Holiday Event Ideas & Legendary Savage Clause

Feedback & Ideas Hero Talk
1

Hello everyone,

This is sort of a long and intimidating post, but I think it’d be worth your time and fun to read :slight_smile:

So, I suggested this skin idea in another post but I would like to expand in this thread and get some specific feedback on it.

Savage Clause

This image does not depict the entire representation of the skin’s idea, but was made as a fun illustration :slight_smile:

Skin Rarity: Legendary
Costume: Full-blown Santa outfit/beard
Weapons: Rapid-fire snowball launchers
Voice Animation: “Gimme mah cookies” (any other suggestions? :joy:)

Skill Upgrade

  • Spray and Pray --> Snowball Fight!

    • Rather than bullets, Savage Clause’s snowball launchers fire streams of snowballs at all enemies in front of the Hero with the same conditions as Spray and Pray (40% chance to deal up to ??? Damage per second to each target hit). Additionally, each hit has a 15% chance to disorient the enemy for 8 seconds.

    • Visualization changes: Bullets to snowballs

(Basically, main change would be visual, which I think is best for a limited time skin… 15% for 8 second Disorientation would not be much of a game-changer at all, which I think is great)

Christmas Event Series

Thinking about how a limited time Legendary skin could be unlocked, I had to imagine a fair way these types of skins could be obtained:
Skin Fragments

For the duration of the 12 days of Christmas (or whatever), I was thinking there could be a series of holiday-themed solo events whose milestone rewards were Skin Fragments

Each event would reward Skin fragments in the milestones which could be used to unlock specific limited time holiday skins through the limited time Holiday Skin Store.

Reaching the last milestone on every single event should reward enough skin fragments to unlock every limited time skin the holiday event offers (assuming there are other “Rare” limited time skins in addition to the Legendary Savage Clause.)

Therefore, the only way to unlock Savage Clause would be to get the last milestone in every single event during the special holiday event series. However, other holiday skins could be unlocked if the last milestone could not be reached.

Leftover skin fragments at the end of the event would be converted to regular skin tokens, if there is an odd number of fragments leftover to buy a holiday skin.

Halloween Event Series

Same idea could go for this coming Halloween…? @Huginn
I really think Count Mandrakula would be a good vampire Halloween skin :vampire:
Maybe a Vampiric Health Steal from him bronze Skill…?
Tomahawk --> Blood Dagger …?

Sorry if this was a little much to read.
Cheers, if you read the whole thing (if anyone does) :slight_smile:
Lemme know what you think!

The sun is burning in my neck while I’m drinking my coffee, it’s 25°c right now and I’m longing for water, but I like the idea :joy::+1:

While I like the idea of Holiday events and limited skins as rewards, I think the change you suggested for Savage Clause is a bit redundant to his skill set, since he already disorients if his Defensive Fire is active.

Most of the times you are going to use Spray and Pray after you activate your silver, so you can stagger, so this change would only be applied to the very first Spray and Pray, that can be activated before his silver is ready.

I’d suggest a slow, since its goes more in line with the snowball theme, but his Defensive fire also slows, so it’s the same issue.

@GTSaiko Good point. I did not read up on his Silver Skill when I was thinking of this. Although, after reading it I still think the suggestion could be implemented.
His [Defensive Fire] only lasts two seconds, so this skin would give him a chance to Disorient for the entire eight seconds of [Snowball Fight!] rather than only two, if his [Defensive Fire] was activated. For instance if [Defensive Fire] was on CD and you wanted to use [Snowball Fight!] right away, enemies could still have a chance to be Disoriented.

Another suggestion could be for it to cause [Disabling Shot] (which is Beck’s silver), which slows down the rate of fire and reload speed of the enemy, which also goes in line with the snowball theme (hard to maneuver weapon equipment/mechanics with icy fingers!)

@DopedGoat Haha, thank you! Yes, I will definitely try to keep 'em coming, I’ve got quite the imagination… lol

While the description says it only last for 2 seconds, the buff last way longer. Haven’t timed it, though.

But yeah, a reload/fire speed debuff could be a better solution.

I’d say caine looks more like a dracula because of his Red eyes and that face
