Project Offset

1
Project Offset

• A whole different approach to opening a whole new
  style of gamming

2
Over all features

• Instead of a 16 v 16 normal FPS multiplayer game.
  It now becomes a MMORPG (like WoW) FPS
• Key factors of this new change are. . .
• Ranking up to 100 (like leveling)
• A vast environment (think FarCry 2 times 10) and
  a lot of dungeons
• Guilds
• Karma
• Stats
• Professions
• Create your own castle / city / armor / weapon /
  home
• Create a unique but similar combat system to Dark
  Messiah, make it feel as if you were there
  slashing at the enemy

Ranking

• As a player you will Rank up and as you rank up
  you unlock new types of weapons and armor as well
  as gear
• Ranking is effected by karma
• A higher ranking player is usually a guilds King
  (so a rank 100 Orc Black Terror, is probably a
  Evil Orc guilds king )
• Ranking also effects your guild

4
Guilds

• Lets Break this down into several sections
• First, Guilds are NOT effected by race, There can
  be a pure Orc guild and a Pure Human guild. There
  can be a Orc, Human, Elf guild too.
• Second, although the guild is not effected by
  race, all members of one guild (this is where you
  need to find similar members for the charter)
  need to be on the same karma side. You cant have
  a un-holy/holy guild, Either or.
• Third, A guild can have treaties, truces, allies,
  and a lot more other things I cant think of right
  now with other guilds of the same KARMA base.
  Which means on a scale from 100 to -100 if you
  have a guild that is -25 you can ally with a
  guild that is 10 but you CANT ally with a guild
  that is 100.
• A guild can indeed build its own castle, Where
  ever it pleases and elect their own king. A Guild
  can also build siege camps, raid camps, travel
  camps, towns, and sanctuaries (churches, or
  altars)
• All cities and what not will fill with npcs of
  that guilds type (so a orc / human evil guild,
  their town would fill with orcs and humans that
  are evil)
• A General of the guild (or the guild former) is
  the only player whom may choose where the castle
  goes.
• Any thing build by the guilds general (once
  placed) is not instantly built, in fact it
  doesnt even seem as if it placed. Where the
  general points and says to build is where the
  castle will be built, quests givers of thats
  guilds make up will ride up next to the king
  player and provide all players of the guild and
  undguilded players quests to help build the
  desired structure. I estimate about 20 60
  players will pick up these quests and begin to
  work, The quests will go something on the line of
  you need to bring 5000 stone blocks to this
  location, and that wont be just YOU it will be as
  in Your guild and non guildies. Once all the
  materials are brought to the location ( after
  being refined at a setup quarry and lumber yard
  and what not ) than all players will get a large
  boost of gold and exp, but thats not all. After
  this quest is complete another quest will pop up
  requiring you ( as in your guild and non guildies
  ) need to construct the castle, a NPC will be
  summoned ( via coming from far away on a mount )
  to the location to point out where everything
  goes. Once the whol castle is completed, the
  castle will be vacant for some days. It will
  slowly start to be occupied as you either A.
  Build villages or B. Enslave villages.
• A guild can also place a relic ( aka shrine ) in
  their keep that can give all players in and out
  of the castle benefits. Relics are claimed
  through either A. Dungeons B. Buying them threw
  a church or altar C. Stealing them from another
  guild.
• INCOME! Guilds Income effect how fancy the
  castles and town halls would look, as well as
  what the kink can get his knights and his army.

5
Guild Ranks

• Kings Political leader, The only leader that
  can buy banners, buy Armor that would be buyable
  to the whole army, as well as weapons, and can
  talk to other kings about treaties and what not.
• Knights Close generals of the king, controls a
  lot of underlings and can

6
Structures

• Castles
• Castles are the focal point of the guilds
  military and the place where the King player
  usually stays.
• The king player can venture out and fight, but
  has political duties to uphold in the keep
  itself.
• Castles also serve as fortresses for near by
  towns that are under siege from another guild
• Castles ( once in the guild that owns it ) also
  serve as a new starting place for players whom
  which to start a new character of the same karma
  as that guild.
• Has very little quests for beginners, a lot of
  quests for players R60 and above.
• Has a large income boost
• Towns
• Focal point of merchants and crafts ( this is
  where you learn any and all professions )
• Has inns for players that are not allowed yet
  into the castle (R30 below) and stables for pets
  / mounts
• Has a lot of quests for beginners and not so much
  quests for players R55 and above
• Has a medium income boost
• Camps
• Three types of Camps which each serve a purpose.
• A Normal camp Used as a place of rest and also
  ( if the quest says so ) a place to turn in
  quests via a messenger bird
• B Raider camp Used as a place of rest and
  readiness for a raid on a church, town, castle,
  or another camp (good for using when going into a
  large scale battle)
• C Siege Camp The only camp where you can not
  rest in, Is used specifically for constructing
  siege weapons. Siege weapons will require
  resources, so make sure to bring them along with
  you.
• Churches / Altars
• Used as a place of rebirth if one dies out in the
  environment

Karma

• Karma is effected by what you do threw out the
  game
• If you do good things in quests like helping an
  old man out of a well, than you get good (holy)
  karma
• If you kill the old man instead you get evil
  (demonic) karma
• Now there arent two factions (good and evil)
  factions are based on guilds and the mock up of
  people in each guild
• Karma also effects what you can wear (a Dark Orc
  Pounder cant wear a Holy Orcs helmet for he is
  to evil to touch the item)

8
Stats

• Stats effect everything, just like karma does.
  Instead of affecting what you can wear and what
  guild you join though, stats effect what you can
  wear, what spells you can use, how fast you are,
  how muscular or fat you look, how tall or large
  you are.
• As you grow in rank the system will look at your
  stats and determine a class name for you, thus
  your making your own class.
• Example, lets say there's a new orc. Standard
  stats of a R1 would be, 10 Strength 5 Agility 1
  Intellect 13 Stamina. Thats a pretty standard
  build for an orc. Lets say this orc grows to rank
  50 and all he's ever spent when he ranked up on
  was strength and stamina, which means he's been
  getting stronger and taller. Instead of an Orc
  Pounder or Orc Smasher the system would transfer
  the characters class and race name to Ogre, for
  he is becoming a giant siege weapon basically (
  dont believe that he cant do anything else
  though, cause although he's kind of slow he can
  still do dungeons and what not, just like a
  normal player.)

Professions

• Professions arent set as in Theres only 6
  professions. There will be hundreds of
  professions, but you are still limited to how
  many you can get, because each profession will
  take time to master.
• At the start of a profession you will need to
  look for a master of that profession ( at the
  start will be a NPC at the NPC castle, but as you
  progress there might be an NPC in your guilds
  town or castle that is a master because of one of
  the guildies is a master ) you will than become
  an apprentice of the master and will be given
  quests to do certain things like
• A lumber man apprentice would go out and cut down
  one tree and bring it back to the master, it
  would of course have a time limit.
