The meme that traitor rounds are any more fun or not stale than the others is dumb. They're just as repetitive, just in more ways. Bombing, dual esword murderbones, emagging everything, releasing singu, all common. Up close they're all different, but as you look further and further back the bigger pattern is revealed.Kor wrote:Maybe you feel it's getting stale because you've played over three thousand rounds. If you've gotten to the point that you're bored by "core" SS13 and only desire endless BYOND combat you should consider taking a break from the game.ShadowDimentio wrote:Seconded.

Color me interested.Xhuis wrote:Actually, I should mention. With the ability variety I'm trying to make, thralling will hopefully be entirely optional. A viable play style but not required, hopefully.
Rather than giving a set of abilities that complement "YOU THRALL AND YOU LIKE IT", I'm trying to give a lot of possibilities with more than one use, like changeling but with more fun ones. In changeling, you can go stealthy, or you can beat the hell out of everything with an armblade. I'm trying to expand that flexibility for umbrages; they'll have stuff for stealth, have stuff for loud, deception, mobility, and pretty much anything else. The key goal for umbrage isn't "enthrall" - it's "use Devour Will and drain people's lucidity". If you want to be really annoying and uncatchable but die in two hits from a laser gun, you can do that. If you want to specialize in taking out entire groups of people and dragging off one person screaming into the dark while the rest fumble with their lights, you can do that too. Or maybe you want to step into the light, walking straight into a mob of security with the pain of the light burn empowering you while you beat them down and resist a blast of taser shots. That works too.Dagdammit wrote:Color me interested.Xhuis wrote:Actually, I should mention. With the ability variety I'm trying to make, thralling will hopefully be entirely optional.

That's pretty good, I'll look into that.ShadowDimentio wrote:I had a power idea
Meld: The shadowling hides in the shadow of a random person on screen, completely unbeknownst to them. This ability allows the shadowling to travel through lit areas safely and stealthily. The ability only works when a target isn't in complete darkness however, and the only way to force a shadowling out of someone's shadow is to place them in total darkness.

For the abilities? I'm not making them myself, I'm not that skilled! I'm using edited versions of sprites from game-icons.net which is licensed under Creative Commons, so no worries about that. I think I did okay with the umbrage sprite though, which I did completely by myself. Attributions will be going in a .txt file or similar once I've wrapped up the mode.Armhulen wrote:those sprites are great, man

those are both kind of ridiculously powerful, especially when together. There's not a lot of counterplay to being invisibly attacked and killed, especially if you can just EMP Stun them afterwards, it's guaranteed GG NO RE. That's most of the reason ninjas are insanely powerful single antags.ShadowDimentio wrote:Got two new ones
Plane Sight (A pun on hiding in plain sight and void shenanigans): The shadowling chooses a target and for thirty seconds the shadowling is completely invisible to them.
Useful both offensively and defensively, but only in 1V1. Play smart!
Entropy: When activated normally, all lights are disabled in range for a short while same as the old shadowling power. If used while the [INHAND THINGY] is active, the shadowling will EMP and stun (or just deal a shitload of stamina damage, preferably a stun) on a melee hit on a creature. If the target is a APC then all lights connected to it will overload throwing revenant lightning before blowing them and will completely drain and turn off recharging for the APC.
Don't let the shadowling reach the APCs or else it'll give you a bad time and make it's life much easier.
Plane Sight only works on one person, so don't go into maint alone. Heck, don't go into maint at all unless you have very good gear and a pal, lest the shadowlings turbofuck you.Yakumo_Chen wrote:those are both kind of ridiculously powerful, especially when together.
