks would do more damage than their light attacks )
.
- (2) The player can grab the opposing player to go through their block
( the grab would not be a skill but part of new world combat design, and the grab can be used anytime, by all weapon types)
Grab attacks to go through block
The grab doesnt break the players block, it bypasses it completely to damage the opposing players health, to dodge this type of attack, the opposing player would roll out of its range or use counter. This would be a good addition to new world for players that block a lot.
Example:
grit Grab ( heavy grab ) and Non grit Grab ( light grab )
The grab will have grit and non grit variations.
the non grit , the user can be staggered when using the attack.
The grit variation this grab is slower but the user cant be staggered when
using the grab attack.
example of grab attack:
Light and Heavy grab:
-
In New world the grab will have light grab this would have no grit, however this grab will be more faster
-
The heavy grab will have grit, however this grab will be slower
-
For the player to use the light grab they would press the button, to use the heavy grab they would hold the button.
-
all weapon types would be able to use grab
( players can choose the different grab types, and when a player is using the grab they will be invulnerable, other players / monsters cant damage them )
player using grab, the grab can be used when opponent blocks as well:
///////////////////////////////////////////
- (3) Push attacks light and heavy, the heavy push attack can break a block with 1 hit
New type of attack to push players and break their block with 1 hit:
Push Attack To Cause Guard Break
This attack doesn’t do any HP damage, but
-
it pushes opposing players,
-
and breaks their block. ( when they are blocking )
The Heavy Push Attack does
more damage to the stamina of the opposing player that’s blocking.
than the light push attack
Push attack showcase light and heavy:
-
Light push attack would push the opposing player 300 mm backwards
-
Heavy push attack would push the opposing player 600 mm backwards
-
the opposing player thats blocking can roll out of the attack’s range or use counter
to negate the push attack -
all weapon types would be able to use push attack
-
Player using rings to boost push attack’s stamina damage.
( in new world these can be perks and accessories )
Player pushes Opposing Player Off Tower with push attack:
How push attack is different than light and heavy attack:
- The push attack pushes the opposing player, if they were by the edge of a mountain they would fall backwards
Grab and Push attack:
- these attacks would not work on larger than humanoid-sized monsters
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Different type of blocking and stamina recovery:
Tap blocking In Absolver: the player lets go off block before they are hit by light attack or heavy attack, to regain stamina, the player presses block ( instead of holding block) when the opponent’s attack is about to connect each time.
Tap blocking example:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Plunging attack feature for New world
plunging attack damage multiple players:
plunging attack defeats player with 1 hit: ( melee weapon )
example fire staff plunging attack:
the fire staff players plunging attack would activate a fire circle when their staff
makes contact with the ground: damaging multiple players that touch the flames
fire staff plunging attack: effect burn damage to all enemies that touch the fire circle
void gauntlet plunging attack:
the void gauntlet players plunging attack would summon a dark void orb from the ground, when the void gauntlet player leaps off the edge and damage all players inside of it.
void gauntlet plunging attack: effect take health from enemies and give hp and mp back to the user
ice gauntlet plunging attack:
the ice gauntlet players plunging attack would summon ice spikes from the ground, when the ice gauntlet player leaps off the edge, it would damage all players inside of its spikes.
ice gauntlet plunging attack: effect slow all enemies that it damages
Life staff plunging attack:
the life staff plunging attack would cause a green smokey mist to be summoned When the life staff player leaps off the edge and damage all players within its smoke
Life staff plunging attack: effect Inflicting damage to other players would buff the users own healing effects for 10 seconds.
-
Plunging attack is an aerial critical attack that deals 80 percent damage can defeat a player with 1 hit if their health isnt high enough.
-
the condition to use a plunging attack is when the player is on a higher elevation or platform
example stairway, box of crates, on fort walls, on a rock, and the opposing player is on a lower platform. -
player can only use a plunging attack when falling from higher platforms
( plunging attacks are not like jumping attacks or aerial attacks as those can be used anytime when the player jumps) -
plunging attacks cant be countered
-
the plunging attack can damage all players that the weapon makes contact with
( a player would be able to defeat multiple players during wars and outpost rush ) -
Melee weapon and Gauntlet, Staff Weapons would have different plunging attack animations and plunging attack effects unique to their weapon
-
all weapon types would be able to use plunging attack
During wars and outpost rush battles take place on different elevations high and low, adding in a plunging attack would be a positive to new world.
