weapon balance suggestion

[aquaphire]

starting thread for weapon balancing ideas, most just need increased length or effect

Timestopper: freezes multiplier for a duration

( i thought about a persistent slowed multiplier effect throughout the rest of the duel/match but wouldn't really account for people that can already move that fast)

Dreameater: +5 multiplier + each match will turn 1 of the opponents blocks into stone (maybe @ max level)

Strategist: prolonged to permanent effect throughout duration of duel/match ( 2 multiplier max )

Snake daemon: steals 1 multiplier every 5 insta-pops

RARE ITEMS

Weapons could be attained through mine, event, scores maybe even length of character ownership

Armor Obsidian chain mail: reduces damage of attack in duels maybe even % to deflect orb attack

Wand of Agamato: allows players to temporarily delay ghost moves 3-5 secs

Stygian bone Knife: players have ability to steal resources from ghosts and therefore the players they belong to

Shield of Kings: Honor gained is increased %

Miners Helm: rusty miner helmet offers increased foresight allowing players to drag blocks up and back down 3-4 lines maybe



anyway just some ideas i threw out there tell me what you think[/size]

Orb attack response during duel Getting an orb attack during a duel puts points onto a counter. Orb attacks by the ghost only cause stone bricks if your counter goes negative.

Timestopper Same effect but also adds about 5-10 seconds to the clock time - or pauses the timer for 5-10 seconds

Dreameater gets you x4 per block AND the timer does not run down (or runs more slowly) while the gravity field is up



I really like the idea of items doing things. I miss the old items even though they didn't really do anything useful... Also, I like the idea of a store to buy items. After my blueprints have all been completed, and before the arena which was more fun than mining, I have 7,000,000 spare crystals Even if they don't do much or anything it would still be neat.

I miss the old toad.. in Beta the original toad Daemon created a timestopper when the opposing ghost launched a mana orb.. loved that.
Not so sure I would change any of the weapons, but the ability to continue maxing them out past 8/8 with some of the suggested additional features would be cool.

I still think Time Stopper should freeze the multiplier, and the clock, regardless of juggling, or chaining.

As it is right now, it doesn't stop time, but rather, slows it down, and that is counter-intuitive.

Timestopper is so under appreciated. Would be a fan of the multiplier hang..
and/or would also be nice to work the TS into another or existing Daemon (as before) with the orbs; e.g. a Mana launched by ghost or you stops time.
