Dream Wars [VX MMO]

• Dungeons - not really like WoW, but more like Guild Wars; each dungeon has varying amounts of levels; each level has a puzzle you must complete before you move on; the last level nests the boss, and once you kill him, a chest spawns and each party member can open it once and receives items.
  
  
• Party System - invite people to team up, share loot, raid dungeons, etc.; this is the typical set up as any other mmo may have; also while in a party, loot will be shared differently, instead of it going to whoever deals the most damage, it will be distributed randomly (and evenly) to people in the party.
  
  
• Skills - no more just running into battle and hitting a button repeatedly to win the fight; you must actually use your skills to be able to deal enough damage to win; each player will have a set number of skills they can use, once the player is in a town, he can learn new skills from a skill trainer, and then place them onto his skill bar to use during battle; you can not change skills outside of towns.
  
  
• Combat - the typical mmo set up, with a twist; there will be no healers, everyone has to heal themselves, each class will have their own healing spells, and support spells; you can use your support spells to help other teammates to give them the edge in the battle; there will still be tanks, they will soak up all the damage, and use their skills to taunt the enemies and keep them aggroed on them; the typical caster classes - mage, necromancer, and some sort of health degen caster [working on name].; and of course an archer, the archer specializes in spreading conditions which weaken the enemies, making it easier to kill enemies.
  
  
• Loot - not all items will be the same, this feature will be closer to Diablo 2, with my own twists of course; first priority of looting items goes to whoever dealt the most damage to a monster (please note that while in a party, loot is distributed differently); each item that's dropped will have a range of its armor rating; so say a Leather Robe drops, it may have an armor rating that varies between 5-7, 5 being weak, and 7 being perfect for that type of armor; with that in mind, there will be unique types of items that you must identify to see its qualities, these qualities are special buffs that the item has; each item has 3 stages of rarity, the lowest being the base armor with a plain white name and no special qualities, next up being uncommon, which is shown as a light blue and has few qualities, and the highest tier being rare, these are shown in a gold color and have many qualities; on occasion, items will be dropped from chests and bosses that are shown as green, these items are called unique, they are the items the boss uses, and will follow the same guidelines as the other item rarities.
  
  
• Epic Equipment - the game will feature some epic endgame armor for you to achieve once you reach that stage of the game; but even before that, you will find some lower level armor and weapons that have some of the features that the high end ones do; some of the features may include glowing and animations on the equipment.
  
  
• Production Skills - not only will there be combat, but there will be skills such as mining and fishing to provide a more relaxed atmosphere and give players a chance to do something else besides combat.
  
  
• Unique Deaths - ironically, I want death to be an experience in itself; when you die, you will enter a near death state, you have a couple skills based on your class that you can use; while in the near death state, anyone can resurrect you; but after a set amount of time passes, or enough damage has been done to you, you will enter the dead state; once you enter the dead state, you are sent to a dream, you must either wait until someone attempts to resurrect you with a special item, or find the dream keeper and talk to him and choose to respawn at the nearest safe zone.
  
  
• The list stops here, but don't think that's the end of it, because the above features are what's going to be released in the original release; there is much more planned for updates after the original release. I hope to have this game running for a long time with constant updates, and get a dependable development team. This is my career, game development, so I want to start as early as possible and get a team together, and get to know them like brothers so we can work together without a problem. This is a project I will not give up, it will get done, and the finished product will be well worth the trouble, I am sure of it.
  

• Warrior - the typical mmo warrior, a strong and defensive unit, the tank, and the first one to run into battle; warriors are given skills that add armor and skills that deal extra damage.
  
  
• Sorcerer - the general caster, versed in the arts of water, air, earth, and fire; has some single target spells, and some area of effect spells; the area of affect spells affect a range of tiles, depending on which spell it is; these units are very strong, and very vulnerable to attacks.
  
  
• Assassin - in this game, assassins are the 'archers'; they are versed in the arts of using daggers, and bows, and can use both very proficiently; the main role of an assassin is to spread conditions and deal massive amounts of damage very quickly; these units are very strong, but at the same time they are weak to attacks.
  
  
• Necromancer - the necromancer has the ability to summon minions to fight for their master, minions must come from a dead body; they also have the ability to cast spells that hamper the enemy, such as causing damage on an enemy whenever it attacks; these units are very weak, but make up for it by having a meat shield of minions in front of them.

I also suggest you don't focus on just two or three animes. There are many, many different animes out there, don't stick with just the popular ones.
