Twilight Forums

May I suggest a new badge called "Gnatzee proboscises"?

Basically you kill a bunch of "Gnatzees", gnats if you will, and collect 100 of their proboscises in a non-combat (Combat option) adventure.

Im watching Inglorious basterds right now and I thought I aught to let this one on the forums before I forget.

Just for shiggles, I'll suggest a badge. Actually, a couple of them everyone would already get(have), but are trying to get RID of:
First badge could be called "Ending of the Story" Badge(in reference to "The Never Ending Story, somehow, and badge image may reflect this), where one obtains it at their first badge (or maybe a day or two after) because they are on their way to collecting badges elsewhere, but have NOT collected all badges possible(in normal game-play that is). (Or maybe lose it JUST as they obtain the next-to-the-last badge obtainable with some message like "Well you managed to get so many badges, you don't need "Ending of the Story" Badge. I guess that ends that story of this badge, huh? Keep looking!"
The second badge would be obtained when one finds half of the badges(or a day or two later) obtainable by normal game-play called "Center of Gravity". It would have an image of a spiral galaxy and the following message upon receiving it: "Well you got half of the way thru the badges, but there are more to go. I wonder where they are?" When the "Ending of the Story" Badge vanishes, or a day or two later, this badge vanishes with the comment: "I wonder if there is a story behind these badges? Will it ever end? Keep looking, just to be sure!"
Obviously there is room for tweaking into the actual storyline of the actual game.

Since the number of badges can fluctuate, and lots of people are already in lots of stages, not sure either of those two would be exactly right. However, a "badgefinder badge" for collecting X (8, say?) might be funny.

Ryme, if I started a fire within your creative mind, have at it!
(If you want MY input on this particular one, let me know...)

Here are some leftover combinations/ welds I came up with:

serpent skin + black hood = Cobra hood
It makes you paranoid (+dodging ability?), and megalomaniacal (+Strength, Intellect, and Reflexes?).
However..."Dessstro, your plan hasss failed! Why am I sssurrounded by sssuch foolsss?" (-10% sidekick effectiveness, because of your greatly reduced leadership skills)

serpent skin + racoon mask = Snake-eyed balaclava
Makes you stealthy (+non-combats, or +initiative) and mysterious. You don't seem to talk much when you're wearing this...

denim pants + golden apple = applebottom jeans
I like these jeans and I cannot lie!

red pill + unisex beanie = Scarlet Wig
named after the G.I. Joe character, of course.

Here's another one.

malkamite + unbranded jalopy = Old-mobile
It will really enrage people when you drive slowly in the fast lane, with your right turn signal constantly blinking.
+combat adventures, +foe toughness

Forgive me if this has been pitched in before as I have not the time nor the effort to actually search through this thing because I'm short of time and it's kind of huge.



If the telekinetic katana has a malkamite upgrade in the cranky old bastard sword, the other 1 powered 20 elemental damage weapon should get one as well.

As in the jury-rigged splatter.

I was thinking something poisonous darts or the like as malkamite is an old/primitive metal.

And yeah, that was the best thing I could come up with.


Thanks!

Or, it could get a pentium (or infernium, I suppose) upgrade and be a brimstone blaster.

As awesome as that sounds, I think the poisonous darts (like the ones of the protectors of the graveyard in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) would be better.

As a rainbow farter, I think we need more acid elemental damaged items.
Because my rainbow attack messages lack some green and sometimes the moccasins or the Rocker Pants just don't cut it.

Rainbow farter, heh.

Infernium + ??? = Rainbow Farter.

Ranged weapon

1 power

10 of each element damage.

chance to stun enemy

_________________

Again, as awesome as that sounds. I think a malkamite upgrade would be better.
Because with the malk upgrade, the telekinetic katana went up 189 power, yet had been subtracted 8 elemental damage.

So if the Jury-rigged splatter would have a 189 power upgrade but an 8 acid damage downgrade, it would be something that would satisfy the lack of powerful acid damage items, which I implied with my last post as something the Twilight Community has a shortage of.

But as the probably the only rainbow farter in TH, (as far as I know), I'm probably the only one who cares about it.

EDIT:
Not the only rainbow farter anymore. xD

Why not have both?

Probably the rainbow farter would be too hard and too overpowered to be implemented, me thinks.

I'm still pulling for that acid damage item.

Moar acid damaged items plz. kthx.

Psychic also comes to mind when talking about an elemental damaged type item we lack.

The term "rainbow farter" doesn't exactly correlate to "man, I badly need to include THAT in the game". What's wrong with "prismatic"?

"Prismatic farter"?

Besides, haven't we kind of co-opted prismatic with the bra and dreampants?

Warming Gloves

Man. this is hard.. some people see you wearing this, some other don't. Quite polemical, this might get you several more fights... anyway.. all you know is that they DO exist, at least in your hands

randomly does X fire damage

Did this idea get used?

Not as such.

We do have wandering (and not so wandering) villains that you can fight, but the only way they harass or prevent drops is by having you fight them instead of something else.

Can there be wandering heroes?

The wandering villains are combat adventures
The wandering HEROES could be NON-combat adventures and work on the same principle the villains do.

_________________

That's by far the most intriguing idea you've posted, Blink. Not sure I'll do it (writing 50 different noncombat adventures is tough, among other things) but it would provide quite interesting flavor.

Yay!

positronic computer + Clepsydra's clockwork key =

clockwork computer

It has all the speed and power of a positronic computer, with a Steampunk feel. The clear plastic case lets you spend hours watching all the cogs and gears in motion.


Same effects as a positronic computer, but once or twice a day:

You hear a click as the gears inside of the clockwork computer move into the perfect alignment, and a small, shiny disk ejects. (I envision the disk containing one shot of a random software effect; e.g. 45 seconds taken off the next turn length, or 3 SUIT points rewarded for using the disk.)

malkamite + gears =

Pocket Watch

You get strange looks from all the young kids on the streets, but carrying around your watch on a chain
reminds you of a kinder, gentler age. When villains were smited (smote?) with fists and billy clubs rather
than fancy weaponry. Unfortunately, you have to wind the clock every four or five minutes.

Accessory
+5 seconds to each turn
+5% xp

GIMME

The [Brewmeister's Master] Potion should randomly choose among several effects:

Master Baiter:
You're playing solo, which attracts way too much attention.
ALL adventures for X turns are combat adventures, bar none.

Master of Shadows:
You're so stealthy, YOU aren't even sure you exist!
ALL adventures for X turns are NON-combat adventures, period.

Ultimate Mastery:
You feel like you've mastered and conquered every game, ever...It makes you feel so uber!
+10% to all stats, 0% Fumbles, +50% Critical Hits

Master of Disaster:
You must be jinxed, everything goes wrong around you!
-10% to all stats, +50% Fumbles, ZERO Critical Hits!
However, enemies also have +50% Fumbles!
(This is a semi-obvious reference to the Jinxed Trait of Fallout 1)

I had an idea for a new Wandering Villain too: A scaling clone of you, called Doppelpopolus!
The intro text would be something like, "I Think I'm A Clone Now..."
And mention that you're so very proud of you, you wish there were a crowd of you...
And you hate yourself so much you're finally going to do something about it!
Stats would be 90% of the player's stats, no matter who or what he is, but with different loots, depending on Class.

Possible loots:
Gadgeteer's Gimmick (Or Gadgeteer's Genius?) would be a consumable that would multiply healing powers by 10 for say, an hour. AND it would cut Catalyst times to half or less of normal, BUT it would increase all Monster Levels by 10. The caption, "You're so brilliant, everything comes easy to you, and you get your work done faster! BUT people and monsters alike think you're cheating, which makes them mad!"
Mentalist's Mindbender would be a consumable that would override all immunities to Psychic damage, for one hour, with the caption, "The idea is not to BEND the metal, but realize there IS no metal!" (Gratuitous MATRIX ref!)
Naturalist's Nuts would be a consumable giving you 50% Cold Resistance, healing you after each combat by 10% of your Max HP for one hour, with the caption, "These are the nuts you've chased all over the Ice Age! Don't let them touch your nuts!" (Ref to both Ice Age and Johnny Depp's version of Willy Wonka)
Elementalist's Edification would give you a temporary doubling of your Damage Resistance, and remove all Fire Resistance from enemies for one hour with the caption, "Your Stone Skin is rockier--and a strange orange color--and your flames get hotter!
Burn, baby, burn, flames are getting higher!"

This would SO benefit gadgeteers in DDD (at least the ones who use self-balancing)

New Item: Frusion Shoes, probably made of fake Blue Suede.
They would help you convert Reishi--I mean Frusion--into PP, absorbing up through your root system. Since you don't HAVE a root system, they are much less efficient, +5 PP per turn.
You just move your shoes and follow that bag.

They would stop the bugs from burrowing through your shoes and biting you, because they'd exist in the half-phase world of Frusion.
That would almost totally block the attacks of Frusion Ants, but bees and grasshoppers would still hit you...

Ideas for new items:
7-11 Split Maker
Serves up banana splits in a bowling ball, heavy Sugar, sort of the Sugar equivalent of the Mister Tea.

Prismatic G-String (Or Thong of Shielding, if you prefer?)
Gives a permanent effect, "Holed Up In Box Canyon" as long as it's worn, 50% damage reduction from all external sources, but 1 point of damage per combat turn, from chafing.
Once you take them off, gives an hour of "Anal Flossed", where your Int goes up 50%, and your Reflex goes down 50%, due to cleaning all the shit out of you Or something like that?

And a new sidekick idea, The Egyptian Plumber. Osiram.
In combat, it would jump on the enemy's head, or blind them with its crack. After combat, it would have a 50% chance of finding crack (Or could be coins, to stay kid-safe), doubling your money output...Or have the coins sellable at the Money Changer in the Casino?

My last idea is for a familiar called Jelze. You feed it inventory items, and it grows its stats, attack, defense, and healing, based on what you feed it. Might be hard to code, though? Based on the big foam monster from Lufia II...Did ANYONE play that in the old SNES days?

Being a huge TRON fan, and after seeing the Light Cycle in Twilight Heroes, I decided to come up with a Twilight Heroes-version of the classic TRON weapon.

Cipher Disc
Weld Metal-rimmed frisbee + Illuminum
Ranged Weapon (archaic blunt)
+x Electric damage, Less fumbles
Description: To defeat the evil Master Operating System, a superhero named Cipher entered the computer world and used a weapon identical to this that he controlled with his mind. If you can master this, think about how good you'll be at frisbee golf!

I like this one!
