Mage Revamp Lies. LIES.
Tiur
ProducerMember, Administrator, Immortal Posts: 571 admin
It's time for a teaser of the Mage Revamps! They're at a stage that I feel comfortable upping the hype... at least, upping the hype in an obtuse and silly way.
Skills work, in testing & messaging for everything. A few skills are still in the "HOW I MAKE WORK?!" phase, but that's only like 4.
Sciomancers:
Gravitation:(All new) - Skills work, in testing & messaging
Sciomancy: (About 50% new)
Sorcery: (Mostly old)
Ascendril:
Thaumaturgy: (All new)
Elemancy: (About 50% new)
Arcanism: (Mostly old)
Note, that's all coding. Abilities are all planned. Old things don't get factored in until I get around to copy pasting them, so the percents are tricky.
That's pretty disappointing information there. So.. here's some affliction teasers!
hypothermia: Take extra cold damage, cannot gain insulation defence, cannot cure shivering
magic_fire (temp name): Requires double mending to cure ablaze
trick_flame (temp name): Keeps track of ablaze stacks, so when you cure them, they start again from that number next time
Ascendril:
Very planning based. Abilities alter their effects based on previous abilities or current states of the target.
The return of the Air element! Earth remains solidly held by the Sorcerer Kings.
Sciomancer:
Very give/take based. Abilities gain more power by sacrificing more, powerful passives that lock out actives.
To heck with boring elements, they're for utility skills... ALL IN ON SHADOW
(All of this is lies. I reserve the right to change things in production. I will respond to the thread's questions and maybe chime in. Successful guesses of things will be confirmed! Unless I lie.)

@Vyxsis Fire is limb-routeish.
>.> Get it...cause our skills are G S S?...Plz be a lie
Looks good! I won't take a guess, I'll just let the hype train choo and choo
Hi.
Hi.
Likewise, will Sciomancers be given the track that, 'The other elements pale when faced with SHADOW' and that'll be their 'focus' for new members? A sort of, "We can channel the elements, but they all suck so we use them for minor things," mentality?
I think the Ascendril's method of doing these connections to planes will explain why they're not doing the Earth Plane. It is a weird place, anyway.
I think the Sciomancer mentality will be similar to that? More like... Shadow needs to be used, there -is- a balance.. and hey, those other elements were wussy anyway.

@Axius Yeah SSG reminds me Sar-Sargoth as well. And all the good times within MKO back then.
Regardless, I can already feel that...my singularity is growing...
And yes, @Aishia! Enchantment has to become Mercantile... which also means it is being changed up quite a bit to mix in with the other mercantile skills.
@Tekias Thank you for being excited. Excitement helps me keep the enthusiasm going, because sometimes the code mines are dreary.
Fulcrum Create and carefully tend a rift between planes. Collapse Release the magics that bind your fulcrum. Storage Hide your valuables from detection. Anchor Affix your fulcrum to a point in space. Push Move your fulcrum to another.By the way, will you keep the AoE passive themes (like in Crystalism making Mages first to go down as usual!) for any of those classes?
Hi.
are mages still going to be top dog of Killing Their Own Groups?
Hi.
Inducing a calamity will cause your fulcrum to erupt in a catastrophic explosion shortly after, dealing heavy damage to all present. You may cast this ability up to three times while the calamity forms, with each enhancing the resulting strength. If the calamity has been charged more than once, it will destroy your fulcrum entirely, preventing you from interacting with planar forces until it is reconstructed.
The type of damage your calamity will cause is based on its enriched element - if not specified, it will simply do magical damage.
