Alright, nice to see changes happening
Good things:

1. Increased EMB usage
2. Time limit
3. Cooldown
4. Mini-punishment for using the elytra for as long as possible, similar to the sprint bar

Bad things:

1. No specific time limit

So overall, a definite positive change. All you need to do is work out a limit that's fair and balanced without being too good. For that, you may need to work out how fast it goes and some other details. A good way to test would be on a flat world and see how far you can go in however much time, then work up or down from that point.

 

While I like the idea of this I feel like it's a bit dumb. Being only able to teleport to the Corkus City is pointless. It would be nice if you could decide exactly what city to teleport. Let's say you are in Ahmsord doing 1000 Meters Under and your EMB life is below 8-10%. You'll get teleported to Corkus City and now have to go all the way back to Amshord which would be quite annoying. I also feel like it should only activate not only when your EMB life is below 8-10% but also when your actual life is below 100HP. That way even if you have a lot of life and the EMB is quite low on battery you should still be able to stay where you are without the risk of teleporting halfway across the map. Yes you could argue that you can just switch the spell but what if someone wants to have Lifesaver but just doesn't want to end up in Corkus. Just an idea though.

Go-Go Gadget Corkian Thing. +1 my dude

 

Don't worry i'll figure that time thing out, thinking a flight time of 15-20 seconds is fair or it can be longer flying but at a longer cooldown.

This is more ment as a back-up thing. It sends you to corkus city because that's where the charging station for your EMB is. Maybe some quests like 1000 meters could be altered to compensate.

Now that i think of it, Lifesaver and Tinker/Operate can be defualts always on your EMG + 1-3 abilities of your choice. Just a thought to through out here publicly for comments.

Correction: "Go-Go Gadget Badass Gauntlet of Badassery."

Legit took me this comment to correlate Mr. gadget with my idea... Huh...

 

UPDATE NOT ON THREAD: So, I just did a quick test using the Elytra in vanilla 1.9.4 and got the current info:

My Z started at 1019, I was 152 blocks in the air

The ground Y was 56, and the Z after roughly 37 seconds of gliding (with the F3 crosshair with the red facing left, the blue facing away and was parallel to the ground (give or take a few degrees), the green was pointed up perpendicular to the red and blue) and got the Z of 1870

851 blocks in ~37 seconds from ~100 blocks above the ground is RETARDEDLY POWDERFUL! And I didn't know how OP this thing is! Holy crap!

So, @captainganon thoughts with this? Cause I might as well scrap thus due to being too op from this. If I need to do more testing, I'll be able to do several in a few weeks thanks to Summer Vacation.

Oh yeah, The F5-S7 will be edited to the thread in a few hours!

 

Balanced!

Yeah, right. Some 23/blocks a second? I doubt it starts off that fast, but damn is that way too much. See how far you can go in 5 seconds of gliding from Z/X = 1000 and Y = Ground level + 30 (or any other value) on a flat world. Then, see how far you can go from Y = ~100 (again, not specific), but this time on a normal world. That way it would be a bit more representative of Wynn's landscape.

 

i didn't read the details and all because it's too much for my peanut brain to take in but it's a great, well put together concept. i would love to see the off hand in some action, and especially in some good ass electromagic action. i don't get why people hate 1.9, it's not like its going to change anything in wynn but add more possibilities to expand the game even more

 

Reason why people here hate it is because of having to swap versions to play on PvP servers.

 

Added the stats (without numbers since I have no idea on damage and whatnot) for the F5-s7 Turret!

Will go with that, but my problem with the normal Minecraft world test is how the WC map is vastly different to the terrain of Minecraft. Flat terrain at the height I got was to see some numbers and all that.

If the flight is hypothetically 5 seconds in Wynncraft, there will be a good 120 blocks give or take with flying parallel to the ground. Which now that I see it this way seems quite fair. Flying from the highest you can get on the Molten Heights and Sky Island border could be an easy way to get close the Ahmsord in little time. I'll consider this as the number for now and proceed the test if I get time this week or weekend.

I'm also thinking of altering that EMB:X/Z blocks traveled to track by the 10th block over 5th. So it would be 30 EMB: 10 blocks traveled on the x/z

 

yeah i guess thats fair enough, but 1.9 is still better for wynncraft for people that dont have nasa supercomputer internet, since horses are client side and pretty much lagless

 

Full details of the R23 Turret will be arriving at around 3 CST today!

 

Thread edit: Added the frame for the Discount Bastion Turret!

Comming next is a new ability, nerfing/buffing, and/or details for another turret!

I'm also have an idea I'm fairly sure i didn't mention yet: Tinker/Operate being defualts and you getting to pick 1-3 abilities along with Tinker/Operate. Thoughts?

 

Before I cover any other new features, I'd like to iron this one out. Now, I don't know if you were able to tell, but did you accelerate when using the Elytra? If so, then 5 seconds could be less than ~100 blocks.

Personally, I think 100 blocks is a bit much. The distance should probably be lowered. That, or the cooldown should be raised so it's a once-every-few-minutes option. In doing that, the elytra will be useful for short voyages, but not long-distance travel.

 

Well, over either this weekend or summer break I'll have a friend who could help if there was acceleration. If anything, it can be lowered to 3.5 seconds with would get the flier 80.5 blocks surprisingly, or 3 seconds and get 69 blocks. The first being reasonable yet far...

More testing is definitly required, will get as much data as I can for today when I can.

 

Bumping the thread.

Fun fact: The EMB and Gauntlet were going to be 2 items, and the battery can be transferred between classes. But the one item system seemed better and was changed to that at the last minute.

 

Bumping thread

WIP: Guns and Rockets turret and some numbers for determining the Eyltra.

New option for elytra: infinate flight time just like before me enacting having a flight time, but 50 EMB per 10 blocks (grants 400 blocks traveled with 2000 EMB). Thoughts @captainganon on this?

 

Idea: 2 battery types per tier. The ones already shown are the high capacity but no passive regen, and the other would be low capacity but with a passive recharge (during the day). Thoughts?

Anyone who is actually seeing my not-confirmed ideas?

 

Playin' some good ol Mega Walls?

 

Did. I refuse to play that now. But thoughts on the idea though?

 

Sounds cool to me! But really give it another chance...
