Title: Competition #38
Post by: Aeroblyctos on February 14, 2012, 01:08:26 pm
Competition Idea
In this competition you're challenged to create a mini-event or an event for the following boss fight. The theme is lightning. This boss is in chapter 8 and is a mini-boss. Only Galeoth will fight in this battle.
Click to see the picture of boss.
Hints
If you decide to do a "mini-event", the spell must be pretty quickly and will happen every about 20 to 40 seconds.
Or if you decide to go a "event", then the spell can take longer time and will happen every about 30 to 60 seconds.
The idea can't be passive.
Here's an example:
Competition Rules
The idea have to be yours.
You can make unlimited amount of entries.
I will have all the rights to edit the rules all the time(I will do it correctly and I will be fair for everyone).
Competition Prizes
The winner of this competition will have his or her name to Hall Of Fame and will be credited as "Competition Winners" and "Idea Giver". If you have one more than once you'll be credited automatically as "Great Idea Giver". Also any other ideas that I'll use will be credited as "Idea Giver".
Judging
I'm the only one who will judge the winner of the competition. I will judge all entries. The amount of entries you post will not decrease your chance to win in any way. However, if there are a lot of entries or horrible entries, I'll have the right to kick some of them away in order to make the final judge easier for me.
This is the order how I judge:
Is your idea creative and fresh?
Can I possibly create your idea?
The presentation?
Deadline
The competition begins immediately and conclude at X.
Final Words
Good luck, may the best idea win. If you have questions, ask.

Hello,
Someone (Doom most probably) might hop in and say something positive or move into posting an entry or entries, but I feel like speaking my mind clear first.
Is this even possible? You just said by yourself that "like it's tough enough to judge the current competitions, so would it be to post more", yet here we are: Another competition, with unknown deadline (which is nice, considering that you couldn't go wrong on the moral side), but why? Finish up those that still exist as "non-judged", they're months rotten already.
And finally...
Quote
When doing this event, the boss is vulnurnerable all the time meaning the boss can die.
I understand that some words might be annoying to write, and that it's normal to screw them up because of that, but come on! You can't learn to write it properly if you never bother to correct the mistakes. For instance, it took me some time to naturally write "enthusiastic" without checking it over and over, so why wouldn't you try?
"Vulnurnerable" should be "vulnerable". And PLEASE edit the main post and fix it, instead of noting out "yes yes" and doing nothing.

You know, I haven't participated in any competition since competition #35 (#37 is an exception). And I won't participate in this one either. I'm with Xavorn this time.

I desperately need more ideas for this boss. That is why I created this competition.

Go judge other competitions. Then they (the members) will participate in this soon enough.

Hello,
Being able to see the boss clearly would help a lot when deciding what events it could possibly make.
In other words, would it be possible to add an image of the boss & boss only? Or that image zoomed in a lot.

Ok, well, that boss actually doesn't seem cool. Not fear. Maybe, you must change that boss model's to Fear some and chill with the ice crystal on his handled. Then, he will released a rain of crystal on that area. :D Another will thinging by. That more intrusting :D.

The boss isn't suppose to BE that cool, he's just a regular troll shaman.
And that chapter has too many ice elemental bosses I wanted something different so I chose lightning.

You can understand his post ? Wow that is way too cool.
Well, he's communicating with me any where I go. It's like when I go to a toilet, he's head comes out of the toilet or when I go to shower he's there waiting for me. So as I've communicated with him so much, I've started to learn how to understand and speak with him.

Event: The boss creates a dark serpent ward somewhere in 500 range near himself.The serpent ward is immune to magic and it requires 5 attacks to bring it down.The ward has a cool randomized attack(something like 3-140) and a critical strike (Something like 30% chance , 2x) with an normal speed(1 attack/1.5 seconds)
When the serpent ward is destroyed , the following things can happen: -15% Another serpent ward is created -35% Deals 500 dmg in 300 AOE -25% Heals the boss with 500 hp -Nothing happens
Triggered: Every time the boss is targeted by a spell. I changed ur colors DD

Chill effect:
Bosses summon a ward (Just like on his back) To surrounding on that dome (Area that just like Frezzer) To chilling Galeoth. Well, That has slowing per second. Slowing 5% per second. Over 40 second. If chilling ward can survive over 20 second. That will frezzing or paralized the Galeoth (Can't attack or move) The ward can be destroyed. Has 0 armor and 800 HP.
Summon many troll warrior and actualy their hole, The Troll will like be black hole. Srhup srhup Galeoth to the hole. They can be killed, HP: 1200. Has 8 Hole, and 4 troll. Troll appears are randomly from another hole per every 20 second.
Bosses make that area to become more dangerous, Make boulder from Wall side is droping and bouncing. To have save area, Galeoth must be on center. So, the way to back are blocked by boulder. Boulder has 8000 HP.

Greetings,
Foxy, I'm stunned by the amount of confusion your entry causes to me. It's not just about the grammar (have to read a couple of times to understand what you're saying), but it's all just so weird:
Quote
Doomlord Mana << Bosses name
An obvious name spoof is a spoof: I really wonder why you came up with Doom's name topped with "Mana", it's like i.e. "Mr.Foxy Health"; Plain stupid!
Quote
Srhup srhup Galeoth to the hole.
...I guess that IS a way to describe something... But how uncommon it is.
Overall, I can't understand the point of "Troll in the hole": Do the trolls even attack Galeoth, or just "suck" Galeoth into the hole? And what if Galeoth is sucked into a hole, does he just remain there, unable to attack the boss, or what?
Even though Black occasionally can't explain things either, due to the grammar, this is just too much.

Great, so we finally have some entries here. Remember: lightning theme.

Greetings,
Well... Seeing as this competition has a point (the joke competition IS a joke itself), here be' my first entry.
Event: The boss does a slow motion version of its spell cast animation (~3 seconds or so), after which it bursts out a lightning discharge, stunning and paralyzing every unit in the whole area (the boss itself, too) for 7 seconds.
Each second, the boss regains 4% of its total health, while all other units suffer from a 85% slowdown in attack speed, lasting for 14 seconds (including the time while stunned).
This is interruptable if a damage spell is casted on the boss while he's channeling it (the 3-second slow motion channeling).
Triggered: Every 40 seconds.

We have now three entries. I except to have five entries and I'll judge the competition.
Come on guys, more entries.

Post by: Aeroblyctos on March 03, 2012, 03:40:19 am
Here's my entry:
Teleports to middle and starts to channel. Every 2 second creates a lightning point where Galeoth currently is. These points explode every second dealing 3000/4000/5000/6000 damage. After tenth wave Tazefda quickly spins around (360) with a wave of lightning that does 6000/8000/10000/12,000 damage.

Please forgive me for borrowing your format After Storm.
Lightning Shockwave
Event: The boss creates a small lightning ball on top of him as an indicator. After 1.5 seconds a powerful lightning shockwave will shoot out from the boss and travel towards Galeoth's position 0.5 second ago (which means Galeoth has 0.5 sec to move out of the shockwave's path) at an extremely fast speed. Upon impact Galeoth is purged, damaged and immobilized for 1 sec. A buff will also be applied on Galeoth for 11 seconds.
If Galeoth is hit again by this skill when he is still affected by the buff the damage instance will be doubled. The buff stacks up to five times and each damage instance is increased exponentially.
Triggered: Every 10 seconds.

Unless the main dmg is less then 50 , your ability is imba.

Greetings,
...Yeah whatever.
Half-Moon Ral'Dae
Event: The boss walks into the middle of the arena and vanishes into the thin air. After 3 seconds, the innermost layer is struck by lightning, and the outer layers are afterwards struck on a half-moon shape, one for each of the primary compass points. The delay in which the other layers are struck is 1 second.
After the lightning bolts have stricken, the boss appears into the middle of the arena again, and the battle continues.
Demonstration: In the order of striking (from left to right, struck area is represented by the purple X's):

Hello everyone, judge here!
Dark Serpent Ward by Blackdoom59
+ I like that something happens after a ward is destroyed - Somewhat done already(chapter 4 elite boss) - Not lightning theme
I will put this idea down and probably will be used in chapter 9 boss battle.
1 /5
Troll in the hole by Mr.Foxy
+/- Ridiculous/funny name - Bad presentation - Not lightning theme - Not tactical
This could be nice event if you could somehow stop the trolls from coming and the trolls(or maybe something else?) would be really powerful. That would have gave you at least 2 points.
0 / 5
Hurl Bourdel by Mr.Foxy
- Bad presentation - Not lightning theme
This has some potential but you should have explained better how to actually evade this, why need to go center? What does it help?
1 / 5
Advantageous Discharge by After Storm
+ Fine presentation + An excellent mini-event - It's unfair if player has not chosen any stun abilities for Galeoth, there's no way to evade this in that case
This is an excellent idea I really like. For one vs one battle this is a bit too imba. However, when yo have three characters then the chance to have a stun ability is so high it doesn't matter if it's the only way. I'll give this to another boss fight.
3,5 / 5
Lightning Shockwave by Doomlord
+ Presentations is fine +/- The idea is good that you take more damage if you're hit beofe, but I think it doesn't work well if the waves stuns - I can't make buffs stack like in world of warcraft - The basic idea of boss starting to cast some waves to position of a character is used many times before
OVerall this would work better if player would have three characters in this battle and the troll would do waves to random player's units. However if there's Galeoth only and the wave has stun or slow it could be pretty imba especially with the damage increase.
3 / 5
Half-Moon Ral'Dae by After Storm
- This idea is used at chapter 7 gladiator arena, blood warrior(or whatever the name was) - It's a little hard for player first to understand how to evade anything if the boss just vanishes and lightnings are appearing
Nevertheless about the bad sides, this is a good idea. It is just used before.
