Clockcult Patch #21179

ghost · 2016-10-25T00:28:35Z

🆑 Xhuis
add: Added sound effects and tweaked messages for being ice-cubed by freon gas.
add: Added the Stunning Flare scripture, which allows Ratvar's servants to conjure a blinding flare that stuns and mutes in a melee attack. It is a Driver that costs 2 belligerent eyes.
add: Replaced Sentinel's Compromise with Sentinel's Endowment, which heals 60 brute and burn damage over 1 minute.
add: The clockwork slab now has a built-in personality.
tweak: Redid clockwork slab buttons. An actual interface is coming soon(tm).
tweak: Judicial Visor is now a Script and has had its component requirements changed accordingly.
tweak: Edited some descriptions and messages for clockcult scripture and items.
tweak: Completely rewrote Recollection to be less wordy and more of an actual guide.
tweak: Clockwork helmets and gauntlets are less protective against melee attacks.
/:cl:

New sound effects can be found here: freezing and breaking out
Numerical values:

Stunning Flare stuns for 10 seconds and silences for 5; the same as a stun talisman. Additionally, the victim is confused for 15 seconds
- Nar-Sie's cultists will be confused for 30 seconds, cultslur for 15 seconds, and take 15 fire damage.
Clockwork helmet and gauntlet brute protection reduced to 50 (down from 80). Chestplate remains unaffected.

WIP; more to come. Feel free to discuss what's already here.

A: You're going to conflict forever
B: as much as clockcult has issues I really, really don't like giving them what is basically a stunpaper

this is multiple lines LONGER than it was before

I'm aware, but it's also more informative. I feel like, in the long run, it'll help more.

I'm not sure why you're nerfing the melee armor of this, given the laser weakness it has...

I feel like the small laser weakness isn't enough to offput it. You only take 3 more damage per laser from this, and the other protections it offers are insane compared to that. Either I could increase the laser damage taken or reduce the brute protection. That, or something else, if you have a better idea than I do.

Increase the laser weakness, maybe, but reducing the melee armor makes the armor way less useful.

I'm not really sure why you're changing this

I was told the other one was too edgy.

This isn't edgy, the standard desc is!

I always thought that it was just your mind trying to comprehend the fact that a literal god is in front of you. I'll update them both.

I'd like to note that this is much, much weaker than the Compromise, given that it's 1/second for two damage types.

That's partially the intention. Like a lot of Ratvar's scripture, this was very situational but beat every other option in that situation. I felt that a HoT was, although weaker overall, more useful in more situations; for instance, you could pre-HoT before a fight, get someone out of critical condition, or just recover from being shocked.

I don't think 'situational but super goddamn good in that situation' is bad, though the interface complicates this somewhat.

Just change the below check to if(!is_servant_of_ratvar(src) && !add_servant_of_ratvar(src))

Sure, I'll try that.

This desc is outdated, as it no longer requires a hand.

I'll replace that.

I'd kind of prefer if this used something similar to what the judicial visor uses, with a ranged ability and a cancel button, and delaying the scripture returning until they either use the flare, cancel, or become unable to use it

That's actually intentional 😉

ghost · 2016-10-25T00:46:32Z

Right, conflicts fixed. Responding to a few comments now.
_Edit:_ I don't want to give them free stuns either, but a lot of people tell me that accessible stuns is one of the mode's main problems, and I feel like the tried-and-true option is the best one.

ChangelingRain · 2016-10-25T00:54:14Z

The tried and true option is fucking horrible to deal with and this is actually worse, because there's no tell if you have it in your hand like a stunpaper, which is bright fucking red.

ghost · 2016-10-25T00:55:19Z

I wasn't entirely sure how it being tied to the slab should work. I suppose I could have your hand on fire, but I would much rather have a more elegant solution to the whole flare in general. Any ideas?

ChangelingRain · 2016-10-25T01:08:44Z

<Xhuis> No joke don't merge my PR, it's a wip

will oranges listen find out tomorrow

ghost · 2016-10-25T01:09:01Z

#21177 makes this too troublesome and conflicting to work on right now. I'll remake this once that's in.
