Hey guys,
So I've been dicking around with Runeblade for a while now, and I've come up with a couple short suggestions that I think plenty of you guys could agree with.
So, if I could have anything at all added to the class, it would be a /runestatus command (or something of the sort). Currently, it can be very difficult to remember which runes you have applied (especially for those with awful short term memory), whether or not you forgot to apply the runes in the first place, or etc. In it's current state, Runeblades rely on chat in order to see what runes they have active, but the problem with this is in order to do so at any point in time directly after you've applied your runes, you'll need to scroll through the chat logs. This can sometimes be arduous and unintuitive, and simply not an option for those who don't have the option to view their chat logs. The simple fact that runeblades need to hunt down their rune messages in order to determine which runes they have applied is something that's simply not needed.
So, having said that, I propose the aforementioned /runestatus, or a command of the sort, that simply repeats the message of "Imbued Runes: <runes> ( This message -http://puu.sh/5cCcQ.png-).
Alright, that out of the way, this would be the second, more controversial change that I would like to propose.
Option One
While a Runeblade is sneaking and imbuing his runes, have the public chat message say [Someone imbues their blade with a Rune of <rune>]
-or-
Option Two
Change the public chat messages, regardless of whether or not someone is sneaking, to say [Someone imbues their blade with a Rune of <rune>]. (I would prefer this change).
The background behind these ideas is simple: Runeblades are stealthy, so why not add a little bit more subtlety to the class? I understand that a gimmick of Runeblade is that when you apply these runes, it makes a loud, scary sound, and I'd personally like it to stay that way. The thing is though... Say you're walking around, minding your own business, when all of a sudden you hear someone applying runes. Now, the big question here is "How do you immediately know who is applying said runes?" It could be your friendly neighborhood Runeblade, or it could be that asshole that keeps killing your townies. Ultimately, this idea would be a great addition that would add to the stealthy nature of the Runeblade, whilst not taking away their gimmick or throwing them out of balance.
As always, let me know what you guys think.
Thank you,
