The Cursed [New Race]

jokerxdude · March 2010

Well the other side will be opened eventually, why not start? Anyways, what about a race that is darker than any of the other races. Perhaps a race that was part of the Wraiths that are fighting for their humanity. No one knows of the race because they just parted from the other wraits and are still trying to decide right from wrong.

Fruitluips - Lost City · March 2010

We should have orcs and giraffes and **** marriage and the ability to play as a Venomancer's pet

Silvychar - Sanctuary · March 2010

Hmm, I really like the way you structure your post.

I also think that a dark/vampire race would be awesome. (maybe let them have two different eye colours, instead of fixed ones)
They should have claw-like hands and yeah, fangs when smiling are great.
Scars and tattoos on their faces, and on their bodies would make them look much more savage and such.

This dark race should use some kind of astral and shadow-like creatures as flying mounts (not restricted to creatures with wings of course!) like an astral/shadowlike tiger-like / wolf-like / bat-like / dragon-like monster.

The names of the classes are great, but I think we dont need any more DD's, we need another summoner and healer class.

So let the Night Hunter be able to summon restricted-to-class wraiths/pets,
and Shadow Specters be another healer/debuffer class.

And about the meditation... I'd rather suggest letting them standing upright, with folded arms/ claws over faces, in some desperate, savage phase (maybe letting them shake in pain aswell) ...

Hmm... the weapons... those Katras are already ingame as fists/claws I think.... and those ankhs look a bit like wands...

Maybe some psy weap' like orbs flying around the heads of the Shadow Specters...

and for the Night Hunters some armlong battle gloves with spikes and thorns at the forearm and long bloody claws at the fingers... to differentiate those gloves from fists/claws and such, make them glowing/ add mist...

Hmm, well now, that's all for now...

Nightveil - Harshlands · March 2010

yeah i like what ya got going there. I would however like to see some type of life drain or a spell similar to shadow priests in wow, that you can curse your target and a percentage of the damage that you deal heals you and your squad within range. Probably for the caster class. As for the melee class maybe some sort of health regen through damage such as the assasins have but a lil different maybe. Just something to think on. I do think that if the caster had a summoned pet, that would be awsome. Not make it as tough of a tank like venos but more of a support pet. One for eating magic or doing the aura that you were talking about. One for more of a physical damage absorber but instead of an aura for it, have a stackable debuff that reduces the physical attack of target. And last but not least, one that can do minor decurseing and minor healing possibly to squad members. Nothing too big but just something that is different from the norm and beneficial. it would be nice to have a pet that could tank some maybe if you all think it would be considerable. Let it be like a zombie with a decay aura of about 3 to 5 meters that deals damage to all Mobs around it. Just dont wanna destroy the veno class but have something as an alternative. There are those of us out there who would love a necro class of some sort. We like the dark side.

Aseroth - Heavens Tear · March 2010

the cursed eh? well what if they did have something to do with the wrathes? but instead of being part of them they were trapped by the very demons who made the wrathes? and instead of skin they can be made of a black armor and they can have these demonic like wings and they can be based on darkness.

maybe a misunderstood race perhapse? there reason to fight against this evil could be that darkness and evil r in 2 differant catigories because darkness is an element and evil is...bad.

and there bodies can be made of pure darkness incased in an armor shell and instead of armor they can use magic carvings for a substitute since they already have armor.

and they can fly on an aura of darkness and i even have a good city for them.

a whole new demention! the yin yang demention. and maybe there can be a god of darkness vs the god of evil in the story.

Aseroth - Heavens Tear · March 2010

and what if they had the power to transfer there aura of darkness and they can use it on enemy or aliy like it can drain hp/mp from an enemy and will power up or heal a friend.

and something like shadow gaze they can shoot a beam of dark power from there face.

I actually was thinking of the katars as this: http://www.robheller.com/images/blog/illidan_final.png

Or how about the blade morps to a whip (Like claw whip)?

Ya, I guess the wands need to be different. Hmm... Puppeter gloves? Like fists but are magic-able?

I read all of you guys' post and added.b:thanks

Kittennice - Heavens Tear · March 2010

Night hunter sounds sexyb:dirty. I'd probably get my life to half just to see my summon pet >.<
Double-bladed katara looks cool. I'm in on this race!

I think their skin should be lighter because you don't want them to blend into their black starter gear. As for the SS, gloves would be fine. Have them as misty and twirl around the wrist to arms to make them look like power is wrapping around them. Symbols on them would be nice but not too much. I want a plain face in one of the presents. BTW what's razor chain?

Maddieson - Sanctuary · March 2010

Ah, yes. Your post looks wonderfully set up. But, they need to work on fixing the Tideborn release first. Adding other classes will just add to the chaos.

Katars? I only know good ol' Illidan's weapon as Warglaive... and since we have Glaives ingame as magic weapons... Hmm.. whips... if they're not just normal leather whips... maybe whips out of darkness/energy/light/metal, like chain whips?

http://www.kingofswords.com/images/TheDarkPrinceofPrusiaDaggerTail.jpg

And those gloves... hm.... like fists.... that would be boring somehow...

Im still fixed on battle orbs, like Kael'thas has some flying around his head b:laugh

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d11/TCraido/Kaelthas.jpg

Or.... real staffs? Not worn like patakas, just held straight in hands...

Like Medivh holds Atiesh...^^

http://images.wikia.com/wow/fr/images/3/30/Medivh.jpg

Ofcourse those staffs would look great, shiny and glowing and different and such....

-Silvy

Aseroth - Heavens Tear · March 2010

the cursed have claws eh? y not talons?

Aseroth - Heavens Tear · March 2010

not vampire but sython. a dark spirit that has control over the powers of shadow and there medetation can be there wings unfolded there standing up floating in the air and a dark aura around them.

dark acceptance can be an ability too.

the sython convinces a friend to accept the dark power within him and in return the darkness protects them.

and instead of magic gloves they can use talon like gauntlents they can glow with a hellish aura and cool stuff like that.

Aseroth - Heavens Tear · March 2010

and they can have armor for skin and wear magic runes for protection.

and another power dark pulse!: the sython fills the enemy's veins with darkness and poisons it.

After trying to look up what you mean by Sython, I came to the conclusion that you maybe mean a python? o_o Otherwise Ive got no clue.

Anyway, about meditation, I made up my mind, and I think the Cursed should be meditate

a) like transforming into a stone sculpture like gargoyles (<= stupid idea, nvm, b) is loads cooler)

b) with folded arms, claws over eyes/faces (like I already mentioned) and maybe with spread shadow wings...

That meditation would be like a "true form" of the Cursed, like fallen angels or so...

BTW, I think you shouldnt triple post, Aseroth, better edit your previous post^^
And stick to more to the OP's topic (=> create another thread)

-Silvy

Aseroth - Heavens Tear · March 2010

no not python sython (sigh-thun) i made it up wat do u think eh?

and the medetation maybe they can turn into shadows and a dark aura can surround them.

i also thought that maybe the sython should be crafty like they could be like ninjas and stuff.

and maybe they can have eyes like 2 small stars in there face.
u know that flashy kinda light like a dark wishing star.

Azarielle - Lost City · March 2010

A dark class would be awesome! Maybe they can be spirit like too.. Like be able to summon/send demons out after people, or maybe even possess them...
That maybe a little too dark though, but i love the idea!b:victory

Kittennice - Heavens Tear · March 2010

OMG! Like duur, why haven't I thought of it before. Have the SS have a reaper scyth for a magic weap.b:cute

jokerxdude · March 2010

They aren't called vampires, they're Night Hunters...

I don't think we should give them wings again. That would make the elves feel bad because the Tideborn took the same mount idea. We need more people on the weapon ideas. The staffs I think would be kind of dull. A chain scythe? When walking it's a regular scythe but in battle mode it seperates into a chain.

I grouped both of your meditations together. True from would be arms folded with eyes closed and dark fog around them.

The stars can be a an alternative for the tattoos in the presents.

Can you give me skills for it, Aseroth? You gave what it would look like but not the exact description. Poison is already taken by venomancers.

Honestly, I'm not sure about claws. I don't want them to look deformed or anything lol. Talons I think are more for the untamed. =/

Eliseo - Lost City · March 2010

Skills sounds kind of overpowered? At least the the ones of the melee class.

Dark classes would be great but i doubt that this thread have some influence because everything that is here, on International, cames first from chinese version

Sorry for clicking the bubble.

jokerxdude · March 2010

They aren't finalized skills. I'm trying to fix them so they won't be.

And not everything came from the chinese version. Nightfall is a PWI input and also the fashion along with the new added descriptions. Anything is possible.

Lol, things were already broken before the TB came outb:chuckle.

On tpic... Maybe their pets can hang out with them when they aren't battling. I wanna be able to see my pet more often. I don't wanna go to half health just to see it.

Omg! haxxorzzz, i had this idea 1st >.<
I made a thread on this b:sad
wraith race ftw... b:cry

anyways gj nice description and stuff

Silvychar - Sanctuary · March 2010

Wow,

this thread is growing! That's very good.

Well now to the point:

But first, about using scythes, there are already scythes ingame -> Polearms

Weapons:

Night Hunters - Chain Whips

And still for the other class magical orbs flying around their heads, lets call them . . .

Orbs.

Those could be like ranged weapons ( but dealing only magic attack, + need ammunation => Soul fragments, costs = same cost of bolts, arrows etc.)

Both weapon types should be available for all classes, not like Soulspheres and Daggers <.<

-Silvy

P.S.

Ah btw, before I forget, since I started also a new race thread several ... months ago, there should be some nice ideas in there, which could be adapted to the Cursed (=> starting area, background, just say, the Cursed are some kind of vampire/desert nomads...; and the pets for the Night Hunter <- demon versions of them, just the branch idea is nice, I think)
Here's the link:

jokerxdude · March 2010

Ok, I'll check it out. Thanksb:victory.

Also I'm not sure about the orbs flying around the head. I think they have to be on the hand. But I'll put it up though. Should they have a blindfold over their eyes with flames twirling around their head?

I do like the ammunition idea.

Hmm.. puppet master handles? Something like that. I'm just throwing out ideas.

Blindfolds? That's just awesome O.O That could be new generation weapon kind, imagine different blindfold types and invisible strings coming out of the caster's hands ...

Or imagine blindfolds + flying orbs (would be like a fusion of Illidan and Kael'thalas O_o)

But let's stick to the ammunition Soul fragments

-Silvy

jokerxdude · March 2010

Alright so we have blindfolds and the ammunition part. Ammunition for a casterb:chuckle lol. It would not harm their not being able to do magic, just not as strong. Perhaps when empty, it turns into strings and they hold their hands down and not up.

So the small orbs circling their hand ca be the ammo, which is thrown to cast every spell and the strings are the (out of ammo/ not really strong spells)

The blindfold can just be a "mind focus" thing. So it is equiped on the face like the bow/crossbow is equipped to the archer. The blindfold differs as do the orbs. So lv 1 gets a black blindfold and black flame orbs, while lv29 gets dark purple with purple orbs ad such.

And that can work to tell it you're out of ammo or not, plus if they have a weapon equipped or not. Thier mind is their weapon lol.
