Nidbane nerf

[Potjeh]

Nah, idea here is that the people who sent the nidbane try to track down the criminal before he makes it back to his hearth vault. Of course people would spam the shit out of this so it wouldn't actually work as intended, but it's an interesting concept.

Scents (get tracked and killed)

LMFAO. If this actually happened to you you need to learn to alt & hearth vault.

IMO the way to go here is to just make nidbanes less spammable. I'd go with making it so only one nidbane can be sent per scent. So murderers can't abuse it by sending a shit q one against themselves, only the victim (descendant in case of murder) should be able to send this single nidbane (somebody else can still craft the fetter, though).

this doesn't solve the problem at all lmao. Only the victim can send the nidbane? Why?

Only one nidbane per scent = they can't kill.

The problem is that nidbanes are either OP or useless and their mechanics need to be completely changed before they're actually proper again.

Well the idea is that you have to think about how many scents you're leaving. If you're careful they can't nidbane kill you, but if you go on a rampage you're a dead man.

1. Make that if someone steal from You and leave ton shitload of scents, You can send like... 1 nidbane for every 10thief scents?
2. Only 1 nidbanee for every murder/assualt scent?
3. Reduce the highly numbers of nidorans but make them a bit stronger...? (or atleast only one from murder and a little bit thief one after reducing numbers )


While I like the idea of "stealing % stats" from someone, it is really bad, unless capped at some point, because I can see already few players using that to gain huge advantage in PvP against other players or be able to hunt bigger animals.


Reducing numbers of nids but increasing their power a little.

make nidbanes destroy HF of outlaw and teleport him to altar, kappa

You mean like nidoking?

2. Only 1 nidbanee for every murder/assualt scent?

Its already like this

Oh... That's good to know cuz sometimes people make impression like there's a shit ton load of them and it is impossible to handle it but... well if someone is a serial murderer in short time then, it shouldn't be easy to defend himself from nidos...?

Nidbanes are extremely broken making leaving scents a suicide mission. Im sure everyone who has had to fight them agrees with me, i think it should be one nidbane sent at a time max and remove armor pen

Nidbanes are too weak vs anyone with a friend or group can easily take out a nidbane, without the ability to send multiples it makes nidbanes no risk to any group

this is not true at all, if you attack a nidbane wiht friends they will all aggro you

[bladeking230]

Don't nerf them. That's the whole point of doing a crime. You get rekt by a demon.. if you trespass, Death. If you steal, death. You know it's good as a way to stop people doing crimes u less they have high enough levels to fend the demon off. So no to nerf.

Bad ideas here:
- 'stealing' stats since this would just lead to mass-sacrificing alts to get the gains
- 'only one' and the offender would simply pick his own scent after the bad deed and use a low-developed alt to send a low quality, easily defeatable, one
- 'only the victim' is bad as this would give even more incentive to the strategy of scorched earth (destroy all HFs on a raid so they can't

IMHO stuff to think about would be:
- if they shouldn't be attackable by anyone else but their victim (as they're fricking ghosts)
- if, in case others should still be able to attack them, they should buff up according to the character(s) they're in combat with, so simply coming with a better character (or a group of them) wouldn't be an easy solution to them anymore
- removing quality aspects of dolmen and fetter as these reduce the effectiveness for lower developed (or just inherited hermit) characters
- mechanics that allow to avenge crimes without comitting some yourself when having scent(s) of the one you act against
