Animalistic ATs


Ad Astra

 

Posted

I was thinking a couple days ago and thought how cool it would be to have a Mastermind that could control animals, whether it is an Africe Safari, an Amazonian Jungle or even just a wolf pack or bears, just something, where you control animals, just wanting other peoples input, or if this is just plain silly/stupid

Which is like a suggestion, except worded in such a way that you can put it in Player Questions... Brilliant!

The suggestion forum is down further.

To be a little bit more helpful, though:

This idea has come up a decent amount. However, for each animal type the Devs add to the game, they would need to create a new skeleton, and all of the animations that would be used on that skeleton would need to be done for each different skeleton.

If you have the following MM, for instance:

Tier 1 pets: Badgers
Tier 2 pets: Wolves
Tier 3 Pet: Bear

Then the Devs would need to create 3 new skeletons, one for each type of pet, then create animations for each of them, even if they had the exact same powers. As such, this is a LOT more work than creating human-like pets for MMs.

yeah, my brother is at an art school getting his degree in animation, so i know a little about that, thats why i added the 'silly/stupid' part at the end, may just be a cool thing to have, but sadly probably wont happen

The Tier Nine should be the badger. Tier one could be marmots. Or prairie dogs.

Tier 2 would have to be Meerkats, then.

Fixed because changing the color at all often makes it hard to read, especially if you are assuming someone is reading the forums with the same colors you are (we have a blue scheme and a dark red scheme, don't use weird colors)

The Tier One has to be the Badgers, just so you can say "Badgers? We don't need no stinking Badgers!"

Therefore, the solution is:
Tier 1 pets: little bears
Tier 2 pets: large bears
Tier 3 pet: huge bear


Even better (in terms of player demand), what if they made a pet set using cats? I think we would see massive swarms of catgirl MM's. It would probably become the most widely-played MM set. If they even HINTED that such a set might exist some day, I would immediately camp the name Cat Herder.

As is the slate gray.

Pro tip: Use Yellow Orange, and Pale Green are pretty high contrast on both the blue of hero-skin and the red of villain-skin.

Consider your audience before using color for emphasis and effect.

Red CAN work, somewhat, but only in BOLD LETTERS. On the villain skin, it doesn't show up that well without the bolding.

Ok, so I looked over that link for literally 2 secs, until I got to "Squirrel-like abilities" as a power... Besides agile, what other abilities do they have? Like, spiders and ants are super strong and so are heroes with those abilities. But squirrel-like?

Have you ever seen an angry squirrel chase a college frat-guy on a bike? Because I have. And trust me, when doing so, they do display other abilities than just being agile.

No, but I would probably find great pleasure in such a thing.

Where can I get a ticket?


Dec out.

Squirrels can rob vending machines. There's a video out there of one doing that.

Also: Ask Dr. Doom about Squirrel Girl.

Catwomen with blue hair as teir 9.
Catwomen with pink hair as tier [the middle one]
Short wolf-headed huge in Martial Arts Pack clothes for tier 1.

Or those "left in the rain for a few years" haggard street walking NPCs.

Or really, really short CoT mages. Like garden gnomes. Hell, I'd love that.

Come off it. How would a squirrel learn to ride a bike in the first place?
