Had a round on Basil and man does it take forever to summon the big bad Justicar. Like, a ridiculously long time that I got ahelps asking if something was bugged. Maybe knock off a minute or two?

How hard would it be to make Ratvar a bit like Nar'sie and be able to spawn knock-off Harvesters? Cause at the minute the big guy is just... There. It was underwhelming for most of deadchat to watch until it got spiced up with a God fight.

Love the God fight stuff though, that shit's hot.

Yeah, it is intended to take five minutes but it would seem that BYOND is making it take longer. I'll change it down a bit.

I intend to add Reclaimers - clockwork harvesters. Ratvar converts nearby harvesters into reclaimers, and Nar-Sie converts nearby reclaimers into harvesters. They'll have similar abilities and exist for a similar purpose.

Are you asking if he converts them into reclaimers? Nope, standard followers remain in the form they were om already, and valid targets are are simply converted to servants; reclaimers can only be made out of existing harvesters.

I finally got a chance to look through the clockwork slab. The menu is a nightmare. You really need to find someone to help you do the UI because the learning curve will just be too steep as is (or people will ignore 90% of the options and use stun prods+conversion to get around it)

The one time I tried to do UI that wasn't just text, none of the branches on my local repo worked and I had to redownload the entire source code. The only advice I can offer you right now is to simply try to adjust to it and hope that someone who knows how to do UI gives it to the slab.

Re: Ratvar, the Clockwork Justiciar

Post by InsaneHyena » #185101

After playing two (or was it three) rounds of Ratvar and being the most effective, robust and humble cultist it all three, I have following criticisms and notes:

1) My tactic was always as following. Disable the comms (since Ratvar has a unique for conversion modes slow conversion without any obvious way to prevent their victims from screaming "AI, HELP, TOXINS"). Stun my victim with a stunprod to provide the initial stun. Immediately after equip the visor and do Ratvar area stun - since it only can stun if your target is immobile to beging with, otherwise it's only useful as an area denial tool. Ratvar stun is just long enough for me to navigate all the slab's menus and invoke guvax. The only ability I've ever used that is NOT guvax or visor were ratvarian positronics, because they're a simple, familiar and very effective tool.
2) Like Kor said, the slab is a fucking nightmare to navigate. I have to get through two or three submenus to invoke any incantation and then find the one I need. It's easy if the only hostiles around have been stunned by the method above, but in any other case incantations in combat are plain impossible. And don't say - but Hyena, cult has the very same problem, and you jerk off to cult. Well, no. First - all of cult's magic are either runes or talismans, all of which are intended to be created BEFORE the battle. Some of Ratvar's magic, meanwhile, is clearly intended for combat uses.
3) I'll probably get used to it in near future, but the names for many abilities are very unintuitive. What does this thing do? What does this thing do? I don't know - the only way to find out is to open a gigantic subfolder "How to play Ratvar" which has it's first 9000 symbols dedicated to Ratvar lore and read the description of an ability in question. And then read it again and again in future, because you can't remember what each of thirty oddly named Ratvar spells does. Compare talisman of stunning and juidical visor. Or, say, talisman of teleportation and obelisk of... Something.

Overall, however, I had fun. It's certainly better than the Hand of God and gangs. Sorry if the post was too negative.

My first suggestion would be moving Ratvar's radio from the slab to cultist HUD, just like bloodcult is functioning right now, because it will simplify the mode (and it's not a fucking bad thing). One of the main reasons for suggesting it is this - in the current code, when you convert a poor schmuck as bloodcult, a tome immediately spawns. In theory, it will allow the new convert to run off and help the cult. In practice, it will allow him to draw pretty runes on the White Ship and be generally useless, but that's not the point. Even before, when the tome didn't spawn, making a new tome for your converts was as easy as drawing a rune and clicking on it. Ratvar, meanwhile, requires you to expend resources on this shit - resources you might not even have. While I won't dispute this specific design choice, there were multiple cases when I simply couldn't affort to give my converts new slabs - so I've sent them off with promises to give them their shit later. Cue to us never meeting again, all the while they can't even communicate with their allies to demand a fucking slab.

tl; dr - Ratvar's radio should be made telepathy instead of talking through the slab.

I think the slow-down chant (I can never remember the names of the chants) is better off as a fragile structure that breaks in one or two laser shots. It'd be better off as an area-of-denial base defense structure in all honesty.

Here's a couple balance concerns I have.

1)Drones can be converted, a all access vent crawling ghost role can become a antag
2)The portal to ratvar has too much health, it should be lowered some.
3)People get cucked really easily by the ratvar no access doors, I know they could probably just rcd it down but it's really stressful to be stuck.
4) It's substantially easier to convert people in clockwork cult so much so that it can quickly explode like revolution, this is more noticeable on meta.

Slightly related but unrelated

5) The white shit is fucking cancer and needs to either be unusable by cults or have it's docking ability removed. Having cults spends 30 minutes looking for this is getting real old real fast.

Drones really should not be able to gain a faction or be convertable. That said, I will ghostban any drone that "lets" themself be converted unless you can have can prove that you had no choice in the matter.

After playing another round of Ratvar and being the star of the show again, naturally, I've had a sudden and horrifying realization of just how insanely broken this mode would be if secborgs still existed.

I appreciate the detailed and cohesive feedback. Thank you for your thoughtful explanation of how I can improve the gamemode.
I'm an ex-coder for /tg/. I made the original versions of clockcult, shadowlings, revenants, His Grace, and other stuff.
I don't play, code, or participate in the community, but I occasionally post dumb stuff in the hut.

Maybe you should make a third OC cult god that beats up ratvar, that'll show him.

cuz it's reskinned cult but blinged out with brass, if you examine rat'var it talks about how he's YOUR LORD AND MASTER SUPER ULTRA STRONGO SUPREMO in BIG BRASS LETTERS and he fights Nar-sie and wins all the time. It's fucking cheesier than my foreskin after fucking the dairy queen.

Actually the outcome for the fight's winner is based on how many cult members each god has, their odds of winning increased by 2% for every cult member.

maybe some people should actually bother looking into things before complaining.............

except ratvar always has more cultists because no one wants to be a fart-sie cultist

furthermore having two groups of antags with Licenses to Valid and an objective to kill each other is fucking stupid. Gang rounds inevitably devolve into trash, why do we need gang rounds with magic.

First - cult and clockcult can't even exist on the same station without adminfuckery, at least for now. Second - Ratvar wins, because admins only spawn(ed) Nar'Sie in Ratvar rounds to look at the flashy god battles. Also, there was a bug in the code that converted harvesters to Ratvar, which is fixed now. Stop talking out of your ass, please.

admin fuckery happens every clockcult round and you haven't addressed my point that ratvar is a fucking reskin and a symptom of the antagonist bloat we currently have affecting our codebase. Look at the fucking antag list. There's almost more antag types than there are job roles. Instead of wholesale creating "new" round types that are basically an excuse to show off some fancy sprites why don't the coders try making the stuff we already have more fun and give them more content?

But, no, you will plug beeswax into your ears like Odysseus's crew and scream "NO! STOP DISLIKING WHAT I LIKE!"

Say what you want about OC memepunk :donut2: steel, but the whole thing was based on a design doc and string of failed PRs that originally came from /vg/ and the two cults are dramatically different in gameplay. I'd say that blood cult and clock cult are only really alike in that they're conversion gamemodes that use a certain item for their power and have an end goal of summoning their god.

Now then! Can we get this back on topic, or do we need to lock another thread because people can't act more mature then preteens?

I hope that "steel" wasn't talking to me since I actually like the idea of Ratvar as a game mode.

So long as its done well that is...

Nah, I was referring to the trope of "do not steal" among bad OC and pronounced it 'donut steel".

From what I have observed it needs to be "slimmed down"

Make it so easy a idiot can do it. One of the better things that has happened with "cult of narsie" rounds is that the book now provides everything that a cultist needs.

Work on balance as well.

It looks fine as a good stable foundation to build something great off of.

Think of it as CK 2 vanilla (without the dlc). It was a good game, but it needed a lot of re-work and now that its been reworked a million times its a even better game.
