Encounters with Twilight - Discussion Thread

[WindHunter 442]

Responsible members of the Skylords Reborn team recently met to discuss possible changes to campaign maps. What is outlined here are the proposed changes to the map Encounters with Twilight. These changes are not final and are only proposed. As a warning, other map projects such as more RPvE presets and Defensive RPvE have a much higher priority for our team. As such, these, or any campaign map changes, may not happen for a very long time. 

Some changes here are firmer than others, all italicized proposals have accompanying explanations for why we are considering them, but they are the most tentative of all the proposals.

Proposed Changes:

1.   Reduce initial cooldown of Amii Screaming Stone to 60 seconds on expert and 120 seconds on advanced. This will allow well-prepared players to activate the incoming Twilight attack sooner.

Is there any reason why it still has to be that long? My thinking is if you dont know what you are doing and you hit it, worst case you lose the mission.

Let it be 10 or maybe 20 seconds and we as players hit it whenever we want? You can make a _longer_ cooldown on Standard so new players get some time to think about that decision.

It actually has to be even longer than 60 seconds, otherwise outcrys will overlap and Rogan will be sitting in front of the wall 🙂

Cause it was not announced in the Patch Stream:

Changelog Patch #400031:

• Adjusted the map to have different  Amii Screaming Stones per difficulty.

Amii Screaming Stone:

• Active ability Sound the Call:
  • Changed the initial cooldown from 180 seconds on all difficulties to 180 seconds on Standard, 120 seconds on Advanced and 90 seconds on Expert difficulty.
  • Extended cast time from 1 second to 5 seconds to make the Screaming Stone animation audible and visible.
  • This will delay the triggered attack wave by the same duration.
