[New World] Pack suggestions

[Jaina Chaosweaver of Fate]

With the retirement of the Old World becoming imminent, the thought turns to what the new world may bring. Since Deadhaus Sonata makes a big point of community involvement, the community gets a say in this. In this thread, you do not get to decide the fate of Malorum for once. Instead, you will get to decide the fate of new people joining us in Deadhaus. Come up with your ideas for new pack rewards and post them here! The dead who come up with the ideas that get picked, will get the reward they designed!

[Elveone]

First thought - you get to carry your gravestone as an item. You can drag it on a chain after you. Personalized with the name of the character and a cool gothic design with an ornate cross or whatever the appropriate religious symbol for Malorum would be. If there is housing you can also have the grave itself as a... furniture?

[Puzzlewell]

I know I said it initially as a joke but I might as well put it out there in some seriousness too. Now of course it clashes with the look of DeadHaus but in all honesty, since we're striving to have a lovely community too, a pack including "signed" pictures of Owen and the other high tier exec furry friends that have helped keep the team sane during creation could be something terribly sweet to have. <3 The great part about it too, since we're a digital age these days, we could even photoshop them to have the friends be for each of the classes too.

 

It's around 75% a joke, but I admit I absolutely would jump for it too cause it's a nice little touch that brings pet lovers of the community together. :3

[The Ever-Written End]

 

A bewitched scroll that records every death its owner has suffered by date, time, and cause.

Useless in the hands of a mortal, somewhat useful in the hands of the mortally-challenged.

(A cosmetic item for Herald teir level item)

[The Bell]

A large standing bell would appear, Ring, and then have the sound whispers from the older Wednesday videos intro with the scroll opening.

I would love to see a small dark music box, 8 notes so that you can custom your own song that plays for all to hear for just a few seconds.

Each note could be a minor chord so that it always has that dark feel to it. I would imagine it would be a higher tier item.

[Faceless Mike]

still surprised a "Will-o'-the-wisp" familiar / pet has not been suggested yet....

I suggest a will-o-wisp familiar pet.

 

But jokes aside..

 

A Compass of Malorum

 

Something that might be a low tier item..but an emote style action that pulls out a compass that projects a Malorum Constellation. Either Random or Specific.

(Quite possibly something that could guide you somewhere)

This would be really cool, kinda like how your town can have a tune in Animal Crossing? It could be a class-specific item, and it makes sense for a certain vocal undead to just sing it.... The musical items each class gets could be interesting for sure!

A slime monster that spreads to cover the area you are in when released, breaking down all that is yours to claim such as loot or materials before returning to you with it. Upon command the slime will reproduce what it gathered in the same state as it was before being broken down.

 

This would be to help out with resource gathering and inventory management.

Im pretty keen on a sword skin that has the likeness of a serpentine blade with a skull as a cross guard. Something of that sort that doesn't entirely encroach on an existing ip but definitely a nod and very familiar

There's already a dual axe skin that you get for supporting the game as a Founder at the Havoc and Malice tier (and above). I think that might be along the lines of the nod and reference you're looking for.

 

There might be a legally challenging element to using the Soul Reaver as I don't think Denis presently has the creative rights to that series. That might include the namesake blade itself in the legalese. The Havoc and Malice twin axes could probably a different story since they only ever appeared in the first game, to my knowledge (fun to use, too).

 

I'd love it (and get it) if they were able to add it in, but I'm not sure they're allowed to. Hopefully Denis or one of the other Apoc devs will comment in here saying whether or not it's possible.

The wavy Style of the soul reaver Is a kriss or one of it's longer variations

[Varik Keldun]

This is a Kris or Keris - it is a dagger

 

a flame-blade sword or flamberge would be what the soul reaver is considered

 

so the only issues with creating something like the soul reaver itself would deal with the Hilt to the guard of the sword.

I know.

[Lowlife]

So an extra long kriss with I dont know, a cool hilt with maybe a skull on it or something would be pretty cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I never said the soul reaver 😉😉😉. Maybe there could be something like the "spirit ravager". Just throwing some ideas out there lol. Also I think it would MASSIVE incentive for a lot of LOK fans to snag up a founder pack Edited June 10, 2021 by Lowlife

I don't know what the HUD will look like, but maybe player portrait frames? Slightly fancier with each tier.

There is a statue holding the different resource orbs. Perhaps different statues, the higher the tier the fancier?

Book of the (slain) Living: Keeps track of all enemies you've killed.

[Lowlife]

Not gonna lie, pretty salty my suggestion was skipped lol

I dunno, maybe that means it's already been accepted by Apoc as one of the new tier rewards. Mine seemed like a pretty popular idea as well, after all.

One can only hope but if not oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ill live hahahaha

[Livin]

Sorry if it offends but this is inspired by the Bible stories of Samson. This would be a living scalp with growing hair that when worn will fuse onto you and enhance your strength at increasing increments as the hair gets longer. You can trim and style it at a cost of some of that strength or let it grow unchecked to the point where it covers your body like a cloak and even trailing behind you as it drags on the ground like a long cap in exchange for the increased strength.

[Meta]

enhance your strength

It's a neat idea, but it likely wouldn't make it as a Founder's/Supporter pack item because they're all supposed to be cosmetic or whimsical in nature, not big game-altering items (pay to win).

 

You might try suggesting it as a standalone item that can be found in the game, though, through World Anvil.

 

I like the idea.

BOX OF TORMENT

This strange and mysterious box records the last thoughts of any departing soul in it's proximity. If someone owns it and kills an enemy, the trauma and agony of the departing soul will leave a "trace" inside the box witch will capture it's final painful moments in the form of the last thing the soul was able to process. It can be a scream, a curse, a cry for help to the gods, the though of a loved one, anything really... Once captured and stored inside the box, it can be heared, among many others that the owner would kill, in the forms of hauting disturbing whispers just by activating the box.

 

NEVERMORE (well technically this is more like Baron Aoric, in the sense that it would be a cosmetic NPC so not an item)

A demon that possessed a raven, looking unusually big and ominous. It follows the player, eating scraps of the souls that he/she slains before they leave this world (like a normal raven would do with corpses), resting on the shoulder when not in combat. When the player enters combat it would fly around or stay on some tree/roof commenting the fight (so yeah it would be a talking npc like the baron). It would talk outside combat too of course, but being a demon the player should be very careful to trust everything it says although sometimes it may say very interesting things (demon are supposed to be very knowledgeable after all). I imagine it to be pretty sassy and very fond of mocking others (even the player).
