Synpai Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) The abilities (I know they're WIP, but here's my feedback) take toooooo much time to set up. You look at frames like Harrow, Valkyr, Nidus (stacking) etc that have to compete with teammates to keep up or gain buffs. This pseudo cooperative design seems to increase as time goes on: How many enemies can Vlad (or ash for that matter) mark in the time it takes an ally to outright kill a horde? I'm just looking for things like: Nidus getting fraction of stacks if allies kill enemies affected by Larvae Valkyr getting a fraction of duration increase for Eternal War if allies are affected and kill with a melee. Harrow's allies getting kills in range triggering a fractioned version of thurible. I.e: Something is better than nothing.

Tellakey Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Here's what we've been shown during the latest Devstream: Eidolon/vampire theme Spreading affliction Mind control Mass slumber Health/energy leeching Any ideas for a name? I'm gonna be unoriginal here and go for Tepes (pronounced te-pesh), as in Vlad Tepes, AKA Count Dracula. That or simply Drac or Dracul, Nosferatu, and of course, Edward.

Zoh_Veldae Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Probs gonna be vampire theme, yes. My bet's on "Dhampyr", uses no energy, instead spending HP for abilities and the whole kit cycles around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad4youLT Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) My personal gripe is what they dont do much on their own and are in need to use others powers to get full affect this not only time consuming but energy expensive , I dont like Edited June 1, 2018 by bad4youLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_Vauban Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) I think I actually need to rewatch the stream, all I understood was "You mark the enemy, then you pass through them, then they're in their final affliction form and explode and heal you." Sounds like one step too many to make things actually work Edited June 1, 2018 by DJ_Vauban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well these things can change i think he looks cool with his concept and abilities but im not going to try and argue people since with how chat reacted to something wip as useless or oh its x frame 2.0 de why dont you just rework x frame instead just already made me give up on talking about it in major discussion its making me starting to hate this community like i love me some salty people but god damn could some people ease up would you prefer getting nothing at all but just reworks of the same sh!t over and over again?

EchoesOfRain Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) So basically Vlad plays like this...Use his 1 and 2 to build up an army that can't be killed. Use his 3 to make then vulnerable and cause them to attack enemies and build a bigger zombie hoard, which explode on death. So he's a sort of summoner frame?

Sajochi Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 My guess is either "Revenant" cause they did mention that term a few times, or we can go full meme and go with "Alucard" I'm actually hoping for something from the Greek mythos like "Thanatos" since this frame has a lot to do with death and Thanatos carried mortals to the underworld when they're time was up, and the sleep mechanic can be a nice call out to "Hypnos" the god of sleep, which is Thanatos' brother.
