Favor Mod Tweaking and another question

from Demigod Forums

Hey guys,

I trust most of you have tried out the favor mod (its a mod that adds >20 new favor items to the game).  If not, give it a spin and/or read up here:  http://forums.demigodthegame.com/372358.

I have a few questions that I'd like some feedback on. 

  1. What needs nerfed in favor mod?  
  2. If we could get 1 of these new favor items included in demigod directly, which item could we use that wouldn't create an imbalance and still be a viable option over the existing items?

With regards to question 1, the 2 things that stick out to me are thumper (crazy op) and the helm of fortune.  I'm thinking of perhaps dropping thumper completely from the mod or nerfing it.  Suggestions are appreciated.

I was thinking about the XP minotaurs I was using poorly as TB during Alumni Night.  Had I used Sedna who could have kept them alive better they might have been somewhat overpowered.  Also I could have kept the second one near the center flag and just walked him up when my ally was capping or when the enemy was finished capping to give +10%/-20% on each XP flag cap. On the HP side, me and my partner should be killing it on XP with Sedna's healing wind to keep the minotaur alive while the enemy falls behind on levels.  

 

IF you could get a favor item from the mod into the game, it would be a great way to breathe a little life into the game if it did one of two things:  Could be used by a non-UB demigod to counter a UB or could be used by DA to be a little more competitive. Since a big Nerf Log could fall on UB's head and he would still be too good, I'd suggest the latter.

I vote Deja-vu Cloak:

+300 Mana

+6 Mana per second

Use: -25% Mana cost to all abilities and -30% cooldown for 6 seconds.  Think you can do this once every 35 seconds?

 

It would help DA with his horrible cost and cooldown on certain abilities, and hopefully wouldn't be too much better than BotS or EoM for other assassins.  For generals?  Might have some imbalances like a level 10 Oak rapid firing off Surge and Pent so probably want to just have it for only assassins.

Thumper and the money hat are the only 2 that are glaringly OP in the favor mod

I'm gonna be a downer again (it's what I do best) and say that the game needs fewer favor items rather than more of them, or at least needs most of the existing ones improved.  How many of the stock DG items do good players actually use?  4 or 5 out of 30.

If anything, make a small mod that tweaks existing weak favor items to be more specialized and desirable, without making them too good.  If an item does more for any given demigod than BotF does for UB, it's probably overpowered.

nah - you can be a downer.  If I had my choice of things, we'd take a few GOOD items from favor mod and remove a few crappy items from the game.  So, the end result would be increasing the good, viable favor items.
