hey everyone
in an attempt to bring back the concept of WSG & revert the utterly flawed changes with good intentions that were aimed specifically towards
Player Vs Player & only apply towards Player Vs Player by the individuals in control
i came up with a fitting model for Diablo 2 Resurrected on all fronts
that will improve the overall quality of the game visually & playability wise.
The model & featured mechanic is based on D2 Lore / Story & understanding of core fundamental PvP design in ARPG etc.
a good game design consists not solely but to a very large margin on the possibility of applying Crowd Control
there are different forms and a large variety of CC
the one that needs attention in D2 R is called Stun and the repeatability of Stun , Stunlocking a Target in Place
for a reasonable amount of frames within the game
while offering a mechanic that is based on player input having the potential to negate those
( this is what WSG was )
The new model / mechanic is called Tyraels Wings & only applies to Player Vs Player which also serves partially as a hostile indicator
Reason ? look above & or - > Faster Hit Recovery / Stun /Diminishing Returns / Immunity Frames / KnockBack / Player Vs Player
Tyraels Wings properties:
Displays Tyraels Wings on a Character upon being hostiled
Displays Tyraels Wings on a Character that is hostile
Tearing off Tyraels Wings results in the loss of having Tyraels Wings on your Character displayed
( When your Character torn Tyraels Wings off & is being hostile towards a new Player or hostiled by a new Player
a Character displays Tyraels Wings until torn off again ) [ Hostility Indicator ]
Tearing off Tyraels Wings will be assigned to “Mercenary Screen” ( Controls )
Tearing off Tyraels Wings via the “Mercenary Screen” wont open the Mercenary Screen when your Mercenary is dead
Tearing off Tyraels Wings via the “Mercenary Screen” will open the Mercenary Screen when your Mercenary is alive
Tearing off Tyraels Wings results in resetting your Faster Hit Recovery Animation / ( frames while stunned ) ( or partially lower it )
Tearing off Tyraels Wings can be used indefinitely
Tearing off Tyraels Wings after Tyraels Wings are torn off already will be indicated by a tiny visual effect / animation
this is 1 idea it can be replaced with another one that might also fits D2 Lore etc.
let me know if you like this intended feature which doesnt go against the game design
but rather supports it & the lore / story behind D2 at the same time simultaneously
thoughts , changes , ideas appreciated
have a good week !
some quotes
Tyrael
“He has intervened for the sake of humankind time and again, for he sees the potential for heroism and selflessness in each of us. He has even acted against the mandates of his fellow Council members to fight on our behalf. For that alone I always have and always will believe in him.”
“Tyrael does not understand. He cannot see beyond the glory of battle. In time, he may. But that day is not yet here.”
“I did call them abominations…and I was wrong! My vote is for them…For I would see what they might become…and marvel in it.”
—Tyrael vouches for humanity’s continued existence
“What happened when you destroyed the Worldstone?”
“The resultant explosion dispersed the light and harmony of my angelic being. Without form or shape, I restored myself within the realm of Pandemonium. It took me twenty of your years, but finally I returned home to the High Heavens.”
“You cannot judge me. I am justice itself! We were meant for more than this! To protect the innocent! But if our precious laws bind you all to inaction…then I will no longer stand as your brother.”
“Forevermore we shall stand together, angels and men, in the light of this glorious new dawn.”
