[Campaign] Tales of Silventria Mechanics Thread

[San]

 

[Colonel Aster]

Yea, I can't stay depressed all day like you do, san

 

[ArchDuke]

...and this turns from a thread about Tales of Selventria into a thread about how you guys angered Shar Dundred...

 

[Razorfang]

thing about arkain was i liked the first book, then i was sold when i seen the intro to the second one. Sometime later I actually played the second book and was severly dissapointed, it not only was not what i expected, the missions felt rushed, unfinished, unpolished, and overally just not well constructed, the story is interesting, but thats about all it is for me, plus that whole thing with gardon becomming king and wanting to rule the whole contiennent just seems something like out of game of thrones or some other tv melodrama or whatever you call it

 

[Colonel Aster]

What happened man, I thought you liked the series?

 

[Razorfang]

What happened man, I thought you liked the series?

i was a casual fan, but then i played the bulk of book 2. but hey to each his own, some may hate it while others may love it

 

[Lord Aiden]

you stopped being a fan because he nerfed the greywolf huh?

 

[Razorfang]

@Lord Aiden it had nothing to do with him nerfing anything, just read my response again, pay some attention this time

 

[Lord Aiden]

Then why all the bitching about how Greywolves got nerfed in chat?

 

[Lord Aiden]

Woa, I was just replaying WOS book 3, and Prince David (or azn David, or whatever you wanna call him) from the siege of Redmont missions seriously reminds me of King Tidus

 

[Lord Siler]

Prince David indeed

 

[Razorfang]

Then why all the bitching about how Greywolves got nerfed in chat?

got drunk, that was it

 

[Lord Aiden]

lol, you and your drinking, you gotta stop with it

 

[Lord Siler]

Ye, drinking is no good, I'm glad I stopped it when I did, I suggest you do the same Razorfang

 

[Lord Aiden]

Before I forget, here's a list of titles you wanted
the vicious
the merciless
the vile
the guardian
the seeker
the pure
the keeper
the twisted
the tainted
the butcher
the skilled
the initiated

 

[Lord Siler]

Thanks man, ye, those will definitely be of great use to us

 

[Lord Aiden]

np, always glad to help a fellow crusader, lol

 

[Lord Siler]

Aiden since when are you a crusader?

You avatar looks more like an angel or an apostle than a crusader

 

[Lord Aiden]

Well you know what I mean, btw can you guess who that is in my avatar

 

[Lord Siler]

lol and nope, but I can reverse search it on google and find out

 

[Lord Aiden]

lol, so your not up for some fun I see

 

[Lord Siler]

Just not now, how was halloween btw?

 

[Lord Aiden]

I'll tell you about the fun times later, all I can tell you now is that is was fun

 

[Lord Siler]

lol

 

[Lord Aiden]

so tell me something, although its still in the concept phase

Spoiler

the entity that the high summoner unsealed or releases or whatever, what exactly is it and do you guys have in mind

 

[Lord Siler]

Spoiler

it's some sort of high order spirit, very powerful but not a god or anything, but basically someone who attains an even greater power destroys that entity,

that's all I can say without giving away enormous spoilers

 

[Lord Siler]

What did you want those special units called?

 

[Lord Aiden]

???

 

[Lord Siler]

Those Milrein elites or however you call them

 

[Lord Aiden]

Oh, the name me & Razorfang came up for them was " Milrazer "

idk if you or Blake will like it, but yea

 

[Lord Siler]

Interesting name

 

[Razorfang]

ye, you know how some nations have their own names for their special military forces, like spetznaz, seals, Kadyrovites, etc. well what if Milrein had such a unit of their own very loyal and elite special forces?

 

[Lord Aiden]

Ye that's the idea there

 

[Lord Siler]

A very good one, I'm sure Blake would applaud this if he was here

 

[Lord Aiden]

+rep

 

[Lord Siler]

Thanks

So let me guess, this one has demolish or a second attack which is siege based right?

 

[Razorfang]

naw actually, just critical strike and resistant armor, a powerful attack, lots of hp, maybe something more

 

[Lord Siler]

Didn't you guys have a special ability in mind? THat's how all the elite soldiers are supposed to be in this campaign, each one has its own unique ability

Zephyr - Magical Resistance
Duskblade - lifesteal
Captain - true sight + spells
??? - Spell Shield

but all these units are gonna get is critical strike and resistant skin?

 

[Razorfang]

we're working on that

 

[Lord Aiden]

Maybe a special critical strike that effects nonheroes 50% of the time, or maybe like a huge evasion rate

 

[Lord Siler]

a huge evasion would make them invincible what happened to that flare ability?

 

[Razorfang]

problem with the flare ability is that it gets disabled if silence is cast on the unit, which wont make any sense because things like bash and critical strike dont get disabled by silence

 

[Lord Siler]

Oh I see, well what's the solution then? maybe give them a battle frenzy ability or something? Modified berzerk? Bash? something more creative?

 

[Lord Aiden]

we're working on it, maybe that strong critical strike idea

also is there a passive that can decrease an enemy's attack?

 

[Lord Siler]

Not that I know of, but why don't you guys try editing some passives to make something new

 

[Lord Aiden]

One thing we had in mind, (actually this was came out of something Rem mentioned about an item dark arrow ability)

we can modify this dark arrow abilty such that instead of summoning a unit it summons a dummy that casts some sort of spell that enhances attack power or speed or something similar

so you would have an ability called someting like "battlerage"
the description would be that whenever a Milrazer kills a unit he begins goes through battlerage, an ability that allows him to have a stronger attack, attack faster, or whatever it is that you make it

 

[Lord Siler]

Sounds good

 

[ArchDuke]

so where are those demo maps you guys have been working on?

 

[Lord Aiden]

Contact either Blake or Colonel Aster if you wanna play the betas, but I believe they have a crash issue if you play with the latest patches

 

[ArchDuke]

will do
