Overworld combat and weapons System design proposal

The other core part of this idea is creating illuvial weapons that you can make from illuvial ingredients and already existing materials to make cool looking and unique weapons. Such as a rhamphy/rhampyre bow, atlas gauntlets with a water blaster and so on.

While not concrete I think primarily taking advantage of the future inclusion of ethereal illuvials that aren’t capturable you could have them drop illuvial cores and other ingredients instead to be used to make and upgrade these weapons. Basically ala monster hunter. The other side could be to burn or more likely link/bond a illuvial to a weapon and transform it or something of the like. However this is just an idea based on my thoughts and hopes of roughly what the future systems might already look like.

One alternative if we don’t want to just have our illuvials roaming and fighting alongside us is to make the active/primary illuvial alter our suit and weapon, changing element, type and appearance and via the suit changing/adding abilities for our ranger to use kinda like spiderman or iron mans different suits they wear. It could be simpler color changing schemes at first with configurable skin options since I know suit skins are being developed and then eventually more noticeable physical changes to the suits and weapons especially which could be another way to implement illuvial weapons as well. Just a thought though.

Hey nitro, thanks for sharing this well thought out idea. I like the idea of having an illuvial fighting by your side. This would replace the drone i presume?

I would prefer to choose an illuvial instead of a drone but the drone makes a lot of sense with the chips, placing teleporters and the lore that we dont know yet.

It sounds fun but its surely a lot of work and i wonder how feasible it would be to pivot post launch with the lore and everything.

Btw @astral owl you should delete this post and post it in #1020759212172775464 . The gov channel is for posting actual proposal once youve got the 25 👍 in feedback. You would also get more visibility
