Brief Mordor Suggestions

<< < (29/38) > >>

FRGCWRU:
Hello,

Thanks for the mod. I'm pretty content with most choices made regarding the mod, so I don't actually have any significant suggestions.

I am unaware whether this has been proposed before, but I think Sauron's "Dark Will" ability should not be a time-restricted ability, but rather a togglable one (with a countdown so it can't be exploited). If it's enabled it should disable all his other spell abilities save for maybe Dark Sorcery to heal his wounds.

That way you kind of have a way to give Sauron a more physical and immediate presence like his arrival during The Last Alliance, while giving the player a way to give him a little more backbone so you don't have to keep an eye on him constantly. His gaining of the ring was supposed to put an end to Middle-earth after all.

Just a small suggestion though.

Welcome to the forum.

First of all, I don't think this suggestion is a bad idea, but there are some things that are a  bit problematic.
The movement speed bonus the abilitiy grants him would be really usefull as a permanent effect. When out of battle, it would be far better to use the ability to quickly move from one place to another, which contradicts Saurons the fact that his slow speed is his main weakness.
Furthermore, disabling other abilities while Dark Will is active would cause players too use as many abilities as possible, then switch to Dark Will until the abilities have reloaded and the same again.

FRGCWRU:
Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

Should he be that slow a force? Not doubting or trying to knock you, genuinely asking because I don't have a specific recollection from the lore stating so.

Your concern about that exploit is troublesome for sure. Hence the suggestion of countdown setting for the "Dark Will" ability. Like you can only enable it every 5 minutes or something, and once enabled it'll take at least 5 minutes before you get the option to change back. Or if this is possible, make it so that whenever you have it disabled and use an ability other than Dark Will it will set the "Dark Will" ability countdown timer back another 60 seconds or so. I don't know what's possible scripting wise though.

FG15:
It's less aboult lore and more about game design. Sauron is probably the strongest hero in the mod both considering raw values and his abilities. So there needs to be some kind of weakness. He is absolutly deadly, but only if he gets close enough to his enemies.

5 minutes would work, but such a long countdown could be really frustrating for players. The other one is theoretically possible, but it is hell of work to code and not worth that much trobule in my opinion.

FRGCWRU:
I see. Just hope it will be considered. I kind of like the idea that he can transfer his power into his physical prowess with the consequence that he foregoes his other abilities. Right now he can do both at the same time, while there's little reason not to. And it seems a little weird that he could only augment himself for short periods yet still have all other spells available simultaneously. It would also go great with the theme of Sauron's versatility/transformations.
