Beer Potions

[GurkenKinG]

[green]I thought about using Beer (Or for greek something like wine or ambrosia) as another kind of potions, so that beer will do more healing then a potion on the same level, but it will get you a bit drunk, so that your attack speed and your movement speed gets slowed for like 1 minute. How much the slow will be, that would have to get balanced by FatherTime and the other project members. It's not meant to get used in 2.0, but maybe in later maps like Tatarus and/or norse

Edit: And maybe also doing the same with Mana Pots, for Mana maybe Ambrosia. So that Ambrosia will heal your mana more then normal mana pots, but for this there will be an effect like rangers silence effect so that you can't use your spells for 1 minute[/green]

Interesting idea but because I'm pressed for time now I'll just add one comment now.

Wouldn't the silence defeat the purpose of the ambrose? The smarter thing would be use the mana potion to use your spell immediately. (natural mana regen + mana potion > 1 minute silenced mana potion) natural mana regen acting like an interest rate.

Edit: I still think its a good new idea though as alcohol has been present and used over many different cultures

Beer potions should make you miss on attacks, not have reduced movement/attack speed in my oppinion. I like powerisevil's idea with and instant silence, as in you can't cast anything for 1-3 secs after using the ambrosia potion.

This sounds like fun but why does it need to heal? Beer would be fun enough if it just slowed and gave a big miss chance. I think another war3 map had an effect like that where the screen would go blurrier and move around depending on how drunk you were.

I'm so sure that'd be hell to code, and there's a limit to map size~ Nice idea though

[green]first, I think you mean Uther's Party. Second, if beer would only have a bad effect to you, why would people buy it and use it? Ok in RL it tastes good, but in an RPG it doesn't make sences [/green]

[DrewDude]

It does make sense though. When you're drunk people can't walk straight lines very well so why would they be able to have an innate ability that magically lets them hit their targets always?

[ihavenonameha]

On that note, maybe add an evasion bonus for the player too XD (thinking of drunken kung fu here) Or make it give bonus stat for brief period but penalises on another stat? For example STR and INT ~ afterall Ive never seen someone SMARTER in an intoxicated state...

[DrewDude]

Drunken Kung Fu? Ok they can have their little weak evasion but seeing as they would be drunk it'd say one hit and they're down so how about reduce hp 99.9% sounds fair, either that or the screen blacks out and they find themselves laying beside an orge when they awake .

[ihavenonameha]

Lol -1000 armor XD?

[BlazingEdge]

if we speak about Norse, we should mention... MUSHROOMS!!!

+50% dmg but no armor - seems fair enough. Plus, when mushrooms effect fades (effect fades, not viking ;D) viking has his hp reduced to 1%

and about beer: how about random effects? just like Wlock's banshee had in 1.2x vers? either evasion, or miss chance, armor bonus or debuff - drunk people are unpredictable after all

[h4x0rz88]

And beer quality also, if the quality is bad you get an 100dmg/sec aura cause of the smell
Also after the effects you get a nasty hangover -0.5% max HP/s for 20 seconds, spells do 7% more damage to you for every person near you (because people talk )

Good beer doesn't have anything of this but the original duration is longer, after duration you get 14% more damage taken from physical attacks, -50 ms (muscles relax...)

[white]some uber + stat potions that damage you while active?[/white]

[emurica]

i think it would be cool if u were to drink beer, then where ever you click to go your character goes somewhere else. id do it just for fun. lol maybe get negative on all stats. haha just something pointless but fun.

[makluvnotwrcrft]

Why not just get drunk in real life than play the game? O.o

[DrewDude]

That would add better realism to it i suppose...

[DeathKnight305]

How about instead of using the beer on yourself you can use it on the enemy. Get them drunk for a few seconds and deal some damage. That sounds like a better use of beer. Break a bottle of beer over a bosses head.

[Idontneedaname]

But that's nothing new. Just look hydra in 1.3x

[Jin]

beer? Reminds me of Panda now hehe. Maybe heals and also add a lil bit percentage of critical but gives extra chance to miss on attacks and attacks a lil slower.

[green]Who was the guy who said he will quit the game forever? ;D doesn't matter
