Sample Dreamweaver items

Here are a couple of sample Dreamweaver items and the impression gleaned from making them.

Curse of the Ebon Hand, A Ritual done by the unholy Order of the Ebon Hand to bring about the destruction of it's most hated adversaries. Several elder members of the Ebon Hand form a ritual circle and channel the hatred, pain, and torment of all the souls of their victims. Using a material link, such as hair, blood, or a valued possession, trick the souls into believing the victim of the curse is the origin of their pain and suffering. The combined negative energy of hundreds of souls seek out the victim, and rob them of every bit of energy they have, leaving them a lifeless husk shortly after.

[Level 71 equipment]

Attack: 37

Defense: 37

Critical: 5%

Double Strike: 1%

You can get up to 30 att or defense pretty cheaply, for a little over 1 billion, but after that it goes up quick.. I think I have the formula figured out, or at least close. I will post more on this soon.

Your First item is free, each one thereafter costs 3 blood orbs each. I don't think your going to see people walking around with 501 of these items anytime soon.

All of the special powers (Critical Strike, Double strike and Vampiric Strike) all cost blood orbs. CS costs 1 per level, DS costs 2 per level, and VS costs 10 per level.

Please let me know if you have any questions related to this feature.

Dreamweaver

The Dreamweaver Feature is out. BEWARE. In an effort to try to map out all the costs, I inadvertently spent billions of blood and many blood orbs. If you are creating your own ability, be aware that it is taking money/orbs from you AS YOU MAKE IT. I feel that tt should wait until you have the item created before charging you for it, but it doesn't.

Keep this in mind while creating your items.

The Dreamweaver is coming.

Reign of Vampires The Dreamweaver is coming. The strong will soon be able to use their vast amounts of blood to develop abilities with incredible power. The worthy will be able to learn these skills from their creators.

- New Post from Devs! As soon as this is out I will begin to play with this and work on a writeup.

The Glass Ceiling has been broken!

Rejoice, brethren. The cap on our blood accumulation has been removed!

DEV UPDATE!

Got a dev update for you all!

Reign of Vampires Calling all artists! Have your weapon art featured on Reign of Vampires! We're experimenting with a brand new system called "The Forge" where users can upload art for new weapons, and design them with very special abilities. Looking for feedback, and links to artwork by our users. Do you have some skills? Post a link to your portfolio. No skills? Let us know what you think of the idea!

I was asking questions and got responses! Here are some bits:

Bill Hemphill

Oh, how about fixing the 2.1 mil blood cap first? please?

Reign of Vampires

working on it right now

Bill Hemphill

Wow, and you guys are responding! Sweet Odin's Ravens! It's a miracle! What happened to you guys? Where did you go?

Reign of Vampires

Major Facebook policy changes caused us to have to rewrite all of our code. That's the short version.

Bill Hemphill

Wow. Well you did that without any apparent down time to the game. That's majorly impressive.

Reign of Vampires

Well, it wasn't just this game, it was all the games. The rewrites didn't require any downtime since there was no db restructuring. The 2.1mm blood cap fix though requires a change in the db backend which does cause downtime (the game is currently down for this fix)

Reign of Vampires

We're preparing for a bunch of new changes by Facebook (they may be removing requests and notifications completely), and may require another rewrite, so we're going to try to allow users to build content for the game.


Good News! I'll keep you all posted!

Ok, what is the point of this? Does this do anything? Every time I've done this it is someone not in my clan, not in my friends list. Am I supposed to add this person as a friend, or as the crosshair picture seems to suggest, attack them or put them on the hit list?

There is nothing listed on the wall from the devs about this feature.

Have you noticed anything about this feature? What are your feelings about it?

Discuss!

Shadow Form

Shadow form is updated on the spreadsheet all. Sorry for the delay.

BTW, it's not really worth it. It's the same cost as Astral Vision was but is 4 points under.

Notice however that they have what seems to be a classification tag in the name? The Astral ones had (Astral) and the shadow has (Shadow). It seems redundant now, or at least a goofy naming convention. However, the devs alluded to having special bonuses if you owned all the items in a set. As it stands, we don't know what exactly constitutes a set, but it would seem to make sense that it would be an attack power, defense power and enhancement.

So at the moment it appears that we have two sets to be collecting, Astral and Shadow. Wonder what the bonuses will be!
