Ozyola's Oddments Discussion Thread

I suggest you enforce the one monthly rule and have more legit items gain tie breaks(so if there is 1 slot left in the community poll and 2 submissions have the same amount of likes then you choose based on which is more legit).

mace of the redeemed hermit
3 mighty bludgeon, 2 purge,1 loner

1 minor token epic divine weapon.

 

Ozyola's name remindes me of the guy that named his daughter Lanesra after his favorite team

Hmmm....I love what I submitted, but, thinking along cheese levels, I present the Rad Gun:
Divine Weapon
Lv 16
2x Radioactive Spray
2x Radiation Bolt
2x Radiation Bomb

This could probably go in Aloyzo as well, considering the nice 2/2/2 look, but I think Ozyola is a bit more lax than his half brother...

 

That's... almost balanced, actually. I mean, it's too powerful to be included, but it only actually increases the max Rad Bomb count by 1.

For a properly cheesy item, I offer this:
Nuke It From Orbit
level 7 Epic divine weapon
3x Radiation Bomb
3x Loner

 

Oh, I just came up with another idea that's even more overpowered than my previous submission....but people liked my item, so it might have a .4875% shot in a community choice poll. Oh, the horror of decisions.

EDIT: never mind, changed it. I'm going all-out for this photoshop contest.

 

Please delete the old post and post the new submission instead of editing it. Because it doesn't bump it or remove all the likes from the prior submission.

 

No.

 

Thank you! That really means a lot to me.

Spoiler: OO #1 winners

@billiska's Vibrant Drain (lvl 17 Legendary Divine Weapon, )




@Maniafig's Thinking Out Loud (lvl 6 Common Hunan Skill, tokenless)

I will add a short written review for each submitted item, so be sure to read those too. OO #2 will open tomorrow, Sunday 21st February.

 

Part of the reason I wasn't using able bludgeon was to make it a common so that every newbie could just buy it for the campaign.

 

Ah, good point! For OO #1, I didn't really consider item rarities, but creating a common item that every starting player has easy access is definitely a great plus.

I think you would've gained much more likes and eventually community votes, if you'd have presented your submission more thoroughly and make it more attractive with card images and rarity info.

 

Whoo, now if only Thinking Out Loud actually were a Human Skill!

The video was interesting to watch and the feedback was interesting to read, I wasn't actually aware of the Wizard Enchanted Harness valuation and the presentation with the negative AA background and amazing text-to-speech really sells this as an anti-AA.

Looking forward to what the next theme will be!

 

Thanks! Hopefully robotic voice wasn't too annoying. I orignally had planned and even scripted a dialogue between me and Cardomom 500, but had to ditch that plan because my cheap microphone picked up too much background noises and hissing.

In the end, maybe that was a good thing, since my heavy accent sounds quite awkward too.

Anyways, I'm open for collaboration for OO #2 video, if someone with fluent English and a good microphone wants to help me. In the meantime, I try to give Cardomom an interesting personality, now it was just half-robot / half-me speaking, because I quickly mashed our spoken parts together.

 

i like like how the shopped item icon for vibrant drain looks insanely badass, while being obviously "too big" for any item slot. (Cardhunter aint ready yet)
EDIT: I see its 60x60, so it just appears to shake the establishement.

 

Item rarity was part of the reason for my final submission too. (One idea that I didn't post was level 18 legendary boots with Rocket Charge, Flanking Move, Flanking Move.)

BTW, your comment about divine weapons with six attacks should say "six damaging non-hybrid attacks" because of True Strike Spear and Dark Drewg's Mace.

PS. Youtube thought your video should be followed by "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story", which I find appropriate.

 

I have to point out that your rules were not enforced properly as you DQed some submissions that broke them(mine) and allowed some submissions that broke them (Staff of Inevitable Fireballs)

# Clarification of This Month's Restrictions "Creating Overpowered item"
Okay, I think we need to get this theme under the way. This month's challenge is a hard one, and a complicated one for various reasons. Read carefully.

• The challenge this month is to design an overpowered item BELOW LEVEL 22.
• Use only cards that are already printed in that item slot. This means:
  • No (undervalued) monster-only cards
  • No warrior weapons with ranged or draining attacks
  • No heavy armors in boots
  • No long-range high-damage attacks on Arcane Items. Ember Burst is ok, since it's already printed in Kolt 45, but I think spamming Ember Burst in Arcane Items is quite boring... I might be wrong, though.
  • Try to follow other vague item design rules listed in Item Creation Design Discussion.
  • More info about my interpretation of OO#1 restrictions.
  • You (should) know the drill, etc.
