World Damage Dummies

Damage dummies are great, they serve their purpose extremely well

but they have two issues in my opinion that (after seeing people go overboard in #class-builds) I’m not the only one who has thought of this

Currently, they do not give powder charge, this could be fixed by making them neutral with 0xp, loot, or damage to keep them the same as now. Another idea is to make it so they can’t be moved as currently arrow bomb, bash, uppercut, arrow shield, etc just gets them stuck in walls. (I have 0 clue how mobs work, but I believe there are some other mobs that can’t be moved[no source but I think there is? ])

also I do realise knockback allows for some combos, but having my dummy stuck in a wall isn’t fun it just makes me sad

 

Why not a full arena to test out builds that you made, or want to test out generally?

 

I think the current damage dummies in Detlas definitely need to have zero knockback, but I also like the idea of a separate large and open arena, with a similar block structure to the Mummyboard boss fight in Legendary Island - allowing you to go all out with knockback and powder charging combos.

 

Since when has Detlas had damage dummies? The only cities Ive seen with dummies are Troms and Ragni.

 

Hidden in a corner

 

Yeah, they walk around all over the pla- oh, you meant actual dummies, not just citizens. Right. Yeah, it has some of those too.

 

boompty boomp, also another idea was that you could still move them up, but not sideways but I don't think that would be easy to make (so that uppercut works better)

 

This will require a lot of recoding because as of right now, the blue tagged mobs (guards) will go after red tag mobs (assuming you just make the combat dummies red tag). So if you want to make the green tag dummies to be able to charge up powders ( which I assume will be global change) this can be abused in a lot of locations.

 

What about yellow tag mob with same hp, no movement and 0 kB?

 

I forgot to mention that one, surely you have seen the elves in rodoroc that get destroyed by the guards right?

 

If they can't turn em red, I think maybe making it so that they can charge powders based off of a tag or something maybe?

 

Iirc the guard target those, yes? Make them like outside aggro wouldn’t be so hard

 

You should apply for the dev team

 

Plz no I still want daylight

 

You could also add right clicking on the stand would open a compass layout thing where you can give it stats, like ele defs (sry Druser), reflection, thorns, and skill point interfaces (for air's Dodge, fire's Defence, etc.

 

Like only for you, or for everyone? If its for everyone people will just set it to 99999999999999 then leave just to be annoying prob

 

It would reset after not taking damage for 30 sec, but ur right it could get annoying.
