[Mod Pre-release] Reckoning

Post by dreameaterx » Thu Aug 15, 2019 5:21 pm

Hello. I´d like to present a new mod I am working on now, Reckoning. I began working on it recently so there isn´t much done yet, but we know the routine, there isn´t ever much done yet.

The main features of this mod will be:
- a bunch of endgame dungeons divided into tiers to offer new challenges, collect items from one tier to be able to fight enemies in higher tier
- modified almost vanilla skillset which is supposed to provide more freedom with builds, synergies with stats
- new items which will let you fight enemies in higher dungeon tiers, new crafting recipes, new runewords and the like
- new enemies and bosses
- new alchemy recipes offering wide range of potions (later on)
- top tier dungeons will likely get completely new map layouts too
- attempting to maintain pvp playability

Not the biggest project for these days, but it´s not always the biggest star that shines the brightest.
Currently I am looking for people to test the adjusted skills and share their opinion. Here are some examples:

If you are interested in giving it a shot, join for discussion and news in my Discord server, where the mod is now available for download: >>https://discord.gg/BTfUm7v<<
Thanks for reading, have a nice day. Enjoy this armed-to-teeth guinea pig as a reward.

Other features are:
- xp +500%
- all items qualities drop x2
- new crafted items recipes which greatly ease making of crafted items, in case you add standard of heroes to the recipe, completely new stars will appear on the items
- runes can be crafted up to zod
- treasure nests - crow nests which spawn bandit fallens, destroy the nest before they steal all gems/runes
- remade vanilla skills, a few swapped, synergy from stats
- spawn with cube
- increased inventory 8x10 , stash 10x10, cube 8x10
- gloves, boots, belts, rings, amulets can be socketed
- new uniques, new set items, new runewords, including a few for gloves and boots

Topped off with remade monsters in dungeons which have extreme chance for drop of sets, uniques and runewords, making it a lot easier to get solid items, but are also a lot harder

I want to tell you I like your system with the skills.
The Energy-synergies for the Barbarian look awesome!

In my opinion, Dex-oriented Attack Rating- boni for all characters could become stronger.

(especially Slow attack rate) Single Target Skills can get strong boni (for example, Leap Attack can get 3% ED / 1 Strength and still remain harder to use than for example Whirlwind; Bash can get 1% ED / 1 Strength, synergies could give high AR% instead of ED%)

You reduced many curse duration for Necromancers.
I fail to understand wether this is thought of you as bonus or malus.

Greetings

Thank you ! It is possible that I will tweak the synergies a little after I finish adding the actual to-do content. Especially with people coming to try, some are bound to discuss it with me, like you just now, so after a while many changes can pile up, and I will take care of them then. It´s still completely fresh and isn´t expected to be well-balanced, especially the new skills.

The reason I reduced the duration for necromancer curses was because I found it to be ridiculously long, like some curses last for almost a whole minute a level 20 what let´s you have the debuff on enemies during whole fight. That looks quite illogical to me. Having to recast it more often keeps players busy, and if you are busy during fights, you do not have time to feel bored, i.e. you have less time (so the theory was in my head). Aside from that, the new necromancer passive prolongs curses, so the duration isn´t that much lower in the ending result, but it at least makes players not treat some curses like 1 point op tool, what I don´t find to my liking.

Come share your ideas to faster discussion on Discord if you´d like, or try the mod itself at that.

Thanks for showing interest, have a nice day.

Mod is now public testable, but documentation is still only on Discord and even there it´s still pretty lacking: https://www.moddb.com/mods/reckoning

Hello guys, Im playing the Reckoning mode for like 1 week now, its great, its very fun and everything, but I see nobody online.
Did I make some mistake and install it somehow wrong?
I see there are people in the ladder, but nobody online and no games active.
Is it some problem only I have or is it nobody plays the mode?
If there are people online, it will be even more fun.
I hope I can play the mode with people, not alone in the server.
Thank you!
