New Boots

[kyoko]

Maybe in future versions, if we ever get to including equipment slots, we should work in boots. The boots would increase movement speed, and I think it should only increase movement speed.

Boots in other games that increase armor are stupid.

Of course, you'll have the store-bought ones that increase in the single digit percentages, then you'll have rare boots that increase 10-*% movement speed.

Not sure what to do about the picture situation, of if things like boots/shoes should even have pictures.

A very high five!!

XD! I was thinking about that when I was playing Baldur's Gate the other day. "Damn do I wish I had Boots of Speed on Quest!"

I second this idea!

I think this idea is good but its weird that no1 has said something before... i also believe they should make a shield slot but hey thats just me where u have a chance to block the opponenets attack depending on your dexterity and maximum chance to block would be like 75%

personally i think not... therse too many games with huge amounts of everything, Quest is simple. maybe it could be a skill.... the more you walk the more movement exp you get, the faster you go... i dont know, but i dont want boots (bare feet are the way to go, just ask ceceila the shoeless)

I want some Blessed Seven League Boots. But that could just be because I played ADOM too much back in the day.

Anyway, Jon. Adding a skill that involves experience and recording every single step and adding it to a certain value and then determining whether that's enough to level...Are you trying to lag the dial-up players out entirely? I mean...the battle bar is bad enough that I can't play for anything but chatting...now you want me to never be able to walk again?!?!? Shame!

* Azmodon thwacks Jon with a newspaper

Bad Jon! Bad!

But anyway. A new skill isn't going to make Quest an "Simpler" than a new armor slot. The way I see it, it might make it less so. 13-ish skills plus another makes 14 skills you have to worry about. A fourth item slot that isn't even entirely necessary though...

Oh, and besides. Since the skill system is supposedly getting reworked anyway, Shiris wouldn't let any indefinite walking formula through without some serious testing, which basically means we'd never see it. Ever. Not that we'd see a new item slot, but hey...

[Jon_Deciple]

oh... dialup.... does that still exist? i thought it was somthing the adults threatoned when we did somthing bad..."do this  or were getting rid of highspeed and getting dialup."  "56k?"  "NO 25k... now eat your vegtables"

i retract my statment about counting steps... bad idea.

[Azmodon]

Sorry Jon. Some of us live out in the boondocks. Hicks don't believe in high speed. It saddens me.

[kyoko]

I don't understand how that would complicate things at all... The boots would obviously be optional, seeing as how the only thing they would do is make you move faster.

i third kyoko's idea just how she said it nothing further
