Mental Blur Replacement/Buff Ideas

Feedback/Suggestions
#1

Here are my 2 replacement ideas of mental blur and a buff for mental blur

Night Ability 2: Mental Author ~ Edit a player’s logs. You will see your target’s pre existing logs. If the player dies the edited logs that you made will appear instead of normal logs. 2 or 3 uses depending on how OP it is.

Or

Night Ability 2: Conduit Illusion ~ Make 2 players think they are getting conduited. There will be only 1 of person talking in the conduit chat box and you will be able to see their chat. hopefully this makes sense :slight_smile: . 2 use

Or the buff Idea ~ Which I’m still trying to buff

Night Ability 2: Mental Blur ~ Erase a player’s chat history. You will also get a copy of it. 2 use.

So a forge eh? It’s okay the only problem i see if this kind abillity fit to this role. Talking about 2 or 3 uses that wouldn’t make a difference since it highty depend’s on who did you use this.

For what purpose you can use this tho? I’m not sure about making Psychic less credible is way to go.

Umm but where that copy would be? Also it only can useful with people who actually whispering peole very often.

For now, the most reasonable choice it would number one.

Also probably it more fit #feedback since you’re talking about specific abillity.

I have a better idea:

Mental Blur: Erase a player’s deathnote.

Imagine how powerful it would be, a player has been drawing a really cool deathnote all game and then its gone. They would probably be tilted and leave the game.
It could also be used on your own assassin if he was previously a hunter or knight and forgot to change his old deathnote.

I think it fits

Idk I guess I thought it would give classes to the Illusionist.

Prolly in the snoop area

In all seriousness though, I think it should be buffed, but giving the illusionist a copy of the chat wouldn’t be that good since the only important stuff are their whispers. They should buff it so it deletes the player’s chat logs AND death logs. Maybe even private notes but that could be a bit too much.

#6

Deleting everything is fine

#7

I guess you’re right. It depends what do you want erase.

So you want turn Killer class? Hell ya 10/10!

Okay ty

I agree with this and I had also suggested it in another thread. Mental Blur is largely useless now, because it confirms the presence of an illusionist without really hindering the player, because the important information is stored in their logs. Removing their logs on top of their chat logs, will make it a lot more difficult to remember who claimed what again and will actually burden the recipient. This also opens up the possibility of the Illusionist and Assassin working together to kill someone and destroy their logs, limiting what information gets out. That is really powerful and will restore Mental Blur back to usefulness and possibly the primary ability of the Illusionist, if they do not know a BD investigative.

This will also open up the possible defense of “an illusionist mental blurred me”, for when you feel extra extra lazy as scum and don’t want to bother with logs. Not sure if that is a great thing.

#10

That would be extremely obvious though

See a player get killed with no logs? Prolly Illusionist. I mean it’s not like mental blur isn’t obvious, so it isn’t a big problem.

I’d rather replace it with mental author since it very similar to this but it is not that obvious. I hate mental blur since it is weak and confirming an Illusionist in game

#11

That would be an unbelievable defense prolly kind of like how frame is since that is rare, since only 1 class has that and what are the chances of that class being converted and using mental blur

#12

Really? I have seen plenty of people die with empty logs in my time. Regardless the information that was stored in there is still destroyed. Mental Author is way too much to do for a single night and it is an even stronger snoop that is seriously way more overpowered than what I am suggesting. It also is way less flexible, as it always needs to target whoever Assassin is targeting, which removes agency from the Illusionist and is less fun in that way.

Usually an Illusionist needs to stop claiming Mystic anyways, because when they turn into assassin, they are in trouble, so confirming their presence is really not such a handicap. Regardless, it is still just optional to use this ability, so they do not have to reveal their presence if they have claimed Mystic before, for instance. I would use this on for example an outed observer, because they have heaps of information.

Then they are prob scum or just wrote it down in private notes

That’s just a theory… you will never know unless you test it out

It’s not that OP…

I said if the “person dies” not if an assassin attacked them or not. Example: tell your alch/sorc/evil king bud to kill X, mental author X tonight, if he dies your edited logs will come up

#15

Some people have trouble writing down a single night action in time, but you suggest that the illusionist coordinates with their team, snoops the log of someone (which could be anything), and edits it in such a way to frame someone or protect the Unseen. That is a lot to do.

The illusionist gets a snoop++. It is overpowered. By destroying the logs, the unseen will also lose the information that might be stored in the log, so it does not have all of these benefits that it would have with your version.

Most of the time this will still boil down to working with Assassin. If you are already outing yourself to an alchemist/evil king/sorcerer, you are at a point in the game, where you don’t need to edit logs to save yourself.

#16

You see their existing logs

Again we will never know until it is tested

Would you have all the time to edit it and tell the unseen? I don’t think you could. Also your idea can easily be countered making it still unhelpful. Example: type everything you did before you get mental blurred in private notes, then if you get mental blurred just copy it back in your logs. It can also be countered by many other ways

#17

I agree with that, which is why I think it should remove private notes as well, since people would just copy their logs into their private notes in case they get Mental Blurred. Although now that I think about it, people could just metagame and write them in a text editor as well or something…

#18

Again they could just use paper that is metagaming imo but they could do it there is nothing stopping them from doing that

#19

Using paper in 2018 LUL3D

Also private notes is way too useful as an evil to be removed.
