Title: New unique items
Post by: Angle of Death on January 25, 2009, 00:22
I have a couple of ideas for unique items.

1. Grafter

This is a mod that lets you graft any single item into your own body. The effects would vary by the individual item. Suggestions: (Remember, this is a one-time only thing)

Armor: Gives you permanent armor 1 + half of the current value of the armor used, plus any other effects.

Weapon: Allows the weapon to remain available without taking up inventory space.

Medkits: Adds 10% small/20% large to max health. (So you would go to 110 % or 120% without decaying.

Weapon mods: Gives one level of the appropriate trait.

Damage:  Son of a bitch
Accuracy: Eagle Eye
Reload: Reloader
Magazine: ??

Nuke: The nuke will detonate if you are killed

Alternatively, it could be used when standing on a corpse to gain the ranged attack of that corpse. (By grafting part of the monster onto yourself)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Submachine Gun

This is based on the "Submachine Gun" from Red Faction

Damage:    2d4x3 OR 1d8x3
Accuracy:    +0
Base Fire Time:    1.0 second
Base Reload Time:    2.0 seconds
Clip Size:    20
Ammunition:  10mm OR Cells
Special Reload:    Loads cells instead of 10mm
Quote on pickup:    Death: Now in bite size!
Ingame Description:    A compact weapon for any situation.

Basically, it's a combination Chaingun/plasma rifle. I figure that it would be most useful as a secondary weapon to take advantage of otherwise useless ammo. (In other words, shotgun users)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Target pistol

Damage:    2d4
Accuracy:    +20
Base Fire Time:    1.0 second
Base Reload Time:    1.2 second
Clip Size:    6
Ammunition:    10mm ammo
Special Reload:    N/A
Quote on pickup:    They'll never see it coming!
Ingame Description:    A scoped 10mm pistol.

The perfect long-range weapon.

I've got a couple other ideas, but I need to work on them.

I like the idea of being able to gain a trait through some other way than a level up, and being able to graft on an arm cannon. The monster corpse thing wouldn't work out though, as then it would have to address if the abilities of the monsters came from their biology, or some hellish influence, which the games left open-ended.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Angle of Death on January 25, 2009, 01:35
For weapon grafting, I was thingking more along the lines of mounting it on the shoulder than the arm (so you could still use big guns logically.) What I don't know is how it would affect dualgunner.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: FrostyTheDragon on January 25, 2009, 10:12
Well, now that there's a more recent topic for ideas for uniques, I don't have to resurrect the age-old one.

MP40
-From: Well, there's a lot of games that have MP40s, and it was an actual World War II-era gun last I checked...
-Stats:
Quote
Damage: 1d8x4  
Accuracy: +5
Base Fire Time: 1.0 second
Base Reload Time: 1.2 second
Clip Size:  32
Ammunition: 10mm ammo
Special Reload:  N/A
Quote on pickup: N/A
Ingame Description: An antique infantry weapon.
-Intent: This was designed to be just a more potent chaingun.  Fires one less bullet per volley and has a smaller clip, but is more accurate, more damaging, and most of all, MUCH faster to reload.  (You'd be surprised how important that is.)

Firebomb
-From: Rise of the Triad
-Stats:
Quote
Damage: 8d6
Accuracy: +4
Base Fire Time: 1.0 second
Base Reload Time: 1.5 second
Clip Size: 1
Ammunition: Rockets
Special Reload:  N/A
Quote on pickup: We'll bury them in a lunchbox!
Ingame Description: Nothing short of fiery death.  Make sure it doesn't backfire.
Notes: The explosion for this weapon is quite different.  Instead of a round blast radius, it explodes in an 'X' shape, with one of the 'arms' being focused on the direction the weapon was fired from.  The 'X' is 6 squares in each direction from the point of impact, and anything within 1 square of the actual blast takes partial damage.
-Intent:  Different style of rocket launcher - more damaging (I believe the Firebomb was about twice as damaging as the Bazooka, the equivalent weapon to Doom's Rocket Launcher, in Rise of the Triad, but I had to tone it down in this case) but exploding in a much different and potentially much more dangerous pattern.


Note that I DEFINITELY need better ingame descriptions for these.  I also need to work on the quote on pickup for the Firebomb - the one there now is the first one that came to mind, one alternate was 'Ludicrous gibs!', but neither one feels right.  (But both are quotes - the 'lunchbox' one slightly altered - from Rise of the Triad, the game where this particular Firebomb came from.)

I'd figure it just wouldn't work, like trying to use a weapon mod on a unique... Alternatively, you could of course just make it so grafting worked for uniques as well...

I was dicking around with T-Search the other day, making a set-damage weapon. Then I thought "Hmm... unlock HP, see how far I can get with a One-Shot-Kill or Run weapon". Got to the fifth floor before getting killed... best used with Cateye(2) and Intuition(3). Reload time's a bitch with something like this, and it's suicide if you don't have a crowd-control weapon as backup. It doesn't even benefit from Shottyman (which would make this overpowered, to be honest).

Ergo, Golden Gun = Awesome, but impractical.

GG gun could be nice for AoMr - for shotting behind sight range and hitting monsters there.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Visalos on February 04, 2009, 13:25
tone down the accuracy a bit. in all those bond FPS's, it is a one hit kill(against normal, non-possessed humans), but it's not as if the bullet tracks enemies.

Title: Re: New unique items

I've tested - slight, and always at the worst times. Best at point blank I've seen is 98%, even with a GG-type hack.

Skarczew, you are being paged by the Department of Redundancy Department: paging skarczew.

Visalos: One Hit Kill weapon is bad in Doom RL. Unless it's a Nuke effect. This tradeoff of Damage for Accuracy is better, and you have to remember that it's not the type of weapon you want to be caught in the middle of some enemies with.

Wait. I might be reading the code wrong, but wouldn't only the roll results of 17 and 18 result in a miss? Which would be all 6s and then 566, 656, 665, which would be ... 4/216.

Thanks for pointing this out - I will try to effectively reduce overused redundancy in my next posts :) .

I think it would be nice to add +99 damage to gun every time the player shots humanoids (former humans, seargants, etc) with it. For the rest of hell horde the damage could be reduced to some sensible value.

The Mauser 00 (as far as I remember the year in Doom RL is 2200 and Mauser used to designate their rifles with the last 2 digits of the year of introduction)

Mauser 00 scoped prototype newly issued to the Marines for field testing.

Damage:    6d20
Accuracy:    +10*
Base Fire Time:    1.0 second
Base Reload Time:    1.3 second (3.5 second for full reload)
Clip Size:    5 (70 max per inventory slot)
Ammunition:    30mm Mauser***
Special Reload:   Fully loading the clip**
Quote on pickup: "An AT Rifle, no tanks here unfortunately"
Ingame Description: A prototype Mauser anti-materiel rifle issued to the Marines for field testing.

*Yes it is made in a way that would still require EE to get 100% accuracy, because I believe a good sniper rifle is worthless without a trained marksman

** This is a bolt action sniper rifle so normal reload would be repeating the mechanism. It is also impossible to repeat with move-reload this beast is just too f'*in' big to be repeated  this way.

*** The ammo itself should be VERY rare, because this is only a prototype issued in very small numbers.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: rekenne on February 21, 2009, 12:23
It's both useless and too powerful. With both the ammo *and* the gun being rare, who would ever pick up the ammo if they saw it? It's a waste of inventory space. Same with the gun. Unless the gun and ammo spawned on the same floor, I don't see anyone using it.
On that note, though, it would kill Cybie in an average of four shots. Three if you got even slightly lucky.

It's pretty much the Railgun, but more obtuse.

... Though, it does give me an idea for a unique Sniper Rifle that could work. Fueled by either 9mm or cells, where the normal fire mode is nothing special, but the Special fire Mode would increase accuracy, give a +1 or +2 bonus to sight range, and up the damage -- But would take a few seconds to get into or out of, and you couldn't move while in.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Kao on February 21, 2009, 16:19

but then again you're a sitting duck even while repeating the thing and this takes more than enough for a shot or two even for the Cybie,  also after 5 shots you have to fully reload  the thing. This takes even more time and there's no way you can do it on the move.

Unless the gun and ammo spawned on the same floor, I don't see anyone using it.


Yea that's a good idea.

It's both useless and too powerful.

Ok I wanted to compensate for it's slow firing speed and being a sitting duck while reloading with power, guess I've overdone it, then again I don't know the exact hp of enemies so it was more of a wild guess. I'd be grateful if anyone could post a table with hp values for enemies, this would help me avoid overpowering ideas.

Zeliska .600 Nitro Express aka the reason why Dirty Harry was wrong.

Base Reload Time: 1.8 second (2.8 second for full)
Clip Size:    5 Revolver cylinder
Ammunition: 10mm ammo

Ingame Description: THE handgun of choice for those compensating something.

It's heavy, it's slow, but the gigantic bullet combined with an insane charge, (normally used in elephant hunting rifles in the 19th and early 20th century), packs one helluva punch. Although sadly the recoil kills the accuracy. (and sometimes the user :P)

Hm, those sniper rifles of yours are very powerful.

I think that letting the sniper rifles into the game would be a cool idea with one little catch:

If you want to shoot the sniper rifle, you have to stand still for one turn. This way it won't be the ultimate slaughter machine. Also, welding a sniper rifle slows you down (it is really hard to run with 1,5m metal pipe attached to your hands)
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Kao on February 23, 2009, 10:11
Hm, those sniper rifles of yours are very powerful.

If you mean my ideas, the second one is technically a high calibre revolver. On this note though, forget dual-wielding it with anything, if it is ever wielded with one hand the recoil would:

- twist or brake your wrist.
- break your arm. (if the grip was not proper.)
- jump out of your hand and smack you on the face with enough force to break your nose.
- result in a combination of 2 or more of the injuries listed above.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: raekuul on February 23, 2009, 18:06
- twist or brake your wrist. -5 HP, can only use healing items and powerups until S/LHP or Berserk Pack or Supercharge is used or floor change. 20%
- break your arm. (if the grip was not proper.) -10 HP, and firing speed is doubled until healing item is used or floor change. 30%
- jump out of your hand and smack you on the face with enough force to break your nose. - 5 HP, and gross accuracy bonus = 0 until healing item or floor change, trail blood for five steps. 40%
- Accidentally drop 'z' weapon - 10%
- result in a combination of 2 or more of the injuries listed above.

Happens if there is a 'z' weapon equipped when firing at a varying rate:

Just the 'cannon' = 1 per 1000 shots
Cannon main, Knife secondary = 2% (1% with Juggler)
Cannon main, Pistol-type or Butcher's Cleaver secondary = 10% (100% with Dualgunner) (85% with Juggler and Dualgunner) (5% with Juggler)
Cannon main, Shotgun-type secondary = 20% (15% with Juggler)
Cannon main, Rocket Launcher-type or Chainsaw secondary = 25% (15% with Juggler)
Cannon main, Chaingun-type or Plasma Rifle-type secondary = 30% (10% with Juggler)
Cannon main, BFG-type or Loningus or Jackhammer secondary = 40% (30% with Juggler)
Cannon main, Dragonslayer secondary = 100% (100% with Juggler)
Cannon main, anything else secondary = 20% (10% with Juggler)

Exactly, and even this with a penalty due to pain.

As undoomish as it might sound I think it would be fun to adapt a more complex injury and targeting system into Doom RL.

Including things like not being able to run while being leg-shot, or not being able to run and rapidly loosing health while lung-shot, not being able to use certain weapons with an arm severed by a shotgun shell, etc.

All of course still healable with all the healing items, plus we could add medical traits just too balance the fact that this would make it much easier to die.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: raekuul on February 24, 2009, 17:56
Well, now, hold on. The twisted/borked wrists already requires healing before more attacking. I haven't fired a gun with a borked arm, but shooting with the wrong hand should cause  Since I haven't discouraged the double injury mechanic, anything more might be more dangerous and difficult...and yes, that is wrists in plural now ;P

Besides, this all only applies while shooting that cannon-pistol with a 'z' weapon equipped.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Kao on February 25, 2009, 10:27
Since I haven't discouraged the double injury mechanic, anything more might be more dangerous and difficult...

And that is the whole fun don't you agree? How about we start a topic on more realistic injuries in Doom RL just to increase the difficulty a few notches? I'm saying we cause I have the ideas for injuries and you are good in converting them into game mechanics, so we might work something reasonable out of this.

If you want to contact me just send me a PM with your skype, gg or msn.

I haven't fired a gun with a broken arm

With a heavier rifle (Anything more powerful than 5.56 NATO) this pretty much equals breaking or seriously injuring your other arm because of heavy recoil and the fact that the gun can move freely while held with only one hand.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Visalos on February 25, 2009, 15:39
Health is measured as a percentage. If you want realism, just pretend that Doomguy's wrists and ribs and organs DO break, but all the supernatural hell healing items fix that. Otherwise, realistically, it takes days or weeks for broken things to heal; would YOU want to be stuck in hell for days or weeks, with a broken wrist, wielding the gun that broke your good wrist in your off hand? Note: 10mm is somewhere between .44 and .50 caliber. Doomguy pops those off ALL DAY LONG. if your 'cannon' packs such a kick, just express it as slow firing time; one still has to go 'wooooo...!' like will smith with the noisy cricket. (side note: NO) Besides, it's really not necessary. If you've ever faced a new dlvl with 36% health, no armor or health items, two phase devices and that combat shottie you picked up two levels ago because you ran out of power cells, you know how tense DoomRL can get. And don't give me any crap about inventory management. i already know, and you already know it doesn't always help.

Well that was the point, as Raekuul said, yes healing items WOULD FIX ALL THAT IN A SNAP. As for 10mm in terms of power it all depends which 10mm we are talking about. I mean 10mm pistol, 10mm intermediate, or 10mm full rifle cartridge. then again Doom RL doesn't clarify this although I do assume that a chaingun is more likely to fire full 10mm than pistol 10mm don't you think? Although that wold be too much realism.

Actually the shorter the barrel the shorter the range and the worse the accuracy. That is one of the reasons a rifle has a longer range and is more accurate than a pistol. Longer barrel means the powder combustion gases propel the bullet longer. (after leaving the barrel they go whichever way they want.)

Sounds reasonable, I always thought the other way. Still, I am waiting for such gun to be implemented (although I am a chaingun person).
But now when I look at howitzers or sniper rifles they all have long barrels, one exception I found is the Karl Gerat 60 artillery (http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/60-cm_Karl_Ger%C3%A4t_040). But that's just a little off-topic [;

What about the Soul Cube from Doom 3? I know 3 was pretty bad as far as the Doom legacy's concerned, but it could shape up to be an interesting unique weapon, and could even be the reward for a unique level.

It could be a usable inventory like the Hell Staff, and function similiarly: when you use it, it causes damage to a single enemy, the same amount of which is given to you as health, although not over their (or even your, as in 100%) maximum. If it had a damage rating of, say, 5d5, it could potentially kill or at least injure most enemies up to the late-game, and potentially heal you a full half of your maximum health, making it good for sketchy situations. And like the Hell Staff, it makes you Tired on use, to prevent abuse.

It would be funnier if the energy from the killed enemy could be caught by another enemy. Imagine kiiling arch-ville with the soul cube and the arachnotron that gains health and speed from that kill?

I lol'd far more than I should've at this.

Solid suggestion though. There's no double shotgun-based uniques (Pancor Jackhammer is basically just an incredibly manly Combat Shotgun) and it's so silly to wield a shotgun with 4 barrels. The good kind of silly.

And while we're discussing shotguns, here's a unique version of the normal one:

Phase Shotgun

Clip size: 1
Base fire time: 0.8
Base reload time: 1.0
Special: Phase Shotgun ignores walls and doors. Yes, this means that you can hit monsters on the other side of the wall/door without retribution. Mind, it doesn't bypass barrels...

Also a correction: Shotguns can damage things out of your LOS (for 1-2 traitless damage, but that's neither here nor there) so they'd have to have an effective range of at least 10 squares. Double Shotguns are the only ones that can't reach more than 6 squares.

You know what would be even more overpowered with intuition(3)?
A simple non-unique rocket launcher.

Sounds a bit overpowered

Compared with a normal shotgun? Certainly.
Compared with other uniques (like, say, Missile Launcher)? I'm not so sure.

First and foremost, it is situational. One can't always rely on having walls and doors to shield him or her from harm; on open ground, Phase Shotgun would be vastly inferior even to a mundane double shottie, let alone other uniques.

Furthermore, as Visalos has pointed out, range will still be a factor. While this weapon may kill the foos who have lined up against the wall, it's useless against those who stand in the middle of the room.

Finally, there's the omnipresent chance of having a barrel (or five) on the other side of the wall. Those who fire Phase Shotguns through the walls blindly are playing Martian Roulettte with live ammunition.

I have thought of that too. Of course it should be a lousy weapon in open spaces, in any case. But there are pretty much places in the game that has a wall nearby. And clearing all of such places will be a simple task with that shotgun even without Intuition (listen to the sounds, fire behind the wall, and everyone, who will be hit by your shot - will approach the wall from their side, so they will be an easy targets). Monsters now have a tendency to try to reach the center of the map, so it's easily predictible, are they behind the wall, or not. Also killing Cyberdemon from behind the pillars will be easy. Such weapon will be possible only if AI would be reworked, but that won't happen anytime soon.

I think we are goin somewhat too unrealistic here. Hey, I know, that you cannot hold a chaingun and go on a killing spree, run and shoot (accurately). But a shotgun and a chaingun? And a shotgun and a rocket launcher?


I would rather see a multiple-grenade launcher. It would be diffirent from the launcher with one thing. It is highly inaccurate. Also the grenades cannot fly through the whole map. They either exactly hit the spot you are aiming at (just like the Revenant's launcher) or, there is a possibility to miss: you hit something d2 squares away from the place you were aiming at.

Post by: Angle of Death on May 11, 2009, 00:32
Elnar, the combo weapons I proposed were intended to provide a "contingency" weapon. A shotgunner mught use a Combat shotgun for longer range and a double for close. Carrying a rocket launcher for explosive work would require him to use up two or more inventory slots (weapon+ammo) on a weapon that won't be used too much, as the two shotguns will handle most situations. If he replaces the DS with Big Thunder, he will only have to carry the ammo. If he really doesn't need it very often, he can just stick to the single shot that's already loaded.

Likewise, a chaingunner that uses a Chaingun and a Rocket Launcher/PLasma Rifle/BFG will sometimes find himself in a situation where a shotgun blast would help a lot, for whatever reason. Using PAWS instead of the chaingun would give that ability.

I though that we are missing some melee weapons. So here it is. Once wielded by Longinus, who cut three Janissaries heads at once is now yours. It deals half the damage of of Longinus Spear and only give you +2 armour.
But it speeds you up (20%) and you can attack three adjent targets in one blow.

That might work... as long as it only replaced monsters and items (replacing the walls and floors would more than likely leave behind impossible deathtraps as a large fraction of said floor and wall tiles could easily end up being replaced by monsters, making the level impassible, meaning that no one would ever use the unique)... It could, however, replace monsters and items with anything else in the game (everything from simple walls to powerful monsters, possibly excluding Cybie, JC and AoD)....

I don't think it'd really work on a regular shotgun, where the aim is killing your target. I was going for a more utility weapon, that fires very quickly and greatly increases the distance between you and your opponent to help you run away from powerful enemies or push them in to hazards. If you're doing 8d3(x3), you might as well just kill them.

I have a feeling this would be a bit powerful for shottyman users, don't you think?  Double shotguns are powerful enough as is (9-27 damage, with average 18 damage), and this would be 7-42 damage, with average 24 damage. Factor in shottyman's auto-reload, and you've got yourself a beast, IMO. :|

Edit: Wait a sec. I just confused myself. Something sounds wrong with what I did.

No, wait, never mind. Actually, this would be kinda useless. Double shotguns do 18-54 damage, with average 36 damage. This is actually a step down. A BIG step down, with the ammo consumption and reload time. Make it only use one shell per shot and then you have a unique.

The Blunderbuss
The father of all shotguns ! Extremely slow, heavy and unwieldy, reloading takes ages, yet it can be reloaded with EVERYTHING.
Damage : 20d4 (but armor reduces twice as much damage)
Accuracy : Well, eh, it's a shotgun. Has spread like a double-barrelled one.
Clip Size : 1
Ammo : Shotgun Shells (normal reload), any items worth one inventory slot (for example, a Hell Staff or a 100x of 10mm Bullets) on Special Reload.
Firing time : 1,5 sec.
Reload time : 4 sec.
Moving speed : -15%
There's a slight (2%) jamming chance when firing, due to a rather crude lock. In that case Blunderbuss must be unloaded and loaded again.
If Blunderbuss is loaded with any item other than shells, then chance increases to 6%.
(There is around 50% chance that newly found Blunderbuss will be loaded with a random item.)

Combat Translocator
Damage: 0
Accuracy: N/A (always hit)
Clip: 20, consumes 5 per shot
Ammo: Plasma cells
Firing time: 0.7 sec
This weapon does not harm enemies- directly, at least. Anyone hit by that is teleported randomly, just like after using phase device. Can be a lifesaver, or life-taker. And give you SO MUCH FUN in Hell's Armoury or other level with a lot of lava. Obviously, it does not work on DoomGuy.
Alternate fire - you teleport yourself.
But this weapon is really, really powerful. On the other side, you would have to wield it to use it, so bye, bye second weapon!

Nah, that's what the Hell Staff is for. Anyway, imagine using it on BoH, only to find that he teloprted right behind you:P

I'm with you... to an extent. I'm willing to accept things of different origin (especially things not ripped off from anywhere but simply made up) as long as they fit in.
Although, to be honest, it seems that we're a lot more willing to include stuff we personally know. Familiarity helps them not to stand out so much.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a few relatively subtle references here and there, like the Chainsaw's pick up message and the Longinus Spear, but too many overt references like weapons ripped straight from other games/movies/anime tends to damage the feel of the game.

Let me add my 0.02$ here -- the reason of Out of Theme items in DoomRL.

As you all know, only uniques appear out of theme, and that's really how I would like it to stay. The general out of theme way that happened is just because it's hard to come up with a lot of uniques that are in theme with DoomRL. That in mind however, there are a couple uniques that have a strong reasoning behind them:

Spear of Longinus/Angel of Death (and Angelic Armor as a companion) -- this is an obvious reference to Wolfenstein/Spear of Destiny. I allowed myself this inclusion on the same principle that there are Wolfenstein levels in Doom 2.

Railgun, Blaster, other Quake related items -- obvioulsly also from Id.

Dragonslayer, Butcher's Cleaver -- a homage to other Chaosforge roguelikes.

Grammaton Cleric Beretta, Malek's Armor -- a homage to Malek, who while now being inactive, played a vital role in the beginnings of Chaosforge Forums.

That leaves Trigun and Anti-Freak Jackal. The references aren't that strong, and I desperately needed some new unique pistols.

The rest of the uniques is more or less in-theme.

Post by: Captain Trek on July 29, 2009, 07:01
Perhaps instead of adding new Uniques, we could instead have a look at improving some of the old ones... I'm afraid my own idea trough is running dangerously low at this point, but it is something one could consider...

It would also (I think) be a good idea to try and think of uniques a little bit differently... Rather than thinking of a weapon you like and then inventing stats for it, one could instead try to think of a combat niche that a unique could nicely fill, then come up with a weapon to fill that niche... A good example of this sort of thinking is this unique idea for a weapon called the flare gun, which was invented by Thomas in response to LockeCarnelia's idea for a weapon mod called tracter shots, which can map out parts of the map that are normally beyond the reach of the character's normal sight radius... The two pertinent posts were as follows...

Quote
The Blind-Firer's friend.  This mod makes every shot shot by a player map out the parts of the map where the bullet goes.  Say there is a long corridor that you want to know if there's anything worthwhile down it afore you plunge in.  You just shoot your pistol with the Tracer Mod, and the map is revealed along the path of the bullet.

I don't know how hard this would be to code, or even if you people like it, but hey

Quote
Excellent idea. Implement it as a unique AoE weapon called the flare gun that shoots shotgun shells (Or rockets? Rockets would be a bit too rare though.) and has a 1 radius splash that doesn't destroy walls or items. Does very little damage and has the special abilities of the tracer mod described above.

Its sight radius is 1 while flying and 2 when it explodes. You get a free action looking at the revealed tiles (Message: "Ah, that cleared things up a bit. -MORE-"). And then you press enter or space to make them dark again and continue with play.

The thread itself can be found here...

http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php?topic=1774.0

Just a little food for thought... Try basing unique ideas off something you'd like to see a weapon be able to do within the game... I would fully support the flare gun concept being implemented as a unique weapon, by the way...

Here's something that hasn't been represented yet. Grenades. Not just any grenades, flash Grenades/breaching charges. There are always times where you know there is a ton of monsters behind a door and there's not other way other than to tough it out. Maybe not anymore. Attach one of these to a door and blow it. The door explodes releasing blinding light and sound just on the other side of the doorway stunning everything in line of sight for a couple of seconds depending on distance.

Must be diagonal to the door to use so you don't blind yourself.

Self stacking single use item. Stack of 20.

Pros, helps to clear out mini vaults while keeping the items intact. Does not use a weapon slot.

Cons, can't throw them, doors only, also door is destroyed.

You could use this on a door in an open area, but that would be pretty stupid thing to do.

Maybe add +11 accuracy, +4 view range, and set movement speed to 10secs while zoomed, and change special reload to toggle zoom. Then I'd like it.
Also change reload time to one second. Why should it take four seconds to load one bullet? ;)

I don't know what the stats would be since I'm not really good with old school RPG attack formulas, but it would be incredibly strong and it has to be able to go through multiple targets just like in the manga. It could have multiple power levels too.

That would depend on exactly how much health is drained. 2 hp for 10d8? Yeah, no.

Well - it shouldn't drain half of your health for one shot either. It's obvious that it shouldn't be overpowered. I'm more worried about it becoming underpowered.

Another idea:
Pendant of Retribution
While wearing (i.e.: having in the inventory) the PoR the player cannot lose sight of his opponents (once a monster is in his LOS, he cannot move in a direction that would change that and, obviously, cannot descend to the next level). PoR can only be dropped when there are no enemies in sight.
When the player receives fatal damage he gets supercharged instead (see: limit break (http://encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php?title=Limit_break&oldid=1998095749)), while the PoR gets destroyed in the process (although the 'cannot-run-away' effect lasts until the end of level regardless).
If that's too little for too much - the general idea is to give the player a second chance ONLY IF he can maul down everything around him. As such - the "no-escape" rule might simply apply ONLY after the limit break and not while just wearing the pendant.

On the other hand - we could have an Angel of Retribution where you'd have all the drawbacks of the pendant... without the pendant :>.

Edit:
RNGun
Targets anything (like Revenant's Launcher). Everything within its effect radius changes to a random object (anything, really - floor, ammo, lava, door, wall, weapon, barrel, powerup...). Extensive use would be highly dangerous, as it is likely to block the way to the exit. Also - CD, JC (and, perhaps, the player) are immune to the randomization effect.

Concerning the necrogun idea, If you make the health cost something connected with reloading, and it's bfg-like in power, it could easily be useful even if it cost half of your health.  There are many, many times in doomrl when you run across things like large health globes, invulnerability artifacts and berserk globes when at well over 50% health- any of these times you could reload the gun and then grab the item.  Not to mention the small medkits that are often not worth inventory space later in the game.

I think that Necro gun shouldn't be reloaded. It takes energy directly from you, that's the Necro gun power. Also, it doesn't take the same amount health from you all the time, so it is possible to kill yourself in the whole process.

Necro gun would take a random amount of your health. The more health it takes, the more damage it can deal.

What we mean by 2hp? 2hp or 2% of health? If 100% health is 50hp(without any traits). Then the gun would take 2d4hp and deal (hp_taken) * 2 dmg.

No reload time! The only thing to discuss here is how fast the Necro gun can drain health from you.

Also, detaching the Necro gun deals 2d3 damage to you.

About the necrogun it really depends of what you want it to be. It could be a BFG-like, backup situational wep or a good main wep you use in replacement to a chaingun for example. My idea was to make a good main wep, so low health drain and decent-but-not-BFG-like damage.

It's a bit themed with necro armor that also give speed boost and drain a low continuous amount of health to repair, altho my version may be a bit underpowered. Bigger speed boost, better damge, shorter fire time, 1hp instead of 2hp drain, are options to improve it ; also bigger clip or instant reload (no need to move a tile) but it's less fun imho :P

@ Melon : Your version takes way too much health compared that what it deals. To take down a major monster (vile, BoH, mancubus...) that got 60hp you'd need 30+ hp (more because they are armored) i.e. something like 70% of your health for only double damage of a pistol.

With SoB i'd rather use a chaingun. Your necro gun is 16 dmg per shot with SoB 3 (20 with necroarmor) and chaingun is 32 for 5 missiles. Difference is less important with armor tho bc it applies 5 times on chaingun, but still, for a weapon that drain life at such fast rate (~10% per shot), it's too weak. For 10% health, almost insta-death of a target is the price to make it useful imho.

I'd like to +1 these ideas i found in this thread : Boomrang, Translocator, the force-a-nature, and most long-range-only weapons suggestions.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Zi on August 20, 2009, 09:35
Dealing damage equal to merely two times the hp drained is definitely not worth it.  Taking a look at killcounts, in a typical win I probably deal over 10,000 damage (after armor!) while taking perhaps 1000 hp in damage.  Preserving your health is fundamental to surviving, so if you're trading it away for something, that something better be really good.

That's probably why I don't think a health draining gun would be appropriate as a main weapon, unless it drained at a very low rate (1 hp per 10 shots?).  Instead, it'd be a viable option if the player was in a situation and thought to him/herself: "Well, if I were to fight this out the usual way, I'd probably lose x hp, but if I used to health drain weapon, I might handle the situation well and only lose y hp to the health drain."  So I think a strong, fast single-target gun (to use against viles or other dangerous targets that could lead to major trouble), or a pretty strong area effect gun (to use against dangerous crowds that can really deal out the pain) would be useful archtypes for this weapon.

However, currently there already are weapons that fill these roles - whatever build you use, the matching weapon will be the fast strong single target attack, and the BFG9000 is the weapon to use against crowds.  So this necrogun will have to be better, to offset its downside.

I do think it's a good idea for a unique weapon, though.

Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Zi on August 20, 2009, 10:25
Well the +20% move speed is tremendously useful, especially on a permanent item like a weapon (i.e. not armor).

Maybe if the necrogun drained life with each shot, but restored it with each kill?  That could be interesting.  It could even lead to situations when players softened up targets with regular weapons, then switched to the necrogun to finish them off and even come out with more health than he started with.

Costs 1 hp to fire (0.5s firing time).  No need to reload.  Deals 5d5 (maybe a bit less) damage with radius of 2.  For every kill directly from the shot and its blast radius, gain 1hp.  Perhaps +3 accuracy.

That sound powerful with such a low firing time and no reload and low health consumption. Altho I like it. Need to be tweaked just a little probably.

1s base fire time is fine if damage is pumped up, or let it be but decrease damage by 2 pts or so (so it'd still 1 shot most weak monsters but be far less effective against bigger ones).

Edit : Well, thinking back, I like it as it is.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Arakune on August 20, 2009, 13:06
Although my idea, the GBE, sounds similar to the railgun it would only be one shot since it's a pistol. And the different power levels would do more damage for more of a health penalty on the user. Also, it destroys walls with it's bullets (continuous shot until it hits the end of the stage). I'm just trying to think of what ammo it would use....either Power Cells or self charging like the Blaster....

But over all I think the GBE would be a great addition with the game considering it's story and and usage.

I just need someone to make some stats for it cause I'm really bad at making balanced weapons and I don't understand damage dice. :(

Let's suppose you have SoaB 3 (but not Necroarmor - it'd probably be really rare to get two specific uniques in the same game)
2d2 = 3 average, so 6*3, 18 damage average, or 36 dps average
Now a regular vanilla chaingun with SoaB 3 - 1d6 = 3.5 average, so 6.5 * 5, or 32.5 dps average.

So compared to a chaingun, your weapon is marginally better (and yes the armor piercing adds a bit more too), but drains a rather large chunk of health.  Draining 1-4 health is actually pretty large, and the possibility of gaining 1 back doesn't offset the cost by much.

The way you've set things up I wouldn't even use it if I found it, a health penalty is a huge drawback, it needs a powerful benefit to make it worthwhile.  Furthermore, uniques are supposed to be superior to ordinary weapons, this one clearly is not.

And really, comparing it to a plasma rifle is the final straw.
1d8 = 4.5 average, so 7.5 * 8, or 60 average dps!
Even the new nerfed plasma at *6 is still 45 average dps, better than your design and with no health loss to boot.

How about instead of 1HP per kill, you get 20% of the monster's health per kill? So taking out, say, a wimpy former human (which is attempting to wield a BFG10K I bet :P) would give you 2 health, but taking out a mancubus would give you 12 HP for your troubles. Special reload would have you sacrifice two health to increase the damage dice by 1d1 (so 6d6, 7d7, 8d8 etc) at no time penalty, or would that be too overpowering? :P

It would certainly reduce the amount of med-kits used, especially in Hell. Killing a mancubus with the gun would net you over 20% of your total health back (with no points in Ironman). I'd say abit overpowered. I like the general idea about Necrogun though.

I don't know what the stats would be since I'm not really good with old school RPG attack formulas, but it would be incredibly strong and it has to be able to go through multiple targets just like in the manga. It could have multiple power levels too.

Beta Railgun's been upped to 8d8, making this totally useless, unless you wanted it to be something 10d8 (Bfg Level), which would be over-powered.

Unique shotgun ideas:

"The Hunter" - starts with stats of regular Double Shotgun but it gains stats/abilities as you kill monsters (i.e. killing BoH/HK could up the damage every X kills, killing Former Sergeants could reduce "range dropoff" every X kills, killing imps could increase speed, and so on...). Could be done 4 ways:
1)tie the increases to monsters killed that said game with this unique
2) as #1 but with any shotguns
3) as #1 but instead of this game tie this to player.wad and make it rise over several games (i.e. the more you find/play it the better it will be next game, also potentially alows for one of the abilities to be "increase spawn chance" :P)
4) as #3 but use staistics of all shotgun kills instead

"Old Faithful" - again D.Shotgun unqiue, low-level one this time. Have the stats marginally better than regular weapon, but add one ability: for every kill (or every X kills - adjust as needed for balance) you make with this unique the game would generate 1 shell next to you when you go to next level (up to a full stack) - I don't think I need to say how usefull this would be.

Oohh, evolving Uniques. I really loved those on Tome. They would track their own xp and level up gaining hit/damage/abilities. If you invested serious time on them they would become fearsome weapons.

Post by: Fanta Hege on August 31, 2009, 15:33
I've got few ideas.. However I do not know much about how the damage range and stuff like that works but eh;


The Crowbar
Pick up; "Someone dropped this in the wrong place.."

Damage wise similiar to chainsaw, maybe slightly less but more accuracy to make up for it.
However, I had an idea that this weapon would allow you to break down doors and some walls to give meeleers some ability to break stuff.

Origin; Half life ofcourse



Spur
Pick up; "Ready and perfected"


Your generic little pistol unique. Normal shots do a rather avarage damage, however, this one has a nice little special reload..
This gun has 3 special reloads, each that go by stages. The first one turns the shot into an accurate ray gun like shot, it however takes a while to charge up. Once its been charged up you can charge it up again, which doubles the effect. Afterwards you can charge it up a 3rd time that makes the shot even more powerfull, bit like a massdriver.. It however takes a big load of time to do so.
Also each special reload requires big load of extra ammonation, possibly even power cells.
This would ofcourse, be extreemly rare weapon due of the railgun like nature.

Origin; Cave story.



The UnMaker.
Pick up; "What the !@#%* is this!"


A projectile/railgun like weapon, more effective then the plasmagun but it also has a variable damage. The thing with this weapon is that it hurts pure demons a lot, tech demons some, and demon humans very little. This thing would be useless against former humans but very powerfull against barons and archviles and like wise.
Uses cell as ammo.

Origin; Doom64




The Ambassador
Pick up; "There are two sorts of men in this world: the sort with blood pouring out of a hole in their heads, and the sort holding the Ambassador."

Well then, another pistol unique. This weapon here is a very accurate, yet has a rather slow rate of fire. Bit similiar to trigun but with even more accuracy and possibly slightly more damage.
This gun can also be special reloaded for an aimed shot that is way slower but deals way more damage if it hits.

Origin; Team Fortress 2

The Naginata
Weapon that would seem to be archaic today. But still it is deadly. Mainly because you can attack enemies for greater distance. You are able to attack monsters that are two squares away from you (by one square I mean that the monster is right next to you). Damage the same as chainsaw, this should be made an unique weapon. If Kornel is interested, I can make a story and even a level behind it ;P

Just off the top of my head:
Assault shotgun with damage = You win in beta, now that shotguns do more damage.
Necroarmour with anything = You win.
Butcher's Cleaver with damage = Why bother picking up LS? (In beta, LS gives no armour.)
Nuclear Plasma Rifle with damage or accuracy = Plasma rifle that doesn't cost ammo.

The uniques would have to be toned down so that when you modded them, they became as good as they currently are.

Enemies hit by Degrader Gun are instantly transformed into weaker beings:

Arch-viles, mancubi, revenants, arachnotrons and pain elementals become hell knights.
Barons, hell knights, cacodemons, demons and lost souls become imps.
Former commandos, captains and sergeants become former humans.

Title: Re: New unique items

The limiting factor, I imagine, will be the fact that DG is not an AoE weapon, and the rest of the viles (and newly turned HKs/imps) will keep gleefully shooting you while you try to convert them one by one. Furthermore, you'll still have to kill them with your real weapons afterwards.

This can be further exacerbated by making DG a single-shot weapon, forcing a reload after each shot.

Uses Projectile type 17 with a radius of 0 (Single-tile green explosion) (That's 11 and 00 in hex)

Good for removing walls, not so good for removing enemies.

Yes, I can totally test in 9.8.10 this since it's like a pistol except for a few changes to how it works in memory.

Well, although the adding of features for this newly coming version is over, I'd like to add my two cents with a little suggestion of mine...

Bio Force Shocker.
Now this is a BIG fu***** sword...
Damage: 6d7? - Melee. However, you use up an energy cell each time you use it.
Special: Has the ability to 'shock' an enemy, randomly stunning them for a limited amount of turns (Maybe 1 or 2? I'm not sure). Alternatively, each time you score a hit, a 'shockwave' is unleashed, in BFG fashion, dealing reduced damage to enemies that are nearby.
Source: My brain, after having been through TVtropes way too much. (If you notice, Bio Force Shocker is a pun to Doom-related stuff. Its acronym is BFS (Big Fucking Sword(Although it works more like a taser, or a vibroblade, if you ask me)), and, in the Doom movie (Which I actually liked a bit (Hides from stones coming her direction)), the BFG is acronym for both Big Fucking Gun and Bio Force Gun.)

To be balanced, it should have 3 charges, up the health to 200% and permanently remove a single HP, IMO.
You know... A portable supercharge with a drawback.

I was thinking of something like 'restores health to 100%, drains 1 HP on first use, 2 HP on second, etc.'
No charges required, apart from your MaxHP.

(Too harsh? Maybe, but remember that it's a medikit, which means that it also resets your cautious/tired mode on demand)

Post by: oohhboy on September 24, 2009, 09:11
I would favor a "Stimpack" that raises your HP to 200% but you lose 200% (maybe 250%) health over time and it can kill you. It's a stimpack. It doesn't heal you, but lets you keep going until you can find some real medical attention.

Chaos Blaster - Weapon.  Fires a random amount of projectiles with random damage, accuracy, and area of effect.  Uses a random amount of energy when fired.  Projectiles and explosions tend to be in rainbow colors.

Icon of Chaos - Usable Item.  Reusable.  Everytime you use the icon it acts as if you had just pulled a random type of lever.

Freeze Ray - Weapon.  Deals no damage but freezes the target in place for a certain amount of time.  Unique enemies are immune.  Uses Energy.

Delayed Blast BFG - Weapon.  Fires a BFG shot that hovers in the target square for a certain amount of time before exploding.  Deals much more damage but can hurt you as well.

Few other ideas from good old Hexen;

Flchette. "Not drinkable"
Special little item that has a varying effect depending on your traits.
I'm not excatly sure what traits would cause it to do what I'm thinking it would have three effects;
Able to be made into a small pool of acid
Left there like a barrel, would explode after a while or on hit
Thrown like a grenade.

Damage would be similiar to a rocket launcher on thrown or barreled.
On pick up it would be a stack of 10 or so.


Chaos Device.

When used on an enemy/enemies it will teleport it/them randomly like it/they would've used a phase device.
Good if you're confronting an enemy on low health you wouldn't want to run into.

On pick up it would be a stack of 10 or so aswell.

Icon of Defender. "No time for chess"

Like a portable invulnerability, however, when you use it saps some of your life or max health. It also vanishes on use and doesnt last as long as a normal invulnerability.

Unless there is a drastic rewrite of the melee weapon code between 0.9.8.10 and 0.9.9, there is no way to make a wall-breaking melee weapon. Wallbreaking is a component of splash damage, and the only splash damage can be done is with a P-class weapon (meaning no Wall-breaking Shotguns, either)

I've checked.

Armor of Thorns - Offers mediocre protection but creatures hitting you with melee attacks take damage in return.

Mega X Armor - Bizarre armor that covers you in a (very) brief shield of invulnerability every time you get hit.

Heart of Carnage - One use item.  Eating it makes you berserk, much faster, and you regain health for every kill you score.  After the effect ends you lose a chunk of health.

Bloodfire Scourge - A gun that channels some of your life force into a damaging blast.  The projectile takes 10% of your current health and deals twice that much damage to whatever it hits.

Chainaxe of Khornel - High damage melee weapon that has a chance of instantly killing non-unique monsters. (Or some other nasty effect if that's already taken)

Blade of the Damned - A melee weapon that deals massive damage but summons lost souls everytime it connects.

AWESOME ^^'.

As for the Armor of Thorns... That's what I wanted the Power mod to do on armors.
Also - how about making this unique more badass (i.e.: competitive) and making it deal damage to everything around the bearer every turn PLUS additional damage for hitting him ? No, it's not  OP, firstly because I doubt a lot of people would willfully get surrounded and secondly because it would deal, let's say, 1 or 2 points of damage. It would basically make being surrounded by lost souls a little less painful. Also - we should name it something else... say - Lightning Armor.

Post by: Thomas on October 12, 2009, 00:49
All the unique shotguns (Plasma, Jackhammer and Assault) are variations on the COMBAT shotgun. Here's a couple of double shotgun/regular ideas I've been throwing around:

Shotgun Bayonet

Description: "Do you really want to waste ammo on those chumps?"
Attack time (Ranged): 1.0s
Attack time (Melee): 1.0s
Damage (Ranged): 7d3*3
Damage (Melee): 5d3
Melee accuracy: +3
Spread: Double Shotgun
Reload: 2.0s
Clip: [2/2]
Ammo: Shotgun shells
Special: Melee kills take no time, like butcher's cleaver.

Why?: Fun, mostly. Offers little strategic benefit for the dedicated shotgun user, unless the melee damage is buffed, but that would result in it being better than the chainsaw and we don't want that.


Name Pending (Based off Metal Slug's Shotgun)

Description: "The most effective of the peregrine falcons' famous weaponry. It cuts tanks to ribbons!"
Attack time: 0.2s
Damage: 9d4
Spread: Very short (Shorter than DShotty), reasonably wide. Damage does NOT dissipate over distance.
Reload: 2.0s
Clip: [2/2]
Ammo: Shotgun shells

Why?: Buffs Active Shotgun, as Passive Shotgun is all the rage these days. Could be implemented as an exotic weapon. Also gives shotgun users a "Wasteful but incredibly effective" alternative. Also clearly the best Metal Slug weapon.

The Shotcycler

Description: "Oh yeah, now you're gonna make some demons your bitch."
Attack time: 1.0s
Damage: 8d3
Spread: Normal Shotgun.
Reload: 2.5s, move-reloading only reloads one shell. You MUST load 6 shells at once if not moving.
Clip: [6/6]
Ammo: Shotgun shells
Special Fire: Chainfire. Fires all 6 shells at a rate of 0.5s, allowing you to individually aim each one. Aborting chainfire results in the clip being emptied.

Why?: Why not have a daikatana reference, huh?

You can say that about virtually anything and it doesn't help a lot.
An idea is only bad if it's:
A) not cool, fun and badass enough
B) not balancable
An idea doesn't have to start out balanced, that's not that it's for. It's meant to give you an idea of something nice that could be implemented. If it is NOT balanced - suggest how it can become so. If it can NEVER become balanced (a rare but possible occasion) - point out why it's most basic concept is intrinsically broken.

And remember - the idea doesn't belong to anyone. You can change it however you like and then ask people what they think about the modified version.

For Blink Armor?

Uhm, how many enemies don't have a splash damage attack?

Although it is ungodly powerful against any single enemy with multiple melee attacks per round. I'm pretty sure only Lost Souls and AoD actually lose out to this armor. Remember, the first attack in a round still hits.

It should also protect against a barrage of plasma bullets, IMO. This way it would have its uses (against arachnotrons, lost souls, commandos) but also weak points (I guess it would otherwise offer low protection, like 2/2 or even 1/1).

Former security officer:

"Now this one is a sneaky bastard. Be a man and drop that riot shield!"

Former security officers are like regular former human except for one thing. They carry a riot shield. If former security officer is shot normally (without aiming) then the riot shield takes all the damage, leacing the former security officer unhurt. The riot shield deteriorates as a green armour [100%] [1/1]. The only way to hit the bastard is to aim... so the best way is to kill them with a pistol-like weapon. While aiming, the riot shield doesn't take damage but the former security officer.

Also they are carrying Glock 30 pistol. It has a magazine of 9 bullets, deal 3d3 damage, has accuracy of 5+. Base fire time is 0,8 sec, reload 1,0 sec.

Ah yes, this is the idea I saw somewhere on the forum here...

The ultimate shotgun pistol! As any other unique pistol don't fit into non AoMr game. As GCB transforms AoMr into chaingun run, this transforms AoMr into AoSh. And if you manage to find 2 of this...Gun Kata makes you invulnerable.
Jesus, that guy DOES have a shitload of ideas...
Former security officer:

"Now this one is a sneaky bastard. Be a man and drop that riot shield!"

Former security officers are like regular former human except for one thing. They carry a riot shield. If former security officer is shot normally (without aiming) then the riot shield takes all the damage, leacing the former security officer unhurt. The riot shield deteriorates as a green armour [100%] [1/1]. The only way to hit the bastard is to aim... so the best way is to kill them with a pistol-like weapon. While aiming, the riot shield doesn't take damage but the former security officer.

Also they are carrying Glock 30 pistol. It has a magazine of 9 bullets, deal 3d3 damage, has accuracy of 5+. Base fire time is 0,8 sec, reload 1,0 sec.

Ah yes, this is the idea I saw somewhere on the forum here...
This, I like.

(vague agreeing with Melon's statement :P)

For my money, new monsters are fine as long as they fit in with the existing cast and don't actually replace or cause the removal of an existing monster and indeed, what was the commando (or "heavy weapon dude" if you prefer) in the original game simply became the former captain, while the commando became an HWD with a plasma rifle, something I have no problem with... And why shouldn't there be a few elite formers who are able to play with the big boys? Maybe there should be a former rocket trooper as well...

Anyway, I very much like both the "Shotstol" (though it desperately needs a better name (though the best I can come up with for the moment sadly is sawn-off shotgun)) and the former security officer ideas, though I think plasma and explosive type weapons should be able to "lance through" the shield, causing the SO to take half-damage since, well, let's face it, a former security officer being completely immune to a BFG shot or rocket explosion (the concusive force alone of a high explosive round is considerable) because of a little portable piece of metal seems a little hard to swallow...

Going back to the rocket trooper concept though, that actually gives me a different idea...

Former engineer:

This combat engineer's inventive mind sadly wasn't enough to save him from the demonic hordes... His brain (or what's left of it) now works for them...

Essentially, this former would manifest himself as a green or yellow "h" who would start off with no weapons at all other than punching and perhaps the same Glock the former security officer would use, but would be able to pick up and use any weapon he can lay his hands on (including uniques), meaning that the player could, concievably, find himself staring down the barrel of a nuclear BFG wielded by a former engineer... This would, however, necessitate the player being able to tell what weapon the engineer is carrying and would also necessitate some method by which the engineer could chose which of his carried weapons he'd like to use, all of which is perhaps too complex to be implimented effectively...

The former engineer should wield the best weapon in his hands, just as numbers tell:
CK->P->Sh->CSh->DSh->CG->PR->BFG->Chainsaw(they should be on Chained Court!);
As you all talk about unique formers, here take the new idea:

Former Scientist
Dmg:2d5*4(melee)
Inv:None;
Can it open door\use weapon,items: Yes(4 weapons at a time);
'Look' quote:'Did you thought they all are dead? This one has "survived".All his biological experiments  left a mrk on him
and due to tragedy he mutated. Fear him now, as he has 4 hands and 2 brains, full of thoughts how to kick your ass!'

Former commando is the single enemy from DoomRL that doesn't exist in Doom(1 or 2).

As for my scientist,H must be a sign,also might be a weapon user. Fierce enemy, like demon(pinky), and should attack you when he sees you, no matter his gun is loaded or no(charge!).

I meant vanilla as in vanilla DoomRL. And true the stuff you mention wasn't in original Doom but for some reason it's easier for me to swallow than the monster you suggested. Don't ask why, call me weird if you want it just is :P
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Midnight on November 04, 2009, 10:10
Personally, I'm against this idea, too. I see two major cons:

1) A monster like this would probably be in conflict with the rest of the game's content. DoomRL is quite an abstract game (for example, we have a trait that literally gives you ammo out of air). Security officer, on the other hand, is a detailed monster - adding him would break the level of abstraction the rest of the content operates on. Incidentally, I didn't like the inclusion of Pancor Jackhammer into the game as well, for the same reason.

2) Doesn't sound quite doomish enough (which is the reason we don't have assault rifles and the like in the game)

So, in my opinion, such ideas are excellent meat for mods, but do not fit well into vanilla.

So... what... you'd be OK with the Jackhammer if only Kornel were to change its name to "automatic shotgun" and remove all references to the Pancor Corporation, I take it? Seriously, that's a pretty dumb notion...

I think that monster is ideal for the Doomiverse. On a scientific-military like UAC you have soldiers, scientists and security personnel. You still have your level of abstraction, it's not the "Kyle, former high ranked security officer, contractor from Kamaz corporation ltd." it is just "former security officer". That's all.

Inventory Description: The name means "Big Sword". But there seems to be something else...
Damage:3d6
Accuracy:+2
SwingSpeed:1.2s

Special: The Daikatana "levels up" after dealing [1000/3000/5000/7000/10000] total damage. Each level decreases the swing speed by 0.1s and increases the amount of dice rolled for damage by 1.

(A max level daikatana would deal 8d6 damage every 0.8s)


Grenade Launcher
Exotic Weapon
Inventory Description: "Fuse time 2 seconds. Grenades will explode automatically on contact with flesh. Do not point at face. Keep out of reach of children."
Damage: 7d6
DamageType: Explode/Fire
Accuracy: +0
Clip: 1 Rocket
FireSpeed: 1.0s
ReloadSpeed: 1.5s

Special: If you don't aim at an enemy or fail your accuracy roll, the grenade stops on the ground (otherwise it explodes on contact like a rocket). It then explodes after 2.00 seconds. Enemies may safely walk over the grenade once it has touched the ground. Intelligent enemies may attempt to flee the blast radius.

The BFP - The Big Fucking Pistol

Because AoMr needs a use for plasma cells and a Big Fucking Pistol is more fun than a Plasma Pistol.

Stats, I dunno, maybe something like:

Dam:5d5
Spd:1.0
Rel:2.0

Explosions and stuff as the old BFG, hits where you aim and explosions hit everything and stuff like that.

Clip: 80/20 per shot

Basically, with a bulk mod you get 5 shots which should be enough to kill everything(at least with SoAGx3), the 4 shots without bulk isn't guaranteed to kill viles if my math is correct. Kind of like the BFG, the normal two shots you get doesn't usually kill everything but three shots you get with a bulk mod kind of does guarantee kills.

Also,
Drilling Tool [...] would be useful for storming the wall in AoMr/Sh/B... just for the e-peen or something?

At least for AoSh I'm pretty sure the Plasma Shotgun shoots through walls.(probably because of plasma piercing armour)

How about "BFHG" (Big Fucking Hand Gun)? Anyway, with some tweaking, I can certainly see this working as a kind of half-brother weapon to the anti-freak jackal. The BFP (or BFHG or whatever it ends up being called) would be to the BFG what the AFJ is to the rocket launcher...

I see devastator, I think the nuclear powered tanks in Dune II.

Since this is a unique, though, an average damage of 9 per salvo is pretty poor. Maybe make it 4d4? Although, since the splash is only radius 1, we may be able to get away with making it 5d4.

moddable with one area of effect weapon(shotguns RL and BFG) + usesone stack of the according ammunition

Id like to see some kind of ally for the player to divert fire and do damage.
The big question is if you should be able to pick it up again- id say yes.
But if we can use it multiple times it would of course be imba as hell, so here are some suggestions to weaken it:
-uses cells to operate
-has 10%(5%?- 15%?)chance to malfunction and also target player when down to 20 hp
-has x% chance to be taken over by vile attack-magic and EXCLUSIVELY attack player

Btw:this is not undoomish since its not a weapon but a piece of hi-tech equipment just like the thermie

edit:
holograpic projector

4-8 charges
projects an @ in your LoS that has a 30% chance of monsters attacking it instead of you

I think this would be better if it were streamlined and quite a bit weaker. 20-30 HP would be much more reasonable than 100, as it's basically a lightweight deployable turret, not a tank. The limited ammo and low health would make it pretty weak on its own, but would be great for backup or as a decoy.

While I don't really like the idea of malfunctioning or Vile control, it does give the idea of a new enemy in corrupted security systems, like surveillance hardware and turrets.

Freeze Sprayer - An energy weapon that shoots a cone of cryogenically liquified nitrogen. It deals moderate damage but stuns anything hit for a longer period of time.  It also turns lava into regular floor.  (I guess this isn't very Doomy.   Maybe it could be called Satan's Snowcone Maker?)

Special:1)Has 2 clips, for lava and acid;
2)When walks on a 'clip' terran, gun consumes lava and loads it into it's clip;
3)When loaded 150 ammo, it destroys.
4)When shoots, places a lava/acid on target;

Maybe an artifact, guaranteed to spawn in the lava pits. It makes an lava/acid a bonus, not a curse.

I'm sure this has been suggested before, but what about different ammo types?

Armor piercing rounds (obviously) reduce the target's armor when figuring out how much damage an attack did.

Hollow point rounds (or fragmentation rounds, or exploding rounds, etc.) increase the target's armor when figuring out the damage formula, but do more base damage.

Then of course, for different types of ammunition, like rockets, you could have like High Explosive for the extra damage, or Sabot rockets for the armour piercing.

Not sure how it would work for plasma, as plasma already does a lot of damage and already is quite effective vs. armor. Also, some may see this as "unDoomish" but then again most, if not all, of the unique items weren't in the original Doom.

Anywho, that's just my two cents.

Different types of shooting + different ammo = even more of damroll modifiers. IMHO.

Now, maybe this was proposed earlier, but:

Blink thing
Experimental scientific thing that allows you to teleport anything you see! Enemies, barrels, stuff... Youself. But don't forget - it is experimental device.
Firstly, it teleports things to random place (just as usual phase device).
Secondly, teleported object is damaged a bit, 4d3, for example. And teleport on lava or acid is possible too!
Thirdly, it uses many energy cells. Equal to distance between two positions (which is random) is many enough.

How to use: your way is blocked? Teleport it out! Blink thing brings in much more of randomness to the gameplay. Also it will be fun to teleport barrels. Because of damage they will explode! "This will be mess.", yes.

PS: ...and a soulcube-companion. Heh.

Point-shooting Shotgun

clip:1, shotgun shell.
reload:1,4 sec.
Sp.rel/fire:N/A;

Combination of shotgun and chaingun, like Grammaton Cleric Beretta.

0d1? Game-Crasher.
It will still only shoot once, since there's a maximum clip of one. The Multiplier is how many times it fires from the clip, not how many times it makes fire from one unit of ammunition.

Why does this remind me of the BeeBee Gun I suggested so many pages back?
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: bfg9001 on December 14, 2009, 12:18
I'm not even sure how much damage 0d1 does. What exactly is the result of rolling a one-sided die no times? Lol.

But if an automatic shotgun is what you're trying to suggest, isn't there already one in the game?
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: ZZ on December 14, 2009, 13:43
You feel like killing machine!
AAAAARGH, 0d1 ISN'T EQUAL 0-1!!!!!OMG!!!!

You feel more calm.

To be exact, it does EQUAL damage to shotgun, and ignores accurasy, but just no spread and gain benefits from TH. So it's really single-targeted shotgun, useful for shotgunners to become a chaingunner, like GCB transforms a AoMr to crazy chaingun run.

That sounds utterly useless to me. Why would I use that? I love shotguns BECAUSE they have a spread. Taking it away is taking away what makes a shotgun, a shotgun. If we had different ammo types, this could work, maybe, with slug shells, but otherwise, no. Just no.

Oh, and what IS 0d1? it sounds like 0 damage to me. it doesn't make any sense, because seriously, what does NOT rolling a d1 equal other than zero?

Nice try, but even I think this is just bad.

Riot Shield
Exotic Armour
Inevtory Description: These things are built to last! It's a shame it only works in one direction.
Protection Value:[6/6]
Durability:200%
4 protection at 100%, 2 protection at 50%, destroyed at 0%.
Speed Modifier: 20% slower
Knockback Modifier: 50% less knockback

Special: The last direction you fired or moved in is also the shield's "direction". You get full protection in that direction, half protection in the two directions adjacent to it, and NO protection in the other 5 directions.

eg. If the player's last action was firing at something NORTHWEST of them:
Code: [Select]
630
3@0
000

Static Cannon
Unique Weapon
Inventory Description: An odd weapon. It doesn't seem to have any way of inserting ammo, just two metal handles.
Damage: 1d7*5
DamageType: Normal
Accuracy: +2
Clip: 10
FireSpeed: 1.0s
ReloadSpeed: N/A

Special: Every time you give DoomGuy a move command, 2 bullets are added to the clip.

Killing Gloves of Boxing.

"My fists, they are made of STEEL!"

Damage: 7d4
Swing speed; 1.2

Special; Each kill you make gives you a chance to go berserk, if you allready have berserk trait, it increases the chance further. If the enemy does not die, it will receive knockback similiar to that of shotguns.

power fist sounds great!
exotic weapon
uses 1 cell per punch directly from inventory
7d4 sounds ok
appears after dlvl 10-12
alt fire will use, lets say 4 cells , takes 1,5 secs to swing and asks you to confirm destination of knockback of 2-3 squares like this:[color=][/color]

                 ===
                =X=
                  X   B@
                  X

i think the optional knockback feature will make it obviously interesting for players of N! difficulty or to piss of viles.So it will still be worthy to keep prepared after getting LS with
8d8.
please comment about balancability and gamebreakishness


edit: I hereby oficially approve of the one unique suggested by ,err, someguy on like page 10 or so in this thread: the Lasergun from contra/metal slug.He he everytime you shot it in Metal slug your guy had an extremely evil grin on his face and his hair stood up straight.
Also i continue to throw out half baked ideas for uniques while hoping that at least one of my suggestions will make it to the new version.Ill donate soon, i SWEAR!

M203 grenade weapon Pack

damage 10d2 or 4d4
fire time 1,3 secs
uses rockets-blast radius 2 squaares smaller than RL
reload time 1,6 secs
when attached to any weapon itll remove its alt fire and alt reload abilities so it can be operated.(ohno! i cant shoot only one shell anymore from my dualshotty!noooo!)

Spider mines
obviously ripped from SC
comes in packs of threes
damage 6d6
when deployed , mine will burrow and lay waiting, also provide player sight of deployment area in an 4 square radius.
if monsters step near 3 squares of it, itll unburrow and suicide into enemy with blast radius of 4 squares
this weapon maybe undoomish but its just a continuation of my ideas for uniques that divert fire from the player.Passive- aggressive tacticaluniques we might call em.
Spider mines may also work as exotics found after d lvl 16
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: drugon on December 17, 2009, 01:39
Maybe "The Guyver - Bio-Booster Armor"? Armor with high level protection (no less than 4), high regenerative ability (no less than 1hp per move or to 2% per move) and bonus to speed (at least 20%). It can be destroyed, but regenerate by itself and player can't die while it not destroyed. Disadvantages: can not be dismounted and when it will be destroyed (also there can be little possibility of hitting of control module, in this case armor destroying instantly), it will fast kill it's owner. For example - 1hp per turn or 2% per turn. To make it not so brutal: after 100hp or 200% destroyed Guyver stop hurting it's owner and disappear. So, if you have some medkits or if there will be health globes (megasphere or invulnerability globes) near you, it can safe your life.

I actually really like this idea. It'd be a helluva lot quicker than switching to your RL, even if you have it prepared or something like that.

it may be "umDoomish," but then again so are pretty much all of the uniques and exotics and such. So that arguement goes out the window.

I have no problem with the idea itself, but when you bring up the "unDoomish" being invalid, it made me think of something.

Early on, "Doomish" was very important for ideas, but as Kornel decided to add new things outside the canon, the game got better. Now, no one cares.

Let's strike a deal.

Those who care about "Doomishness" and those who don't should mutually agree to never bring it up again. I'm tired of the arguments about it, and tired about arguing for it. Let's also agree that this doesn't mean that the flood gates are open, If an idea is bad, it's bad. If it's good, and enough people want it in, well then, it should be kept in mind.

Boom-stick
'Quite literally'

Damage: 9d9
Accuracy: n/a
Firing Time: 1 second
Clip size: 1 rocket
Reload time: 4 seconds
Damage type: fire

What is it? Quite simply- rocket shotgun. It fires a huge explosion, in a ideal cone shape:
Code: [Select]
############
 ##########
  ########
   ######
    ####
     ##

It is insanely powerful, can break down walls, and would be hell lot of fun to play with- seeing half of the screen exploding in fire is nice. However, it's very long reload time makes it a bit impractical... But with Shottyman, it as powerful as Jacky.

I don't know if I'd describe it as a rocket-shotgun; that would imply that it fires out multiple rockets in a conical pattern, which would be kinda' cool as well.

Interesting idea, though. May need some balancing... 9d9 seems rediculous.

Yep, I am fully aware of that. But heck, some uniques are clearly not balanced... and they are still fun. Also- it can be given few drawbacks, apart from the insanely long reload time- like knock-back to player (just like the cannon in the BerserkRL) or damage fall-off, similar to the double shotty one.

type:   armor
Protection:   1
Durability:   100%
Move Speed:   +100%
Knockback:   +0%
Gives you an ability to float over acid and lava (like Cacodemon or Pain elemental).

Vampiric set of false teeth (Vampiric plate?)
"Oh, come on! Do you really think, that this thing will give you vampiric abilities? Or..."
type:   melee weapon
Damage:   2d5(?)
Accuracy:   +1(?)
Alternate Fire:   N/A(?)
Restore 2% (or maybe 1hp) of health every time you hit an enemy. Maybe paralyse enemy on 10 turns if your hit him.

It can give some kind of bonus with Vampyre trait.

Hm, in this case maybe alternative fire while you holding DS will activate canon (and alternative reload will reload canon). Does prepeared weapon stay in its slot when you will equip DS? Also, this canon was actually arm prosthesis. So, it can be requirement to wield this weapon (health<10% or 5hp). And, like Cybernetic Armor, you won't take it off.
Title: Re: New unique items

Arm Cannon

9d9 blast damage, in one of the chosen direction.

When wielded, automatically goes into prepared slot, reduces HP by 10 and is cursed (never leaves the prepared slot). You can normally wield other weapons, but no swapping possible.

Is a set item with the Dragonslayer, however may only be wielded BEFORE the Dragonslayer.

Automatically activated by ALT-FIRE (the existing alt-fire of the weapon wielded is discarded), and reloaded with a rocket by ALT-RELOAD (same as above).

Special; Upon weilding this armor, your health will start to drain by 1 per every x second. This drain however can be stopped/slowed down when you're on berserk.

Terror Sphere.
Unique

Upon used, this unique power up will add a 'fear' to your enemies. Each time enemies are in your sight radious, they have a 50% - 75% chance of skipping their turn as long as the power up is active.

Lasts for 150 - 300 seconds.

Fusion Sphere
Exotic

Upon use, this very rare sphere(rarer then megasphere!) has the effect of two other random power ups chosen from the following; Armor shard, Megasphere, Invulnerability, Berserk, Super charge. Meaning it can grand you for exsample; Invulnerability with berserk, or 200% health with berserk, or 200% health, armor, boot fix with invulnerability etc...

I have a suggestion about difficulty level and uniques. Maybe in AoB, AoM and AoSh suitable unique weapons should meet more often on easier difficulties? More melee weapons (less other weapons) in AoB, more pistols (less other weapons) on AoM, more shotguns (less other weapons) on AoSh. Cause I played AoSh about 10-15 times and didn't find any unique shotguns (well, I didn't find them yet at all), but found minigun two times.

@bfg 9001:
adderall is just a common brand name and is used for ADHD treatment and such.
However its highly addictive and the effects of overdose or allergic reactions will be fatal if your body/heart/brain cant take the dosage.
Thats the reason why i called the suggested in game item injector.Think of it as a combat stim-pack for UAC marines and not of the 3mg pill you will get prescribed by your doctor.Of course the name doesnt mattter that much, but the effects on the human body I described in my previous post are pretty accurate.Because Doomguy is widely acknowledged to be a badass type of guy hell  most likely be spared by the unwanted side effects, but losing too much health  and so on would increase the inital low percentage.And -Amok is actually a desired side effect which could be guarranteed to kick in if having used the injector and then using inv globe.

More melee weapons (less other weapons) in AoB, more pistols (less other weapons) on AoM, more shotguns (less other weapons) on AoSh. Cause I played AoSh about 10-15 times and didn't find any unique shotguns (well, I didn't find them yet at all), but found minigun two times.

Wouldn't really be a challenge if the game made it so your restrictions weren't really restrictive at all.

Even on easier difficulties?
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Frankosity on December 25, 2009, 06:29
The very point of a challenge is to restrict or hinder a player in some way, making it harder than a normal game. Altering loot tables to give challenge players an easier time contradicts the point of even undertaking the challenge in the first place.

 It's just a question of numbers. This could be balanced. I just don't see a reason of giving to player absolutely useless uniques.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Frankosity on December 25, 2009, 17:02
I'm not sure you're getting the point.

The point of a random loot table is that it's up to chance whether you'll get something useful or not. Part of the difficulty in a weapon-restrictive Challenge is that all but a single class of weaponry is unavailable to you. This is a vital aspect of the challenge. Messing around with loot tables so a weapon-restricted challenge player is more likely to get their respective Win Button would be missing the point womewhat.

 But don't you think, that challenge for now is more random because of that? Just as I said earlier, if you find another minigun, this will be useless. But if you get Pancor Jackhammer...

Of course it's random. That's the point.

Although it's gone off topic somewhat, I'm gonna' have to agree with Frankosity on this one. Just because you're playing a weapon-based challenge it shouldn't be more likely that you'll find that type of unique. It's balanced the way it is.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Madtrixr on December 27, 2009, 04:01
Look, drugon.

It is a roguelike game.

Roguelikes are random.

If you get a unique that doesn't fit your challenge, tough. You just press on and hope for better luck.

At first glance, it seems like a great idea, but it might make it TOO easy, and if I say it's too easy, it might be too easy. (that's starting to become less true with time though.)
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: drugon on December 27, 2009, 05:19
Well, uniques are rear things. So it can be that you won't find anything sometimes. As I said earlier, challenge can safe it difficulty, if uniques will be rarer while play it. On the other hand, current situation don't seems to me irrational. Cause, I think, one of the main feature of roguelikes is sneer of the player. "Alright, this AoSh I will definitely find Jackhammer or Assault Shotgun. OK, there is something really valuable here. Oh, come on baby, come on!.. F**k, F**K! Minigun! AGAIN!!!". ^_^
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: bfg9001 on December 27, 2009, 12:02
Returning to the matter at hand...

I think an interesting addition to the uniques would be the Bolter type weapons from Warhammer 40K. They're fully automatic and fire armor-piercing mini-rockets that explode within the target. Better still would be the "Storm Bolter," a double-barreled fully automatic variant.

It'd be a pain in the ass to balance these sorts of weapons, and would seem somewhat out of place in the game, but it'd be pretty cool to try chain-fire with a massive attack of miniature exploding rockets :)

The poweup crate (Exotic)

appareance: ^
it has a random power up inside but also have very bad stuff if you are a bad luck guy

List of powerups found in the crate:

Speed upgrade: your speed is increased by 5% (uncommon)
Firepower upgrade: All your currently weilded (also applies the weapon in prepared slot) weapons get a upgrade of its damage (Ex: 2d4 upgrade to 2d5) (very uncommon)
Chemical proof: you are now invulnerable to acid (it dissapear after go to the next level) (common)
Fire proof: like the chemical proof but now protects you from the lava (common)
Iron curtain: you get an invulnerability globe (uncommon)
Armour upgraded: All your current weilded armor and boots gets a protection upgrade. (uncommon)
BFG9000 crate: Extremely rare... you get a BFG9k
Kamikaze crate: you get a thermonuclear bomb attached in your body... if you die the thermie explodes in the current level that you are in and there is no time limit so don't worry :P. (very uncommon)

And now the bad stuff:

Bomb crate: The crate explodes and you get 25 hp damage (also applies to every enemie who gets caught in the explosion) (very uncommon)
Biohazard crate: The crate explodes and release a very large pool of acid... deals 8-13 damage. (the explosion not the acid) (common)
Firestorm crate: Like the biohazard one but this release lava.... the explosion deals 13-17 damage. (uncommon)

Regarding the questions recently about new ammunition, I'm hesitant myself. While it technically wouldn't be hard to code in, having specialized ammo for just one weapon is folly if you actually want to use it. Unless it comes with a clip of 30, and each kill with that weapon is a guaranteed ammo drop.

Personally, I would prefer to think about using TWO ammo sources already in the game instead of adding another.

Staff of the Arch-Vile.

Resurrects a corpse of your choice within LoS.  Makes you tired.  The resurrected monster will fight other monsters, will not attack you, and will generally try to follow you/stick near you.  Will not follow you down the stairs.  You cannot give it commands.  Resurrecting a monster costs HP:
Former human, sgt, imp, demon: 5hp
Captain,  Cacodemon: 10 HP
Hellknight, Commando: 20 HP
Baron of Hell, Mancubus, Arachnotron: 50 HP
Arch-Viles, Pain Elementals, Revenants, Uniques:  Cannot be resurrected.

The effect I was more getting at was that reloading whatever it is would consume more than one type of ammo, and that said ammo could not be unloaded. I'd personally rather have to carry more of the ammo I love around, than some ammo that will only be useful if I get a certain unique to spawn.

Also, combining rockets with stuff would certainly help with getting rid of those annoying rockets dropped by Mancubi.

Special: it can eat infinite number of mods. Every 4-th mod decreases power of mod, but increases chance to spawn a mod. If fire time gets below 0.25 sec/shot, weapon transforms into *4 rapid fire weapon. If chance to hit gets upper +24, agility mods work like a power mod. If dmg gets upper (n)d10 it transforms into (2n)d4.

Another roguelike reference item: AoLS. Not the "Amulet", but the "Armour of life saving"!

It has stats equal to blue armor ones, also it is unmoddable and exotic.
How does it work: when damage decreases health below 0, then player gets 100 health and message: "Your armor of life saving starts to glow and disappears! You feel yourself better now."
But be quick! Monsters can pick it up too. "Baron of hell suddenly arises from his grave!"

RPC-14
Damage: 5d6 per second, maximum of 5 seconds
Accuracy: +3
Clipsize: 1 (starts empty)
Firing time: 1 second
Reload time 3 seconds
Fire: Fires a Rocket powered chainsaw at the target. Continuously chainsaws the target until it dies. However, since theres only one chainsaw (currently) You will then have to retrieve your chainsaw from the corpse)
Reload: Reloads the RPC with a Chainsaw and a rocket.

Universal Ammo pack
Essentially a reusable device that when used, turns all of the selected ammo type into a varying amount of Nano Ammo;
1 bullet = 0.5 NAs, 1 Rocket = 5 NAs, 1 Cell = 0.75 NAs, 1 shotgun shell = 1.5 NAs
Any gun can then use NAs to reload, however, the exchange rate back is double what the exchange rate to  (ie, a rocket launcher could reload with 10 NAs, which is 2 rockets worth of NAs)
NA stacks in 50s, meaning it is not space efficient, but does mean that ammo types useless for your guns can still be used (ie, ammochain characters could turn all that useless 10mm into rockets or cells for use in the BFG)

My two cents.

Artefact of Hammerspace
Thought the Backpack was cool?  This rare artefact uses experimental fourth-dimensional technology that converts your inventory such that each slot stores exactly one type of item with the potential of storing an unlimited number of them.  For example, if you had 3 slots of 10mm ammunition x100, Artefact of Hammerspace reduces them to one slot of 10mm ammunition x300.  Note that if you consume all the items in the item slot, it is removed as per normal.  Due to the limitations of such experimental technology, objects thus accumulated must match stats exactly -- so a Blue Armour [90%] will not store in the same slot as a Blue Armour [91%], though two Blue Armours [80%] each will appear as Blue Armour [80%] x2 in the slot.

Linked Chainsaw
Wielding the Chainsaw from The Chained Court is fun, but what happens when you find the exotic Linked Chainsaw?  You can then wield both the Chainsaw and the Linked Chainsaw and do double the damage that a normal Chainsaw does.  Even if you don't have the Chainsaw that when you find this baby, you can dual-wield it with other melee weapons and make use of the linked form to deal serious amounts of damage.

Damage: 4d6 + Damage of prepared melee weapon.  If no weapon or non-melee is prepared, just does 4d6.

No. We can just say the Super Shotty is to the Double, what the Assault is to the Combat.

An upgraded version of a regular weapon that has a name sort of suggesting an upgrade. (thus fitting nicely into the idea of exotics.)

I think the Super Shotgun is a good idea, but we really need more Melee exotics, and this is coming from someone who doesn't care about Melee.

Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Thomas on January 23, 2010, 18:41
Well, (as I said the FIRST time I suggested the super shotgun idea) I made it to fill two niches:

Inefficient but effective shotgun (For two shells, 9d4 is pretty lousy damage)
A double-shotgun based special weapon (Jackhammer, Assault and Plasma Shotgun are all based off the Combat Shotgun)

The current "Double Shotgun" is nothing like DooM 2's "Super Shotgun" anyway, hence the name.
The double shotgun of DoomRL's main drawback is that it has a long fire time in which you must stand still like a moron, whereas in DooM 2 (and with this exotic weapon) the fire time is absolutely nothing, but it does less damage to compensate.

I think the Super Shotgun is a good idea, but we really need more Melee exotics, and this is coming from someone who doesn't care about Melee.

...really? We already have 3 if you include the chainsaw.

Besides, it's hard to make melee interesting. The only two melee weapons I can think of that would actually force you to change the way you fight are:

Plasma Sword
Exotic Weapon
Inventory Description: You need a description? It's a SWORD made out of PLASMA. Duh.
Damage: 9d9
DamageType: Normal
Accuracy: +1
Clip: 100 plasma cells (Attacks cost 15 cells)
FireSpeed: 1.0s
ReloadSpeed: 2.0s

Altfire: Costs all 100 cells. Slashes out an energy wave that damages all enemies in a line, like the railgun. Counts as a melee attack for most intents and purposes, but does not get a damage bonus from berserking.

Unholy Scythe
Unique Weapon
Inventory Description: Killing stuff is easy, it's getting back in to combat position that's hard!
Damage: 13d6
DamageType: Normal
Accuracy: 0
Clip: N/A
FireSpeed: 2.0s
ReloadSpeed: N/A

Altfire: Smacks someone with the blunt end of the scythe. Does half damage, but only takes 1.5 seconds.

PRE-POST EDIT:
Cobalt raises another good point. The LS is already the end-game weapon of choice, so these weapons are balanced to be better than the LS... but only in some situations.

Here's a few things I brainstormed, most of which doesn't have a decent name or description yet, and balance is probably a bit off too. I glanced through this thread but I don't remember everything, so there might be some similarities to other stuff.

Three melee exotics:

Sledgehammer, or Maul, or what have you
Exotic Weapon
Inventory description: A very heavy metal hammer. Put your back into it!
Damage: 4d6
Damage Type: Physical
Accuracy: +0
Clip: n/a
FireSpeed: 1.0s
ReloadSpeed: n/a
Special: Has knockback comparable to a point-blank double shotgun blast.
Not necessarily your primary weapon, but could be useful for knocking baddies into lava or getting some breathing room when somebody gets up in your face, maybe juggle a rocket launcher out afterwards.

Shiv
Exotic Weapon
Inventory description: A small knife, ideal for holding in one hand.
Damage: 2d4
Damage Type: Physical
Accuracy: +0
Clip: n/a
FireSpeed: 1.0s
ReloadSpeed: n/a
Special: Stick it in your prepared slot and you get a free attack with it every time you attack an enemy in melee range, even if you use a ranged weapon. This attack occurs before your primary weapon's. If in your weapon slot or you attack without a melee weapon, you take a swing with you fist and the Shiv.
For a non-meleer, it can help buy a little breathing room when monsters get in your face. With a melee build, it helps you tear through enemies even faster and increases the chance of berserking with time, at the cost of reducing the chance of berserking per enemy.

Quick Knife (seriously terrible name)
Exotic Weapon
Inventory description: A knife so finely balanced you could probably fillet a charing dinosaur with it.
Damage: 2d5
Damage Type: Physical
Accuracy: +0
Clip: n/a
FireSpeed: 0.5s
ReloadSpeed: n/a
Special: none
It just hits fast, making Brute and SoB add up fast. One level of Brute takes it above the Chainsaw against unarmored opponents, and it's good for cutting through packs of weaklings without being as potent as Blademaster.

Other stuff:

Bolide
Unique Weapon
Inventory description: Less explosive than regular rockets, but just as deadly.
Damage: 5d5, radius 1
Damage Type: Fire
Accuracy: +5
Clip: 2 rocket (uses 2 per shot)
FireSpeed: 1.0s
ReloadSpeed: 2.5s
Special: No knockback. Fills the blast area with lava.
A safer, portable, miniature napalm barrel. Create moats, destroy corpses, or lay the hurt on trapped enemies. Completely useless against cacodemons and such, plus it's an ammo hog and dangerous to reload under pressure.

Ablative Armor
Unique Armor
Inventory description: Designed to shed its outer layers rather than melt, keeping you cool even in a plasma storm.
Protection: 3
Durability: 100%
Move Speed: -20%
Knockback: +0%
Special: Treats fire damage as shrapnel damage. Treats plasma damage as physical damage.


Mirage Armor
Unique Armor
Inventory description: If you didn't know where you were, you'd swear you were over there.
Protection: 2
Durability: 100%
Move Speed: +0%
Knockback: +0%
Special: Monster projectiles get -2 to-hit against you, no penalty against other monsters. Arch-vile and Revenant attacks have a good chance (20%?) of targeting an adjacent square; when "You dodge!" the attack can't center on your current square, either.

Devil's Eye
Unique Item
Inventory description: A gooey eyeball you found on the ground. It appears to ogle disconcertingly when you squeeze it.
Special: It's 'u'sed from your inventory like the Hell Staff, and tires you out. It shoots out a cone spread like a double shotgun, and all in its path lose 1/3 of current health, capped at 20.

phaseshift 'set'? Like, wearing both the armor and boots will do that?

Either way, I don't think acid and lava are such a big deal that it would be an "I win" button.

Yes.  Acid and lava can get in the way if you like using AoE weapons, or if you are fighting many Mancubi at the same time -- they wreck the room you are in pretty badly, and if you have barrels around -- have fun.

But more importantly, ability to cross acid and lava pools open up new tactical possibilities that can make use of the greater manoeuverability that allows better cover against cretins that fear to tread on those tiles.

Inv. Description: I hope they aren't cursed! (Nethack reference)
Protection: 0/0
durability: N/A
Move Speed: 0%
Knockback: +50%
Moddable: No
Special: When worn, you can walk over acid and lava without taking damage, since you're floating over them.

Uh, no. Not for both acid and lava. There is still such a thing as convection. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConvectionSchmonvection) If it's only valid over acid, I can handle that.

I'm not sure if uniques that are, for the most part, largely detrimental to the player will be very popular.

I have a question, is it possible to make globe-style uniques? If so:

Shell Bullet powerup (Scryed reference)

When this powerup globe is picked up, it transforms your fist into the Shell Bullet.

Shell Bullet

Melee Weapon
Description: "More... MORE POWER!"
Damage: 6d7
accuracy: +0
Alternate Fire: Uses Shell Bullet, an attack with 10d10 damage, but can only be used if cautious, and tires the player out afterward. Can destroy walls.
Other special notes: Deforms one arm into the shell bullet, thus permanently consuming one weapon slot, so you can only z-switch between one weapon and the Shell Bullet.

Clearly you've not seen the Necroarmour yet... nor the Cyberarmour...
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: ChaoticJosh on February 22, 2010, 04:36
Actually, I've gotten both. The necroarmor is very useful if you're in an abundance of hp, happen to hoard medkits, and make strategic usage of globes with badass.

Also, the cybernetic armor atleast has the redeeming quality of having 8 damage reduction, the highest of all the armors in the game. You just need to get lucky finding the armor repair globes. Plus, in the unlikely event of finding an Onyx Armor Pack, the Cyber Armor becomes the best armor in the game hands down.

If I were to look at the spiky boots, I'd have to say that I'd never pick them up. It would be the type of unique that I'd pick up, and then immediately drop just so I could have registered to have picked in up in the mortem. They have less foot protection than plasteel boots, they give a negligible spped increase, and the life sapping mechanic with the nonremovable bit makes it sound like it would be much more trouble than it's worth. It doesn't have any particular quality that a serious player would consider exploiting.

Now, if it had a major redeeming quality of some sort (besides just being friendlier to the unlikely AoM player), then I think it'd be a better idea.

The design of the spiked boots is really for this one challenge: completing the Lava Pits on AoMs.  The thing about this challenge, or at least, as far as I can understand it, was that Kornel wanted AoMs to block environment suits.  So should he do that, it'll probably be nice to have some other means completing that.

And you are right that no one in their sane mind would use the boots in a normal game.  Unless of course DoomGuy is a true masochist even in normal games.  (=

Well that's stupid.

The boots are totally useless except for one challenge.
Except they're useless then because they offer less protection than plasteel boots.
Except even plasteel boots are sub-optimal, because Kornel does not want to make AoMs block envirosuits, as it does not have healing properties.

Post by: BEEF on February 24, 2010, 20:19
Designing an item that's only useful in one extremely rare circumstance is a waste of time, and of a unique item. 99 times out of 100, you'll have no use when it comes up, and when you do need it, you can't rely on it coming up. But hey, painboots.

Needle-Soled Boots
Description: Mind-searing pain can be a powerful motivator.
Protection: 2
Durability: 100%
Speed: +0%
Knockback: -25%
Special: You lose 1 hp when you put them on, and 1 hp every 50 turns (5 seconds) afterwards. You gain 1 effective level in each of Hellrunner, Finesse, and Reloader. These effective levels do not affect trait selection in any way and go away when you remove the boots.

Something a little more serious

Stim Armor
Description: Armor with an adrenaline pump? That seems like overkill...
Protection: 2
Durability: 100%
Speed: +0%
Knockback: +0%
Special: Increases berserk countdown by 10% (berserk packs give 55, Berserker gives 22). When damaged, there is a chance (5% per durability lost) that you go berserk for 20 rounds. When destroyed, you go berserk for 20 rounds.

Something a little less serious

Security blanket
Unique armor
Description: It doesn't matter how dirty or tattered your Binky gets, you love it more than ever!
Protection: 3
Durability: 100%
Speed: -10%
Knockback: +0%
Special: Instead of decreasing when damaged, the Security Blanket's protection increases, to 5 at 49%, and 7 at 24%.

And something too silly to mention but I'm going to mention it anyway

Lost Soles
Unique boots
Description: You found a couple of lost souls asleep on the ground, and you tied them to your feet for some reason?
Protection: 1
Durability: Unlimited
Speed: +50% (or +100%, whichever one means half movement cost)
Knockback: +0%
Special: If one or more enemies are in vision, you must end a move closer to the closest enemy or else you get the message "Your boots balk!" and instead of a speed bonus, you have a -50% speed penalty. If you try to remove them, you are prompted "Really free the lost souls? Y/n" and if you choose Y, the item is destroyed and two lost souls are spawned adjacent to you.

Yeah, I bet you hate that lava, acid, and other bad stuff. However, activating this highly advanced technology will cause millions of nanobots to flood into the surroundings and make the environment more hospitable to humans.

There has to be some way to put the Eyelander and the Chargin Targe in...

Unique
Description; HEADSHEADSHEADSHEADSHEADS
Damage; 6d5
Damagetype; Normal
Accuracy: 0
Clip; N/A
Firespeed; 1.5
Reloadspeed: N/A

Special;
Upon weilding, you will lose 5 of your max health.. however;

part 1/2 of close combat kit.

The Charging Targe
Unique

When weilded, it will automaticly take the slot of prepared weapon and stay there.
Special; You will become half immune to all blast damage, but only half. Fire angel will override this.
Also you will gain alt fire to your current meelee (unless it has its own specific one allready) which allows you to charge 1 - 6 squares to a direction of your choice if there is an enemy near by. Charge deals extra damage depending on the leng charged. 1 -3 squares adds 35% more damage and a 4 - 6 squares charge deals a devastating double damage. Charging will tire you out after use.

Part 2/2 of close combat kit.

If Eyelander has spawned on a game, the changes of finding Charging targe increase significantly and visa versa

The Equalizer
Unique
Description; Ain't got time to bleed!
Damage; 3d4 - 4d4 - 4d5 - 5d5 - 6d5 - 6d6 - 7d6 - 7d7 - 7d8 -8d8 - 9d8 - 9d9
Damagetype; Normal
Accuracy: 0
Clip; N/A
Firespeed; 1
Reloadspeed: N/A

Special; The more hurt the user becomes, the more damage this weapon deals and increases the speed of the user. Starting with measly 3d4, raising up to deadly 9d9 when the user is almost dead. Speed bonus start at wounded raising to 30% when almost dead.

The Gun Without a Bang (from Robert Sheckley's novel)
Unique
Descr.: It's silent and deadly.
Dmg: 15d1 (Stable. I don't know why.)
Dmg type: Plasma.
Acc.: +2.
Clip: 30 EC, 3 per shot.
F.sp.: 0,8.
R.sp.: 1,5.

Staight-shot disintegrator. Destroys walls. Shooting at barrels and other stuff makes it (stuff) disappear (without any explosion), because of disintegration! Also, no sound.

Alt-fire: it is so heavy, that you even can use it in melee combat!
Dmg: 4d4.
Dmg type: Physical.
Acc.: +3.
F.sp.: 0,6.
R.sp.: 1,0.

Actually, gun that is useful even without ammo.
Title: Re: New unique items

It's a gun that's slightly better than a combat knife in melee!

Anyway, I have another one:

Punisher (Resident Evil 4 reference)
Unique Pistol
Damage: 2d4
Accuracy: +4
Base firing time: 1.0
Base Reloading time: 1.1
Alternate Fire: Aimed shot
Special: While seemingly only like a slightly better regular pistol, the punisher, like the railgun, will shoot through enemies, and the bullet will continue travelling along it's path and hit any monsters behind them. It can do this for several monsters in a row.

The Retaliator
Unique Hammer
Damage: 4d5 physical, or plasma/fire (see below)
Accuracy: +0
Base attack time: 1.0
Alt. fire: N/A

Pickup quote: The hammer is hot and tingly to touch.
Inventory quote: Vengeance is a dish best served painful.

Special: Charged by taking plasma or fire damage. Every 1 point of damage you take while wielding the hammer adds 1 point of damage to the next blow you deal with it. The damage type of the charged hammer is decided by the type of the last attack absorbed. If more than 20 points of damage were absorbed, the hammer begins to self-discharge by 1 point every 5 seconds, damaging you at the same rate, until the damage bonus drops back to 20. Un-wielding the hammer discharges it, dealing you the full damage stored: "The hammer discharges!"

Special: Adds 2d5 damage to your melee attacks. When you are hit in melee, deals 2d5 physical damage to the attacker, modified by both Brute and Son of a Bitch.

Shock Armor
Unique armor

Protection: 4

Damage: 2d5
Accuracy: +3
Maximum range: 4 tiles
Fire Speed: 1.0s
Alt-fire: Does 3d6 damage to single target no more than 2 tiles away at fire speed of 1.5s

This is essentially the Melee fighter's ranged weapon.  Useful for new tactical opportunities and improves survivability since there's a new way for the melee fighter to take on foes that are just a tad further away.

Damage: 6d6

Alt Fire: Lengthens the fuse on the grenade to 16 tiles before detonation.
The grenade launcher is almost identical to the rocket launcher with one major distinction. Grenades can be bounced around corners, ricocheted off walls, and fired at other crazy angles, allowing the player to make crazy trick shots.

Blast Radius is given as a linear number, not as a square array, because the outer part of the blast is exactly R tiles away from the impact point. Other than that nitpick, I'd lock the radius at two and change the damage to 7d7 instead of 8d6.

The Kill Gloves of Boxing
Exotic Weapon
Description: I am coming to beat your ass!
Damage: 5d6
Accuracy: +2
Fire Speed: 1.5

That's horrifically strong with Berserk. I say this since, as you probably already know, being in berserk status doubles the physical damage you do, so with this you're doing quadruple damage while berserking... You could probably take out Cybie in two hits flat in a Max Carnage run while berserking and the timer still going.

You're totally right. I wasn't thinking too much about balance, just modeling the TF2 weapon.

Then again, the random number god would never be so kind as to allow such a combination!

Mournblade
Unique

Inventory description: The black blade hums slightly, demanding blood.
Base damage: 4d5
Base attack speed: 1s
Special: When wielded, the blade grants you the same benefits as the Vapmyre master trait (similar to how the Butcher's Cleaver does for Blademaster). However, as long as you are in melee range from an enemy, any move action you attempt is replaced with a melee attack action towards the nearest enemy, preventing you from running away and forcing you to continue fighting regardless of your judgment. Phase devices still work normally.

Unique
10d10
Ammo: 10/10 shotgun shells (uses them all in one shot)
Firing time: 1s
Reload: 4s
Alternate fire: N/A
Alternate Reload: N/A
Special: This guns is massively powerful, shooting out a torrent of death whereever you point it. However, the recoil from this gun is so intense it will knock you back 2 squares whenever you fire it, and then needs a 4 second reload. Also, seeing as how it's not a shotgun, cannot be quickloaded with shottyman.

Syrinx Axe
Unique
What could this strange device be...?
Base Damage: 7d5
Base Attack Speed: 2s
Special 1: Hits the targeted tile (at regular power) and the two tiles that are both adjacent to it  and perpendicular to Doomguy's line of attack (their armor is +5 for this).
Examples:
Code: [Select]
<X>
.@.
...

Code: [Select]

Special 2: Gibs if it deals more than 30 damage on an attack. Yeah, I know, it makes AoMC a lot easier on N!. So what?

Gammatron Cleric Katana
Unique
Hey, if we have the pistol, we might as well go all the way.
Damage: 6d7
Speed: 1s
Special: If you keep the Katana in the reserve while using the Gammatron Cleric Beretta, it's treated like you have the Juggler trait -- you may switch between them instantly, and you'll automatically use the Katana in melee.

Riot Gun
Damage: 6d3x5 (30-90)
Speed: 1.0 Sec
Reload Speed: 2.5 Sec, one shell per reload
Accuracy: Shotgun, Spreads less than shotgun.
Clip: 20 (Unloads 5 shells per shot.)
In-Game Description: Might be a bit unwieldy, but 20 shells in the tank doesn't lie.

Eats shells like candy, doesn't spread as much as a shotgun, but does a ton of damage, and serves as a slight in-between between the Chaingun and the Shotgun.

My very own take at ultra-hiper-deadly-super-killy-shotty piece of weaponry.

The Randomator
Safeties? I need no safeties!

Damage: 1d200
Clip: 5 (uses rockets as ammo, takes 5 per shot)
Splash radius: 5
Firing time: 0.1s
Reload time: 1 second per rocket.
Damage type: Fire
To-Hit: Special. You do not choose a destination firing the Randomator. Instead, every time you fire this bizarre piece of tech, a huge explosion is created in random point of level. This can be out of LOS, or in LOS or even on a top of DoomGuy. Since this weapons is very destructive and powerful, if somewhat random one, it can be as deadly for player as for his foes. And overusing it is a sure invitation to suicide. And it shines with Fireangel.
In-game description: 'Strike the bell, bid the danger. And get obliterated today!'


Emergency Teleporatation Device
'Warp out!'

Looks like hell staff- lime ?. Can be used only if player is cautious or running, and tires him afterwards. It allows to telporatate to any tile, picked by player, using normal targeting methods. It can be used to jump beyond LOS. But, should the player teleportate onto a tile that is occupied with a wall... Then he dies, he knew the risk after all. Same goes for spaces occupied with enemies. So, it is very powerful and insanely risky piece of equipment, that can save life, or give a very amusing YASD.

Omni Launcher
A gun that launches anything in your inventory a short distance.  Deals moderate damage and destroys the item if it hits anything but, if it doesn't, the item lands safely.  In other words, it facilitates long distance gift dropping.

Plus, there is a 10% chance of instantly killing that monster every time you hit it.

Damage: 4d3
DamageType: Normal
Accuracy: +5
Clip: 6
AmmoType: Bullets
FireSpeed: 1.2s
ReloadSpeed: 2.0s
First Pickup Quote: "Go ahead, make my day."

Necronomicon
One-use item, probably either
-drains the life from all nearby monsters and heals you up to 300%, which will decay as normal, down to 200% for Badass.
-draws power from all corpses on the level, and heals you the same way, or possibly makes you invulnerable (mortuary anyone?)

Since the Butcher's Cleaver is in there...
Hellforge Hammer
\
Damage - 15d4
Inventory description - The hammer of Hephaestus, said to shatter the very soul of evil.
Pickup - The power of hell flows into your hands.
Acc - + 6
Firespeed 1.8s
Normal fire - smash a foe with the hammer
Alt-Fire - Shatter the very earth! Aim it like a normal weapon, causes damage (less than attack) in a line, and turns the tiles struck into lava, including walls, tires you out.

Found in a unique level perhaps, the Hellforge - You must defeat Hephastus (a powerful melee-baron), and can choose to either shatter the hellstone *, and gain some random loot, mostly upgrade kits (for non-melee chars) or keep the hammer.

Thought there should be a second chaingun-based weapon, so harrup:

Flechette Gun
Exotic weapon
Description: Death by a thousand needles.
Damage: 1d3x9 (1d3x3)x3
Damage type: Physical
Accuracy: +3
Clip: 30 x 10 mm ammo
Firetime: 1 second
Reload time: 2.0 seconds
Alt-Fire: Chainfire
Special: Fires 3 shots for every bullet consumed. Each level of Triggerhappy increases the number of shots fired by 3, Firestorm mod by 6. Each bullet does damage three times, as indicated in Damage.

Pretty weak without Son of a Bitch, and even with that maxed out revenants and the Cyberdemon will be tough to crack. On the other hand, enemies with less than 4 armor will take wicked amounts of damage, especially if you power mod it.

Erm... I do not understand. Are you saying that this is (1d3x3)x9 (three shots per one bullet?). If that's true, it does not deal wicked amounts of damage, it deals INSANE amount of damage. Without tri and SoaB which turns this thing into ultimate machine of Doom, Death and Destruction.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: BEEF on April 06, 2010, 07:21
Nah, using that notation it would be (1d3x3)x3, but I thought that implied it fires only 3 shots, each of which does damage three times, like some kind of double-Jackhammer or something.

It uses 3 ammo, but fires 9 shots, each doing damage once.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Gargulec on April 06, 2010, 07:31
Ah, then it is pretty balanced. But still, with Tri2 and Soab3 it deals damage faster than plasma rifle.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: BEEF on April 06, 2010, 07:53
Well yeah, it's an exotic, so it's supposed to be better than the standard weapons. Otherwise, why would an Ammochainer use that, ever? Plus, you'll still get a nasty surprise when it turns out a baron was wearing red armor.

Also, on second thought it probably should fire three shots that hit three times each, if only for the sake of sanity when watching the animations.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: BEEF on April 06, 2010, 14:55
Thinking about it some more, the flechette gun has enough going for it that it doesn't have to be better than a plasma rifle. If it did (1d4x3)x3 shrapnel damage, it would do a respectable 26.25 damage to a monster with 2 armor, and a floor of 15 damage isn't too shabby either. On the other hand, unarmored monsters have few enough hp that they'd die in one hit. With 1 armor, it would average 52.5 damage, enough to take down a hell knight in one volley, or up to two demons if you're lucky.

Here's one I was toying around with:

Nuclear Plasma Shotgun
Unique
Clip size: 12 (uses 3 per shot)
damage: 8d3 (same as Plasma Shotgun)
Alternate Reload: Overload the reactor, causing a nuclear explosion.
Description: Like all nuclear weapons, this one replenishes it's own ammo as time passes. Can't be manually reloaded. The regular plasma shotgun is an exotic, while this is a unqiue, so I think that'd make up for it's improved usefulness.

Also, Looking at the exotics and uniques list, I realize that there's exactly ONE melee unique, the butchers cleaver, and no melee exotics. This is bothersome because exotics were implemented precisely to combat the aggravating lack of uniques that would fit any particular run due to RNG cruelty, but melee lovers were left in the dust apparently. I think there should be atleast one melee exotic to make up for this unfairness, maybe one of those suped up combat knives that were mentioned earlier.
Title: Re: New unique items

Actually, you may want to re-check those lists. There's more than one unique melee weapon.
Title: Re: New unique items

Well... Chainsaw is considered an exotic, and Longius is a special dungeon reward. There are lots more uniques of other types which drop more. I've seen the Cleaver once ever, on a Shotgunnery run, straight after beating AoB.

I wanted to say that a jar to pick up and hold onto a powerup for later would be awesome, but you're right.  Carrying an Invulneurability Globe would make some things way too easy.

I don't think a rare, one-use item that acts like a portable Megasphere would be unbalanced. Or even a portable invincibility power-up. Sure, it would make the Cyberdemon a cakewalk, but for every player who successfuly used it on Cybie there would probably be five who died with it in their inventory because they were saving it for later.

A jar that lets you collect powerups would definitely be unbalanced, though.

Not sure how I feel about a portable Megasphere, but a portable Supercharge would probably be alright (A super medkit of some sort)

I think the pistol exotic/unique ratio is a little imbalanced.  Anti-freak jackal ought to be dropped down to exotic status so the awesome referenced pistols can stand glorified.  Here's my idea for another one.

Pistol Unique: Hades
Gotten from:  The Anime "Black Cat"

Desc:  A beautiful pistol made of orichalcum.
Damage: 3d5
Base Fire time: 0.8s
Accuracy +8
Alternate fire: Railgun.  Fires off a shot similar to the railgun (8d8 travels through targets) but makes you tired.

With regards to the powerup jar idea, do you guys suppose it could work if it were a unique (that is, rare and only one per game at most) and only worked once?

Boots? That would be very unbalanced. These boots will grant you automatic Full-win. You just pump-up yourself with health, approach the Cybie, put on the boots and you do not need to dodge his rockets anymore. Not to mention what happens when you get to JC. He can summon even 1000 BoH and this won't help him.

If such unique item would exist, it would certainly have to be a normal armour. Boots only get damaged on hazardous surfaces.

I know that I shouldn't doublepost, but I think this is a neat enough idea that it deserves a new post.

Mod Gun
Exotic/Unique, undecided.
Damage:    Starts at 1d6
Accuracy:    Starts at +0
Base Fire Time:    2.0 second
Base Reload Time:    2.5 second
Clip Size:    6
Ammunition:    10mm ammo
Alternate fire: None
Alternate reload: Removes Modifications
Quote on pickup:    "What the hell IS this thing?!"
Ingame Description:   A somewhat gun-shaped device that looks like it has all sorts of slots for modifications.

Special: Attributes for the gun are determined by what modifications one puts on it.  Starts off with 5 mod slots, Whizkid gives standard mod slots for a maximum of 9 slots.
Power Mod: +1d6 Damage each mod, tops out at 4d6, 3 mods.
Agility Mod: +2 Accuracy, tops out at +6, 3 mods.
Bulk Mod: +2 Ammo Size, tops out at 12, 3 mods.
Technical Mod: -.3 Firing Speed, tops out at 1.1, 3 mods.
Firestorm Weapon Pack: Gives x4 Chaingun-style, allows Chainfire.  More Firestorm Weapon Packs added on increase the multiplier by x2.  Technically unlimited amount of mods, but how many of these are you gonna find?
Sniper Weapon Pack: Gives 100% Accuracy.  More Sniper Weapon Packs give levels of Cateye.  Technically unlimited amount of mods, but how many of these are you gonna find?
Nano Pack: Gives Ammo Regeneration.

(Damage Calculations:
4d6 at maximum damage. 4-24 Damage, Normal Damage.)

Lupara
Exotic
Damage:    (8d3)x3
Accuracy:    Shotgun
Base Fire Time:    1.0 second
Base Reload Time:    2.0 second
Clip Size:    2
Ammunition:    Shotgun Shells
Alternate fire: None
Alternate reload: Dual-Reload (If Dualgunner is Allowed)
Quote on pickup:   "From the Old Country."
Ingame Description:   A completely sawed-off shotgun.  Wieldable in one hand!

Special: Can be used with the Dualgunner trait, Gun Kata capable, Shottyman Capable.  Acts otherwise as a Double-Barreled Shotgun who thinks its a pistol.  Absolutely mind-numbingly devastating if used with two, but that probably won't happen except in Ao100 games.  Cannot use Mods, the guns are minimized too much to accept modifications.

(Damage Calculations:
24-72 Damage, 48 Average. 48-144 Damage,  96 Average with Dualgunner, however, armor points half damage due to Shrapnel Damage, and has DBS range, rendering it far less effective out of close quarters.  It will pretty much eat people close up if you have two, however.)

Unique armor
Description: You will feel my pain.....
Protection: 1
Durability: 200%

Description: A prototype medical armor. It is intelligent and will heal it's wearer when he is damaged.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: thelaptop on September 29, 2010, 05:28
Medic Armour sounds like a cool idea, but a 2/2 without scaling from damage to durability seems a little overpowered to me.

Maybe keep it at 1/1 instead?
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Fanta Hege on September 29, 2010, 09:21
2/2 is decent, otherwise it really wouldn't have any combat potential and it'd pretty much chew itself out and kill you in the first mancubi encounter..


Though I doubt anyone would wear this for anything other than turning armor shards to health.

Well, it will be third time for this weapon, but we need another shotgun unique. Beware of mighty... Tetragun! (Quadruple shotgun sounds worse for me. Also, hello, Trigun!)

Damage: (5d5)x6/30-150
Average damage: 15*6*0.9=81 (point blank)
Damage type: Shrapnel
Accuracy: 0 or N/A (by the way, that how it should be marked in the next version)
Base fire time: 1.0 second (uses 4 shells per shot)
Base Reload Time: 2.5 seconds
Clip Size: 4
Ammunition: Shotgun shells
Alternate Fire: 1.0 second (uses 2 shells per shot; damage is (8d3)x3, just like double-shotty)
Alternate Reload: Loads two shells (1.25 seconds).
Quote on pickup: One! Two! One-two-three-four!
Ingame Description: Once upon a time we used so much barrels to hunt ducks. Someone thinks that demons are far different?

Comments: let it has super shotgun damage dropoff. Let it has a double shotgun spread. Let it has damage over BFG 9000 (well, it's still shrapnel) and reduced ammo in crazy rate. It's insane and unique!

Jackhammer shoots burst of 3 every turn and has longer fireing and reload values. Might be similiar to that of jackhammer apart that this is faster and has more control to your fireing.
This would be upgraded assault shotgun with an alt fire that makes one big blast for triple damage and "jams" the gun for the reloads.

This gun would basicly be useful for fast damage when you're surrounded for many direction. Where as Jackhammer would basicly be useful for one direction of extreemly damaging and pushbacking direct damage.

Don't know about stats. But the idea is: instead of normal knockback we have reversed, just like from imp fireballs. Less distance - more of reverse knockback!

Imagine that gun, a firestorm mod, 50 rockets and mortuary.
No survivors.


Also while we're at it..

Devastator
"When one missile just ain't enough"

Damage: 4d5
Accuracy: +1
Blast radius: 3
Firetime: 1.5s
Reload time: 1s
Magazine; 9

Fires 3 rockets at a time, lowering accuracy for each and a change to slightly off to otherdirection.

Alt fire; Explodes the other 2 rockets prematurely giving the first rocket +3 to accuracy, 5 extra damage and a powerful explosive trail... which will also hurts the user.

ElectroMagnetic"waver"
"Out of all the things you can find.."

Damage: 2d2
Damage type; Plasma
Accuracy: N/A
Firetime: 1
Reload time: 1s
Magazine; 50, uses cells.

Fires a electric wave infront of the user up to 6 tiles, with a spread of 3 - 5 tiles damaging all enemies hit. The special thing to compensate for the weakness? It can pierce walls without damaging the walls themselves. Each shot costs 5 cells.

Alt reload consumes 25 cells and causes a shock wave to all directions with same power and length.


And now for something completely different

The DemonologyPhysiologisticsTachyonCompasator
"...You lost me"

Damage: ???
Accuracy: ???
Firetime: ???
Reload time: 4.
Magazine; 100, uses cells.

The most weirdest thing you ever picked up. Instead of fireing anything, this weapon fires what ever you last got hit by! Consuming 5 ammo.

Should use the Alt fire you will find all corpses within 2 tiles of you to explode with a power of a fuel barrel consuming 20 cells.

Should you use alt reload you will find yourself in a completely different place in the map, consuming 70 cells.

Firing time: 1.0s
Clip size: 2 shotgun shells
Reload time: 2.0s
Damage: shrapnel
Alt-Fire: Fire Single barrel
Alt-Reload: Reload Single barrel
Description: The preferred weapon of the greatest warrior ever known in the fight against the army of darkness, this hunting shotgun inflicts double the knockback that one would expect ... gotta love seeing them tumble like rag-dolls. Groovy.

Edit: I made a pitiful attempt of making this in the sandbox. I don't think the current engine has base modifiers for modifying knockback modifiers (aside from the damage) ... like it does with the armor's knockback reduction. I think this might be scriptable, but I'm not yet comfortable with lua or the engine's hooks. I also struggled with the weapon flags, as to which combination would produce the primary and alternate fire and reload actions to emulate the double shotty, but I'll still submit what I have here for the sake of completeness.

Ignore the stats and flags, just the game text ... I was hoping for something with a little more damage than the doubleshotty, with a little bit tighter spread, just wider than the combat shotgun.  (not quite so much damage as the super) That and double the knockback effect per damage as other weapons.

Quote from: Myself, a month ago
An exotic/unique that increases dodging would be pretty cool, but if we did get one then we'd also need a regular item that does it. You can't just say "Oh yeah active defense is a possibility on Nightmare! now that we have a 1 in 50 shot at getting the Ninja Garb"

Ninja Garb
Exotic Armour
Description: A comfy, stealthy suit. It really is easier to dodge those fireballs with this on.
AC: 0
Durability: 100%, roughly the same 'HP' as blue armor
Move penalty: +5% (that is, you move a tad faster)
Special: Increases the chance of your sidesteps working by 10% (additive, so 50% becomes 60%)


Purple Armor (I guess 'Kevlar Jacket' or something would work?)
Regular Armour
Description: This stuff is even less protective than your standard-issue equipment! Although, it does look good for getting around quickly.
AC: -1
Durability: 100%, roughly the same 'HP' as green armor.
Move penalty: +10%
Special: Increases the chance of your sidesteps working by 5%


White Armor (I don't know a good GRITTY REALISTIC TOTALLY NORMAL name for this one)
Regular Armor
Description: The sides of the armor seem to deflect attacks. Perhaps that will make dodging easier?
AC: 1
Durability: 100%, roughly the same 'HP' as blue armor
Move penalty: -10%
Special: Increases the chance of your sidesteps working by 10%


Jetpack
Unique Armour
Description: You've been trained not to run while shooting. They didn't say anything about flying, though.
AC: 0
Durability: Invincible
Move penalty: +30%
Special: Every time you do a non-movement action, you move in a random direction anyway. This forces you in to 'running mode' forever even if you're tired and unequiping it will make you tired.

EDIT: Added 'White Armor' to the post as a more midgamey alternative to 'Purple Armor'.

Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Stormlock on November 13, 2010, 23:38
Hmmm, some ideas:

Monkey Claw
Unique Weapon
Type: Special
Damage: (67d1)
Spread: None, but auto hits what you aim at, like the Revenant rocket launcher.
Firing time: 0.0s (Yes, really)
Clip size: 5 fingers.
Reload time: N/A (Cannot be reloaded)
Damage: Plasma
Alt-Fire: None
Alt-Reload: None
Description: Seems dangerous. Better be careful how you use it...
Special note: Imparts juggler when wielded, so swapping back from it when it's empty doesn't waste any time.

Damage is high enough to kill a Baron in a single shot, but not an Arch-Vile (Though it'll be damned weak.) A cool and very useful item to have, but won't change the rest of your game the way the most powerful uniques do. 0 firing time means it's useful even if you're surrounded, as long as you're willing to burn through your shots or can switch quickly and just need to take out a key enemy.

---

Elixir

Type: Exotic Consumable

Grants Supercharge, 3 turns of invincibility, and 10 turns of berserking. For when you need to take on 40 barons at once with your bare hands.

Description: Just like that flask dad hid in the grandfather clock...

---

Asura

Type: Unique Melee
Damage: (8d5)x1/x2/x3
Firing time: .5s/1s/1.5s
Damage Type: Normal
Alt-Fire: Switches modes between single strike, double strike, and triple strike. Takes no time.
Description: Painful to hold. A frightening sword not of this world.

Special: Drains 1 HP per strike. Increases movement speed 10%

Was inspired by SaGa Frontier and the Grammaton Cleric Barretta. Would be nice to have a unique melee weapon you wouldn't necessarily use for every swing after you pick it up, and switching modes is fun. Technically does more DPS than any other melee weapon. Of course, it has it's drawback.

---

Sat. Linker

Type: Extreme Artillery

Damage: (12d12)
Spread: Radius 12. Or one, for alt fire.
Accuracy: +6
Firing time: 0.0s
Clip size: 50 cells.
Reload time: 4.0s
Damage: Plasma
Alt-Fire: Snipe shot, hits a tiny area target, uses 12 ammo instead of 100.
Alt-Reload: None
Description: Seems to be some sort of artillery targeting system. That's odd, it's showing everywhere you point it as a valid site.

Special: Ammo drains entirely if you don't fire it immediately after loading it. In other words, you have to reload it from a position where you can fire it from. Of course, if your target walks in at just the right time or you can fire it blindly into the distance, it's practically a certain kill on a massive scale. Unless something kills you while you reloaded. Intuition 2 would sure be handy. And reloader 3 would almost make it not suicidal to fire at an enemy that can see you. Almost.

Post by: Deathwind on November 14, 2010, 00:06
Those first three sound ok but the last one...

I think the monkey paw thing should be able to kill a vile as one of it's wishes.

The elixir's invincibility should be 5 turns, berserk for 15 (as there is a overlap), if that's too strong make the effect a large med kit.

Asura could be abused for move speed with juggler in a non-melee game.

Your version of an up-link cannon doesn't make sense in an underground base, looks like it was designed for style not function, and doesn't even hold enough ammo for it's std fire.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Stormlock on November 14, 2010, 00:58
Forgot to edit it back when I was toying with how much ammo it should use. Normal shot should be 50 ammo.

And obviously, the satellite simply blasts through all the floors above you. Well, it makes at least as much sense as invincibility orbs anyways. But you're right, it's easily the poorest suggestion of the group. I just had the idea for a weapon you need to wait stationary before firing like that and couldn't think of anything else that fit that premise.

Balancing the elixir is really tricky. Invincibility lets you plant a nuke without having to find the powerup, and berserk on demand is pretty much a free kill if it lasts long enough and you have a chainsaw, especially if it supercharges. The basic function is kind of like the monkey paw too: helps get through those horribly sticky situations, like certain special levels or just using your last phase and ending up in a room with 2 viles and 4 revenants.

Abusing the Asura with juggler seems like a fair trade considering you'd be getting a trait that otherwise is doing nothing for you while blocking off your swap weapon.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Deathwind on November 14, 2010, 15:13
Any invincibility that you can carry will do that so how about just 30 turns berserk and a supercharge? It fits the decription better anyway.

Juggler is almost free with an ammochain build and they mostly use hotkey weapons anyway so no drawback.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Stormlock on November 14, 2010, 15:41
I suppose. I was thinking of Marksmen and Shotty games, since you're weapon restricted there. Any time you can use ammochain you might as well use the thing to hack shit up anyways. Could add a health cost for swapping onto it too. Just 1-2 hp would probably be enough. Alternately, make it drain 1 hp every second or 2, so it's something you'd only want to whip out for combat. Juggler would make it useful for meleeing without weilding it then, but you couldn't abuse it for movement so easily.

The fire through walls thing is good but I think that a radiation weapon should function as a directional burst, ignoring accuracy and having drop off for distance, not a machine gun like volley. I'd say shotgun spread with double shotgun drop off for initial tests and adjust from there.

I'm honestly shocked no one has come up with grenades yet, they could be found in packs of 4-5, throw like knives and 2-3 seconds later explode with radius 2.

I think that grenades have been suggested, but the mechanics of how to implement it in the context of a rogue-like have not been fully explored.

But since we have asynchronous display updates, I can foresee this as being a possibility.

Sister (perhaps, elder) of Thermonuclear Bomb. Destroys everything living (and undead), but leaves all the items, walls and stuff. Same 5000 damage, but more careful. So, needs to be more rare.

I'd rather have more crowd-control weaponry. I suggested the Bee Bee Gun a long while back, lemme refresh it. I just had an idea to make it much more practical.

Bee Bee Gun
S-Class Weapon
Assault spread
Clip Size 16
Damage: As assault shotgun
Alt reload: Full Reload
Alt fire: (4d1)x16


This way, you're not wasting entire stacks of Shells against one or two lesser enemies, and it can still have its 16 damage burst for when you've got a ton of weaker enemies or have shells to burn. It's still painfully wasteful, though.

Now, I need to do some research into the Former Whatevers in order to find out what the minimum damage for the Golden Gun would have to be in order to be a one-hit kill on them...

As a comparistion, I think you could as well just take a slightly muscled-up rocket launcher and take 2d6 dice. Rule is, if you get 6 on both, you are ALLOWED to hit the enemy. Just seems kind of... weak to me, and that's an understatement.

You feel uneasy...

Yes, this is the ultimate weapon of death - if you use it on targeted monster in your LOS, it's dead instantly. Though is has only 10 charges! (Or maybe 1 charge which is replenished after you kill 13 monsters - needs to be in prepared slot to count deaths, and doesn't work on Cyberdemon or JC ofc... or does it? Mhwhahahah).
Other technical things: It works even if you use it over obstacles - It's like pin-point accuracy, you just need to have monster in LOS.

IMO considering it would be kinda rare, 5 shots wouldn't be op.. On higher difficulties/floors you encounter hordes of monsters anyway, so It would be used rather on Viles as you say... Maybe it should have increased fire time so it wouldn't be so easy to use it?

It's probably better to look at it from a per-shell perspective. Since (I assume that) you're using seven shells per shot, given the clip size, it's going to be (1d7)x7/7, which is just 1d7 = 4 average damage per shot, per shell. And, since armor reduces each hit, this thing would be hard to sell on lower floors.

Since the range of the normal shotgun is 8d3 = 8-24, you may want to go with something like 1d40, which has a great average damage per shot but low reliability. It'd be great for the Cyberdemon (since you're going to end up using a lot of shells on him anyway) but you'd want a more normal variant against packs of weaker enemies.

Crossbow
exotic
Accuracy: +3, with +3 per Eagle Eye instead of +2
Damage: 3d6
Ammo: holds 1 quarrel
Reload: 1.5s

Pistol Crossbow
exotic (counts as a pistol)
Accuracy: +5, with +3 per Eagle Eye instead of +2
Damage: 2d6
Ammo: holds 1 quarrel
Reload: 1.0s

Autocrossbow
unique
Accuracy: +3, with +3 per Eagle Eye instead of +2
Damage: 3d8
Ammo: holds 5 quarrels, fires 1. needs to be pumped like the combat shotgun (a step or reload)
Reload: 0.5s to load a quarrel, 0.5s to pump. (an empty weapon would need both a reload and a pump)
Alt-fire: fire all quarrels, 3 seconds, with an accuracy penalty (-3)
Alt-reload: full reload, 2.5s.

Whenever a Quarrel hits an enemy, it gets added to that enemy's inventory.  If it misses, it appears on the floor.  The first time you pick up any crossbow, you get a stack of quarrels (10).

Alternately, half-life's sniper crossbow could be neat.  But there are a few auto-hit weapons already, and my main motivation was the idea of being able to recover your quarrels; molten steel doesn't make for good recovery. :)

I'm really not sure on the damage of these, could be too high or too low.  Their main drawback is the inability to keep shooting, like the shotguns but moreso since you'll never have many quarrels.

In every in-game case, having a weapon that comes with the "x" (for instance, chaingun with (1d6)x4) means that x shots are fired (in my previous post I meant seven shells per burst, sorry). Usually, this means using up that much ammo, as well (double/super shotgun is an exception with three bursts and two shells). The only difference between 1d7x7 and 7d7, ammo aside, is the effect the attack will have on armor.

That said, if you want a shotgun that effectively deals 7d7 per shell, I'd call that way too overpowered. 1d49 would probably be random enough to be balanced, though, given the damage scaling.

To address all concerns regarding the bubblegum:

You do know that 1% of HP is a half a hit point, yes? You start the game with 50 HP unless you take Ironman for your first trait. And we already have an Angel Arm effect on the Trigun, and that's already an anime reference. Angel Arm cuts 5 HP from your total, so that's a 10% drop if you're invuln, first use, and not used Ironman.

And before we call Raging Heart girly, let me remind you that Yuuno Scrya, the ultimate Defensive Mage within MSLN, was its previous owner. I don't think he cared about it, though.

Consider this: Animes provides with an enormous source of possible weapons/items to implement, many more than those FPSs can give. After all, most (If not all) of the FPSs in the world actually use the same weapon standard implemented by Doom, that is: Pistol, Shotgun, Rapid-firing weapon, heavy weapon (Be it a rocket launcher or a mortar launcher or a sheep launcher, they fulfill the same functions), energy rapid-firing weapon and a heavy energy-powered weapon. Leaving aside the last two (Because they are mostly restricted to futuristic FPSs), this model was used over and over and over.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Frankosity on February 14, 2011, 08:08
But... why do they have to be Anime references? You can suggest new stuff without it having to be a nudge-nudge-wink in-joke. It's just filling the game with stuff that a lot of people won't understand and, I suspect, will put others off. A weapon from an anime about magical girls is kind of going against the whole flavour and mood of Doom.

The Berserk stuff isn't too bad because it's pretty much an easter egg considering how hard it is to find and esoteric to actually use. Personally, I find the Trigun and Jackal to be a little much to all be in the same game together.

Plus, there is something to be said for a small, focused class of weapons. I'd rather have a limited selection of solid guns that have their own tactical purpose and modification potential with a handful of high-powered variants (like we have now) than a hundred magic anime guns that focus the power of Heart or whatever happens in Mahou Sensei Musical Magic Dongleberry Star 3.

Maybe someone should use the Valkyrie library to make AnimeRL.

In-game Description: "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise."

Accuracy: -2
Base Fire Time: 0.8 seconds
Base reload time: 1.5 seconds

Alternate Fire: Single Shot - normal damage, accuracy +3, no spread.
Quote on pickup: I dunno.
Reference To: Star Wars


If negative accuracy can't be done, the entire point of the weapon's pretty much lost, but it could be changed to +0 accuracy (Plasma Rifle and Chaingun are both +2) with damage changed to maybe 1d10.

Stats:

Accuracy: +0

Damage Type: Physical
Special Features: Heals 1 HP per action. Enemies know where you are, because you're holding something they learned to fear and rage against in an angry mob (No pitchforks, thankfully).

Going for a unique not based on... pretty much anything. Only the HP Regen feature was based on Excalibur and it's magical sheath but, pretty much, the rest is an invention of mine. Basically, it should act like an upgraded version of the Butcher's Cleaver, having high attack, but not as high as that of the LS or the DS. The healing effect was left at 1 HP to not make it too much of a gamebreaker.

Inventory Description: When all you have is a hammer...
Special: Chance to stun enemy == current HP% (where stun = enemy misses next action)

I think the attack speed of the Mourning Star is where this will be balanced best; the damage is better than a shotgun and there's a chance to stunlock enemies (Naturally, unique enemies should be immune to this, or at least highly resistant). The drawbacks? It's slow already and you have to be in melee to use it.

As for pointless references...

It's a good idea, but unfortunately I think any kind of costless HP renewal is game breaking. there's nothing to stop you finding a safe place after every fight to get your health back to maximum. Although, one way to balance that could be that it lets every enemy on the level know where you are and aggro on you, so you won't be able to find any breathing space as long as the level is populated...

I don't know if this really deserves its own thread, so I'll mention it here: I've been thinking about the Berserker Armour, and how it relates to the Dragonslayer. As it is, the DS is an absurdly rare easter egg weapon which is unusable except under very specific circumstances, but now you've got this armour which complements it for flavour, and I guess it feels a bit of a waste of potential to have a couple of interlinked items that are both highly elusive and a puzzle to use.

What I was thinking was this: the Berserker Armour could basically have the stats it has currently (maybe more protection?) but wearing it drives you permanently berserk. Like the Cybernetic Armour, it's cursed, and with it equipped you're subjected to a variant of the Masochism rules: you can only heal through Berserk and Invulnerability orbs. Alternatively, healing is disabled altogether. It's basically a gigantic power boost, but at the cost of your HP becoming a ticking clock, dwindling as the monsters whittle you down.

With these abilities the Armour could be as common as the other high-end unique armours like the Necroarmour, considering the substantial drawbacks to the power boost.

Hey man, we don't even know what the combo DOES yet (or if it's even a combo). For all we know it could suddenly transport you into a Berserk mini-game (much like BerserkRL) except all the baddies are formers without guns, or it could grant permanent whirlwind (you hitting everything adjacent to you on attack), or you just WIN THE GAME right then and there. I'd wait until we find out the actual use of the Berserker Armor before undervaluing it.

Yeah, I know we don't know what the combo does, I was just suggesting a way in which the Armour could be conventionally useful, because as it is it's just another rare unique that's effectively useless unless you've already found and know how to pick up the OTHER rare unique.

Alternatively, I'll just suggest the overall concept as a separate item. I just like the idea of a piece of equipment that gives you a tremendous boost but puts a big ticking clock over your head, so you have to carefully consider the risks and rewards of equipping it.

Brass Knuckles
Punching the hell out of demons since WWI
You love punching things with your fists.  With these, you get an additional edge in fisticuffs, an additional 2d2 damage to be exact.  But, if you take a little more time and aim your blow carefully, you do almost as much damage as a knife to whatever the hell you are hitting (Alt-Fire: 2d4 damage, attack time +20%).

Also, Brass Knuckles would be usable in AoMr/AoSg so that builds like this (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,3881.0.html) would actually be considered.

Though I think it should actually be guaranteed at CC instead of the chainsaw (for the aforementioned challenges), so that those players are getting something they could actually FIGHT with.

Your opinion has been noted and filed appropriately. (http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c133/tcalanis/trash-can.jpg)

That said, I know Carnage shotguns were among the worst choices in Borderlands because of slow projectiles, and I considered low accuracy to reflect that. However, Shotgun builds aren't touching Eagle Eye and it still does less damage and with less accuracy than a standard Rocket Launcher. Its only advantages are clip size, less rare ammo, and that it can be used in AoSg.

Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: raekuul on March 02, 2011, 07:44
Just so it's on the record: I've been fiddling with making Shotguns that shoot projectile type Fire, and it's not possible as of 0.9.9.3a to make a shotgun that doesn't

A) Use Shells and Shrapnel damage
B) Use a cone type (Normal, Double, Assault are the cone types - Double has wider spread but sharper dropoff, while assault has narrower spread but less dramatic dropoff)

By comparison, hacking a pistol can give you a rocket launcher that wipes out the screen, a BFG that only uses one ammo, a chaingun that effectively fires rockets, or a plasma rifle that only shoots one 10mm bullet. I still haven't figured out how to make them load different types of ammunition.

In short: On an AoSh game, the Carnage Shotgun would still be a P-Class weapon, and therefore disallowed.

For reference:

M-Class Weapons - Melee Weapons and anything that takes the bonuses from Brute. Examples: Combat Knife, Chainsaw, Azrael's Scythe

P-Class Weapons - Weapons that shoot a single projectile or a string of projectiles. Examples: Pistol, Railgun, BFG-9000.

S-Class Weapons - Weapons that shoot a cone of shrapnel damage. Examples: Any and all shotguns.

P-Class uses the Projectile Type to distinguish between what the shot actually does, S-Class uses Projectile Type to determine Spread/Dropoff. I don't know what M-Class uses that number for yet, and I really don't want to find out. I haven't found where the data for what the game reads the actual weapon as yet. As the Ammo Type seems to be tied to what weapon the game saw it as at pickup, I think it might actually be hardcoded in the weapon definitions and not something that we'd be able to mod once sandbox is perfected.

Veteran? Hardly. I just know how to react to stuff.

Let's explain a bit this: It's awesome, I concede it. I would like to see it appearing in the game, but it would be one hell of an issue to codify it. First, it's an armor or a weapon? I can't simply understand it. I don't know if it's possible, but I think that making something like this is as-of-now a difficult (If not impossible) task for Kornel. Making the 500-bullet minigun with a rocket launcher altfire could be easy (And believe me, I want a gun like that in the game), but combining it with an armor that also carries a chainsaw just makes me think one thing: "Aw, crap".

Not anymore, they're not! And since armor durability isn't limited, I'm sure upping the ammo max is quite possible as well (and I believe it could be done on a minigun if it didn't bug out).

Post by: Ander Hammer on March 07, 2011, 14:10
In a similar vein:

Power Shield
Armor
Inventory text: Some sort of fancy futuristic armor... the visor is very shiny.
Effect: Negates all damage/very high armor rating. Durability is something low - 50%, prevents up to 10 or 15 damage, whatever. Sits on you at zero/reduced effectiveness when broken. If you avoid getting hit for 20 or so turns, it regains its defense and begins to somewhat rapidly recharge.

Inspiration is sort of obvious. Something in this vein could be prettty cool - a great armor that reduces the risk of taking potshots, dueling imps and formers, or getting unlucky with splash, but coupled with it is a frailty that lasts until after combat.

Because Vampyre is so much more useful than Blademaster. The only reason you'd want to pick MBm over MVm is because of HR/DM.

If there could be a weapon with a more subdued version of Vampyre (for instance, my suggestion of the Gauntlets of the Necromancer) then I could see it being used. Otherwise, you have to remember that zerking DOUBLES melee damage which, on even the chainsaw, kills a lot of stuff in one hit, and almost certainly in two. An AoB player with Vampyre and HR/DM would be far too easy.

Bunkerbuster
Melee
Damage: 6d6
Ammo: Rockets
Clip: Single shot

Info:
A heavy melee weapon that uses rockets as ammo and does about the same damage as a rocket launcher (6d6), including the whole "explosion" thing and Fire damage. The shockwave shouldn't hurt the player (Maybe?)

The benefits are that you can deal with crowds by punching them with a point-blank rocket, and with this you can go through walls like the goddamn Kool-Aid Man. The drawbacks are that it's obviously ammo-based whereas other melee weapons are not, and the knockback from the explosion isn't something you generally want happening in melee games.

A utility for melee characters to deal with crowds and walls, but not a replacement for the chainsaw. But it would be hilarious to shove a rocket up the hindquarters of a Baron while berserk'd. Give his colon a good, fire-y cleansing with pure rage.

Maybe these should go in the horrible ideas thread...

Force-A-Nature
Uses shotgun ammo
Higher damage at point blank than the double shotty with extra knockback, but with even steeper falloff, basically useless at range. Slow reload time.
"When you absolutely, positively need to hurl enemies far away from you and into a pool of lava."

Dalokohs bar
Consumable
Heals the player like a normal small med-pack if damaged, but adds 10 health like a small health globe when at full health.
"Did you ever want to pick up a small health globe and save it for later? Now you can do it, with delicious chocolate-like flavor!"

Gunboats
Boots
Protective boots + TB
2 protection, player receives 50% damage from own rockets (this stacks with rocket jumping).
"This nifty invention makes walking forever obsolete!"

Sharpened volcano fragment
Melee
Damage somewhere between the knife and the chainsaw (plasma maybe?), accuracy good, leaves a square of lava where it's swung.
"Really not something you should be swinging around."

Chargin' Targe
Melee
Damage and accuracy comparable to knife. Alt-fire: can only be used when not tired, launches you forward 10 squares or until you hit something, doing damage at the end of the path based on the distance travelled and tiring you out. Note that this does not protect you from environmental damage.
"No true Scotsman would ever use a shield for anything else."

Amputator
Melee
Combat knife + PB
Slightly higher damage than the knife, heals a trivial amount on each hit.
"You're pretty sure this weapon does not belong here."

Sniper rifle
Uses 10mm ammo
Single shot weapon, decent accuracy and damage. Alt-fire: always hits, huge damage, but physical (so armor gets in the way) and so slow you might miss a turn entirely.
"You don't know why, but you feel an urgent need to be polite and efficient."

Ambassador
Uses 10mm ammo
Pistol + ATP
High accuracy, decent damage, slow firing time but quick reload.
"It certainly makes hostile negotiations much easier."

How about soul-eating skull?

how it works:
when you kill somebody, and you have soul-eating skull in inventory, it eats part of soul (or whatever immortal demons have) of killed (not a must, that killed by you) possesing 1% of dead's health, and accumulating these. If you use it from you inventory, you gain as many health points, as you may get till 200%. Rest, what you can boost into yourself, stays in skull.

To make this item weaker, you may add some limit of accumulating health and/or penalty of 1 max health taking when using.

Note: Yes, if you have 2 soul eating skulls each of them bites the vailing souls to feed themselves, and generate health points.

Source: labirynth of my mind
As some items/powerups free some space in your backpack like ammuniton or blue/green armors are needless, it would do similar thing with med-packs.

Some of those TF2 ideas could be interesting, but the lower-level assemblies are supposed to be more doom-related or based on something in real life. Also, game designers work in NUMBERS!

Blast Boots
Assembled Boots
Recipe: Protective Boots + BT
Protection: Original (2)
Durability: Original + Mod (200%)
Knockback: Original + Mod (-50%)
Movespeed: Original - Mod (-10%)
Special: Reduces Rocket Jump self-damage by 60%, but the knockback is not reduced. Allows players with Badass or Fireangel to rocket jump at regular effectiveness.
Description: Original, unfortunately.
Description (if assembly descriptions are implemented): Seemingly-magical boots that reduce rocket jump damage, rendering stairs (and bridges) forever useless.

High Caliber Pistol
Assembled Weapon
Recipe: Pistol + APP
Damage: 4d6
Damagetype: Physical
Accuracy: Original + Mod (+5)
Firetime: 1.5s
Reloadtime: Original (1.2s)
Clip: Original (6)
Altfire: Hip fire. Takes 1.0s, but has only +2 accuracy.
Altreload: Dualreload.
Description: Original, or "All of those mods create a pistol with quite a kick to it!"

Auto-Sniper Rifle
Unique Weapon
Damage: 2d5 (x4)
Damagetype: Physical
Accuracy: +6
Firetime: 1.0s
Reloadtime: 1.5s
Clip: 32 (10mm ammo)
Altfire: Scoped shots. 2.0s fire time, never misses (like a sniper modded weapon).
Description: This should stop those demons right in their tracks... could they just stand still for a second?

Screwdriver
Exotic Consumable
Special: On use, brings up a menu of all weapons in your inventory. You can choose a modded weapon, at which point you will be prompted "Reclaim weapon or reclaim mods? [w/m]" You get the weapon or the mods back, but the other is destroyed.
Description: You've been looking for one of these! Use it on a modded weapon to reclaim them (or the weapon) for later use.



As for some original ideas, here's one I've suggested before:
Sledgehammer
Exotic Weapon
Damage: 10d6
Damagetype: Physical
Accuracy: +0
Firetime: 2.0s
Altfire: Narrow swing. Deals half damage, takes 1.5s.
Description: Nothing can stand up to a sledgehammer! Swinging the damn thing is a real workout, though.

And another for good measure:
Six-Shooter
Exotic Weapon
Damage: 3d5
Damagetype: Physical
Accuracy: +5
Firetime: 0.5s
Reloadtime: 1.5s (normal reload) 0.5s (see below)
Clip: 6 (10mm ammo)
Altreload: Dualreload.
Special: Between each firing command, you must move or reload as though it were a combat shotgun. These restrictions apply even if it's your prepared weapon and you have dualgunner.
Description: Yeeehaw! You're the quickest draw on phobos, partner!

EDIT: The six-shooter could possibly be a bit more powerful with the restriction that it can't be used with another pistol, because that's just silly.

I don't see a reason for the six-shooter to be unusable with another pistol, even another six-shooter. Just make it necessary to move/reload both chambers if you want to shoot two bullets next attack.

I don't see a reason to make the high-caliber pistol's alt fire 'hip fire' when that could be the normal fire mode and we can tack 'aimed shot' on. I'm under the general impression that normal shooting is from the hip in this game.

Bunkerbuster
Melee
Damage: 6d6
Ammo: Rockets
Clip: Single shot

Info:
A heavy melee weapon that uses rockets as ammo and does about the same damage as a rocket launcher (6d6), including the whole "explosion" thing and Fire damage. The shockwave shouldn't hurt the player (Maybe?)

The benefits are that you can deal with crowds by punching them with a point-blank rocket, and with this you can go through walls like the goddamn Kool-Aid Man. The drawbacks are that it's obviously ammo-based whereas other melee weapons are not, and the knockback from the explosion isn't something you generally want happening in melee games.

A utility for melee characters to deal with crowds and walls, but not a replacement for the chainsaw. But it would be hilarious to shove a rocket up the hindquarters of a Baron while berserk'd. Give his colon a good, fire-y cleansing with pure rage.

Cybie will be fa#$ing and be#$#ing FIRE!!!

Don't know what to call this thing, but here goes.

Fire time: 3.0 sec
Damage: 3d6*3 Physical
Alt-Fire: High Explosive Rounds(9d6*3 Explosive(note: blast radius equal to a rocket launcher.))
Ammo: 90 (10mm rounds)
Reload time: 5.0 sec

Be aware that the shere size of this weapon will slow your movement down by 20%.

How about 'Holy Shit!'? That aside, I think the numbers are just too high across the board, and as-is it'd be a novelty sort of thing even with Finesse and tech mods and Triggerhappy and whatever.

It looks more to me like three miniguns, which shouldn't fire that slow... unless I'm looking at the wrong image.

Edit: IDEA.

Ultimate Bullet Hose
Damage: 1d6x6
Fire Time: 1.0-1.5s
Alt-Fire: Chainfire (special)
Ammo: lots, or alternatively never needs to reload as long as you have 10mm ammo but takes a little extra time to switch to
Reload time: ridiculous, or see above

On the surface, a slightly better chaingun. However... it's got three rotating barrels instead of one! So when chainfire is initial, it shoots three shots... warming, it shoots six... full-auto does 9. Triggerhappy effects each barrel, so with Triggerhappy (2) a normal attack fires 12 bullets, and a full-auto burst will fling 15 bullets per round. Let's hear it for wasteful excess!

It could have two barrels instead of three, different damage or rounds fired, whatever. I'm just a big fan of the 'bullets everywhere' style of fighting.

Unmaker
Damage: 2d4
Damagetype: Plasma
Accuracy: +2
Firetime: 1.0s
Reloadtime: 2.5s
Clip: 20 (Power Cell)
Pickup: "What the !@#%* is this!"
Description: You don't know what this thing is, how it works, who made it, or why it takes your power cells.
Special 1: Has three mod slots, regardless of Whizkid investment.
Special 2: All weapon mods have an additional effect of +1 shot per burst. Bulk mods add 20 to the clip instead of their normal value.
Special 3: Does not take assemblies.
Valid Weapon-Specific Traits: Triggerhappy (even unmodded), possibly Ammochain.


I believe this is the third proposed version of the Unmaker.

I got the idea at work, remembering that the Unmaker in Doom 64 was the only weapon in the official series that was capable of upgrading on its own, but was rather crappy without any upgrades. Since almost everything in DoomRL can be modded, I decided to make the Unmaker heavily reliant on mods.

Edit: grommile's comments made me redo my math and see that the original was kinda... really weak for a Unique. This one may be a bit too strong instead, but given how Ammochain used to require Whizkid, I always took it to mean you were modifying your weapon; that's far harder when it wasn't made by humans. This could therefore, logically and for balance reasons, not work with MAc.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: grommile on May 13, 2011, 02:22
Obvious technical questions: Is it a pistol? Is it ammochainable?
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Thexare on May 13, 2011, 02:54
Counts as an automatic for the purposes of Triggerhappy, and maybe ammochainable (but that's for the balance people to consider).

Although the Tech mod being +1 shot is more of a balance concern for me. Maybe drop it down to 2d4, still automatic for TH, and make it so every basic mod counts as +1 shot in addition to the normal benefits instead. Hrm... that would max out at, for maximum power with common mods, 5d4x4, 20-100 damage, +2 accuracy. Current version is 2d4x5, or 10-40... hell that's weaker than the Plasma Rifle.

*rushes to edit post*

Edit, after waking up: In fact, the new version is more true to the original anyway, since every upgrade either made it fire faster or fire more shots at a time.

The Terror Blade was the second-best weapon in the game (second only to Dragonsbane), useless only against enemies that could inflict poison on you. As for the high average, it's supposed to be powerful, but not to the point where you'd want it over one of Death's Drops or the Dragonslayer. If I recall correctly, their averages are higher still than Terror Blade's, and they don't occasionally give dud strikes.

Melee damage: 1d3 (same as fists)
Description: An old coin that seems to always fall on one side.
Special: When equipped in the prepared slot, it effectively negates streaks of "bad luck". That is, your third shot, following two misses is guaranteed to hit and you are guaranteed to successfully dodge the third shot if you were hit by the previous two. In addition, phase devices have 10% chance to bring you within 5 tiles of the exit and small med-packs have 10% chance to heal you for twice their normal strength.

Clip Size:  4 (Regenerates slowly)
Special effect: Projectile ignores enemies, barrels and doors. When it hits a wall, the player is teleported next to the wall, going to the same side that was shot.
Special fire: Floor shot. Let's you aim at the ground within your LOS, like a Revenant's Launcher, and teleport there. If shot at a square containing an enemy or barrel, they are also teleported to the player's previous position.

Flamewall
Unique Rocket Launcher
8d6 [3/3] Unmoddable
Pickup: "They'll bury you in a lunchbox, hellspawn!"
Inventory: The name 'Ballistikraft' is etched on the side... what the hell?
Alt-Fire: Aim at ground.
Special: This gun consumes 3 (!) rockets PER SHOT.

Notes: The Flamewall's area of effect works differently.  When firing normally, the rocket goes 3 squares out.  If it hits something before it reaches that, it does minimum damage.  At the fourth square, when the rocket strikes the ground, it turns into a wave of fire, starting from length 3 at the fourth square, to length 9 (!) at square seven.  Said wave travels some more distance (I haven't determined this yet, although the original kept going until it hit a wall last I remember) before dissipating.  The alt-fire basically starts the wave off right at square one, hitting maximum spread at square four and going from there.

Lastly, I haven't come up with firing or reload times, so ammo per shot is the only way I can prevent overuse.  And that may not even be enough ammo spent to balance the way this works.

Time for me to finally submit something that ISN'T from Rise of the Triad.  Be warned, though, this still needs some fleshing out to be both true to the source AND workable in DoomRL (yes I care that it's both).

Sword of Omens
Unique Melee
7d6 fire (unmoddable)
Alt-fire: Sight Beyond Sight: Increases dodge chance by 30% and allows dodging to work regardless of movement circumstances (as in, you can dodge even if moving parallel to the line of fire).  Lasts for 10s and tires the user out afterward.
Special: Increases armor by 2 while either equipped or prepared.

Notes: The reason Pickup and Inventory quotes aren't yet supplied is because in both cases, I want to quote the series that is the origin of the weapon (in case you don't know, this thing's from ThunderCats) without being too blatant, and/or possibly break the fourth wall by wondering what this thing is doing around all these hellspawn.  Since I didn't already have quotes prepared, I chose not to supply any of my own just yet, rather than submit a crap one and ruin an idea.

My excuse for the free armor is, well, the sword's sheath is actually an arm shield (claw shield if you want to be REALLY technical).  Maybe this would work better if it was ONLY while the weapon was prepared, and not actually the equipped weapon?

Also, why does this thing do fire damage when it's very much a physical blade, you may ask?  Simple.  I note in at least the 2011 version of ThunderCats that the sword is capable of cutting through stone very easily.  And yet, I don't want this doing plasma damage as then it's too much of a kid brother to the weapons in Unholy Cathedral.  Giving it fire damage (which can destroy walls) is my compromise in this regard.  (If you're familiar with this weapon in its sources and plasma damage is actually more justified, please let me know.)

Lastly, I'm working on trying to find evidence of this sword reflecting magic attacks in its own series (either the original or the 2011 version), as that's what I REALLY want with the alt-fire - reflecting enemy projectiles.  If I can't find that, what you see here is one alternative.  The other is a blast of energy (I want to avoid this if I can because it'll be too much like the Cathedral weapons again).

All in all, what I'm trying to develop here in terms of game stats is a weapon that won't entirely replace the Cathedral weapons, but may be worth keeping around even if you have them.

Spinal Staff
Artifact(?) staff thingy
Damage: N/A
Pickup: "A shiver runs down your spine!"
Inventory: There's something strange about this staff...

Using this will put you in a state of invulnrability. You'll be immune to other attacks but it costs 5 permanant health and drains 1 health point (not permanantly, though) every turn until the invulnrability  runs out or you hit 1 health. Using this makes you tired. It can only be used once in each level, you'll have to wait for the other level to use it again if you use it.l. The invulnrability lasts as long as an invulnrability globe. Having this in your inventory stops the health drain from the

+ Vile Skull
A unique Skull item, which has the effect of reviving every corpse in your view (minus the ones that archviles cannot revive either), but the enemies will fight on your side and stay near you. Probably complex to implement since it'd need code to let enemies fight each other if not yet present... but hey, doesn't it just sound like such an epic idea? :D

! Demolition Ammo Chain
We have specials of like every type of thing now, so why not of the new ammo chains? This is an ammo chain which contains ammo that works as if your weapon had a demolition ammo mod.

+ Protector
When this item is used, it will spawn a protective robot on your side, which attacks enemies with a few plasma shots if one is sighted by it. It's ignored if it's in your own line of fire. It's tough to destroy too, but it will not follow you to the next level.

Neat ideas, sure. Could even add a rare, unique ammo chain that pretty much works like it's nano-modded, though I don't know how overpowered it would be to have a bottomless magazine, albeit one that has to regenerate.

Why not just make it a Quad, though? Could make the powerup and screen brown, since there's only one other brown powerup, iirc. Have the powerup be rare and short-lived. It would be hard enough to get dangerous enemies clustered nearby, yet not able to punish your dash for the quad.

That could be cool. Too many more mods and we'll need two-letter codes, but I don't think that should be too hard...

I'd do it as two mods; boosting a single resistance type may not be worth an exotic mod. Then again, the below may be too much for Exotic... Eh, whatever. Here's my proposal, you all can rebalance it as necessary.

Clip: 6 rockets (maybe less for balance)
Damage: 4d4-ish? rad-1 or 2
Fire time: 1.0s
Reload time: a little fast if it's one at a time, slow if the full clip needs to go in at once.
Special: Explodes on or near the targeted square.
Altfire: possibly a grenade that waits a few seconds before exploding, or a round that bounces when it hits walls.

And since it came into mind when writing the above.

Sticky Launcher
Clip: a number of rockets
Damage: fairly low
Fire/reload time: whatever sounds reasonable
Special: lands on the targeted square and does nothing. One per square.
Altfire: costs 0 ammo, blows up any stickies in sight.

Would be more useful if one explosion didn't push a monster out of range of any others that might hit it but occurred 'later'. Sort-of balanced by requiring lots of rockets.

The gut
unique "armor"
"ew"

[1/1]
knockback resistance; 25%
speed; 0

Special;
Each time you receive damage, the damage you received is added to your resistance. (eg, demon meelees you for 5 damage, you gain 5% meelee resistance)
However the resistance starts to drain down if you have not received damage for x amount of turns

Portable force field generator (armor)
- cannot be modified
-has 10 + durability/10 resistance to all
- cannot be repaired manually, must be recharged, and that can happen only when you hold power cell battery in hand, each action 1 energy is depleted from cell and durability of armor is increased by 2 (or 1 if you find it too strong)
- it's max durability is 200 by default, but you find it at 100
- speed -5/0%, knockback 0-+25% armor: 2/1 - choose what seems resonable
- it has 1/4*durability chance to reflect the missile/bullet to the opponent, it doesn't apply to vile's and shotgun attack
- cannot be destroyed

source: just idea

penetration bullets (master assembly or only pistol advanced assembly)
doesn't make any sense for shotguns, and does little sense for rocket launcher
Effect: when bullet hits something, it doesn't stop unless it was a wall
(Similar to railgun)
Possible mod settings: PPPF, PPF, PPP, PPTF, PPS... (I'd like 2 power mods, as it's quite logical, that if something has such effect, it must have enforced power)

enforcement of armor (probably master assembly, or advanced)
effect: doubles current resistances capped at 70 (not if the original is higher, like 95)
setting:... PTAB? PTA?

Doomguy Rifle or Sig-Cow
Clip: 10 bullets
Damage: 3d6
Accuracy: +6
Fire time: 1.2s
Reload time: 1.2s
Pickup: What the Hell? This gun actually exists?!
Ingame: For nostalgia's sake. / A gift from the Human Fly. (if Sig-Cow name is used)

Remember those silly silver guns all the formers and marines carried around? Why not try one out? Accuracy should be equal to chaingun + EE 2, which should make it usable by just about anyone. Great for "the little ones", as the Shielded Armor descrip says, though probably not useful for much else. Who knows, maybe there are some crazy assemblies you could make with it too....
Title: Mod!
Post by: zenfur on September 30, 2011, 07:20
Advanced assembler (mod) You could figure out some other name, something like alien technology or something... be creative!
"This looks even more sophisticated than devil's intrigues!""
Adds as many slots as you could normally add, and one more assembly slot.
What does it mean:If you haven't yet assemblied something, you can add double amount of mods, as you could normally add. If you assemblied something at master whizkid (you have one slot left), you can add THIS mod and assembly it again (or add as many mods as you could add to an unassemblied thing).
Important: you can't add same assembly 2nd time; like high power high power something. Also you shouldn't be able to create from gatling gun, assault rifle, but high power assault rifle, or nanomanufacture ammo hyperblaster; why not!
(for example your unmodded armour can get now [1+your whizkid lev]*2, also 2 power mods 2 technical mods, etc...)
I hope I am understandable, now, if it's special item, as I proposed, in spoiler I'll write how to obtain it. If you count it as unique, you won't need it.

Unique Boots: Boots of the Duke
No idea about protection value or resistances, but it should allow you to make a kick attack by melee'ing an enemy with a ranged weapon equipped. mid-level damage and high knockback. Kick should be an alt-fire for melee weapons.

Hell, Kick should just be alt-fire for melee weapons anyway.

Edit: Actually, Maybe I should just suggest adding the kick alt-fire, with regular boots increasing kick damage, and the Duke Boots should let you kick with a ranged weapon and high damage and knockback.

Post by: Jovian on November 04, 2011, 10:50
I'm not up on the statistics of the weaponry, so I'll just post some cool (or "cool") sounding stuff.

Cain's Club
The very weapon used in the first murder.
"Let's go out to the field..."

Good Samaritan
Based on the massive revolver of Hellboy, it would be some kind of sawn-off shotgun-revolver hybrid. As far as cross-overs go at least it fits in with the scenery!
"With this in your right hand, you'll bring doom!" - Hang on, are these all first person? Ha ha.

Shit-Kicking Boots
Steel toe-capped boots. Adds a knock-back attack of kicking to your repertoire of death.
"Comfy!"

Helm of Hades
Allows invisibility at some balanced level, say perfect invisibility while standing still, seventy five percent change of being seen while moving, fifty percent chance of being seen whilst attacking.
"How sophisticated do you have to be to make such a classy, invisible, helmet?"

Matter Cannon
Shove whatever crap you find into it, fire extra heavy cannon balls. Simple.
"Take matters into your own hands!"

Martian Sidewinder
An ancient rifle that fires plasma slugs that bounces off walls.
"Martians musta been interesting guys."

Martian Eradicator
An ancient plasma chaingun that fires through walls, causing radiation poisoning in yourself and foes alike.
"I bet this thing came with a suit...or an exoskeleton."

Martian Talon
An ancient trident which can, but doesn't have to be, powered by plasma to increase it's power.
"Martians, fighting old school before we had schools."

Martian Clicker
The BFG 9000 of the long dead Martians, it would target an enemy with a rocket, but the rocket only explodes when detonated by the player.
"It is harrowing to think that two separate sapient species can be joined in a love of explosive violence."

Oh and to continue adding with beastie:

Quad Shotgun
"Sometimes a man can't wait for a power-up."

Cerebus Righthead
"A deadman's handgun. Looks like part of a set."
Damage: 3d5 / 3-15
Damage Type: Bullet
Accuracy: +6
Base Fire Time: 1.0 second
Base Reload Time: 2.0 seconds
Clip Size: 15
Ammunition: 10mm ammo
Alternate Fire: Aimed shot
Alternate Reload: Dual reload

Cerebus Lefthead
"A deadman's handgun. Looks like part of a set."
Weapon Type: Handgun
Damage: 3d6 / 3-18
Damage Type: Bullet
Accuracy: +4
Base Fire Time: 1.0 second
Base Reload Time: 2.0 seconds
Clip Size: 15
Ammunition: 10mm ammo
Alternate Fire: Aimed shot
Alternate Reload: Dual reload

Notes: The Cerebus handguns are from Gungrave and would probably work best as part of a set, sort of like the Gothic Arms armor set. Maybe if you had them both, you'd get the equivalent of Bullet Dance 1 (Which sounds like it's from Gungrave too) or something similiar. They're still pretty good on their own, having damage and clip-size equal to the various pistol uniques, but without any of their really special bits. The Righthead has the Trigun's accuracy and the Jackal's base damage, the Lefthead has that flipped (Accuracy slightly down, damage slightly up), and both have almost the same clip size as the Grammaton Beratta. But they don't have the nuke, the explosive rounds, or the autofire modes of the other three uniques, unless you get the set.

They might be better off as exotics, but their power seems a bit high for that.

Daemon Tech-Graft.

Description:
This is the thing the daemons want us for. Our bodies and minds are playthings. They want our weapons. They want us as weapons.

Single use consumable. Style as a mod-pack for self. Uses another mod-pack as consumable. Requires at least one mod in inventory or permanent injury (-13 max HP). No gain. Text:
"It glows a greenish purple and starts shredding your body with wire-like tendrils."

If you do have a mod-pack in inventory:
-13 max HP.
Text:
"How do you wish to modify yourself? p/b/a/t?"
If you don't have the mod pack for the button pressed, see above.

Otherwise:
Power pack gives +20 HP (so +7 after the operation) and +1 to highest damage die of current weapon.
Bulk pack adds +3 to melee damage and +1 to natural armour.
 Agility pack gives +10% to speed+dodge and +2 to accuracy.
Technical pack gives +15% fire speed and the ability to mod weapons with 1 more mod.

After mod-pack is consumed:
Text:
You are now less than the human you were, but more the killer you need to be.

Just a thought on why these daemon bastards are trying (very well) to take over phobos before we show up. We don't have to join them, just beat them. With whatever is laying around.

Yeah. Make it dungeon level 16+ I'd say. You can only find such things in hell. As a unique, at least it's one every Doomguy can use.

Maybe OP, but how much do you hate finding an Anti-freak Jackal just after the Wall in AoMr? Or a fire-storm pack on shotty builds (DBs only do 2x regardless, even a few versions ago). Or even just a BFG that you have a tendancy to never fire, but makes for a great plasma ammo slot?

It might be good, but it hurts and everyone can use it. Maybe just remove the HP for power mods, no HP gain, but no pain either. Probably one to make into an auto-loss for AoHum or AoPac though.

That sounds like something for Angel of Purity, Angel of Pacifism should yield something like this:

"You don't feel too good about this, but at least it won't hurt others.." Which would reduce the score counter by 0.1/0.15/0.2

Angel of Humanity could have something funkier:
Code: [Select]
"You feel that this isn't the best of ideas, are you sure you want to do this? [Y/n]"
Y - "As you use the demonic device, you feel a growing dread inside of you as everything fades away..", Action takes 15 seconds. (Ala Paralysis. :P), and sets your vision range to 0 (Oh the blindness.)
15 Seconds later (if not dead yet), lose 2 max health, "You feel cold, but alive.", receive bonus.
Code: [Select]
Power gives 10% general speed (Ala scout) & + 3 Melee damage
Bulk gives 2 armor and 1 health & + 4 Melee damage
Agility gives 15% (20%?) move speed & Dodge + 1 OVERALL accuracy & + 2 Melee damage
Technical gives 20% fire speed, 1 extra vision & 1 extra WEAPON mod.
Messages for mods:
Code: [Select]
Power: "You feel powerful and fast, and you have a feeling you'll need it."
Bulk: "You feel sturdy and strong, but not as tough as before."
Agility: "Your legs move faster, and your arms are strong and accurate." (Agility, in formal format.)
Technical: "Your knowledge of guns is keener, and your eyes seem to distinguish everything much better now." (Terminator mode - activated.)

Yes, I really like this idea. ;P
And in case this seems a bit overpowered, then remember that we're talking about Angel of Humanity.
The bonuses that are so-so for a badass marine as one is, are a bit more definite on an ordinary marine. (AKA how one is in AoHu)
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Sambojin on November 13, 2011, 17:54
I tend to think a few more in-game lore style uniques would make a good addition. There's so many anime/wh40k/real-life references that it sometimes feels as though it waters down the coolness that is DoomRL (or even just the Doom universe/potential story). For me it sort of makes the game deeper without necessarily changing a thing. Evoking an atmosphere occaisionally without having to stick to a story-line. The anime/wh40k thing is great, it fits much of what you're doing in-game, but there's no reason you can't have some doom-centric story telling devices chucked in as very viable uniques.....

Speaking of which:

Weapon fuser.

Description:
An circular brace with a label on each end. One says "arm", the other says "weapon". Seems pretty simple.

Style of consumable, used on self.
Gives +2 accuracy, 80% reload time, power-mod effects for weapon. Can never use any other weapon or switch to your prepared slot. -10 max HP.

Description on use:
As you insert your arm and your weapon into it, there is a flash of red light and deathly odours. You feel a searing pain followed by icy chill. Your weapon is now a part of you.

If no weapon is equipped:
Description on use:
You insert your arm into it and press the button. Barbed blades rip through your knuckles. It's boxing time......

Gives +2 accuracy and the effects of a bulk and mod pack to your unarmed attack. Still works for "fists only" badges/medals.

----------------
Just another little daemonifier unique. Again, probably over-powered. But it kind of makes sense. How did knights and barons end up with crap on their arms? Or arachnotrons get plasma guns? This is how. Although, the thought of what part a mancubus inserted in the fuser is somewhat disturbing.......

"Ride my rocket baby!"

Disturbing........

Disassembler Kit
Why should Technicians have all the fun?

This one-use consumable item found in Hell's Arnory allows you to completely disassemble a weapon, as though you had the trait Scavenger.

Hmm.. that's got me thinking now. Should it have a preference for mod packs when it's disassembling a modded weapon or assembly? Like, Onyx > Nano > Firestorm > Sniper > Power > Technical > Agility > Bulk?

Can we get this thread renamed to "New Special Items"? Uniques are a specific subset of Specials that can (or should, anyway) appear only once in any given game, while Assemblies and Exotics are also specials.

Speaking of, GrimmC suggested we add a Howdah Pistol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howdah_pistol) to the Assembly list. From Wikipedia's description, this would be similar enough to the Elephant Gun that the same set of mods could be used.

And as long as I'm thinking about it, how about this?

Deflection as, instead of hitting you, it jumps off you into another direction.
Return as in returning into the direction the projectile was shot from.

Cybernetic Power Supply
Icon: !

Like a Power Battery, but 250 shots. Cursed. Doesn't destroy when it runs out. Might also give you a speed boost, or regenerate (if it's feeling really nice). Possibly make the regeneration a set bonus if you equip both it and the Cybernetic Armor

Streak SRM 6
Assembly: Missile Launcher + BBSF
Damage: (6d6)x6/126, radius 3
Accuracy: Autohit
Fire time: 2.0s
Reload time: 1.2s
Ammo: Rockets
Clip Size: 6
Alt reload: Full reload (standard reload reloads one rocket at a time)
Special: Shots after the first will target the original target instead of flying on the same path (if knocked back by previous shots).

I think there needs to be The Good Samaritan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Samaritan_(comics)) from Hellboy. Oversized four-round revolver with high damage and poor accuracy. Not sure about the stats, but I think it should be in the game, especially since it's tailor made for shooting demons and such.

Also, whenever I find the Anti-Freak Jackal, for some reason I always think it is this gun.

Edit: Something like 9d2 damage, +0 accuracy, Base Fire Time: 1.5 (it takes quite an effort to pull the trigger), reload time probably more than average as well, clip size 4, obviously.

Since there is only one unique shotgun in the game right now, how about

The Boomstick

Unique double shotgun, with standard shotgun spread. Damage and stats should perhaps be a little worse than those of the Super shotgun.
When equipped or in your prepared slot, and if your other prepared/equipped weapon is chainsaw, it allows you to instantly swap between them (as if you had juggler) and gives you either damage or to hit bonus with melee (or both, not sure what would be balanced)

Throwing a bunch of relics out here.

Trumpet of Jericho
Symbol: ?
Destroys all walls of the room you're in. On Maze levels it destroys all walls contiguous with a tile within 3 of you, out to a 21x21 square. On a Cavern level it destroys all walls within some radius of you. Cannot be used when tired, makes you tired.

Skullstaff
Symbol: ?
A staff with a skull on it. Using it tires you out, gibs all corpses you can see, and adds five to the Berserk counter for each corpse. Cannot be used when tired.

Massacre Staff
Symbol: ?
Tires you out and does 20 damage to everything on the level. Including you. Cannot be used when tired. Works like a "The Smell of a Massacre" lever except for the part where it affects you.

Decanter of Endless Water
Symbol: ?
Cannot be used when tired, tires you out, works like a "humid" lever in that every walkable tile of the level except open doors is turned to a water tile.

Wand of Digging
Symbol: ?
Turns the level walls brittle. Makes you tired, can't be used when tired.

Crystal Ball
Symbol: ?
Sets your energy to zero and makes you tired, can't be used when tired. Effectiveness depends on traits and how much you've used it before on this level.
First Use: Gain Intuition 1 until end of level (skip if you already have it)
Second Use: Gain benefits of a computer map (or one level of map with the map system I've seen proposed)
Third Use: Gain benefits of a tracking map
Each time it's used, reveals all enemies' present position and type at time of use (enemies move off as soon as you hit enter to get out of it after first and second use, after third you track them).

This fast firing pistol fires bouncing bullets, the ultimate corner shooting weapon unless you hit yourself..
Damage: 3d2
Damage type: Bullet
Accuracy: +12
Fire time: 0.8 seconds
Reload time: 1.0 seconds
Ammunition: 10mm
Clip size: 30
Alt. fire: Fast shot - Fire Time reduced to 0.6, but bullets don't bounce
Alt. reload: Dual Reload
Bullets fired by the scifi hand gun rebound off walls up to 5 times or until they hit the player/monster/door. Bullets rebound as per classic reflection (so angle of incidents = angle of reflection), and travel up to 10 paces each second.

Sci-fi Handgun should shoot plasma, or at least fire... the bullets are purple/green blasts of light.

I don't see a thread for proposed assemblies, nor have I seen anything like this proposed, so I submit:

Clip-Fed Shotgun
Mods Required: 2x Bulk (I guess? Dunno what should be appropriate)
Eligible Weapons: Combat/Assault Shotgun
Damage: Unchanged
Clip Size: +2 (Only counts one Bulk Mod's effects)
Accuracy: Unchanged
Spread: Unchanged
Firetime: Unchanged
Reload: 1.5s (Reloads entire magazine!)
Other Effects: None, Combat Shotgun base still requires pumping

Shottyheads would go absolutely bananas for something like this, and this is the sort of assembly that any Shottyman would really dig. I'm not entirely sure what modset would be balanced for such a powerful change. Bulks seem to fit the proper design mantra, but I don't want the clipsize to go through the roof when the whole thing is reloaded at once.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Uitë on February 26, 2012, 14:14
Right now, Agility mods are pretty much useless on shotguns, though it's not really thematically appropriate here. Functionally, I guess it's most similar to a tactical rocket launcher (and of course the old tactical shotgun with Shottyman), which is made with Bulk mods too. I could see it being used on the regular and double shotguns like that. Also, how would you have it interplay with the Shottyman trait?
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: IronBeer on February 26, 2012, 14:32

I suppose it could potentially work with the break-action (standard/double/Super) shotguns, but it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Following from the real-life inspiration, making a clip-fed break-action would basically result in a clunky Combat Shotgun. Not my intention here.
Plus, it might be too good for a double shotty; as described, the assembly would add 2 to the clipsize, which would allow 2 back-to-back double shotty blasts. Yeah, I don't think that's balanced.

Also, how would you have it interplay with the Shottyman trait?
The obvious interplay, like on the Jackhammer or old Tac Shotty: you get a fully fresh clip upon moving. Does the Tac Shotty still get a full reload from Shottyman?

Just a consideration:
Reloading speeds are usually the most troublesome thing with shotguns, and therefore reloading full magazine at once would IMHO seem a bit overpowered for a basic assembly.
On the other hand, since WK and MAD are incompatible, making this advanced would mean that this shotgun is ruled out of MAD build  - and MAD would probably benefit the most from the reloading speed.
All in all a very nice idea.

<Insert a title here>

Stats: same as Rocket Launcher stats.

Special: if it kills anything, the corpse goes BOOM with a standart rocket explosion(6d6 radius 4).If the resulting explosion kills something else, the killed corpse goes boom too, and so on, and so on, and so on... possibly resulting in huge chain reactions wiping out the whole level for good. The enemy must be killed for an explosion to occur - just hitting him won't count. Chain explosions can wipe out YOU too, so, bro, be careful there.

It's even greater than corpse explosion, there is one already (BFG does extra booms), while this is some infection that if kills, blows and spreads.  OW, I say. The only nitpick is that if there's nothing in your 4-tile radius, you won't get killed with this. I believe this is too OP.

And about DII and CE - there was a name for a CE necro - "I_CEdeadpeople" :)

Barrel Launcher.
This weapon uses barrels which are scattered around the level as ammo. You reload by standing next to the barrel and hitting reload, and somehow, you are able to pick up the barrel with launcher, because you are the DooM Guy.
Then you fire it off at a demon and it explodes with extra damage on a direct hit (to make the weapon more useful).
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Kazeto on March 09, 2012, 08:36
Okay, first of all I'd like to say "hello" to everyone here (as it is, in fact, my first post here). And I'd also like to say that I find DoomRL to be a great game, Kornel. A little bit too random at times, but that's the charm of being subjected to the whims of RNG.

Now with that beneath us, and with me having gotten through the entire thread (that was tiresome, but some of the ideas were pretty amusing), I'll write down my ideas of possible exotic/unique items. They'll probably be just as bad as almost all first-time attempts are, but maybe you'll find some of them interesting.

Quote
Tree Cutter (Exotic)
Damage: (1d5)x10 [range: 10-50, average: 30] bullet damage
Alternate fire: Chain fire
Clip size: 80
Accuracy: -1
Fire time: 1.2 second
Reload time: 4.0 seconds
Ammunition: 10mm
Description: A weapon that emphasizes quantity over quality. Burns through your ammo cache like a chainsaw through trees.
Pickup quote: It's time to deforest hell.
Other effects: When used with Ammochain, consumes 2 ammo per volley (possibly stacking to 4 if an assault rifle assembly is grafted onto it).
My reasoning for that one is pretty simple. Other than the minigun (1 item), there are no unique/exotic chainguns in the game, so people who want to create an Ammochain-based build have to switch to plasma rifles pretty quickly (which isn't exactly bad, but that means that, most of the time, there's only one weapon for them to choose from). The only concern is the demolition ammo assembly, since when applied to most weapons, it reduces their damage to 3d2, and that means the ridiculous amount of shots will make this weapon superior (but then again, the -1 accuracy bonus will be a curse working towards balancing it, and taking Ammochain [which is pretty much a must for any characters using this weapon] precludes taking Eagle Eye, which means this weapon wouldn't be a fix-it-all item).

Quote
BFG 3000 (Unique)
Damage: 7d10 [range: 7-70, average: 38.5] fire damage, radius 7
Alternate fire: Point-blank detonation for 5d7 [range: 5-35, average: 20] damage with radius 3, uses one rocket.
Clip size: 5
Accuracy: +5
Fire time: 1.4 second
Reload time: 3.5 seconds
Ammunition: Rockets
Description: An old-forgotten ancestor of BFG 9000. Don't blow your hands off.
Pickup quote: Ahh, the good old times...
Other effects: Uses 4 rockets per shot; can't be modded, goes into your hands as soon as you get it (just like BFG 9000).
Yes, this weapon would be on the level of BFG 9000. But then again, the BFG9k itself can be modded further, and this weapon can't (because I know one nano pack would make it utterly broken in terms of power); that alone makes it slightly worse in comparison, and it becomes even worse if you factor in the fact that, without Fireangel, its explosion radius (and the alternate fire) makes it very easy to accidentally kill oneself. The 4-rockets-per-shot thing is nothing one could ignore, but it's a decent weapon against anything if you have a lot of spare rockets and Fireangel.

Because Firestorm packs aren't useful for Shotguns:

Storm Shotgun (Better names welcomed)
Mods Required: BBF
Eligible Weapon: Combat Shotgun
Damage: (7d3)x2 shrapnel, Focused shotgun blast
Alternate Fire: Single shot
Clip Size: 6 shells
Firetime: 1.0s
Reload: 0.2s pump, 1.0s reload (Single shell)
Alternate Reload: Full reload
Ammunition: Shotgun Shell

Ammochain is pretty much an excuse to use nothing but plasma rifles.

I'm all for seeing more exotics, but at the same time I'm wary of adding even more potentially useless drops to a pool that's already stretched pretty thin. Chaingun does get minigun, gatling gun (assembly) and an all-rapids assembly or two.

I'd still like to see my Ultimate Bullet Hose in game. 1d6x6 and multiplies all shot-increasing effects by three...

The Timesplitters 1 version fire bullets and was rapid fire, (and was generally better than the Timesplitters 2+ version that fired energy bolts in bursts of 3)

I used to have those games.  I remember a time I was playing the first game by myself in multiplayer.  Can't remember what map, but there was this fan in one of the rooms, and I was shooting the gun you are basing your idea here on up through it.  Don't know how it happened because every shot before the last one missed on the ricoshet, but that last shot fraged me.(Headshot to self?)

Back to the idea, I like it but I think there should be some randomness the the rebound.

Yes, by the way, I didn't find a topic like "New badges/medals", so I think I can ask here.

Polished Gold Armor: Finish a standard game with 0 damage taken.
Hidden medal: Robes of Neo (maybe of TwoDev ;) ): Finish a N! (or maybe UV+) game with 0 damage taken. "Robes" because the Doomguy is so untouchable that he can dress himself in robes above armor and come out of HELL with them spotless and burnless.
Yes, for these challenges "You feel a deadly chill!" should not count as damage taken.

I had an idea for a unique powerup, which would have to be a reward for a seriously tough special level and very late game, since it is pretty much the ultimate item:

The Golden Ball: You can wish for any item (by writing its name) and you get it. If you wish for something that doesn't exist (a typo, for example), you'll get a random item instead.

Bonus points for whoever knows what is the source of the name. A lot of bonus points. Yeah, I'm that generous =)

Hmmm.. I thought everybody only knows Stalker, where there is no golden ball...

But aside for the "nothing" thing, this would be a great opportunity for a couple of easter eggs, notably for wishing "HAPPINESS FOR EVERYBODY, FREE, AND NO ONE WILL GO AWAY UNSATISFIED!"

I wonder how the game should react if you wished for "full win"... maybe that could be justified if it was hidden as well as the secret of the dragonslayer and berserker armour, possibly in a hidden special level called the mean grinder. I think we would have to draw the line at wishing for specific badges/medals, though =)

Two accuracy mods and less focused blast? Make it TT rather. Second thing - what about DS?

Buckshot (Shotgun)

Revision of my earlier post:

Rename the current Elephant Gun assembly to "Punt Gun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punt_gun)".  Create a new assembly from a shotgun that converts it to a rifle, named "elephant gun" (possibly BP).  IRL, elephant guns are rifles, not shotguns, and punt guns are the largest shotguns, so I think the change would be appropriate. 

Buckshot was intended to still be a shotgun, but have the damage type changed to bullet to help it pierce protection better. 

Dragon's breath using fire damage would allow for easier gibbing of enemies, as well as destroying walls and corpses (?).  Also, the assembly provides a use for firestorm packs on shotgun builds. 

Sawed-Off shotguns wouldn't work with double shotguns, and I don't really care/have a good idea of which mods would be best for it.

New knife ideas: (again, some may have already been proposed)

Chainsaw doesn't need fuel, so I guess the blender could go without ammo. I'd give it a much lower attack, since it's hard to get the enemies into the blender. I have no doubt that even Cybie would blend, though.

Doubler Machine
"
Unique Consumable
On Use: Duplicates any one item in inventory, except for Artifacts, which then appears underneath you for you to pick up.

Examples: Doubler Machine used on an unloaded pistol yields an unloaded pistol. Doubler Machine used on a fully-loaded BS Chaingun yields a fully-loaded BS Chaingun. Doubler Machine used on Dragonslayer is impossible as Dragonslayer never actually enters the inventory. Doubler Machine used on a stack of 51 bullets produces a stack of 51 bullets. Doubler Machine will not work on Azrael's Scythe, Angelic Armor, Loningus Spear...

I mean, the bigger problem is: does the DoomRL engine remove an object that is consumed before applying the effect or after?

In most cases this is not a problem, since things that work by application don't access the inventory screen.

Would it matter?

If it removes it before, feels like it would just throw an error.
If it removes it after, it copies the duplicator pack, then destroys the first.

By the way, this is the Duplicator Pack. (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,5602.0.html) The concept already works; the only difference is that this one is trying to call something from the inventory for duplication, whereas the Duplicator Pack already functions more or less perfectly.
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: GinDiamond on May 14, 2012, 08:47
I have a couple of ideas for unique items.

1. Grafter

This is a mod that lets you graft any single item into your own body. The effects would vary by the individual item. Suggestions: (Remember, this is a one-time only thing)

Armor: Gives you permanent armor 1 + half of the current value of the armor used, plus any other effects.

Weapon: Allows the weapon to remain available without taking up inventory space.

Medkits: Adds 10% small/20% large to max health. (So you would go to 110 % or 120% without decaying.

Weapon mods: Gives one level of the appropriate trait.

Damage:  Son of a bitch
Accuracy: Eagle Eye
Reload: Reloader
Magazine: ??

Nuke: The nuke will detonate if you are killed

Alternatively, it could be used when standing on a corpse to gain the ranged attack of that corpse. (By grafting part of the monster onto yourself)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Submachine Gun

This is based on the "Submachine Gun" from Red Faction

Damage:    2d4x3 OR 1d8x3
Accuracy:    +0
Base Fire Time:    1.0 second
Base Reload Time:    2.0 seconds
Clip Size:    20
Ammunition:  10mm OR Cells
Special Reload:    Loads cells instead of 10mm
Quote on pickup:    Death: Now in bite size!
Ingame Description:    A compact weapon for any situation.

Basically, it's a combination Chaingun/plasma rifle. I figure that it would be most useful as a secondary weapon to take advantage of otherwise useless ammo. (In other words, shotgun users)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Target pistol

Damage:    2d4
Accuracy:    +20
Base Fire Time:    1.0 second
Base Reload Time:    1.2 second
Clip Size:    6
Ammunition:    10mm ammo
Special Reload:    N/A
Quote on pickup:    They'll never see it coming!
Ingame Description:    A scoped 10mm pistol.

The perfect long-range weapon.

I've got a couple other ideas, but I need to work on them.


Good ideas.
I was also thinking about a unique weapon, the Weedwhacker!

It's a melee weapon with (8d4)x2 (the x2 is the two nylon line blades, 1 bulk will give it 3 nylon blades, x3), but with a twist: It has a 2-unit range. It can hit only something that is 2 spaces away from you, if the enemy is right up next to you, you're screwed unless you have a different melee weapon.

I just thought that would be pretty cool.
You could have a whole assortment of lawncare weapons!
Mower-destroys corpses/barrels
Bush pruner- like a chainsaw, but a nerfed attack damage but REALLY fast attack speed

Just some cool ideas!

Semi-formed random thoughts...

Personal Hologram Pack (unique consumable)
"If you can't beat 'em..."
You are now, at least in appearance, one of *them*. When used, the effect will last some number of turns (maybe half an Inv powerup?).  Monsters who can see you when you use the item only have a 25% change of being affected.  Any other monsters will not attack you until the effect ends *unless*:
You do something that causes a monster to be damaged (always) or
You are seen by monster A doing damage to monster B (50/50 chance that the effect ends for the monster A).

(Side note:
I also had the idea of having the hologram(s) be
-of the player
-trail behind the player by some number of moves
-some times targeted by monsters instead of the player
I'm not sure which of the two is better.)

Flash Grenade (exotic weapon)
Damage:0d0
Once fired, disappears from inventory.
Effect:When fired, it will land on the exact square that is targeted (unless that square is out of sight, in which case it has some chance to land on an empty adjacent square instead). 
It will then create a radius 6 blast.
Any monster caught in the blast will be prevented from taking any action for some number of turns (perhaps with a dropoff dependent on distance from the center of the blast).
If the player is in the blast, the player's base vision range is decreased to 4 for some number of turns, unless the player is wearing light-amp goggles, in which case it is reduced to 1.

For weapon grafting, I was thingking more along the lines of mounting it on the shoulder than the arm (so you could still use big guns logically.) What I don't know is how it would affect dualgunner.

I wonder how the life of a marine that has revolvers instead of hands would look. Besides, it's Hell anyway, which means it's totally OK to have your body parts replaced by lethal devices.

Hmm shouldn't ideas like that go to crappy ideas theard? I suppose that this one is for real suggestions.

I've got an idea which could need to be balanced but is original:
Medical implant or MFDoc XXX (mechanical field doctor model XXX)
I have 2 views of this.
1)
It is cursed and can be equipped as a weapon (and swapped normally).
It is hand implant which can be reloaded with power cells (up to 100). Shift + reload turns it on/off. It uses 1 cell per player action. It stops when power is 0.
What it does is actually caring for your health. When it's powered and something hits you as hard as it would drop your health below 0 it uses more economical med pack right before it happens (small med pack if you'll be higher than 0 with your current health and small med's health, and large otherwise).

Whether this can heal you with more than 1 small med packs at once (if you don't have large ones), ammo, cell consume etc is balance issue.

2)
It's not so original, as it's just simple medpack compresser (reloaded with meds (and possibly 30 power cells per med), has up to 25 charges, shooting (using a charge) heals 7d3 health) Small meds are 1 charge, large are 3 charges. It can have 3 charges when found.

In both views cannot be modded.

BTW: Does anyone anymore treat this theard seriously? Are any of the new uniques inspired by this topic?

I guess you can find the answer by checking the 54 previous pages :p
Anyway, good ideas are often a source of inspiration, so I think it's never lost.

I like your idea, but 1st version, "death preventer" looks too easy for me (even if cells are quite precious). Would rather be something for survivalist trait.
The second one isn't much original, imo, so I'd opt for a third version, with numbers around thoses ones :
 - heals 1 hp for 2 cells on each use. Use time of 0.7 second, so that using it isn't too dangerous, but healing remains slow.
 - cursed, non-modable "weapon".
I think it wouldn't be an incredible item, but could have some use when you're really short of medpacks, or in AoI. AoMs sould not be able to equipp it, for obvious reasons. (which puts a stupid restriction in the game
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: zenfur on April 23, 2013, 15:51
I'm glad to have inspired you.

I don't like the exact version of my suggestion, so I posted it in 2 versions and I hoped someone will improve it. I agree (and I wrote that) that 2nd one isn't original at all.

Although I am not certain about transforming cells into hp, as it can be easily farmed (in AoD, or N!) and even you haven't got any meds, you can keep some former/archatron corpses in a butchery and go there to restock your healing when things go wrong. I wanted to make it med pack dependant, and somewhat of portable god-mode (considered it not so OP as we already have berserk/invul globes). Another approach was steady healing. Your reinterpretation may be better in my view, but it still needs some tweaks imo.

Damage: (6+n)d6 fire damage, radius 3+n, where n=number of consecutive altfires before firing, 1.0 fire time. Chance to turn tiles within radius into lava.
Altfire: (6+n)d6 fire damage, radius 3+n centered on player, where n=number of consecutive altfires, 1.0 fire time. Chance to turn tiles within radius into lava. Increases damage and radius of normal fire per altfire to a maximum of 11d6 and 8 radius. Successive altfires increase the damage by 1d6 and radius by 1 (first altfire shot causes 7d6 fire damage with radius 4, centered on player, second causes 8d6 and radius 5, next causes 9d6 and radius 6, etc.) and are double the ammunition cost of previous altfire (first altfire costs 2, next costs 4, next costs 8, etc.) to a maximum of 5 consecutive altfires. Sixth consecutive altfire or first altfire to result in a negative ammunition value will cause fatigue, discharge the weapon, set the ammunition to 0, and nuke the level.

Also take out the nuke at negative ammo, it's way too exploitable when coupled with the nuke resistance.

"Weak-sauce"

Shotgun.
Normal spread, 7% drop-off.
1.0 sec fire time, 1.0 sec reload time.
1 shot magazine, uses 1 shell.
1d3 damage.
Level range 4+

"A shotgun that shatters the pellets into bird-shot upon firing. Little more than a nuisance to demons."

Basic use of the weapon is to radar scout and corner-shoot/scout without popping barrels. Massively useful for any build, horribly over-powered (but not in the same way as other weapons), and extremely easy to implement. Newer players may think it's a joke weapon, but anyone who's destroyed a heap of good items or blocked a lot of passages with lava will realize just how good this is. 1 damage will always set off monster AI, but you'll still have all the items around them. Maybe change the damage to 2d3 or 3d3 so it's not too good at what it does.

I think you're overestimating the impact of exploding barrels. Enemies dying in a fire with little ammo investment and no danger to player is worth more than any destroyed items...

Good point, but there's every other kind of shotgun for that. I thought the Weak-sauce would make for a different style of shotgun but still using the same shotgun rules. It's still powerful to a degree, but because of it's weakness in combat, not it's strength. Just a different take on the "uber-weapon-'o-death" that sometimes gets suggested.

I'd still be inclined to think that I've died a few times due to blowing up medi-packs, health-spheres and super-chargers. Many of which I probably never knew were there. I thought I was doing a good thing by blowing up unseen monsters with unseen barrels, but a bet a hell of a lot of other things got destroyed at the same time. Things I really could have used.

I have half on an idea, not even sure if this is even possible.

So I remember the acid spitter, and I thought "well, what about something that uses the dead bodies of your enemies?"

Like, a corpse spitter, perhaps? You can reload the gun/cannon by standing on a corpse. Main mode of firing launches all the ammo, and it'd hit like a rocket with splash damage, as well as covering the floor with blood. Alternate fire would be a weaker shot, hitting a single opponent for a fraction of the ammo cost.

my opinion - not new uniques, but delete some of existent. If RNG so favorite and one of uniques spawns, it must be really GOOD thing. Not a junk like Mjolnir, or Flack shotgun. Or rebalance them.
And keep chances equivalent: if exist unique pistols like GCB, Trigun, AFJ - then must exist 3 of unique shotguns (not only Jackhammer) and unique rapid-fire 10mm like minigun.

Duckfoot (http://pirates.missiledine.com/images/Pistols/duckfoot/duckfoot3.jpg)
Counts as double shotgun; opposite direction of improvement: instead of increasing spread cone in length (as in super shotgun), we increase width!

"Hitscan", to say so. IIRC, something less crazy with 45 degree spread was proposed, yet never done. OP since damaging pellets from Doom aren't implemented (yet?), but diferent cones are yet to be played with. For more clarification and less silly name it can be assembly called "sawed-off double shotgun" (like in Fallouts).

Name: Flashlight
Class: Melee Weapon
Attack: 1d6
Special Effect when equipped: After each move extend the light radius by 2 or 3 in a smallish cone in the direction of movement (light radius stays unchanged when waiting)
Description: [Some witty Doom 3 reference about duct tape]

+1 for the Flashlight idea. It's more or less useless but I like it anyway.

Well, one way or another, here's some ideas from me!

Code: [Select]
Name: Hammerfist
Class: Melee Weapon
Damage: 4d3x3 + 1d6
Alternate Fire: Single Fire
Alternate damage: 4d3 + 1d6
Ammo: Shotgun Shells
Special: 3 cell knockback, 1 cell for single fire.
Description: For the times when just smashing their faces is not nearly enough.

Also, we need more pistols because I <3 pistols. Also, there needs to be more early game weapons, especially on higher difficulty levels, though it'd be nice if they scaled to later game too.

Code: [Select]
Name: Double Pistol
Class: Pistol
Damage: 2d5x2
Ammo capacity: 10
Rarity: Found early to mid game, semi-rare.
Alternate Fire: Single Fire (obviously)
Description: Two pistols packed into one, almost.

Code: [Select]
Name: Utility Pistol / Utility Pistol (w/ knife)
Class: Special
Damage: 2d7, pistol perk bonuses apply
Melee Damage: 2d5 (with knife), melee bonuses apply
Reload time: 0.8s
Alternate Fire: Shoot knife
Alternate Fire damage: 2d10
Alternate Reload: Load knife
Alternate reload time: 2s
Special: Aside from normal ammo supply, increased damage, and decreased reload time, this pistol allows the user to attach a knife to it and use the Utility Pistol as a melee weapon, additionally, you can shoot them.
Description: The true survivalist's tool, comes with a knife attachment slot and doubles as a melee weapon. And you can shoot the knife as well!

Code: [Select]
Name: The Bloodletter
Class: Pistol
Damage: 1d8
Ammo: 60
Fire time: 0.4s
Reload time: 2s
Special: Uses 5 ammo per shot, reload by standing on corpses, each corpse yields 7-11 ammo
Description: A vile gun borne in hell, this small. nasty, syringe-shaped pistol fires frozen hellspawn blood imbued with evil sharp enough to pierce a man.


Pardon the format that isn't in line with what the wiki/game uses, but I can't be botheredddd.

EDIT: Increased the Bloodletter's fire time from 0.2s to 0.4s since I didn't notice how overpowered it was earlier.

Shame on you, people. I haven't seen this kind of insane stuff since... well, I lost track of what was the last insane thing here.

Code: [Select]
Carnage Shotgun
Type: Special Combat Shotgun
Damage: 9d4
Clip Size: 6
Ammo used: Missiles. Yup, missiles. 1 per shot
Accuracy: ... It's a shotgun. Usual shotgun accuracy, which means it's +0, but with hitscan capabilities
Area of Effect: Focused
Firetime: 1.0s
Reload: 1.7s
Blast Radius: +2 to each enemy hit.

One-handed Rocket Launcher

A pistol class weapon, with six rocket barrels.
Normal fire sends one rocket downrange, and Alt fire lets everything loose with the user taking damage for every rocket after the first.
Accuracy would be like a shot gun in alt fire mode and user would be thrown in the other direction as the alt fire shot.

Sorry of this is confusing.

I like the flashlight. Make it moddable (PT) into a laser knife, or PTN for a lightsaber. Both do plasma damage, have .8 sec attack, knife does 2d6 damage, saber does much more, and grants plasma resistance if you have Malicious Blades.

Here's one I've been wishing existed a long time:

Auto-phase device
If it's in your inventory when you die, then instead of dying you are teleported.
Depth: 1+
--Note: It might also heal the player, as no-one want to be teleported only to be immediately shot again before getting a turn.

This has been discussed before. I would think a depth level of +1 would be too unbalanced, but I do support the idea that in special cases, if you die, you can respawn. What if its if you die in only an extremely special way?
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: ZicherCZ on April 30, 2014, 18:42
How about this:
When you have this item in possession when you die, you are randomly teleported with exactly 1HP and monsters are "stunned" for 4s (the same grace time you get upon entering new level). You get your second chance, so use it well. Of course, the item has to be unique, only one spawned per game, and maybe some med-packs nerf during the grace time might be in order as well.
Just a thought at nearly 3am here :).
Title: Re: New unique items
Post by: Sum Gai on May 10, 2014, 20:19
The stun is a pretty awesome idea.

I figured a large effect wouldn't be that big a deal for a unique drop. After all we find medpacks all over the place.

An idea from Pixel Dungeon: if you die and respawn, you lose all the inventory.
Probably it will be left lying at the "death" location. This should make a pretty pitiful respawn, especially if a Hell Baron picks up your spare Red Armor [N] and 6 Large Medkits. You might wish you died instead :-E

Repulsion Armor (2) (rare, not unique). Melee 80%, bullet 15%, shrapnel 15%.
An aura of unknown force field glows around this armor!
Feature: hitting an enemy with your fist causes titanic kickback, throwing him literally through the whole level unless a wall stops him.
