New Items - Ideas?

[Barnubus]

Seems like quite a few new things are coming out on the update, and I was wondering if they were plans or restrictions for them?
The beacons (and their 8 seconds buffs), dyeing armor, the new mobs, and more.

Just curious to see how it might change Herocraft, if at all. Opinions, ideas?! Post em!

Pumpkin Pie FTW!

Hah, I was thinking maybe some guilds will use colored armor, or maybe it'll be restricted to donators?
There a ton of new stuff that'll change the game.

Dyed armors will make raids for Caster groups easier when using a noticeable color, so they wont try to waste Fireballs on each other.

Item frames may need their own theft/griefing rules. According to the wiki the griefing rules only apply to blocks not entities. It should be noted that paintings and item frames are entities, not blocks.

Mob heads and beacon blocks may need to be considered for the list of blocks considered valuable and okay to grief like Diamond and gold blocks.

Wither's should probably have their block breaking ability removed, or have it so that the blocks they break regenerate. That way raiders don't spawn one right outside a town and let it level the town. I'd be pretty upset if Withers were prevented from spawning in the main world.

I got a suggestion for the Beacon,
we can set the beacon as the pivot of a town. That way, we can have proper war where the attacker will try to destroy the beacon and the defenders will try to defend the Beacon. When the Beacon's health point reaches to zero, the attackers will win and receive a bounty from the defenders. On the other hand, if the defenders defended the beacon over 20minutes, then the attackers will give a bounty to the defenders.

I have a similar idea like this for the beacons, towns should have a beacon in the center of the town, and that applies certain buffs to all the town members, inside the town, That way higher level raiders can't just come and destroy the town, they townspeople have a higher chance of victory.

I think it be cool if special Dyed Armor like White x3 is restricted to certian classes and give special buffs. Like lets say: Armored dyed Cyan x3 only warriors can use and give extra HP. Just things like that.
Also create Boss Mobs which uses Potion Effects (Already inplace) Dyed Armor (Zombies, and Skellies,) And some custom API. I was actually thinking create 16 or so SUPER bosses and the first player to kill one will get to make his/her own Legendary class (Something VERY unlikely but be awesome if that did happen.)

 

[Symbolite]

For the new potions I'd say allow us use of the Night Vision potion. I think the Invisibility potion might be a little to OP, so I'd disable that.

 

[flamingcoop]

i think each town needs a colour for a flag and clothing for when they go to war also i think you should make it so mobs can't pass though portals

 

[donaldmax1]

If that happens how will I make Invisible creepers for the TC to play with?

 

[PanFlake]

Invisibility potions: crafted by alchemists, used by ninjas, set amount of invisibility time. (ninja+ invisibility = win)
<--- Not a ninja. (Beguiler ftw!)

 

[Dazureus]

Wonder if we can scatter customized mobs into everyday spawns... How's that for scary?

Ought to use invis/night vision in skills.
Ought to control Wither spawning (only in a designated, Endstone-covered arena?).
Ought to not control zombie villager spawning at all ever.
Ought to let the players do fun things with dyed armor, instead of enforcing fun things to be done with dyed armor.
Ought to add a MassSpawnBat ability.
Ought to let Beacons be used as decoration, because I can think of a number of fun architectural applications for that beam of light. Maybe prevent them from giving buffs under normal circumstances...?
Ought to add all the dungeons. Including class-specific ones. I need to be an Architect.

I think giving scribes the ability to dye armor would really add something to scribe. Anyone should be able to wear it but not dye it.

While they're not specifically stated within the rules they still count.

 

[Haxnn]

So items frames would not be stealable? I don't think they should be if they are.

 

[Roadkill909]

While they're not specifically stated within the rules they still count.

The point I was trying to make was that they should be specifically stated. Many of the rules on the wiki could and should be more clearly defined.

Not arguing that but we're revamping the rules atm anyway.

From what I understand a lot of the Mob things in 1.4 arnt coming to HC... did that change?

I started looking into 1.4 today and now I'm kinda excited for this. I'm wondering what HC will do with this. So many opportunities for Farmers and other specs because of these changes.

 

[Enderless117]

Invisibility potions should only work on mobs not players. This would keep a use for the potions so it is not just a decretive item. Or ninjas could get a mega invisibility buff eg. smoke lasts for 4 mins which would be crazy op.
