Main menu chat was added for kongregate. A lobby would be nice tho

New Feature Requests / PvP Lobby in Main View

« Last post by Elemensch on April 14, 2024, 06:26:17 pm »

Instead of duplicating the Chat sidebar, the lower-left part of the main view should have a PvP Lobby list where people (e.g. @Septima Rhay ) can indicate availability for PvP.

- Only people who appear to be online at the time would appear in the list
- People in games (PvP or AI) would NOT appear on the list
- People who don't check the "Show In Lobby" would NOT appear either

This would mean a chatty member can't accidentally crowd out PvP propositions.

Under the names, there should be a Show In Lobby checkbox which indicate whether the viewer's name appears in the list when the viewer is available.

Odd to pilot. Feels slow, which makes me think more fire quanta to fuel nymphs, but the slowness also lends to wanting more healing to not get chipped away at after lock achieved

So, slimmed down to try have fire quanta balanced without thermal recoil & added more sanctuary

There it finally is. We (meaning asdw152, Hitei, pimpollo and myself, with some participation from serprex) started working on these new cards at the tail end of January.

We are not done, though. Now comes the tough part: testing. The cards will be available (soon? eventually? ask serprex) on testetg.dek.im for you to play with them. The cards will be rebalanced based on test feedback and, more importantly, only the cards that prove their worth will be included in the actual game.

Events / Re: Team Card Design: New Weapons

For a few months now, the weapons forge at the heart of the fire realms had been active. Day and night, the loud bangs of metal on metal were only interrupted by horrible screams.

Then all the noises stopped. To the locals, this sudden silence — while very welcome — was incredibly jarring and eerie.

Curious, worried, and sensing something big was about to happen, the locals gathered in front of the forge. They did not have to wait long before Ferro Golem, Lifesmith and Ironclad Blacksmith came out of the forge. The three of them together are carrying a very large wooden chest, taller than any of them and much wider than it is tall.

After carefully putting the chest down on the ground, they take a second to breathe. Then Ferro Golem starts yelling.

Ferro Golem — "Hear ye, hear ye! Gather around and bring your friends! We three have a big announcement to make! We — Ironclad Blacksmith, Lifesmith and myself — have worked day and night for months, spending all of our sweat and blood, to present you… these! These twelve new weapons of exceptional craftmanship!"

The golem points at the chest. A murmur emerges from among the crowd.

Ironclad Blacksmith — "We hope our works bring you satisfaction."

Lifesmith — "Stay until the end, there's some really cool stuff in there!"

Ferro Golem — "And we are going to show you these weapons right here, right now. Starting with… this one!"

Ferro Golem opened the chest and dug out a wand from it.

Ferro Golem — "This is a Magic Wand! You can do magic with it! I think?"

Spoiler for "Magic Wand (Entropy)":

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Oh, this is the wand I got at the booster pack shop. Buy ten get a free wand." (not an actual in-game promotion)

Ferro Golem — "Wait, really? So… does it actually do anything?"

Lifesmith — "Hey, hey, can I try it?"

Ferro Golem — "Eh, I guess its safe."

Ferro Golem handed Lifesmith the wand, which the smith promptly proceeded to wave around wildly. That seemed to do the trick, as Ferro Golem disappeared in a puff of smoke. The smoke dissipated shortly after, revealing a very confused rabbit where the golem was.

Lifesmith — "Oooh, what a cute rabbit! But where is Ferro?"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Ah, I figured something like this would happen. Lifey, can you show the next weapon? Meanwhile I will bring Ferro back. I am taking the wand and this rabbit with me."

Lifesmith — "Sure thing Clady. Hey, why don't we call the rabbit 'Fluffy'?"

The blacksmith did not answer, as it was already back into the forge.

Lifesmith — "Eh, no stress, we can figure it out later. Anyway, what weapon should I show you guys… Haha! This one's really cool!"

Like Ferro Golem before, Lifesmith dug onto the chest and took out not a wand this time, but what seemed like an axe made of bone.

Lifesmith — "Look at this amazing Skeleton Axe! Have you ever seen anything this cool? To tell you the truth, I made it myself with some bones I found lying around. But don't tell that to the other two!"

Spoiler for "Skeleton Axe (Death)":

Ferro Golem - "Dell us what, lifey?"

Ferro Golem and Ironclad Blacksmith had just come back, but now for some reason the golem had an extra hand for a nose.

Ferro Golem — "Oh, zo you showed zat agz? Great zinging, Lifey!"

Lifesmith — "Ferro, you are back! What happened to your face!?"

Ferro Golem — "Oh, zat? Id iz zdrange, but I zink I gan get uzed do id. An egzdra hand gould gome in handy, ha ha ha!"

Lifesmith — "Uh… "

Ferro Golem — "Now, do ze negzt weapon. How about dis one?"

Ferro Golem took out a scepter from the chest and brandished it with the face-hand.

Ferro Golem — "Ze Zeptder of Ruling!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Hold on Ferro, you should let me handle this one. We can barely understand what you say. I already called Surgeon, leave the weapons to us until we can get you fixed up."

Ferro Golem — "Oh. Zorry Glady, you are righd. I leabe id up do you zen."

A saddened golem handed the scepter over the blacksmith.

Ironclad Blacksmith — "This is the Scepter of Ruling. Like its name implies, it rules."

Spoiler for "Scepter of Ruling (Gravity)":

Lifesmith — "Oh, nice pun Clady!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Nice what? Oh, right, sorry. I meant to say 'it rules over creatures'. At one point we considered giving it as a gift to Her Majesty Nymph Queen."

Lifesmith — "Isn't it so cool that it can be used by anyone? Now that rules!"

Ironclad Blacksmith sighed.

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Hey Lifey, why don't you show the next weapon while we wait for Surgeon to arrive?"

Lifesmith — "Will do! Hmm, but there's this giant hammer in the way…"

Ferro Golem — "Oh, led me help wiz dat. Diz iz my proudezd greation."

Ironclad Blacksmith — "I will help as well."

All three artisans heaved together a huge hammer out of the chest, that looked it could barely fit in its container.

Lifesmith — "It's a giant hammer!"

Ferro Golem — "No, id iz a Great Maul!"

Spoiler for "Great Maul (Earth)":

Ferro Golem — "Look ad diz! Id iz zo dall you gan hide behind id!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Hold on Ferro, you should be careful with that."

Not heeding the blacksmith's warning, the golem stood behind the huge hammer with a no less huge grin. Then the hammer fell down on the golem's foot.

Ferro Golem — "OW! OW OW OW OW OW!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "I told you."

Lifesmith — "Woah! Are you okay Ferro?"

Ferro Golem — "Am nod! I dink my food iz broken!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Oh no. We need something to use as a splint."

Lifesmith — "Ahah! I have just the thing! Give me a second!"

Lifesmith once again searches the chest, this time pulling out a half-rotten piece of wood.

Ferro Golem — "Whad iz diz piece of shid?"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Lifey, are you serious? You want to use this as a splint?"

Lifesmith — "Trust me you two! This, as you say, is a very sturdy Infested Log I found the other day."

Spoiler for "Infested Log (Life)":

Ferro Golem — "Ged dad ding away from me!"

Lifesmith — "Woah! Hey, careful!"

Right as Ferro Golem grabbed the log to push it away, an angry scorpion came out from it and stung the golem.

Ferro Golem — "OW! ID SDUNG ME!"

Lifesmith — "Serves you right! You should be more careful with animals!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Looks like today is not your day, Ferro. Hang on, Surgeon should be here shortly. Try not to die of poisoning before then."

Surgeon — "Looks like I arrived at just the right time."

Surgeon had, indeed, just arrived.

Ferro Golem — "My zaviour!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Thank you for coming so fast Surgeon. Can you help Ferro?"

Surgeon — "Of course I can. I figured out the gist of the situation already. Give us some space, I will operate right here."

Ferro Golem — "Zank you Zurgeon. Glady, gan you show the negzd weapon? Agdually, don'd led Smidy near ze chezd anymore."

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Will do."

Lifesmith — "You two do whatever you want, I'm sulking."

Ironclad Blacksmith — "So the next weapon is going to be… OUCH!"

Ferro Golem — "Whad'z dad!? Anoder zgorpion?"

Surgeon — "Hush, don't move and don't speak."

Lifesmith — "No way that's another scorpion, all five should be in the log."

Ferro Golem — "FIBE!? AND YOU WANDED DO UZE DAD AZ A ZPLIND!?"

Surgeon — "I said HUSH!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "No, it's not a scorpion, I burned my hand on that: the Sun Blade."

Spoiler for "Sun Blade (Fire)":

Lifesmith — "What is it? It looks so cool!"

Ferro Golem — "So you aren't sulking anymore? That didn't last long."

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Ferro, you are back to normal. That was quick."

The golem was indeed back to normal. No more poison, no more broken foot, and no more hand instead of a nose.

Ferro Golem — "All thanks to Surgeon. Again, thanks a lot!"

Surgeon — "You are welcome. I will stay around in case you guys need me again."

Ferro Golem — "Much obliged!"

Lifesmith, looking at the ground in embarrassment, stepped closer to the golem.

Lifesmith — "Look, Ferro, I'm sorry. I was wrong to get angry at you, I should have warned you about the scorpions. It's not your fault that you got stung."

Ferro Golem — "You, you should have… no, you know what? I was wrong to get angry too. I was in pain and not thinking straight. You were trying to help me in your own way and I rejected your kindness."

Ironclad Blacksmith — "So touching. Why don't you two have a reconciliation hug while you are at it?"

Lifesmith — "That's a great idea! Let's?"

Ferro Golem — "Let's!"

And so they hugged. But not for long, as the surrounding crowd was growing impatient.

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Let us get back to the show. How about I show the next weapon as well? And it shall be… this one."

The blacksmith pulled a bunch of rope from the chest.

Lifesmith — "What is it? What is it?"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "It is the very Fishing Net I used to catch all the Salamanders that we ate these last few months."

Spoiler for "Fishing Net (Water)":

Ferro Golem — "All the Salamanders? You mean that is the reason why we got to eat Salamander stew every single day?"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Correct."

Ferro Golem — "Salamander stew for breakfast, Salamander stew for lunch, Salamander stew for dinner, I am so sick of Salamander stew."

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Look, at least we got to eat something. And we decided early not to let Lifey cook."

Lifesmith — "Hey, if you guys don't want to try my Malignant Cell tartar with sautéed Fungus, it's your loss. At least I'm not a picky eater, I enjoyed the Salamander stews."

Ferro Golem — "Yes Lifey, that is exactly the problem. You should be a pickier eater. But we digress again. I will show the next weapon, it hasn't been my turn in a while."

Lifesmith — "Sure Ferro, go for it!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "No objection from me."

Ferro Golem — "Here I go then! Next weapon is going to be… oh, there's another one of my favourites. Tada!"

Ferro Golem pulled out a long smooth stick from the chest.

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Oh. It's a stick. Would have been convenient when we needed a splint."

Ferro Golem — "It's not just any stick! It's a Bo Staff!"

Spoiler for "Bo Staff (Light)":

Lifesmith — "So Ferro, you called my cool log a 'piece of shid', but you get all excited over a regular stick without even a tiny spider in it? For shame Ferro, for shame!"

Ferro Golem — "Again, it' s not just a regular stick, it's a… "

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Stop it you two. You already made peace. Remember the reconciliation hug?"

Lifesmith — "You are right Clady. Sorry Ferro."

Ferro Golem — "It's all good. I know: why don't you show the next weapon, Lifey?"

Lifesmith — "Can I? Okay then, I know there's still some cool stuff in there. Like these!"

Lifesmith took a bunch of feathers out of the chest.

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Feathers?"

Ferro Golem — "These feathers do look nice, but aren't they just feathers Lifey?"

Lifesmith — "Not at all! These are feathers I risked my life getting from a very angry Gryphon! They are… Fierce Feathers!"

Spoiler for "Fierce Feathers (Air)":

Ferro Golem — "These are still just feathers. But they do look nice."

Lifesmith — "I'll take that as a compliment, thanks!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Anyway, my turn now. Not many weapons left, let's see… what is this?"

Ironclad Blacksmith pulled from the chest an amulet made from amber.

Ferro Golem — "Oooh, that looks really nice too!"

Lifesmith — "Hey, it's the amber I found! I made into an Amber Amulet!"

Spoiler for "Amber Amulet (Time)":

Ferro Golem — "You know Lifey, I don't always agree with your… tastes, but this one really is a great find. Good job!"

Lifesmith — "Thanks!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "It does look like it could sell for a lot… "

Lifesmith — "Woah! No! We are not selling it Clady!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Come on, we could be rich."

Lifesmith — "That's still a no! Stop looking at it with those eyes!"

Ferro Golem — "Okay, okay, stop it, we don't need another fight. Let's quickly move on to the next weapon. Hm? I don't remember putting this one in there. Does it ring you guys a bell?"

This time, Ferro Golem pulled an antique sword from the chest.

Lifesmith — "Nope, not one of mine either. Looks like this matches Clady's tastes? Clady is it yours?"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "I wish, it does suit my tastes. But no, I have never seen this sword before."

Ferro Golem — "So then… what was it doing in the chest?"

As the three pondered the mystery, the sword suddenly escaped Ferro Golem's hand and started moving on its own — as though held by another, invisible hand.

Ferro Golem — "Woah there! Lifey, is this your doing?"

Lifesmith — "Not at all, I swear!"

Ghost — "OoOoOoOh!"

A ghost had appeared, holding the sword and slicing the air with it.

Ferro Golem, Lifesmith, Ironclad Blacksmith — "AAAAAH! It's a ghost!"

Ferro Golem — "This must be a Possessed Sword!"

Spoiler for "Possessed Sword (Darkness)":

Lifesmith — "Let's get out of here!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "Calm down you two, there must be a rational explanation to this!"

Lifesmith — "Yeah, right! Look at you, you are as much in a panic as we are!"

Ferro Golem — "There's only one weapon left! Let's show it off and then let's bail!"

Ironclad Blacksmith — "You go for it, I will stay a rational distance away."

Lifesmith — "Y… yeah, we believe in you Ferro!"

Ferro Golem — "Gee, thanks. If I die, I'm haunting you guys."

Shaking like a leaf, Ferro Golem took the final weapon out of the chest. Meanwhile the ghost was still slicing the air, showing no interest in the scaredy trio.

Ferro Golem — "I am alive! I think? And that folks is the final weapon! I don't even know what it is! Well, see you!"

And the golem ran away.

Ironclad Blacksmith — "I know what this is. I got it as a gift for subscribing to Precognition Magazine. It said on the box it is a Cyberweapon from the future. Anyway, wait for me Ferro!"

Spoiler for "Cyberweapon (Aether)":

And the blacksmith also ran away.

Lifesmith — "Don't leave me alone you two"

And Lifesmith ran away as well.

All three crafters had ran away, leaving behind them a befuddled and angry crowd. For about three and a half months they had had no rest from the loud noises those three were making, yet at the end all they had to show for it was a bunch of stuff they found or got for free, and maybe a couple actual low-quality weapons? And then they had the nerve to just run away?

A voice emerged from the discontent crowd: "After them!". The voice was soon echoed: "After them! After them!". The entire group started moving as one. "Lets test their weapons on them!", someone yelled, with the rest approving.

And so the angry crowd, armed to the teeth with dubious weapons, started running.

THE END (for now)

New Card Suggestions / Paraoh's curse

« Last post by Hitei on April 14, 2024, 12:37:56 pm »

themed card idea, because I thought it was time to make one.

Spell Pharaoh's Curse 2

Change the passive skill of this creature to "whenever this creature activates it's skill, it's delayed by 1 turn"

Another option i considered, based on the mummy film, would be for it to generate an scarab when the creature leaves play, however it didn't really felt like a curse.

Another possibility would be to make the creature "go back to hand whenever it attacks" but that doesn't feel like an effect a pharaoh would put on someone.
