Paragon Challenge reworked

[green moss]

and yes, some of them are made specifically for Ruthven, and some are reminiscent of the game before "that update“.

[jolly urchin]

The game itself needs to be improved upon significantly before worrying about add-ons tbh

Also for fuck sake enemies with items is a terrible idea

[green moss]

ok maybe i should just make it boss & champion only

[jolly urchin]

Bro do you rlly want bosses with afterimage mirror???

[green moss]

i mean i didnt say anything abt what items... but anyway no unless its muno

or maybe human asura, feels like peddler

wait
wait

WAIT NO CHEN'S GETTING NO ITEMS

[jolly urchin]

So you're gonna selectively decide what they can and can't use, now where do you draw the line?
Because there's a ton of absolute bullshit that would ensue
Anything with soul missiles would be undodgeable and hardhat too
Ice bag would make ppl immune to a significant part of Hayfa's dmg

[jolly urchin]

Why's chen the big issue? Shouldn't you be more concerned abt other bosses getting on-hit procs

[green moss]

ice bag can be negated since we already have a challenge for that (the one with immunity to status effect)
soul missiles? currently have no intentions since both items dont really resonate with any of the bosses, aesthetic wise. At most ghost realm boss.

[jolly urchin]

Immunity to status effects makes them immune to control effects not dot

[green moss]

then do a no-hit run you may as well do that 1-hit challenge together

[jolly urchin]

What

[green moss]

though might only be possible with ruthven... oh wait i forgot to specify his life leech dont count towards getting hit

[jolly urchin]

Anyway it also says a lot that you think 1hp no shield is actually a no-hit challenge

[green moss]

i mean, i dont wanna say like items and soulboons are directly banned so...

plus if its 1 hp that means you die instantly upon getting hit

[jolly urchin]

False

[green moss]

huh?

[jolly urchin]

There's a mechanic in owl that prevents you from dying sometimes

I'm sure you've seen it even if you didn't think much of it

When you take lethal dmg you instead survive on 1hp and take 0 damage for the next second

It's available immediately when entering a room and has a 45sec cooldown

[green moss]

wha- ok i'll edit the message then.

[jolly urchin]

Also I don't think I need to explain why adding a no-hit mode to a game with undodgeable attacks is a terrible idea

[green moss]

• fixed the 1 hit statement.
• changed the enemy with items thing into enemies going unflinching.

[jolly urchin]

Bro stop all of this is complete nonsense

Why make blatantly unfair mechanics to make the game harder when you could just tone down the player characters so they don't one-shot everything instantly???

[green moss]

yknow why i made it optional?

plus if they nerf things again i can see people whining and manifesting a sea of screaming souls

[jolly urchin]

They deserve it, since 90% of owl's demographic is new players the ppl who hadn't played the old game wouldn't care
And it would be better in the long run

[jolly urchin]

Also you made it reward essential materials bruh

[green moss]

so, you think ~18 shards per YEAR looks fair for a f2p?

[green moss]

well, i only bless your luck on convincing the whining people.

[jolly urchin]

Fuck no, why are you putting words in my mouth?

Precisely bc frags are so scarce ppl would be forced to play this shit

[green moss]

yeah so that's why i made it bi-weekly rewards?

[jolly urchin]

[green moss]

...

im speechless.
