Some ideas for Antagonists, NPCs, Build Items....

[CoreyRo]

Just tossing these out there...

Build Items

• Home Brew Station - collect stuff to make brews with better stamina trade-off with lower hydration, some high stamina low hydration beer causes a stuper effect (hazy vision, swaying aiming, disables chat/von lol) for a few mins or the duration of the stamina boost.
• Well - different items used together to craft a derrick and drill, certain chances to break drill needing to craft another. After a long timer (and use of player energy to operate) and a lot of noise drawing attention to you, you can then use more material to craft a well, hand crank 1st stage, motorized 2nd (uses player energy to operate) 
• Shower - Emergency pull type, used to clear all soiled level, drops player temp, adds a significant wet level. Needs a stage 2 well within frequency jammer.
• Fireplace - add materials to existing firepit to create fireplace, near instant prefect player temp, requires constant feed of wood logs every 2min or quicker. Incentive to upgrade is that firepits would cause significant soil level
• Electric fence - requires energy/lots and lots of material per section, destroyable only by explosives or vehicle impact (rendering vehicle inoperable, emp style, unfixable) , kills players on contact.

 

Aggressive High Damage

• Bears - Self explanatory, bears are terrifying 
• The two kids from The Shining - They appear all creepy like, at night super close to you, make creepy sounds (kids crying, high pitch screams and wicked sketchy music), proximity to sounds causes player to start bleeding severely, screen turns red hue, overwhelm with creepy sounds/music, randomly inverts and reverts controls until the antagonist is destroyed. (cross between the witch from Left for Dead and, the little girls from The Shining)
• Hell Hound - dogs are already OP and one hit you. Once that is fixed, there could be a 2 headed black cugo-like hell hound that spawns in a blast of smoke and flames, wicked crazy snarling and barking, super high HP, one hits you and you're dead
• Leatherface - Hulking deformed antagonist in bloody butchers apron, and skin or hockey mask charges you with a chainsaw, Full sprint, SUPER high HP. Would be awesome if it played Slayer - Deadskin Mask in the background lol
• And what else... hmm.....Fuck it, Velociraptors - they wreck you, corpse is unlootable

 

Passive Low or No Damage

• Pickpocket Player - Action button on player "T" allows a pickpocket attempt with predetermined chance to succeed. Failure causes player to pass out
• Sepsis - Gunshot wounds left untreated lead to sepsis, raising blood pressure and increasing toxicity.
• Dysentery - untreated water has a chance to cause dysentery, raising blood pressure, soiled level, and draining hydration level rapidly.
• EMP Grenade - instantly disables ground vehicles (repairable), instantly drains player energy, GPS,NVGs, and Range Finders disappear from inventory knocks out all advanced optics (NVG Scope, ACOG, ARCO, RCO, etc...)
• Weapon Jams - item gun oil used to maintain weapons

NPC

• Bandit Ambush - several unarmed bandits spawn and charge you at full sprint, within a certain proximity player becomes tied up and your crypto/primary/high value items/tools (random draw) is taken
• Gamble Traders - don't know how impossible it would be to develop a blackjack, roulette, or hold-em type trader. It would be pretty sick tho.
• Doctors - for relatively high crypto perform procedures to fix dysentery, sepsis, broken limbs, or other ailments

 

Turned out to be a bigger and most likely impossible list. But I was bored. There you go

Some cool ideas bro I hope to see some added.

[pr0dukt]

Love the mental image I had of the leather face idea with slayer in the background lol epic idea bro.

Epoch would be a damn carnival from hell if all these were implemented though. Pretty cool stuff. Lol

[CoreyRo]

hahaha, forget zombies, those characters would be way creepier in a dark server, solo separated from the rest of your group. Turn around and theres just the two girls from The Shining creepin on you, suddenly your overwhelmed by intense crazy music/sounds, your screen turns red and your controls go inverted. You're trying to sort it out and get a headshot when suddenly you hear a chainsaw rev up in the distance, an evil mechanical laugh and then Deadskin Mask starts in! Would be gnarly. If you don't know this awesome jam you don't know what you're missin. Dead Skin Mask

love it :)

I would love to see another variant of the sapper, maybe have it cause massive infection rates or something. Put a nest of these things somewhere well hidden and then hide the gauss rifle from napf in the area!

I'm liking a lot of these ideas, especially the build items. The stamina system is great and I think it opens the doors for a lot of stamina manipulating items/systems. Stamina is almost like a commodity for me now.

Edit: bucking autocorrect

Slayer!!!  Imagine if this actually ended up in the game! Haunting imagery with the shining twins. Nice ideas

[CoreyRo]

Right? It would be pretty awesome. Unfortunately seems like copyrights get in the way. Scam-spam, the Henry Repeater is called a Rollins Rifle #iseewhatyoudidthere subtle Black Flag reference. So with that being said I doubt we'd be hearing any Slayer in epoch.

[EpicLynz91]

Sad panda :(

[=BRC=Shep]

I would like to see antagonist more towards greek monsters such as Medusa and Minators.  I think they would fit in well with Cultists and Sappers. 

[niggle]

A giant would be pretty awesome like a cyclops ie jason and the Argonauts style awesome!!

 

A giant roaming round a house your stuck in too afraid to make a break for it haha

[CoreyRo]

Have you seen the Construct? It's pretty much a giant.

Is that what I saw on axles twitch?

[SkyDogs]

Is that what I saw on axles twitch?

 

It looked like a cross between a transformer and a humanoid tree. 

[EpicLynz91]

I heard they are going to make a bear!

[CoreyRo]

Pretty sure its coincidence, think they were already planning on it.
I saw a bear on sequisha's stream when he was making the construct a day after I posted this, It looked pretty much done already.

Bear is already in the game data, not in game though. Has been for a while now. With epoch mod on you can go to the editor and see the item list, even spawn some stuff.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. It's gonna be badass having to contend with bears, can't wait.

I'd like more clothes for women characters, and maybe some more epoch created asset accessories, backpacks, hats etc...

You just missed a couple streams of doing just that. twitch.tv/sequisha

3 new female ghillies ready for patch day.
