Hey Guys,
This is some more stuff about the Whole New World stuff, continuing off from the Rune Knights Mount...Pretty much this time it's about the Mechanics Mounts...
(Designs and Functions are subject to change)YEAH IT'S A MECHA...
This time Gravity has developed the same kinda thing I worked on before with the ride on mechas for mounts but it's of more of skill/function for the Mechanics to use and make, they're actually arranging IF the class should allow development Mechas for all player classes. But as it stands only Mechanics and control these beastly beasts. The Heads can be changeable here and there for diffrent looks to match your likings (however that function might take along time to actually complete so there's only 1-2 default for now). The base head works as a Skull for the endoskeleton, while I'll explain in abit later, it can be upgraded.
The system works pretty easily considering it's only changing your class sprite and head sprite, and then adding the list of mech skills...you'll be locked from using a lot of normal summoning skills etc. so be caution these are pretty much melee type fighting machines so far, but they'll have options to equip new head PARTS like you do with head gears...weapons and junk will also increase your type of skills and battle mode. Hey maybe someday they'll give them missiles to shoot out!
How Does a Mechanic Build and Ride a Mech?:
Very simple, accuire the skills from your quest. Collect the materials and bam, now you've learned the ablitly to create a Mech armor. Next you'll need to be able to Equip it. Thats another Quest Skill where your going to be taught how to ride it and what it limits you from it. After that the rest is history.
It's sad tho. a long time ago the GM's (and possible players) were suppose to be able to ride in mech like things too, but it seems like gravity didn't want to deal with a Capcom Law suit with it ALMOST looking like Baby Commando from "Captain Commando". Take a look for yourself:
Yes the sprite even blew out steam from the pipes...
::sighs::So much effort to be put to waste...
Till then guys, Later!
