[Total Conversion] Under Siege

Actually, may I be able to give that Dictator BirdBot thing as an idea? It's quite the opposite of me.

[Orange juice :l]

Cold won't take your copyrighted ideas. It wasn't my idea, but I guess he's afraid of getting a C&D or somesuch.

Which is quite silly, seeing how we're infringing on Megaman and Doom already.

Anyway, anything actually being worked on? We have enough awesome ideas with no follow-through in this community.

Eigil is being coded by Coldfusion right now, going down the list, Jeus will be coded when Eigil is done, and Predator Unit after Jeus. We need spriters, though.

Like uh we really need people who can do good spriting. A smashing fellow already said something about this but whatever.

Suketoudara: oh by the way, random note
Suketoudara: I've been carving this fucking mountain for a week straight and I'm tired of Stone Man textures
Suketoudara: so yes, we've been doing work

Covert Quarry, Alphonse's "home stage", is near completion. The only things missing are the two bases, but after that we've got an actual map finished and ready to go (and not a straight line test map whooooo). Coldy's got a class base in the works and weapons done for Alphonse. Eigil's got weapons nearly done, but Coldy's still trying to decipher how to incorporate the Skill Mods. I've got basic weapon skeletons set up for Vanessa and Rock (who I haven't posted - FOR SHAME!) but I'm sort of waiting for Coldy to finalize the class base before I start screwing around with things.

So yeah, we've got things being worked on. Now stop asking.


EDIT: Zerokk is a ninja scrub who likes spamming the Gran Faust

Jeus will be coded when Eigil is done, and Predator Unit after Jeus.

You're... half-right. Coldy's going after Jeus next, but we're a bit iffy on what's after that. The list only indicates the order they came in, not their order of relevance.

also holy deep-fried asscheeks spriters would be the best thing in the world right about now

I can help I guess or whatever

Let's see how this goes, here you go OP class, wooooooooooo!!!

Selenne Castelle – The British Dimensional Master
(Ranged, Special, Stealth, Caster, Disabler, Hunter)

Appearance:
WIP – Will post drawing later maybe.

Passive: Haste of Conjuror
– Increases movement speed by 15% while being attacked, dissipates after 3 seconds if not attacked.

Weapon: Wish of the Ancestors – Staff
An ancient relic forged by the gods. It allows Selenne to be able to shoot a magic charge shot called Energy Beat. It can fly a short distance before dissipating.

Skills:
Dimensional Shift: Thanks to her staff, Selenne is able to open dimensional gates that let her switch between dimensions. This art makes Selenne partially invisible allowing her to attack them from a different world.

Spiritual Maelstrom: Using her arcane glove, the Dimensional Master can create a disruption in the enemy soul spirit. Dashes into the target dealing moderate damage. While in “Dimension Shift Mode” this skill has increased damage and it has a chance to inflict the Weighted, Slowed or Snared (lower chance on this one, increases with level) status effect.

Blazing Field: Using her ability to manipulate spirits and creatures from other dimensions, Selenne calls forth fire spirits to aid her in battle. Creates a field of fire that inflict the Poisoned (Burnt would be better) effect in an area of effect it has a 6 seconds afterburn. It requires channeling for 5 seconds. If used while in “Dimensional Shift Mode”, the channeling time is reduced and has a chance to inflict random status effects (Slowed, Snared, Jammed, Weighted, Weakened) at the cost of less damage over time.

Skill Mods:
Magical Pogo Stick "I bet Quint is jealous...": One of the ancient relics of fun! It increases the range of Energy Beat and gives Selenne increased jump height.

Gauntlets of the Necromancer: The legendary gauntlets of Corvus. Slightly increases the chance to inflict the status effects of “Spiritual Maelstrom”.

Rune Eye "You gotta duel me on a motorcycle!!": A magic rune mark of the Norse gods. Increases the movement speed granted by the passive by 5%.

Cursed Symbol <Ultimate Mod>:  The ultimate weapon of a Dimension Master, fear as the seal breaks. It allows the use of Blazing Field and each rank improves the skill.

“… you better put your glasses on because this will be a badass and hot show.”

Rank 1: Apotropaic Road “Spin, spin, sp-- Wait I am not a doll!” - Allows Blazing Field to inflict the Distracted and Vulnerable effect.
Rank 2: Cataclysm “Man, do I love my powers.” – Reduces the channeling time by 1 second.
Rank 3: BURN TO THE GROUND! – Increases the damage over time.

Eh, I may missed some stuff I fixed but eh, I will edit it if needed.

[Ceridran]

I'm cancelling Guardian Unit, he did not feel well made.

Anyway, I created this character today. Have a look.

Make sure your bodies are ready for the incredible redundancy. .. Probably.

Sharahin
(Melee, Special, Caster, Pusher)

Appearance

In the art thread. Click this.

Passive - Poison Mastery

Attacking a poisoned target deals bonus damage.

Weapon - Bite

A normal biting attack. Deals low-medium damage.

Skill 1 - Venom Shot

Sharahin channels for 1.5 seconds, then spits out a venomous ball, which, of course, poisons targets that get hit.
This deals low damage and goes through enemies.

Skill 2 - Spin

Sharahin quickly spins, dealing damage in an AOE and poisons targets that get hit. Deals medium damage.

Skill 3 - Inject

When activated, lasting one second, Bite will poison the target, and deals extra damage.

Skill Mods

Stamina - Sharahin's attack speed is buffed by 10/20/30% after using Spin, lasting 2 seconds.

Limber -  Sharahin's movespeed is buffed by 10/20/30% after using Spin, lasting 2 seconds.

Fatal Bite - Inject's duration is increased to 2/3/4 seconds.

Jungle Beast <Ultimate Mod> - Venom Shot marks targets who are hit by it, this mark lasts 5 seconds on the target. When Sharahin deals damage through Bite or Spin on a marked target, he restores 20% of his missing HP, limited at a cap.

Rank 1 - Sharahin's poison deals a percentage of bonus damage based on how much HP his target has. Less HP, more damage. Shaharin also deals extra damage to minions, monsters, and players.

Rank 2 - Spin has increased AOE.

Rank 3 - Biting with Inject active buffs movespeed by 15% for 2 seconds.. Biting again resets the timer back to 2 seconds.

[xColdxFusionx]

I'm not sure people are understanding how the Ultimate Mod is supposed to work.

The Ultimate Mod is supposed to be fairly similar to the other mods; it buffs up one particular area of the character. This can be one particular aspect of a skill (like Maria's) or various addons to it (like Alphonse's or Jeus's), but it's always based around a certain skill or attack in some way.

Sorry if I didn't make this clear in my first few posts. Classes that were submitted before this announcement will have their ultimate mods tweaked to fit this style, if possible.

[Ceridran]

He's been edited, and I also pulled an Equalizer-Escape Plan. I can put the two back together, but I don't have many options. I want to avoid adding in slows, stuns, silences, etc, to Sharahin.

I'm sure Predator Unit's ultimate mod is fine, so no need to worry about that.

[xColdxFusionx]

...Not sure you understood what I meant regarding the ultimate mod.
Let me try a different approach: showing a mod that I've already come up with a possible tweak for.

Old Mod:

(click to show/hide)

> True Terror - <Ultimate Mod> - Predator Unit is applied with advanced technology to highly enchance his performance. Stealth Module is unlocked, upgrading True Terror adds bonus effects to itself.

Rank 1 - Artificial Fluid - Razor Claws and Deadly Strike deal extra damage.
Rank 2 - Fury - Predator Unit's attacks drain some of his foe's life and converts it into power. Hitting an enemy increases Predator Unit's movement speed by 15%.
Rank 3 - Fade - Predator Unit's full invisibility wait time is reduced by half.

New Mod:

(click to show/hide)

> True Terror - <Ultimate Mod> - Predator Unit is applied with advanced technology to highly enchance his performance.

Rank 1 - Reflective Coating - Unlocks Stealth Module. Using an attack breaks the Stealth and deals greatly increased damage (Deadly Strike) or attack speed (Razor Claws).
Rank 2 - Fury - Hitting someone with an Ambush Attack grants bonus movement speed and health regeneration.
Rank 3 - Fade - Predator Unit's full invisibility wait time is reduced by half. We could probably also throw in a Cooldown reduction for more Ambush Attack shenanigans, actually; idk.

[Ceridran]

I like this change. The original Rank 1 really set an imbalance in power on Predator Unit.
Seeing as it's already linked via main post, I'l edit the "confirmed predator unit" post, adding this in.

Thanks!

Claw Droid Application Take 2, Commence.

(click to show/hide)

Claw Droid
(Melee, Physical, Speedster, Lockdown, Disabler)
(Is it okay to have more than 4 tags?)

Appearance
A grey robot with a sphere head and humanoid figure. Its armour parts are coloured red and green. It wears a helmet resembling a stylish hat. Its body armour is light and it has foot armour that resembles sandals. It has no fingers but has three daggers on each hand serving as claws and the arms are a bit thick. It also has glowing purple eyes and no mouth.

Passive – Intimidation
If Claw Droid gets hit, the enemy who hit it last will start to realise who they were messing with... They get scared, losing their aim(Disorient), mobility(Slow) and their ability to jump(Weight). They do overcome it after some time, returing to normal. However, enemies that hit Claw Droid with a melee get scared longer because they just came close to a deadly android. An enemy that overcame their fears before will not get scared again.

Weapon – Droid Cutter
Claw Droid slashes enemies with the daggers on its hands. They deal medium-weak damage but the rate of fire is moderate.

Skill – Claw Sling
Claw Droid fires the daggers on its hands. They deal low damage. Claw Droid does not need to retrieve the daggers because the claws regrow. They also have slow Rate of Fire.

Skill – Claw Torch
Claw Droid will place down a dagger with a special flammable ball on it. When stepped on, it will break. However, ally shots(elements that can start fires logically) will ignite the ball, but the dagger will never burn away. The flame will damage enemies that step on it. Ally shots that are wind/induce knockback will blow the dagger. If the dagger is on fire when that happens, it will leave a flame wherever it hits, even midair. Otherwise, it will be like a Claw Sling projectile. The flames deals low but continuous damage.

Skill – Netting Device
Claw Droid places down a special item on the ground. After a second, the item turns to a wall consisting of 2 poles and a wire net shaped like a spider web in the middle. It blocks enemies but their projectiles can damage the net. When damaged enough, the net breaks and the wall is destroyed. Besides that, only 4 nets can be erect at a time(for each player that is). Enemies will not try to destroy the net on purpose, but they can see through it.

Skill Mods
Endurance – Claw Droid gets a slight boost on its armour toughness.(Armour is normally weak to balance its abilities)
Extra Claws – Claw Droid stores more daggers(attack still unlimited), allowing it to throw more when using Claw Sling. First rank fires 5, second fires 7 and third fires 8. The daggers travel in compass directions.
Taser Web – The Netting Device gets upgraded with electromagnetic spark wires. Enemies that go near the net will get damage and Stun. The net is also more durable.
Bladed Rebel <Ultimate Mod> – The Droid Cutter gets 3 upgrades, making it more versatile...
> Rank 1 – Energy Claws – The Droid Cutter now produces a mid-ranged slash-shaped energy beam. It also slashes faster.
> Rank 2 – Loot Spills – The Droid Cutter can now cut open enemy possessions, producing loot for every damage it deals with Droid Cutter. The loot from killing enemies remains normal.
> Rank 3 – Droid Shredder – The final upgrade to the Droid Cutter. It gets sharpened to a deadly edge. It now deals(a lot?) more damage and one more thing; enemy machines finished off by this lethal weapon will be sliced up to bits of scrap metal that can be blown as projectiles by ally shots or collected if possible.

Just a few notes regarding my changes:

(click to show/hide)

*I rearranged some Skill Mods because of the little note and added a new one too.
*I replaced the bomb skill. Honestly, I did not put the attacks together, except the Net.
*About Claw Droid's similarity to Predator Unit, I am very aware they both use similar attack styles.
*I hopefully fixed Claw Droid's 'one-man-army' concept by adding some features that require teamwork to be used efficiently.
*If characters were limited to 4 tags(which they may not be due to a class that got accepted but has more than 4 tags), I'd say remove Disabler.
*Despite having 3 skills, I added Melee and Physical because Droid Cutter seems versatile in my head.

Also, here's a question regarding the mode when it comes out:
When a player dies, do they lose or keep all their upgrades upon respawn?

[xColdxFusionx]

Claw Droid Application Take 2, Commence.

+ I like the idea of abilities that play off of your teammates' actions as well as your own. Gotta make the game more interesting for everyone involved, right?
* Though his ability set is different, he still seems thematically similar to Predator Unit. Are you sure you can't think of different "flavor" for his stuff?
* Claw Torch and Droid Shredder are rather oddly specific in their requirements. I'd make it so the torches ignite automatically and shooting them with anything will push them, and Droid Shredder's dis-assembly effect should be cosmetic.
- Intimidate seems ridiculously powerful for a passive ability, especially with the Disorient involved.

Also, here's a question regarding the mode when it comes out:
When a player dies, do they lose or keep all their upgrades upon respawn?

Players will keep all upgrades upon respawning, as well as all of their experience, Shards, and held money. Consumables, however, will be lost.

Drameda Anderson, the Trap Master
(Melee, Hybrid, Sniper, Lockdown)

Appearance
Dude in a cloak and hood with metal claws. Scary red eyes optional

Passive – Trap Mastery
Drameda has devoted a majority of his life to mastering the art of trap making, and this has granted him the ability to know exactly what can stop an organism's motor controls. Because of this, Drameda is immune to snares and stuns, but is instead slowed for the same duration.

Weapon 1 - Iron Fists
....Unfortunately, in his many, many years of practice and refining his art, he's lost two too many hands and had to engineer himself some metal claws to replace them. The attack itself is just a simple melee with metal claws.

Skill: Meat Grinder
Drameda's personal favorite trap, the Meat Grinder is lobbed forwards and sets up where it lands. When it lands, it sprouts out into whirling blades that attacks in a radius every time Drameda fires a weapon. Meat Grinders disappear when Drameda dies.

Skill: Ankle Biter
A tried and true method of capturing anything, the Ankle Biter is a bear trap designed specifically for pyschopathic chicks-with-whips and other similarily deadly foes. The trap is lobbed forwards and sets up when it lands. After being set up, enemies who step on it are damaged, silenced, and snared for an amount of time.

Ultimate Skill: Newton's Nuisance
More of a mad scientist's invention than a trap, the Newton's Nuisance is a machine that occasionally pulls people in towards its center. It's possible to destroy it, but it has a large amount of health and it resists damage from skills.

Skill Mods
Grind Tech Grinders – Meat Grinders activate twice every time Drameda attacks. Also, the damage dealt by Meat Grinders is increased every time the mod is ranked up.
Chibi Chompers – Ankle Biters will throw out smaller traps when cast in the air. The smaller traps deal the same amount of damage, but only have a third of the condition duration. The duration of the ground casted version is increased with each rank.
Refined Metal – Iron Fists gets a damage increase.
THE BEES <Ultimate Mod> - Drameda's decided that enough is enough. He's brought one of his greatest creations, the Newton's Nuisance, to screw with gravity and physics.
> Rank 1: Grounded – Enemies pulled in are afflicted with Weight.
> Rank 2: Overheat – When Newton's Nuisance is destroyed, it explodes dealing small damage to enemies around it.
> Rank 3: Scorpion's Sting – The time in between pulls is decreased.
