Sukiru (Skill) - A Redefinition of the Skill Experience in MMO's

[mordredeon]

You guys really know how to let me enjoy my polls, soon polls for my other suggestions will be up but I want to improve upon this as much as I can first. That being said, thank you Isis and @Leebz for your opinions, and @Isis I'm going to take that as a yes.

I voted yes. It makes sense. When you don't practice something, you lose skill in it. Though I don't believe that the skill experience should start to decay until a skill isn't used AT ALL in say, two weeks. If you use it once before the 14 day period is up, I think that the time before decay should be reset again.

Yes, I hope that will be implemented. This is being added to the main post!

Yes. On certain skills.

But I also think that you should learn them back fast. Like in a week of practice you would be like before, this considering that it took you like 2 months to reach your apogee.

I think this is a good idea, but I'm not sure everyone else will...

[jcryer]

I completely agree with what Kono said, maybe another poll? ^_^

[Leebz]

No.
If I decide to quit for a year and leave my character, I don't want to return to find I'm at Genin level when I left it at Jonin

It is only realistic.

Besides, if you stop playing the game, you yourself will get worse at it little by little. The whole point of having a leveling system that doesn't specifically show the number of your levels is for your character alone to be an accurate demonstration of your in-game skill itself. With that being said, as you the player stop playing and become worse, your in-game character should also become worse.

I could go back to WoW right now, on my level 90 and still be able to do raids the way I use to. Playing games is like riding a bike, you never forget.
If I worked years on my character and come back to it being no better than a noob, I wouldn't bother playing again. Why should I work my ass off for years,decide to take a long break and return to just redo all my work? I'd rather continue from where I left off.

The point of the game as that you're supposed to stay active. If your character in Naruto stopped training for 2 years, it wouldn't be as strong, so neither should your SLO character, as this isn't a typical MMORPG. Games which require active play to keep your ratings are successful often. For example, if you stop playing league of legends for a month your ranked points and ELO begin to decrease.

Only if you get to a certain rank, i think that once you reach jounin+ that's when your character should start losing his skill.

Wow! this is so cool! I especially like limits idea! wow!

I'm on board with loose "experience "
In specialty skills after jonin rank
Core skills -chakra control and stamina
(Witch I believe should be the basis for rank)
Should not be effected so you can get back to where you were faster.( And maintain your rank)

This is a good idea. I'm going to fall victim of this HARD. I am known for my random 2-month breaks from certain games.
