[Campaign] Tales of Silventria Mechanics Thread

[Colonel Aster]

ye, that's what we need to do, come up with more good idea for spells, especially ultimates

 

[Lord Siler]

Rem's gonna hate you for saying that...

 

[ArchDuke]

I send Siler a list, hope it helps you with ability creating

 

[Lord Siler]

@Colonel Aster what exactly do we do with the Haldan character? I can make him a couple of good abilities, but what type of hero did Blake say he wants him to be ?

 

[Colonel Aster]

similar to rasler, different abilities, etc. actually I think Blake wanted to work on it himself

 

[Lord Siler]

Ok then, let me know if there is any character you'd like me to create otherwise I will focus on lore and certain abilities

 

[Colonel Aster]

will do

 

[Lord Siler]

Update

Spoiler

Basically Lord Haldan is Rasler's buddy who is also a traitor but who gets possessed while conducting excavation at the newly discovered crystal quarry, so when you go there you have to fight him and then the orange dreadlord that possessed him, dreadlords don't really exist in silventria so this thing will be renamed to "soul reaver", also story wise we still lots of things to do

 

[Rem]

Major spoilers for story

Spoiler

The rebel's goals, or rather their leader's goals are to free a specific spirit who has been sealed with a mountain. The rebel's leader, believes this spirit to be a benevolent being who will help them win the war as well as rid of the world of various injustices like corruption, etc. however not everything goes according to plan, many of the rebels are defeated, and the mages at Rhivenhall perform various summoning rituals which not only summon demons to their aid but also awake something very powerful that's been sleeping for thousands of years...as the high summoner gets closer to his goal, will the allies be able to stop the spirit from being unleashed?

 

[Lord Siler]

....spoil the whole story, why dont you ?

 

[Rem]

Sorry

but spoilers make things more interesting, besides it really doesn't spoil any of the big surprises does it ?

 

[Lord Siler]

spoilers:

1) rebel's goal
2) ramification of Rhivenhall

 

[Rem]

2 things, think it will bring more interest than damage, besides we're still in process of making this, stuff could be changed, other things may be added, etc.

 

[Razorfang]

i would like to advise u guys to make that shell thing an item ability, just have it reduce magic and spells by1/2 and forget the rest, that way it can be a rare item you get for completing epic quests

 

[Lord Siler]

@Razorfang I don't know if that would be possible without a few complications, I'm just a novice modder you see, I can get certain things accomplished and develop certain abilities, but I can't do everything or fix every single problem, infact Blake is a hell of a lot better than me at certain things

 

[Razorfang]

atleast try to make it

 

[Lord Siler]

Oh I already have, with a bit of Blake's help

Edea's cloak is what we're calling it

 

[Razorfang]

But that whole concept has so much more potential, just think about it, you could make some units really overpowered with complex passive ultimate,

someone mentioned combining critical strike, cleaving attack, and a vampiric aura like ability, that would be something

 

[Lord Siler]

Yea, but those abilities combined would be too op, plus give me one unit that looks like it has a wide range of attack with a sword, we need to come up with other ultimates that are relatively easy to make and that really shine in-game wise

Here's a pic of the current item achievement:

 

[Colonel Aster]

Is that with or w/o the spellbook ability @Lord Siler

 

[Colonel Aster]

Have you tried Aiden's suggestions ?

 

[Colonel Aster]

You know you can create an item which is a combination of a fake aura and the spiked shell ability that basically returns a certain % of melee damage back to the attacker, like thorns aura but localized

 

[Lord Siler]

I've deleted a few replies, I think we may be able to re-do certain abilities, some mechanics may unveil new potential...

 

[Razorfang]

So i just read the spoilers, and those mages (high councilors) awoke something while trying to summon demons in Rhivenhall?

 

[Lord Siler]

Oh yes they awoke something

 

[Razorfang]

So Rhivenhall will now have some sort of archdemon walking its halls?

 

[Lord Siler]

No

By performing certain (demon summoning) rituals they called out to something and awoke it, but that something isn't in Rhivenhall at all

 

[Razorfang]

Oh, now I see why that mission was so crucial to the story, so when do we get to meet this thing they summoned ?

 

[Lord Siler]

Oh, you'll meet it, you may not even realize that you've met it though

 

[Razorfang]

hmmmm interesting...

 

[Lord Siler]

Trust me the story gets intricate, I dont wanna spoil any of the interesting stuff for you, I can safely tell you that it wont be what you expect

 

[Razorfang]

Does it have anything to do with Peradale's shadow demons ?

 

[Lord Siler]

No, the shadow demons are just there so you'll have a formidable foe to fight, Blake made up some good lore, it was just hard laying it all out in sequence

 

[Lord Aiden]

nice u guys are finally getting some work done

 

[Lord Siler]

here is the progress so far
Main character's abilities: 65%
Master Yanes's abilities: 100%
Rem's abilities: 90%
Lady Keose's abilities: 100%
Lady Dioneve's abilities: 100%
High summoner's abilities: 95% (some additional triggers needed)
Peradale's abilties: 100%

Sorceress' abilities: 100%
Hunter's abilities: 100%
Summoned Champion's abilities: 100%
Lord Norn's abilities: 100%

But we still many minor and not so minor characters that we need to finish....

 

[Lord Aiden]

I thought Rem was finished ability wise

 

[Lord Siler]

She only has 3 abilities: Flare Rain, Mage Skills, and Arcane Aptitude

 

[ArchDuke]

why do u guys have a mechanics thread and a regular thread, isn't one thread enough for a campaign?

 

[Lord Siler]

This thread is basically all the stuff that makes up the campaign, in other words in contains way too many spoiler to be featured in the regular thread

 

[ArchDuke]

o...i see, well I'll try it out when u got some missions ready

 

[Lord Aiden]

mein fuhrer when is blake comming back?

 

[Lord Siler]

Idk actually he seemed busy, but I'm sure he'll come back quicker if we were to find out what pyf stands for

 

[Razorfang]

oh the great mystery of the hive ain't it @pyf

 

[Lord Aiden]

didn't someone mention that it was just jibberish?

 

[Lord Siler]

I was joking, anyway did you start doing the mountain terrain?

 

[Lord Aiden]

It's partially done, but it crashes sometimes, idk why

 

[Lord Siler]

Oh, here we go again.... was any particular spell cast when it crashed, or maybe your hero reached a particular point in the map? Interacted with one of the key enemies? anything?

 

[Lord Aiden]

nothing of the sort, it was at different times during the mission

 

[Razorfang]

pyf = pretty young fellow

 

[Lord Siler]

lol that bounty rep or whatever I said I was gonna give, I hope you realize I was just messing around
