So currently it seems like the issue we are facing is balancing the different classes, and how their specific action skills should be handled within the system.

>>24485628
The first item on our agenda today: Figuring out how the Slag Harpy works as a class, and how it stacks up against the other classes at different levels.

>>24485655
>how it stacks up against the other classes
It stacks up well.

So far we've decided we're using stats that correspond to those of DnD (somewhat)

Right now we have Hurty, Heavy, Speedy, Shooty, Crazy, and Greasy. I'm assuming we'll be using the DnD gold-standard 3d6 stat roll to determine these stats upon character creation.

>>24485840
Please elaborate on those classes, especially greasy

>>24485655
Slag Harpy should obviously be a maximum Crazy class, with appropriate amounts of Speedy and Greasy. The other pointless shit can be dump stats

i love it when /tg/ gets shit done

>>24485853
All of those stats, with the exception of Shooty, correspond to at least one stat from DnD.

Hurty is STR
Heavy is CON
Speedy is DEX
Crazy is INT/WIS
Greasy is CHA
Shooty is just general gun proficiency, which, in the Wonderful World of Whàck Foo, is important enough to warrant an entire stat.

>>24485883
>But, anon, those are all adjectives, and besides, how can a person be Greasy as part of the core of their very existence?
Salvador, Marcus, Handsome Jack, and Master Gee are all PRIME examples of Greasy as an attribute, please learn to harness your inner Whàck Foo before you ask stupid questions.

>>24485855
Obvious, but our focus right now is on the SKILLS. What SKILLS will the class use? How will these skills improve or be changed through leveling? What equipment best complements these skills? What would be the best use of these skills?
AND MORE

>>24485916
How is Master Gee a Prime example of Greasy? If he's a Prime example of anything, it's LAWFUL LAW and DEMOCRATIC DEMOCRACY. Last I checked, politics and Greasy do not go hand in hand.

>>24486110
but you're a gigantic fucking faggot.

so I just tl;drd th older threads, are the classes as we know it?

>>24486110
>politics and Greasy do not go hand in hand
Oh god no, let's not have this discussion PLEASE.

>>24486134
Don't be rude, anon, we are trying to maintain a level of quality discussion in this thread.

The classes are BRETTY MUCH exactly as we know them, but with a few tweaks made by /tg/, for the sake of adapting them to a proper RPG system.

>>24486180
We also had to change the Siren into something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT due to phluph issues

>>24486134
Don't be a dick.

>>24486228
And it was HORRIFYING

>>24486180
well in the earlier threads (I did read some before I gave up) it was proposed that the PCs in BL1 &2 with major similarities might be rolled up into 1 class for the PnP.
Was this officially decided on?
>>24486228
Slag Harpies was a brilliant idea

fuck my grammar goes to shit when I can't sleep (and need it)

>>24486255
It seems like we're trying to make it so that the Soldier/Commando class is based mostly on representing a particular corporation, similar to how Roland represented Atlas (kinda), and Axton represented Dahl. Each company's version of the class has a drastically different skillset and playstyle.

>>24486307
The ideas for the Torgue Commando from last thread sounded very fun.

>>24486316
>turret with mounted amp blaring HEAVY METAL for morale boost
Fun stuff.

>>24486254

I would prefer just a plain old female Psycho.

"YOU'RE GONNA BE MY MEATCYCLE."

>>24486374
>with mounted grenade launcher
>the grenades are now legendaries
>also a mounted rocket launcher
>the rockets are now legendaries
Fuck yes, Meteor Shower and Tunguska all day motherfucker TORGUE

are activated skills going to have a 'per day' activation limit?
Would this apply to only more powerful skills?
since combat is turn based, and not real time, cooldowns will be measured in turns- should some abilities cooldown length be shortened by performing certain actions?
How will turns work?
I'm feeling an action point system inwhich players are allowed a specific number of points every turn, allowing them to spend those points to perform multiple actions in 1 turn, rather than a rigid, 'you can do this or that' system.
i.e.
player gets 12 AP (action points) to spend on his turn
he spends 2 points switching to his shotgun, 1 point to move from behind cover, 4 points to fire two shots, 1 point to move back, 1 point to crouch/take cover, and 3 points to reload

seems reasonable enough

>>24486399
There's a bunch of good ones from the last thread.

"DRAW ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH GIRLS!!!" *FUCKBLAMMO*
"DADDY CALLED ME HIS LITTLE PRINCESS!"
"LETS PLAY DRESS EM UP DOLLY!"
"ITS THE TIME OF THE MONTH THAT I GOT TO KILL!"
"COME ONE, COME ALL, TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF WHACK FOO, WHERE THE DICE ARE RIGGED AND THE POINTS DON'T MATTER!!!" *michaelbaysplosion*
HIT ME! HIT ME AND CALL ME PRETTY! JUST LIKE DADDY USED TO!
I NEVER KNEW MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER TRIED TO EAT ME! TWICE! ON MY BIRTHDAY! EVERY YEAR!

>>24486436
Action Points COULD work, although the reason why Pen-and-paper games generally prefer the "action breakdown" (move and shoot, or move twice, etc.) is because it's much easier to track, and there's simply less things to mess up. Same thing with cooldowns.

Sure, you could run a system with both action points and cooldowns, but you'd need to have a party where everyone is on top of their shit, or the entire thing would break down. Me, personally, I wouldn't mind, because I go maximum sperglord over combat mechanics anyway, but a lot of people simply wouldn't appreciate something this mechanics-heavy.

I think the 40k roleplay system of actions would work just fine. Hey, it worked for Dungeons: the Dragoning, and that game is pretty crazy. Maybe we should take a few notes from that.

>>24485883
>>24485916
Stop using that French A, it makes you look like a Maliwan rep.

>>24486487
you have a point, but I'm too tired/lazy/hungry to take notes on that shit (I looked it up, and it's totally cool)

How about we consider shooting a 'free' action, cuz you've gotta be shooting all the time, or it just isn't borderlands
or rather that would probably just be a class skill wouldnt it?

>>24486578
Shooting as a free action sounds like a bad idea, if only because this means you could magdump a bandit LMG in one turn. And as fun as that'd be, it'd be a bit OP.

>>24486578
Orrrrr... we could consider movement a free action - you can make a full move in addition to your other actions by default, and shoot at normal accuracy while doing so. Certain actions (like aiming) apply a penalty to movement.

>>24486621
yeah that came out wrong, I need sleep adn all that
>>24486648
this seems like a good idea, get the scientists working on the technology immediately

>>24486648
Hmmmm, okay, here's what I was thinking:

Every turn, you can make a full move, and shoot with your gun at base accuracy and rate of fire. You can ALWAYS shoot (unless you're reloading), but you can also apply the following action modifiers (up to two per turn, the same one can be applied twice).

Basic Modifiers:
Aim Good: Increased accuracy, reduce movement.

Go Fast: Increased movement, reduce accuracy.

Shoot More: Increased rate of fire, reduce movement OR accuracy.

Duck/Cover: Reduced chance of getting hit, reduce movement.

Other Modifiers (might be skills, might be available to certain classes, something like that)
Jam it In: Hurry up a long reload, no movement, counts as two modifying actions.

Verbal Taunt: Shout something that may or may not affect your opponent, reduce movement (shortness of breath)

Gesture Taunt: Do something with your hands, reduce accuracy (can't hold gun properly while doing it)

Do Something Else: Class/skill/gun specific action, you get the idea.

>>24486523
Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, he IS a Maliwan rep?

>>24485840
>DnD gold-standard 3d
Just use point-buy.

>>24487103
point-buy is stupid vidya shit, go away

>>24487130
I respectfully disagree. Both stat rolling and point-buy can work for different games, depending on what kind of fun you want to have.

>>24487130
What are, new to tabletop ?
You need to check yourself, son.

>>24487164
Fuck you, Maliwan faggot.

>>24487130

Point buy is an even playing field that still allows personalisation.

>>24487178

I vote for TRUE TABLETOP TIER Statroll.

>>24487235
>>24487246
It was just a suggestion. Not like you have to use one or the other. Nothing is stopping me or you from doing you way. Stop being baby

>>24487259
Stop being Maliwan, fag.

>>24487268
Ok buddy, ok.

i prefer point-buy because the dice love to fuck me over
once i rolled up a character with all single-digit stats

>>24487277
And that, ladies and gents, is how to get a Maliwan fag to stop being a Maliwan fag.

You just tell them to stop being a Maliwan fag, pretty much. It's not even that hard. A Bandit could do it.

>>24487257
>>24487283
You don't have to vote. Just use whichever system you like for stats. There is no Borderlands police here (unless maybe >>24487130
>>24487178
>>24487246
>>24487268
). Nobody cares how you use it in your game.

Surprisingly little. We'd unionize, but corporate security says otherwise.

God damn you stupid fuckers shut the fuck up. We've already decided over the last three threads that we were doing it traditional, and classic, and authentic, and genuine, and that means fucking roll 3d6 six times and allocate whatever you get into your stats, goddamn

BACK TO SLAG 'ARPIES

>>24487338
>roll 3d6 six times and allocate whatever you get into your stats
So... Forgotten Realms style, bretty much?

>>24487338
>We've already decided over the last three threads

Then why are we still debating it? Just becasue you want to yell louder doesn't make it the truth.

>>24487352
Yes, 3d6d6 will give a player, on AVERAGE, 54 points to put into stats, and usually more than that.

>>24487364
We're still debating it because /v/ fags want to force point-buy into everything to make it more like their chinese animal mangoes

>>24487377
and their Deus Ex and their Skyrim and their 90210. It's all SHET.

>>24487235
the fluff explanation for why a characters stats are what they are is totally unrelated too how those stats where generated.

>>24487420
So, how much money did your shitposting skills cost?

>>24487420
God damn, you must be one RICH motherfucker to be able to afford the balls necessary to make a post like that in a thread like this.

>>24487420
Check your toxic white privvy.

Oi. Guys, stop bickering so we can get shit done. Concerning point buy, I say leave it up to the GM. Base things on 3d6d6, and say "By the way, if you want point-buy give your players ** points to spend."

>>24487443
He probably bought a shitload of dexterity, too, given how far he's able to shove his head inside his own asshole.

>>24487475
Normally this is where I would say, if the players want pointbuy, just give them 54 points for stats, because that's the average of a 3d6d6 roll, but if a Whàck Foo player is SERIOUSLY faggy enough to want pointbuy in A GOD DAMN WHÀCK FOO GAME, they deserve a -6 penalty, so 48 points for stats.

And don't you dare fucking say anything about pointbuy for skills or feats or any of that shit. That just isn't fucking happening.

>>24487475
This man is the only one speaking sense right now.

>>24487517
I'm reminded of how AdEva's sword was meant to be crappy, because they knew some players would want a sword. And (to them, at least) swords just aren't very Eva-ish. I'm not sure how much I like this line of thinking, but it's certainly an option.

>>24487533
Thank you.

Alright, it's settled.

The stats are determined by allocation from the value of a 3d6d6 roll, OR, if the players are quadriplegic infants who are physically incapable of rolling dice, they get 48 capitalist points to put into stats.

CAN WE PLEASE MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA NOW?

>>24487551
Sounds good to me.

So, what IS the next item on our agenda?

>>24487560
Well, we WERE trying to figure out skillsets for Slag Harpies, but some /v/ DICK tried to enforce POINTBUY CAPITALIST LAW and ruined it for everyone.

>>24487599
Elemental projectile vomit, summons, inducing hallucinations, turning yourself into semi-corporeal elemental sludge ghosts, deadly sonic screaming? Just tossing some general ideas out there.

>>24487599
Personally, I see them as being a bit like 40k psykers. Damn powerful, and just as combustible.

Hm. Maybe a suicide bomber of sorts could be a viable build? CHEARG into a crowd of enemies, Phase the fuck out of them, asplode, respawn, CHEARG, rinse, repeat.

A friend of mine was going to employ a similar strategy in an Eclipse Phase game that never happened, actually. Essentially, a one-man blitzkreig. Our GM called him "Kenny".

Anyway, it's way too fucking late for me to be up. Sleep-dep can bring out the best of my creativity, but I doubt it works as well for crunch. And we don't need a cannon that launches chickens. Skags, maybe.

Actually, I like that idea. Probably not something portable (and thus PC-wieldable) but could still make for a fun encounter.

>>24487675
I like the way you think.

Anyway, I probably should've been in bed several hours ago. I AM THE PRETTYEST GIRL IN THE HESOLE WORL

(Old joke, pay it no heed.)

>>24485855

Yeah, because the worst posters of the previous threads keep coming back to harp on about their personal agendas while more and more people leave because of the howling monkeys making discussion impossible. The actual amount of assholes doens't go up by much, they just seem louder by comparison.

Fucking babies, the whole lot of you. Go argue about optional shit when nothing is done in the core of the system. Very nicely done.

Signed, Maliwan Police

>tfw when creator of first three threads [I was asleep when the fourth was made] and you're discussion has become nothing but shitposts


Personally I say we use one of the Warhammer 40k systems. It would be possible to point buy there but I've never seen it done.

Maybe each class would start out with starting stats based on class, the same for everyone. So everyone is pretty much equal, then as they level up, they get skills and perks to increase their attributes. And maybe gear could also increase attributes like Axton's targeting module, Zer0's elbow pads or Salvador's ammo digistructor.

Okay, if you lazy gits aren't gonna come up with anything, I'll at least elaborate a little on the Slag Harpy skills I suggested earlier in >>24487675

Elemental vomit: a grenade-like projectile that splashes everyone in the target area with a damage over time effect, and creates hazardous ground for a LONG time.
Critical Fuckup: You lose a turn or few as you throw up all over your boots. Apply DOT to yourself, and create hazardous ground centered on yourself, you are not immune to it.
Capstone upgrade: Creatures that die in the target area or while affected by the DOT partially melt and turn into sludge skeleton jellies.

Summons: One or more wildlife creatures and/or midgets come up from the ground as sludge skeleton jellies - creatures with normal body structure appear as skeletons covered in partially-melted, translucent, element-infused flesh, creatures with exoskeletons are covered with elemental sludge, and have holes in them that reveal they're full of even more sludge. They attack your enemies, pretty standard fare.
Critical Fuckup: Your summons attack you. What did you expect.
Capstone upgrade: The summoned skeleton jellies are now infectious, and spread their state to enemies they kill.

Inducing hallucinations: A cloud of fumes from a particularly nasty version of whatever the Harpy's been taking latches onto the target and causes them to trip balls in a very bad way. Targets that are too weak to take it just kill themselves instantly. Most targets either panic and run around, sit down for the ride, or start shooting randomly. The strongest targets are merely shaken a bit and take a penalty to their movement and/or accuracy, and may babble a bit, but can still fight.
Critical fuckup: The cloud is stuck to your head, and you're not immune to it.
Capstone upgrade: A massive spinning cloudtrip rolls forward, hilarity and anarchy reigns wherever it passes through.

*continued*

>>24486316

Should have a mortar. For firing over cover.

I think we need to disassociate thematic functions of actions skills away from class roles. Technically, Mordecai, Roland, Axton, and Gaige are ALL summoners, in game mechanic terms. (Maybe even Maya once you get the upgrade to make Phaselock intelligently seek enemies for its duration.) I think the breakdown should be more like, you decide that you want your ability to be Summon, and then you fluff its name, appearance, and MO through your class' style.

Also, I don't wanna be that guy who breaks theming, but as long as we're introducing lesser not-Sirens so players can play with phase powers, can we say that males can become not-Sirens, too? Along with an appropriately derogatory name, or something.

Slaggots?

>>24488714
Sludge ghosting: The Slag Harpy turns herself into sludge skeleton jelly mode, temporarily, gaining high physical and elemental resistance (to the element they turned into only), gaining a damaging aura, as well as elemental melee damage. The tanking option.
Critical fuckup: You get coated with elemental slimeshit without being immune to the damage. Have fun. If you die while in this state, you turn into sludge skeleton jelly, permanently.
Capstone upgrade: Queen Bitch of Slag mode. Lose guns, gain powerful claws, unlimited vomit, superspeed, and almost complete immunity to all damage. Warning: Critically fucking this up is not recommended. Your mind might be lost forever.

Sonic screaming: Send out a linear wave of pure, armor-piercing, auditory damage that also stuns and incapacitates targets in its way.. Explodes heads on a killing blow.
Critical fuckup: Take damage and lose your voice. If this kills you, your head a splode.
Capstone upgrade: massive, wide shockwave that blows away people and tears down walls. Warning: Critically fucking this up may cause an expanding circular shockwave that wipes out you and all your friends. You have been warned.

>>24488755
Well, I just presented a good range of crowd control, summoning, and damaging abilities for Slag Harpies, complete with "perils". The other classes should have a similar variety, if this ends up being used.

>>24488838
that looks like a pretty solid set of abilities, but what will the slag harpies play in general

>>24488825
Well Sirens are always female, and Slag Harpies are bandit attempts to emulate Sirens, I'm don't think men would try this, they assume rolls like Marauders, the main fighting force, and Nomads, the midget wranglers. The women would take fancier and scary jobs. Because bandit women are scary

>borderlands

More like borderline /tg/

>>24489033
You mean what will they play like? I think the general concensus is that they'd be like Psykers. They could specialize, in shooting supplemented with abilities, full-on power usage, melee, or suport, as they want. They can do whatever the hell they want, but they also risk drowning in their own electrified vomit, turning to skeleton jelly, or exploding their own head whenever they use their phenomenal cosmic powers.

It's the price for gaining your powers from ingesting questionable chemicals and huffing markers.

>>24489115
So pretty much how Siren plays in the vidya but with more masochistic fun?

Like that, yeah.

Just watch for that skeleton jelly version of yourself that now roams where you died.[/spoiler)

>>24489965
That should be a rare occurrence, you have a chance leave behind something where you die, and it depends on your last used skill

>>24490722
If dying after you critfail Sludge Ghosting or Queen Bitch counts as a rare occurence, then yeah.

>>24488755
>I think we need to disassociate thematic functions of actions skills away from class roles.
That was the plan all along. Each class can choose from 3 different branches of abilities, a summon(Mordecai, Gaige), a deployable(Roland, Axton), or an activated(Lilith, Maya, Brick, Salvador, Zero)

Of course, I like the work >>24488714 is doing too.

>>24489115
>They could specialize, in shooting supplemented with abilities
No, they need to be semi-fragile melee mages. Think of a psycho that also was constantly exploding. With tits.

>>24489115
I guess it falls in line with the sludge ghost, but I liked the idea someone came up with in another thread where Slag Harpies send forward a phase ghost of themselves that explodes on contact with the enemy. Maybe make it explode into an elementally damaging phaselock, too.

We can call it Phaserock.

>>24491098
Yeah ok, I'm all for variety, but I'm pretty sure we can focus on Sludge Ghosting for core. I never said they couldn't explode.

>>24491179
See, the idea is that Slag Harpies are IMPERFECT copies of Sirens. They can't exactly phase in the same way Sirens can, they can just... discorporate their flesh... partially, turning into what I call sludge ghosts, or forcibly discorporate other people by melting them, making sludge skeleton jelly.

>>24491249
They could also have powers to slag absolutely everything, and with a very potent slag power at higher levels.

>>24491249
>Critfail your Sludge Ghosting check
>Your skeleton tears itself from your flesh and explodes at the nearest enemy

>>24491283
That too, it's not like I'm the only guy working on this. Keep the ideas coming, people.

>>24491249
A screaming grenade-person that explodes on contact is a fair step away from phasewalking, but I see your point.

Though that does bring up a good idea for a power where you force other people to phasewalk, but since the process is imperfect instead bits and pieces of them are winking in and out of reality and they are getting all sorts of internally fucked up by it. Make them take some damage over time and be more vulnerable to damage, maybe have some upgrades where their weapons phase out whenever they try to hit you or they spew elemental damage out of their phase wounds to nearby enemies and have one of the ultimate upgrades be that if they die while phase-ripped then they explode and it jumps to nearby foes.

It'll be kinda like this.

>>24491409
Yes, yes, now we're getting somewhere. It's suitably offensive and chaotic. Exploding Knees can even be the name of one of the involved skills

>>24491320
Alright, so the imperfect facsimile of Phase is called Sludge. We could have more than one Sludge ability-- Sludge ghosting, sludge attacks, or "sludge cloning", which amounts to tearing out a piece of yourself and giving it skeleton jelly life so it may attack your enemies. Until it dies, you suffer constant stat penalties (or until you die and are digistructed again, I don't know which one's better).

>>24491453
I also like Tear You A New One as one of the upgrades, since you are basically giving them a bunch of pretty new holes to play with.

>>24491453
>Exploding Knees: Okay, so we tried to get one of our Slag harpies to get Jim phasewalking like a Siren. His kneecaps did it perfectly. Aim this at an enemy and a random piece of his body stops being there for a while and rematerializes later. If he's lucky, it might actually be inside his body.

>Jim was not lucky.

>>24491460
Okay, so we could have at the very least Sludge ghosting, Sludge projectiles (maybe works as the projectile vomit I described earlier), Sludge explodification (this >>24491409
), and Sludge cloning (of the summoned minions, or screaming charger of death variety)

>>24491554
And that just gave me the idea of a Corporate research facility - probably Hyperion or Maliwan - investigating the Slag Harpy phenomenon by doing things like what happened to Jim and setting up caged Slag Harpy fights because this is still Pandora, after all.
>>24491460
>>24491588
I dont like this. Some, maybe only one SH ability should be Sludge related. If you do it all the time, then Harpies are no longer chaotic and random and become dull, watered down Sirens instead of ridiculous DIY-Bandit Sirens. That and >>24491409 has nothing to do with sludge, its all about erratic phasing.

>>24486948
i like this more this
>>24488714
>>24488838
i like some of these ideas. A LOT.

Are we going to be spliting up each class into 3 skill trees like the traditional BL classes are in the vidya?

And a few slag harpie skills I'd like to throw out there

Slag armour- reduces the amount of damage taken while slagged (as opposed to increasing the amount)
could be a high level skill that doesn't get too powerful, could be for the hurty skill tree

masochism- increases move/reload sped and rate during turns that they received damage
(the hurty tree as well)

slag screen- like a smoke bomb that obscures vision (good for giving cover, or blinding enemies), all bulets that pass through deal addition 1-5 (based on skill level) dmg.
for more of the supporting role, the dmg increase doesn't really matter and can be removed entirely.

maybe a skill tree apart from the offensive and support one that revolves around bloodletting? abilities like slitting her wrists and firing blood bullets without needing to reload as long as she's bleeding. (of course damage is applied) Things like that'n'such

>>24491648
Yeah, you might be right. The abilities should each have a certain level of "what the fuck am I doing" to them, otherwise the class won't be as entertaining as it should be.

>>24491648
That's why I originally threw chemically induced hallucinations and sonic screaming into the mix. Good to see someone latch onto that idea.

Okay, so:
-elemental vomit
-sludging
-erratic, offensive phasing
-Mindfucking gas
-sonic attacks

>>24491689

And yes, sonic attacks look like pic related. 'Breathe in, breathe out.

>>24491718
What I'm imagining for the different skill trees is one that emphasizes slag powers, one that gives mostly basic buffs and bonuses, and one for speed and close attacks. That way, you could have Slag Harpies that work in three different ways: One that acts as slag support for the group and tears enemies apart in strange ways, another that works as a normal, gun-shooting party member with extra slag on the side, and a third that basically amounts to a Slag Psycho, running up while screaming incoherently and tearing enemies apart.

>>24491842
See, the way I was thinking is that even though Lilith and Maya are both Sirens, their abilities are different enough that they are two different classes in practice, and that the Harpies would have even less related abilities, and sometimes even unrelated, nonsensical bullshit. I totally understand if you wanna stick to a single class variant for core, but it's something to keep in mind.

Idea: Why not split the Slag Harpy abilities into different trees, separate from character advancement trees? You have a different rank in each ability tree, which determines what level of abilities you have access to? One ability tree might be creating gravity wells (Like Maya) while another might involve tearing shit up in melee, and yet another might involve a version of phase walking?

As you gain levels as a Slag Harpy you get more points to buy more abilities, of which there are a ton.

I know we're discussing Slag Harpies here, but what about class mods? How would they work? The same as in-game?

>>24493487
i would think so, seems pretty strait forward.

>>24493487
Basically. We could make it more complicated, but there's no reason to do so unless the game balance needs tweaking

>>24489068
One of the earliest missions in BL2 is extracting a chunk of Eridium from the windpipe of a male bandit, to which Zed remarks that he's repeatedly told them they can't get slag powers by swallowing the stuff.

There is more precedent for male attempts at getting slag powers than there is for female bandits at all.

>>24487364
IT DOES IF YOU WORK FOR TORGUE!!!

>>24494465
Yeah, of course swallowing eridium doesn't work. You need to douse yourself in the blood of slagged enemies and huff a ton of markers.

>>24494549
No, you need to inject slagged liquids and huff a ton of markers.

>>24494465
Thats why you have to drink refined slag along with some motor oil, skag grease, paint thinner, and then huff a bunch of Hyperion 100% Recycled TOTALLY NOT MADE FROM PANDORA INDUSTRIAL RUNOFF Brand Markers.

>>24494549
>>24494572
>>24494625

I appreciate the comedy, but I would doubly appreciate the point remaining noted that there are canon bandit attempts at gaining slag powers through exposure. I vote we make the Slag Harpy class gender nonspecific.

>>24494682
and as mentioned before, the male variant will be referred to as 'Slaggots'

>>24494682
I never said they had to be gender specific when I first suggested them, I just suggested the obtuse method of attaining the powers since it clearly didnt work from just eating eridium. And I went with Slag since those slag pits fucked creatures up something fierce in both the bowels of Pandora and in the Hyperion Research Facility. If it can turn Bloodwing into that beast, then slag has to have SOME effect on people.

S&S has shitton of cargo room, traumatized at the fact that S&S doesn't exist anymore, at least not in Pandora.

Similarly to Atlas, which is white and black and clearly made of high quality materials.

Fuck, lets do some more:

Tediore: almost no metal, only plastic and carbon fiber. Self destructs often but gets replicated immediately.

Dahl: OPERATOR AS FUCK

Maliwan: what if Apple made a Claptrap. Also thinks he is superior to anyone else.

Bandit: see >>24497329. Speaks like a bandit. Greets you with HEYOOOO.

>>24500414
>Greets you with HEYOOOO
No.
Let's not do this.

>>24500414
>Atlas and Tediore Claptraps.

And now boys and girls, the amount of Claptraps in Sanctuary rises to 11!

I imagine you find the 10 cooperate claptraps in some hidden underground bunker in a cave.
The bunker is built using dead claptrap units as bricks, it was the only way they could hide when Hyperion shut down the product line, disguising as a pile of already dead claptraps.

>>24500414
>>24499730
Tediore needs to talk with 1950s America, Leave It To Beaver style mannerisms to keep in line with their commercials.

>>24500510
YES

>>24500572
And is also trying to sell you Tediore weaponry every minute. it's basically a walking ad.

>>24500510
What roles would these Claptraps serve in their 10 bot society?

Anshin would obviously keep the other 9 in working order, and Tediore would be their living bomb.

Bandits attack?
Tediore! Go throw your body at them!

>>24500691
>>24500626
I think we should focus more on Tediores image rather than their weapon effects for the Claptraps. For example, Vladof and Tediore would constantly get into arguments where one tries to form a communist Claptrap utopia and the other constantly yammers on about the benefits of good old fashioned capitalism.

>>24500760
But Tediore exploding would be hilarious.

Vladof and Tediore get in a particularly heated argument, Tediore gets mad and explodes, redigistructing a few seconds later.

I guess. It just feels a little played out.

>>24500878
Well they'd just need to make sure it doesn't happen to often, as with all comedy, timing is everything,

>>24500846
Not exploding, just falling apart. Tediorebot would constantly be carrying little pieces of polymer and carbon fiber, and he'd be pretty much joined at the hip to Anshinbot.

>>24500919
He only explodes when he gets angry/run out of ammo. Torguetrap likes throwing him AT ENEMIES because EXPLOSIONS. Best buds with Anshinbot and hates Vladofbot. Torguebot is just annoying.

>>24500919
When he falls apart completely he just redigistructs, but it would be unpleasent for him, hence alway near Anshintrap

>>24501177
Well, the New-U stations are expensive.

>>24501205
I thought it would be he falls apart down then has a digistructor inside him that breaks his parts down then reconstructs them together.

thats how i assume Tediore weapons work, the user carrying a digistructor on their person that reconstructs their gun when its destroyed.

Maliwantrap probably wouldn't get along with ANY of the others except maybe Atlastrap.

Also S&Strap should be a kelptomaniac, with his high cargo space and all, maybe following Tedioretrap around picking up any parts that fall off him.

This is going to be fun.

>>24501035

One thing I can say about it that it came to be when a Bandit saw a Jakobs gun, and said "shit dog, I can make a gun like that!"

>>24508428
We still have 33 posts left, calm down.

What about bandit Turrets?Here's what I'm thinking,They're don't really have any sort of targeting system it's just a mass of guns with the triggers welded in the firing position. Since it's just a big ball of guns it sort of bounces around wildly shooting in every direction at once. Occasionally doing extra damage when it lands on an enemy, but it also has a chance to inflict friendly fire. At the capstone level they have bonuses and special effects based on the guns you have equipped/In your backpack.

>>24515415
I say we continue this debate in the next thread. This one is getting close to autosage.

>>24515548
We still have 14 posts left, calm your dick.

>>24515475
This is the only CORRECT answer.

>>24515576
We need to get this archived.

>>24515728
It's probably not going to happen, given how fast this thread is sinking.

Only 90 seconds to fall off the front page, seriously?

>>24515766
In one of the previous threads it was clocked at 2 minutes, but yes, it does actually seem that the sink rate has increased recently.

>>24515779
It's fucken bullshit is what it is.

We're only nine posts away from thread death, so we need to get this thread archived, and start another one.

Get on it, /tg/.

>>24515861
/tg/ seems more reluctant each thread to archive and start new threads. Last one got archived almost 50 posts past autosage. It was on page 7.

>>24515884
Actually, it got archived relatively early, only about 200 posts in, IIRC. But the new thread didn't actually get made until well past autosage, yes.

Saved from the second page again.

God damnit, /tg/, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.

>>24515926
Just let it go, anon. This is it. This thread isn't getting archived. A new one isn't getting posted. It's over. We had our run and it was good while it lasted.

>>24515952
Fuck you. Get the fuck out of our thread with your defeatist attitude.

Archive this shit and post a new thread already GOD DAMN.

Lazy fuckers can't be trusted to do SHIT around here.

>>24515926
>Saved from the second page again.
Jesus christ, dude. You can keep posting past autosage for fuck's sake. You don't need to make a new thread the instant you hit 300 posts.

>>24515976
Agreed. /tg/ needs to GET SHIT DONE.

>>24515976
Archive it yourself, if you're so desperate to have it happen RIGHT NOW OH GOD.
For fuck's sake, it's not going to 404 in five minutes.

>>24515977
Yeah well you're a pretty gigantic fucken faggot so fuck off.

>>24515987
Actually, given the sink rate, established as roughly 90 seconds per page, it would only take 15 minutes to 404.

>>24516002
Sink rates become gradually slower each page.

Threads past the sixth page or so can stay there for hours before sinking.

Yall niggas need to calm yo asses down

>>24516002
That's assuming that ALL pages have a sink rate of 90 seconds, which just isn't true.
I've found that on average, a thread takes roughly six hours to go from the top of Page 0 to the bottom of Page 10

>>24516044
>>24516022
While that may be true, you're forgetting that the majority of anons only look at the front page. Threads that fall off the front page without someone actively re-bumping them are almost certainly headed for 404. That's why there's such a power struggle for first page, and, subsequently, why the first page has the highest sink rates.

If we didn't have that stupid shitassholed sticky on the front page taking up valuable thread estate, we could have more threads on the first page.
