More Mech Mastery parts + balance changes

[ember burrow]

Mech Mastery is the most fun I've had using an ability, how it is decently skill + aim-based while still having good damage and unique gimmicks. However, I just want more to mess around with. This will include rebalancing existing items too. Here's some ideas:

Seats:
Changed: Eject Seat:

• Holding jump for 1 second ejects you from your mech.
• You can sit in your mech again to get your mech back.
• Player and mech have separate healthbars.
• Mech + Player have less health.

Added: Forcefield Generator:

• Gain a 25 health forcefield that slowly heals when you deal damage.
• Much less max health.

Hulls:
Changed: Harmonics Generator:

• Take more damage from all sources as a downside.

Added: Light Core:

• Move a bit faster and take more knockback.
• Less max health.

Added: Heavy Shell:

• More max health and take less knockback.
• Deal a bit less damage.

Arms:
Changed: Groundbreaker:

• Deals more damage.
• Ragdolls for a bit.

Changed: Drill:

• Heavily reduced turning control during windup.
• Hitbox is smaller.

Changed: Plasma Cannon:

• Deals much more damage.

Added: Mine Layer:

• Lays out damaging mines in an area in front of you.
• These detonate when an enemy is within range.
• Slows enemies for a bit.
• There is a short delay before a mine is able to explode.
• Cannot trigger on you, but can damage you.

Added: Net Arm:

• Acts like Grapple's pull.
• Uses a projectile similar to Bounty Hunter Mastery.
• Takes longer to pull people and slows you during the ability.
• Has no knockback past the mech's body and deals no damage.

Added: Reinforced Arm:

• Deals more damage and knockback.
• No ability.

Legs:
Changed: Treads:

• Allows the user to walk up walls, although somewhat slowly.
• Makes the user faster than as of now.

Changed: Frogger:

• Jumps higher, lower cooldown.

Added: Kicker Leg:

• Allows the user to kick, knocking the user back if it hits an enemy, along with stunning said enemy and dealing damage.

Added: Booster Leg:

• Propels you upwards for a longer duration, like old Mech.

we need more parts so I like this

it’s nice that it’s an ability that can always have more added

[ember burrow]

hi cinimodes

also thanks for the feedback, i also find it really neat how the devs can just add on to this ability basically forever.

(fyi i respond to every bit of feedback, i do not have cc favoritism)

[timid compass]

I agree, although the horizontal boost should just be replaced with the old one mech has way too much mobility now

[ember burrow]

that's why i made it optional because i honestly LOVE the horizontal dash

but yeah i get your point

the horizontal dash is worse for escaping a combo

[timid compass]

Yeah, also it is kinda anoyying to go against as a non mech

[ember burrow]

you can pretty easily punch them out of the dash unless the mech is good at timing and controlling the dash punch, so id say its very balanced.

[halcyon cobalt]

Yes

Just yes

This is perfect

[timid compass]

Have you tried using crusher against one?

But yeah fair point

[ember burrow]

Ty, I'm legit just spitballing ideas for unique abilities tbh.

[halcyon cobalt]

I feel like new Q is a bit better

I mean

Old only gave you vertical mobility

Almost nothing from horizontal

However

Old Q should be re added for Mech mastery

[timid compass]

Yeah while mech mastery is cool it is just lacking for some of the limbs, I feel like there should be a missile arm tbh

[timid compass]

As a leg

[hollow crescent]

I like

[halcyon cobalt]

Obviously

It will give Mech such a great mobility

Imagine both legs having different versions of Q

[ember burrow]

I feel like the laser arm is enough, it rewards good tracking and timing with good ranged damage.

[ember burrow]

sounds awesome, although i will probably still use double dash

[halcyon cobalt]

Yea it gives a better horizontal mobility

But I would personally use both

Cuz it would be more fun for me

But I think that to make it fair

Old Q should have a long cd

Like 25 or 30

[ember burrow]

I removed the arm that just buffed your punch stats because it was boring, i might make a pinned message or smth with extra ideas tho

[analog pollen]

wait i think you should nerf the cooldowns imo

because rn you can spam 4 dashes, have zero ragdoll and be immune to projectiles

mech mas is a top 1

[halcyon cobalt]

One of the best, but not the best

Engineer mastery still solo

With prep time ofc

[analog pollen]

engineer mastery is not even close

[ember burrow]

dashes are somewhat counterable, but i will give drill less turning during windup

[halcyon cobalt]

Why

[halcyon cobalt]

Yea that's actually good

Rn Drill is kinda op

Is a free hit in close range

[ember burrow]

yeah

i want to make Drill more "punish a mistake at decent range" rather than "better groundbreaker"

[timid compass]

See the horizontal boost is still very annoying to play against when all someone has to do is get close spam groundless twice fly away rinse and repeat. Mech has way too much mobility for non mechs

[ember burrow]

Mech is also a giant hitbox to wail on for most abilities, it's why I consider it a glass cannon.

[timid compass]

True, but it also makes streaks that start out low almost unusable, as of now the most effective counter is archerer defender mastery with strengt pots. But the projectile sheild is very op now so yeah.

[ember burrow]

It'll get better in a few days once less people are using Mech, it'll def seem more fair when mechs aren't everywhere.

[timid compass]

Yeah, still the high jumps and just overall amazing mobility is way to powerful combine that with spammed close ranged abilities...

[ember burrow]

Friendly reminder that Rabbit is allowed to to 40 damage in an unreactable ability... powercreep is kinda insane either way, so i don't think Mech is a huge issue right now.

[ember burrow]

Waiter, waiter, more feedback please!

[timid compass]

Make a machine gun torso

[ember burrow]

No, I think the devs wanted torsos to be entirely passive so I went along with that.

[timid compass]

Okae

[timid compass]

Experimental torso

Greatly reduced hp but damage and kills regen hp

BLOOD IS FUEL

[ember burrow]

That's basically the forcefield generator I made but ok cool reference

[ember burrow]

Ok i literally got one bit of extra feedback from the last time I revived this post, why is like nobody responding to this.

[ember burrow]

like seriously its been 3 people
