What I would like to see in 1.7.0

Loony · Apr 17, 2015

Hey everyone,
I'm just going to post the main things that I want to see in 1.7.0 and you can tell me what you think of the ideas, and post your own below.

Avatar Combo's
I would love to see Avatar combo's!
Imagine a Fire Blast and Earth Blast combo, where it would send a flaming bolder at your enemy, exploding on impact.
How cool does that sound?

Earth Combo's
PLEASE!
Maybe then server's wouldn't feel the need to have 500 add-on abilities.
Combo's aren't just about having another move or doing more damage.
They're about flexibility, manoeuvre (in my opinion anyways).
Something that can aid you in a fight.
This is something that Earth really needs. Combo's would help make it a more "stand your ground" type of element (depending on the combo's that's is), because currently, the majority of player's fit into two category's; Spam Raise Earth Noob and Spam Earth Blast.
So yeah, Earth Combo's, please make it happen.

Side Plugins Implimented
I think some side plugins should be implemented. Plugins like Bending Preview, Bending Info and Bending Board (that could be disabled in the config) should just come with the Core plugin. Especially Bending Preview, that is very useful.

Default Config Changes
I already made a post about this, but the short version is;
I think the default config needs a complete re-work.
In my opinion, moves do too much damage.
I believe a move should help towards a kill but not win the fight for you. Currently, I think there are moves that win a fight for you, and people are relying on certain moves too much.

Firebending Utility Moves
I would like to see Firebending start to have more moves or passives that are useful outside the arena. Maybe a move that leaves a trail of fire where you have walked so you don't get lost in those dark caves?
I admit, might be hard to think of utilities for Firebending, but it would be nice to see.

And finally,
When doing /b w Loonytoon it says 'Concept Designer' (;

If you want me to expand on anything just ask.
Thanks for reading,
~Loony

This could probably just be a earthbender bending stone that is on fire like what toph did, or it could just be lavabending. I think we don't really need this.

Are you talking about the earth blast fire blast avatar combo?
It was just a quick example.

We aren't try1ng to give avatars extremely unbalancing non-canon aspects as far as I know.

They don't have to be over powered. I gave the fireblast earthblast combo as an example of what an avatar combo would be (different element moves combined).
I said in the post that I think a combo isn't about the damage or an extra move, ect.
Non-canon aspects? I'm pretty sure the Avatar could make a bolder then light it on fire..

Avatars already have every combo, I don't think we need to be giving them combos for themselves and nobody else.

Avatars could have every combo but it means sacrificing a better move for a combo move. Instead of having for example earth armor, which would help a lot in fights. I have to replace that for airburst for the air sweep combo. Which I would only use when doing the combo.

I think Avatar's deserve combo's. You are usually Avatar through donations, so it would be nice to give something more to those who donate. Granted I think they should require more skill to use because they're Avatar combo's.

I don't think the default config is going to change, it's pretty balanced as it is.. Servers can easily change everything in the plugin, so it's really their choice..

It isn't balanced, at all.
Yes, server owners can change it, but the player's can't.

Just talk to the server owner... Changing the config won't balance it for the server, being the current config would be like a 'non-default' config if the default config changed..

Sometimes they might not listen to reason.
And you're right, if they've changed the config it wouldn't reset it, but at least future server's would ba balanced.

They can always change it to what they want though, it doesn't matter what PK does to the config..

They can but server owner's don't usually drastically change config's. They might have a look through and change a move or two but the majority stays the same.

It's when they change a move or two that the config becomes unbalanced.. Default config is pretty well balanced

I don't think it is, and even if it was, I think the moves do too much damage.

If a server owner doesn't want to change the configuration to your standards, chances are you're the minority on that server. We're not here to push ideas onto server owners.

It isn't just me who thinks that things are unbalanced on the servers that I've been on though, that's my point.

Thing is, there are plenty of 'bad' and 'good' servers and it's not our place to regulate them if they clearly do not want to change anything.

Moved this to general discussion, This wasn't really a suggestion for a move(s) as much as it was you stating your opinion and wanting other's opinion aswell.
