Get rid of chaotic feedback

It is my personal opinion that there should be no chaotic feedback. PVP is way too fast paced with it. Also i liked it much better before when you could set the draw speed of your rolling deck.

 

I think it'd be cooler as a "i know im about to die" kinda going down swingin skill that kills you once it's gone. Like a kamikaze that doesnt explode.

 

It has always seemed like a very overpowered spell to me.

One of the reasons this power is supposed to exist in the Chaos school is that it's supposed to be able to backfire on the caster. That's not currently implemented.

At one point, Starr said that it would be fun to have a chaos spell like that cast and there would be a percentage chance of the spell (for example) turning the caster into a chicken! I would love to see this happen. I'm going to start lobbying for it.

If that happened, I think it would make the risk vs. reward use of chaos magic more in line with the actual design goals.

 

Necromancers taming undead, Chaos mages turning into chickens.

Baron should have been a dev, love your ideas.

 

I wish I could take credit for it. There's a very old video of Starr when he first joined the team talking about Chaos Magic and turning casters into chickens. Very cool video that was probably the most he's ever talked about his goals for magic.

Sorry, I don't have a link. It was him being interviewed by some web blog guy.

 

Always wanted to play a wild mage in 2nd edition ad&d but all my friends 'back in the day' played the first edition rules - a wild mage's spell power was variable and there was a chance for a wild surge on each cast which could be 100 different effects. Pretty interesting stuff. Hoping to spend more time testing out Chaos Magic this release, need to get my Daemon on!

 

I played a wild Mage and I toed him as one of those crazy ol koots. He was silly, clumsy, hair was a mess, dressed like a colorful bum. His name was cukoo like the clock! I remember one time when the spell landed in my favor it was awesome, when it didn't we all had a good laugh at the outcome.

Good times.
