Runes brainstorming

[ragingspeedhorn]

Within the next couple of versions of Pirate Tag I am going to implement runes that spawn around the map which you can walk into and gain a positive effect from. To start out with I am going to be implementing 4 different runes, but I need ideas!

So far the only 2 runes that I am 100% putting in is:

-Speed Boost Rune
Gives the one that picks up the rune a temporary speed boost.

-AoE Stun Rune
Stuns everyone close to the one that picks up the rune.

So please come with any rune ideas you might have, the more the merrier. Start brainstorming!

Blink Rune
Blinks the person who picked up the rune forward a short distance.

Thanks for the suggestion, that might work, I'll think about it!

Well you could have the Speed Boost Rune, and a Slow Rune, but have the same model, and have them both named Speed Rune or something, so that when you go to pick up one of the two runes you have no idea of knowing which one you are picking up.

I'll quote myself from the other thread:

Speed bonus (must have :)),
Disguise (turns the land hugger into a pirate for short amount of time, but he isnt really caught, if the land hugger runs into a pirate while in disguise he gets caught),
Slow speed (negative powerup, slows you down),
Shield (you cant get caught for short amount of time),
Invisibility (you turn invisible, you can still get caught if you run into a pirate)

I think I will make it so there is just one rune and then pick a random effect with triggers so that you never know what you are going to get.

@Mini-Me - Thanks for reposting that, I totally forgot about it.

maybe you could have some kind of mega boost, that only appears once every game or round or something

a typical mega boost : Turns a random land hugger into a pirate(not you)

[ragingspeedhorn]

Hmm perhaps, I don't know though, seems kind of unfair to suddenly be transformed for no apparent reason, that would make me angry if it happened to me atleast.

Random Rune :p

A question mark, model, gives a random effect.

Shadow Rune
Turns the user invisible for a short time
Black Hole Rune
When used, a black hole appears on the user, absorbing anyone near him for a short duration

[PlRATE]

Makes your enemy walk to random points on the map for like 5 seconds.
I hope i helped....

Anyway, I 'lready posted some in a differnt thread, and I havnt got anymore since then..

[ragingspeedhorn]

Do re-post them, easier for me to browse through :)

And RedBlade how would that Black Hole Rune work? I don't quite get it, people get sucked in, but to what? And what happens to them?
