The time is here, to vote on your favourite spell and colour combo!
Please be aware that these are subject to our balancing at the end of the day. Without further ado, vote away!
Shimmra - Nether Shock - 10 Red/Purple (Mana-burn an enemy and stun them. If they use blue mana, deal 8 additional damage and gain 8 mana back.)
Rickygervais - Superconductor - 11 Blue/Yellow (name & mana color added by Infinity) - (Destroy gems in x shape, submerge and deal 15 true damage to the first troop boosted by blue gem destroyed.)
Zuboki - 12 Blue/Yellow - Taser Dive (Stun and deal [magic/2+5] damage to a chosen enemy, double if the enemy is not submerged. Afterwards, submerge the enemy and myself.)
VegaDark541 - 12 Purple/Blue - Sonic Shockwave (Stun all enemies. Submerge all allies. Gain an extra turn.)
Jainus - Octo-Shock - 12 Green/Yellow (Choose a colour. Destroy 8 gems of the chosen colour. Deal [magic+something] true damage to each enemy of that colour.)
Necrotius - Surprise Tentacles (added by infinity) - 14 Purple/Yellow - (Deal (1/2 magic+ x) true damage to the first two enemies and stun them. Silence and drain the mana of the last troop.)
Venar - Sink - 12 Blue/Red (Entangle, Stun, and Disease an enemy, and steal half itās mana. Explode the bottom row.)
Avistoo - S.T.A.L.K. - 15 Yellow/Red Mana (Infinity has added Red) (Barrier, Enrage, and Submerge myself, then remove all gems of a chosen enemyās mana color and Hunterās Mark them.)
Aw bummer, I guess Iām the odd man out thinking these arenāt particularly compelling. Some are just really similar to things we already have, or are otherwise not things I would foresee people/myself using.
What I donāt understand is why everyone is focusing on Shocktopus whereas the name will be chosen next weekā¦
The theme chosen is here. According to the description, there is no electric power involved, and the theme could be resumed to: an anti-Kraken troop. None of the 8 options are good counters to Kraken (heās immuned to Stunā¦)ā¦
If only organisers remind the different resultsā¦
My best guess is because Iām living in Japan so on, devs consider that Iām not eligibleā¦ Not sure what resident means as Iām also a french residentā¦
But if itās case, better than saying nothing, devs could say which participants are eliminate because of these rules: I would have given my suggestions to a guildmate, so he could have participateā¦
I assume you mean @turintuorās suggestion for an inverted Kraken, rather than his joke / troll suggestions further down. Devs pick the ideas that they like - the ālikesā received in the thread might correlate with that, but arenāt a guarantee factor. In this case I guess the devs felt it was too similar to existing troops, and possibly doing too much for an epic troopās spell.
You never know what troops they already have in the pipeline. We also donāt know, exactly, what they consider acceptable for the Epic power level.
The one I liked most of yours was probably what they consider a legendary power level, so they probably excluded that one right off. I also really like @Rickygervais, but I wanted to see a row and column destruction too, for all 8 arms hitting the board. I like @Jainus troop as well, but dislike the green as the color seems out of place for Mech design, while giving Mechs a much needed boost, I think.
Of course I also believe the first community designed troop should be above average power level for the rarity.
I vote for @Venar I can see myself using this troop.
ā¦you know that Venar troop can actually fill itself full when it drains high-mana troop like the mythics. Would have been such a fantastic troop to use in the Guild Wars too, no doubt.
Ack, err, wow, euh, sorry, but I canāt win a prize because of location. I donāt mind participating for fun, so err, either keep my suggestion there and I officially decline any prize, or remove it, or someone else suggest my exact idea?
(Sorry, should have said in my post that I canāt really win)
Criminal Code
In its simplest form, gambling involves a prize, a chance and a consideration (money or other economic value) exchanged. Business promotions that are a combination of these three elements constitute a form of gambling. Most businesses circumvent the gambling characterization by removing or changing one of these three elements. For example, the business charges nothing (no consideration) for its customers to win a prize. Perhaps skill (as in answering a question) replaces random chance. These contests, prizes and games are technically not gambles. They are legal and unregulated.
Octo-Shock is bloody creative. Color-based targeting has potential, and this is a good way to implement it. Very glad to see it ahead in the poll for now.
Still not clear on how weāve got a merfolk - maybe itāll be an octopus-person with a cyborg electro-pulse generator designed by Tesla.
Some are just really similar to things we already have, or are otherwise not things I would foresee people/myself using.
