I think this is a very interesting idea, but perhaps not the entire skill system should be based on it. Firstly you will need some skills to start with and secondly there should be a basic skill tree, which you can aquire in a predictable way like buying or "quests" because some people could just be unlucky in learning skills the new way and could get frustrated. But maybe it would be possible to include this idea in a smaller scape, so that there are some elite skills for every profession which you can only learn by investing much time and training with lower non-elite-skills.


 * I agree 100% that players should start off with some basic skills just like they do now in GW1. I didn't mean to suggest that all skills must be learned in this manner.  All level 1 skills should be immediately available or learnable/buyable/rewarded from some source.  Also, my original suggestion was presented in a simplified way and mostly speaking to elite skill acquistion. However, I also envision this system applying to the natural progression of proficiency in any skill.  For example, instead of Life Siphon's power being based exclusively on a player's level or attribute points, it could be based also or instead on how much you've used it.  So at level 1, Basic Life Siphon may only cause -1 degen.  With more use, it levels up to Improved Life Siphon with a degen of -2.  With even more use, it levels up to Superior Life Siphon with a degen of -3, etc.  All the while, it is also contributing to learning a more advanced or elite skill such as Life Transfer.

I'm all for skills evolving, but not tihs much or it will force someone to play how they dont want to just to get a better skill later in the game.212.139.253.4 14:08, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
