Kevak Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Wallwalk would be OP as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyass Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Wallwalk would be OP as fuck. that why i made it so they they cant carry items pass the walls and have a 2 min cooldown. maybe you even place down a seal to keep them from going pass the wall.

Kevak Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The reason slimepeople ventcrawl was removed was due to the sheer OPness of what was functionally all access even with no items (including ID). This is ventrcrawl but with a cooldown and slightly harder in restricted areas. The other parts sound like it would be neat. But balance is an issue here.

Holyass Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 There I got toss away the going pass walls for another skill that is both a debuff and an attack. reread the 1st post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacemanspark Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Is this an antag role, or an actual species? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTSAM Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Antagonist? Sure, sounds like some !!FUN!! stuff. We already have wraiths, so a neat sub-wraith bro'd be nice. Normal species? NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOoooooOooOoo. Why? We already have shitloads of species, including plasmamen, IPCs, humans, unathi, taj, vulp, vox, grey, slime people, adamantine golems, kidan-- you get the point. This, and we should really work on other features before adding more species. Also, you shouldn't really get non-passive special powers from species. Environmental resistance is always good, but you shouldn't get any kind of combat move IE fireballs or whatever. And letting IC characters talk to ghosts is a terrible idea for a multitude of reasons I won't bother to list. ooc in ic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An actual species, and NTSAM that why i put that "MAYBE" talk to the dead, and this Specie is still a WIP so stuff can change. P.S. I'm still working on the lore and background on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevak Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It might be neat as a Cult Construct. Always annoyed me how Shades can't wallwalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganzombeh Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Can shoot balls of Ectoplasm with a cooldown of 5 mins weak to mid range brute damage Species abilities shouldn't be for combat, IMO. It encourages needless violence. maybe talk to the dead That's not likely to ever happen. Deadchat isn't really an IC channel at this point. can see pass a wall if right next to it This is actually surprisingly difficult to do in byond. You can easily change the opacity of the object, but not so that it only affects one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevak Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Turn it into a cult construct, let it make pathways for culties and other constructs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toroic Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It is much more important to diversify the existing species before we add new ones. For example, skrell have absolutely 0 upsides and two significant downsides (can't eat meat, hardsuits don't fit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevak Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 As I've previously stated. Vulps should have 1/2 or 1/4th nutrition for anything that isn't meat, maybe a slight speed increase. Some level of night vision. Heat being a slight issue. Cold being less of an issue. Chocolate being poison. ((Actually unsure if chocolate is bad for Vulps right now or not. Have seen a Vulp have seizures after eating chocolate relatively recently and have not been willing to test it.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyass Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Well there I redid it more more, I remove near all stuff, it more as a human now then some fun specie. By the looks of it we don't really want anything but stuff that very human like for balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTSAM Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 imo playing as dead people is pretty snowflakey. Plus, we already have 10000 supernatural things; We have Golems that work by some satanic slime-sacrifice, a Gamemode centered around an Eldritch horror, Revenants which are fucking angry ghosts ffs, and we have Zombies and Skeletons. On top of this, Fethas is working on porting cameras that are basically the Fatal Frame-cams, Voodoo dolls, necromancy stones, everything. Having a whole new species with this theme is pretty unnecessary, if you ask me. I'm also a bit afraid of people validhunting these players just because "OOH GHOST OOAOAOHNAHAHAH GOTTA KIL HAHAHAHAHAKEK." And Halloween is over and I rather we not become Halloween Station 13 all year, because if there's a species that can be used by the public it will be used by the public and done to death. No pun intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauka Usanake Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 we have Zombies We don't have any sort of gamemode/event related to them though, do we? I think we might need that. [/offtopic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTSAM Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 We do got a 2spooky event that spamspawns them and skeletons, IIRC. Oh, and GHOSTS, FUCKING GHOSTS, not observer ghosts, JUST GHOSTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
