*Before anything happens, I just want to remind everyone that this is just a discussion and NOT a suggestion*

Well, I was just playing spiral knights and then I was thinking what if there were new damage types or statuses. So I just started thinking randomly but couldn't find many that fitted into the spiral knights theme. So I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for new damage types or statuses that FITS into the SK theme.

Not really sure what the theme is, but damage types like fire/water/ice doesn't really fit, not sure how to explain though.

My idea would be Chaos for damage type, but status is a bit hard.

Hakuna matata.

Chaos as dmg type is good, the status would be chaos ofc, so your controls would be inverted in every way. Which has been suggested a lot of times already, it would probably be a really cool status.

Also, move this to suggestions.

We have had quite a few new

We have had quite a few new statuses recently.
Buffs - Attack damage up, Attack speed up, Defense up, Movement speed up.
Debuffs - Enchant, Hex, Bind, Slow.

Bind (or whatever you call it) is more or less a copy of freeze, but Slow is different enough from stun to make it interesting. The buffs are sort of the opposite of poison and stun, if you think about it.

If you were to continue to modify existing statuses in this way, here's some more.
Buffs :
Heal - gradual health regen (opposite of fire?)
Un-interruptibility - can not be interrupted (opposite of shock?). Can't think of a better name right now.

Debuffs:
Attack speed down - like stun but with out movement speed down. An alternative to slow
Attack damage down - like poison but without defense/heal debuffs
Defense down - like poison without attack/heal debuff
Disarm - can't attack (think curse, but without self damage)

edit: Forgot Invisibility and Deathmark.

Diablo 3 status effects could replace sk statuses.

Snared: Your character is slowed down. The magnitude of the slow effect varies depending on what's doing the snaring.
Rooted: Unable to move from your current position.
Attack Slowed: You swing your weapons more slowly.
Chilled: Snared + Attack Slowed
Frozen: Mostly the same as stunned, but certain skills, like the Wizard's Frost Nova's Shatter Rune, cause frozen enemies to behave differently. Frozen enemies leave no corpse.
Immune: Immune to whatever status effect you're trying to apply. This can be knockback, stun, snared, or any other status effect, depending on the individual in question. Bottom line - one or more of your status effects isn't "sticking", so to speak. Unlike Diablo II, no monster in Diablo III is supposed to be immune to a damage type (though they might have high resistances).
Knockback: Physically moves the target away from the origin of the attack.
Stunned: Rooted, and unable to attack.
Charmed: Fight other monsters instead of the player
Feared: Running in fear, unable to take action or control direction of movement.

Found from suggestion forum.

Possess
> Same like generic charm, but you are able to control yourself. But your attack will hurt your ally. Way too OP and discourage bomber.

Blind
> Distort screen. No effect on AI, of course.

Confusion
> Controls will be inverted. Can easily overcome with practice.

Drain
> Instead of draining health, you can also drain resistance/damage from enemies. OP.

Rage
> Attack increase, defense decrease.

Syndrome
> Not harmful. But when mix with other status, the status can be deadly. Like 30 seconds poison.

Possess-Uuh....Okay....OP

Blind-That is actually legit, but I guess if you put blindness on monsters you can actually make their player-detection-range shorter?

Confusion- Actually, that is pretty hard to overcome. Why? Try LD.

Drain- OP No other 2 words for it. OP

Rage- Like all other games. :)

Syndrome- Actually a legit status. Imagine shock and fire with strong syndrome. O__O

A Lag type

Lag: Your character is teleporting and walking through walls when hit by a monster.

Tue, 12/31/2013 - 09:26

Skayeth

And....

Lag: Nah, when you get hit, you walk through the wall, and when the status ends, you find yourself dead. ;)

Blaccklotus

No death.

Skayeth

Yes

Lag causes death.

Undress
Your knight is covered in a large mass of mosaic and you can't see enemies that are close to you very well.
Busting
Your knight automatically runs to a random corner or wall in the room, and then stands completely still there for a short moment
