Thief Skills

[Kypen]

So the title is a bit misleading but here are some thoughts:
Pickpocketing
Lockpicking and locks for doors and chests
Disguising using materials and whatnot as another player/identity (you just appear as someone else, obviously there'd be limitations)
An item that lets you record numbers (think debit card but for like nation use such as point/reward system, kinda hard to explain)
Treasure chests and ruins in the wild that you can explore
Field bosses that spawn out of nowhere and the whole server gets notified and can participate
Monsters drop gems

These might go beyond the server's goal of "vanilla", but then again, they're just ideas.

Here's my take on this all:
Pickpocketing: could be cool, though it would really just add further incentive for players to  harass, camp. etc npc towns (if your in the wild or another's town you'd just kill them)

lockpicking: this is such an abuseable thing imo we can't have this, this'd just lead to a bunch of cleanout raids which is really bad

disguises: could be neat

treasure chests/ruins: this has been discussed and could be a cool thing down the line

"field bosses":used to be a thing at one point... it glitched out and sent a dragon to the purelake (long story) could be a thing down the line though some balancing would be required

We always love suggestions like this! Definitely helps the developers get some creative juices flowing, and it allows us to implement stuff that YOU GUYS want!

I'm interested to hear more about some of these ideas, but we might have plans for the last three!

I think these are great suggestions and I would mention something further for the purpose of development.

No one is saying this needs to be a pvp system. There is a Thieves questline that exists, there could be PVE thief skills such as lockpicking or pickpocketing where you can use them on NPCs, or on specific houses/banks/stalls.

There are also already some things that have a cooldown in the game, on the note of PVP it could be done in a way that there is a week cooldown on using it on players.

It could also require a certain level of ability before it unlocked to be used on players, which would mean few people could do that and it would have to be earned.

In any case I think this is a brilliant idea Kypen! [url=https://forums.mc-atlas.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=496][/url]
