I think adding a skill system that can level up certain aspects of your character would be insane!
Things you could increase with Skill Points
- Player Inventory Weight Cap
- Player Stamina
- Building Costs
- Luck?
Weapon Aim
and so much more
Why this would be helpful?
I think this would be a great addition to allow players to be able to carry more wood back to their base so the builds can go crazy. also allowing for more immersive gameplay when it comes to online because veterans of the game will have a little more edge on others because they've been grinding since they've joined. Last but not least, it would give a sense of completion when maxing out a skill or finally leveling up enough to carry 50 construction wood instead of 36.
How could it be used?
Players could open a skill menu (UI) that displays all the skills, clicking on the skill would level it up, where right clicking it would open a second UI showing all the upgrades you get with specific levels.
Players would get skill points from doing normal things like chopping a tree down, looting a box, dismantling a counter, etc etc.
EDIT:
No PvP upgrades, purely player related like weight cap on inventory
