Thief class

Opened this issue · 10 comments

Adding thief class to Classes mode. A thief cannot use any weapon. Upon right clicking on some enemy with the special tool, a random slot from enemy's inventory is chosen and if not empty and not class item, it is added to thief's inventory. A thief has 1.5x speed, as much as medic's HP.

Addition of this class is dependent on #1010

This would become the primary class for flag-stealing. It seems a little unbalanced

Because of the increased speed? How about reducing HP to 75% or 50% of medic's HP?

People don't like the shooter class's low HP, and that's a long-range class


What about the thief class makes it a valuable addition to the game? How well does it work with the other classes?

Not sure how well it could work with other classes. I am imagining two scenarios:

  • A thief steals from enemies and adds to teamchest and gains some points
  • Or this new thing: A thief cannot steal class items. But it can swap its place in the enemy's inventory. It could be dangerous during combat.

I'd like it to have a stronger relationship with other classes than that. Similar to the pairing of medics and knights.
The shooter class is currently subpar in that area too

How about a call for brainstorm on the guild?

If you mean a voice call: I don't do well with on-the-spot brainstorming. I usually take a walk and stew on it for a few days. In this case I might look at other games with thief classes too

No I did not mean voice call. I meant somewhere, a thread or channel or something, where people can submit their ideas

That's something you can do with a suggestion in the suggestions channel, you can ask for brainstorming in the thread attached to the suggestion.

I don't currently want to start organizing brainstorming sessions

This is the Discord thread for brainstorming for the specs of this class:
