Hi guys, I'm working on the bat pony class for the new survival, and I want to know from the players that will want to pick Bat Pony if they want to for their class what do you want it to mostly be based on, and what skills you want on it? I currently have a list but I want to ask what you guys would like.

 

Bat Pony skill list I have atm

We're aiming for something around 16-20 skills per race (not counting abilities and properties that are immediately unlocked when picking a race), with most of them being passive or something that you'd use once in a while. Nonetheless, could all abilities here be fully described, such as what they do and how they would function? The more details the better ^^

Of course Hepo I'll get on that now. If anything else needs to be updated let me know on the skype chat.

Sorry for the long post, but as a former Bat Pony who got extremely deep into their own class mechanics I feel strongly about this.

One of the biggest motivations we had when we decided to try to rework the classes was to focus on lore, making the classes feel like they actually are the races they represent. A result of this is that there are a lot, lot more passive abilities and utilities that may benefit not only an individual player, but also those they are playing together with. Combat-oriented skills have been toned down as a result of that, counting for roughly one third or so of the total number of skillpoints that can be allocated. This said, there are a few things that can be discussed on the skills and abilities:

 

Discussion on skills and abilities

Spoiler

 

I’d like to bring forth a skillset that is still incomplete, but may be useful for Bat ponies. This skillset is based on suggestions from this thread and various comments gathered over time. First off, some motivation and background: I’ve been prowling all over the internet in search of various ideas that could complement bat ponies, and flesh them out more. I’ve attempted to find a role for them in the society, other than your everyday mercenary or player killer.

Problem I have in this regard is that there’s not a lot of material to work with – which begs the question, what is it that Bat ponies actually do, other than possibly being guards? What is their role in society? This is a very important question that we should attempt to properly answer. My search for answers hasn’t proven to be fruitful as of now, which is why this proposal isn’t complete.

 

Proposed skills

Apologies for this wall of text, but this is something that needs to be discussed before I start working on the actual implementation of anything. This is my draft of the Bat pony race thus far, based upon feedback and suggestions that has been gathered over time, while trying to fit the canon (and common fanon) lore to the class. Anything that you’d like to see added to this, modified, or removed?

I like your detailed response, it means more than just the inane "Oh thats cool" one shot posts in my opinion.

This is just my take on Bat Ponies, take it or leave it.

Without detailed replies, how else would a discussion be possible? And without discussions, how could we ever make a quality product that works for everybody? ^^
