If we're talking about the Elements and not temperature, Ice is Water + Air.

Are in fact elements.

Guys, what the fuck is snow?

Earth attacks are basically just physical attacks

Attacking with ice would be a physical attack, but given its low temperature (and given the fact its just solified water) you can also attribute the element Water to it

Don't think of Earth as merely "lol dust"

>Game has elemental spells

Freeze punk. Ice is a pretty nice type don't you think? No need to be so cold, just chill out and accept the truth. Without ice, you'd be left out in the cold with a boring ass game. Just cool off and re-evaluate your options, condense it into something more coherent, and stay frosty out there pal.

Earth is boring. Name some games that go beyond "Earthquake" when it comes to using earth magic, you gay ass nigga. The other sorts of spells have multiple variants and levels, earth just has that one spell.

Second Son had Neon as an element

What was the deal with those circles in this game?

don't forget light

What even was that, just lasers?

i think the circles were supposed to represent different aspects of your unconcious mind

also, even though the story was original the gameplay mechanics were all as generic and boring as possible so of course the dev put in boring generic party members like every other jrpg

all right you nerds. your favorite game has some elements. cool

but does it have Correspondence, Entropy, Forces, Life, Time, Matter, Mind, Spirit AND Prime?

Hello in my imaginary game that doesn't exist there are three elemental spectrums.

You have thermal that ranges from cold to force to heat

you have luminal that ranges from dark to spirit to light

and you have natural that ranges from earth to growth to sky

they have cute rhyming name you see

good job

Is guild wars/2 good? I've seen some pretty cool concept art for Gw2 but i've never played either game/don't play MMO's much in general

hm

I want to make multiplayer online battle arena with the six original Toa from Bionicle. There'd be two teams, the normal heroes, and then the Shadow Toa who are just reskins.

When you kill an enemy, you get their Mask which you can swap to, but your own mask has a special synergy, similar to affinity weapons from Metroid Prime Hunters.

That sounds interesting user

Can you give some examples of how/where traditional elements would plot on that?

Like, where would water be?

Depends on the hardness of the rock/mineral and the velocity/angle of the water, dingus.

water somewhere between growth and sky

That reminds me of Disciples 2. Giants are swinging trees and huge rocks and they count as EARTH. Meaning they can beat a werewolf to death whereas he's immune to weapon (weapon is a type of its own) damage.

I'd give a lot for an avatar show that didn't hold it's punches. I dont mean making the whole thing an edgefest but when waterbenders can turn water into razor-sharp ice at a moment's notice, when earthbenders can toss boulders big enough to crush people at minimum, when firebenders can easily sustain a fire big enough to burn someone alive in seconds, when airbenders can asphyxiate people, the fact that few people ever seem to be seriously injured in the fight seems kind of cheesy.

And that's not even getting into bloodbending, lava/metalbending, or lightning bending.

Guys, we're missing the obvious point. Firebenders can literally create flames from nothing. This even extends to electricity. Why the fuck hasn't anyone enslaved all the firebenders to use them as energy sources? This is genius. I'm a genius.

Wouldn't it be better to go like hydro mage which after specializes to be either ice mage, water mage or steam mage?

lightning should have been given to air because airbending is lame

>elements are lightning, fire, and magic

Familiar of Zero if you dont mind the weebshit aspect of it senpai

GW1 was fucking phenomenal back when it was lively; now it's dead with the only people left being elitists. They've retooled the follower system so you can play the content solo, but IMO playing an MMO solo is kind of depressing.

GW2 is casual as shit. If you have friends to play it with it's cool enough, and I personally like the combat, but there really isn't enough content or frequent enough updates to sustainably "play" it.

It's got a good waifu dress-up aspect to it though.

>chaos is an element in the game

>game has air element
>it's just lightning and shit with one obligatory wind pushback

I remember this one idea someone had for an trpg years ago. The mechanics were simple, but the hook was that you generate these worlds you can travel between. Among things like involvement of gods and presence of magic/tech, the defining trait of the worlds is you pick elemental pairs and make them diametrically opposed. There were example worlds where Darkness opposes Fire, Water opposes Wood, and Metal opposes Time or something like that. It was called something like Infinite/Endless Horizon and I can't find it anywhere.

I don't know. Anyone heard of it?

>Fire + Water makes Steam
>Adding Steam to your spells gives them a straight power boost
I loved Magicka, I just wish there was more useful strategies other than just making a Steam Beam

Because firebenders are also dangerous as shit? especially lightningbenders, who the fuck is going to try their luck against someone who can easily electrocute you?

TLoK did have that one dude working in a power plant because he could bend lightning though.

>wood is to fire what water is to ice
nigga

Sorry, meant what salt water or anti-freeze mixed with water is to ice.

1 and 2 are very different. 1 was like a half MMO, was more focused on builds and team composition. with 2 they just went full MMO, but tried at least to make it a little more active than the average MMO.

You have 5 SECONDS to name a game where the "time" element isn't gay weak shit like "slow them down a bit", "get an extra attack", "stop one enemy for like 5 seconds tops".

Lightning = Ice = Wind > Water > Fire >>>>>>>>>> Earth

I think Lightning Benders literally serve as generators as their day job by Korra

>Cold and Heat are separate elements
What?

>balloon is a spell

And it has dark and light elements

Baten Kaitos has time as an offensive element.

kek not even the game I thought about.

>Balloon is the most powerful fucking spell in the whole goddamn game

>Balloonga is the BEST spell

fuck

You could say the same for light and darkness. Or space and time. or kinetic and electric

I think WoW did it right in that regard. Fireball spells dealt higher initial damage, but had slightly slower cast times, while Frostbolt dealt lower dmg and slowed the enemy just enough for you to cast one more spell - considering that the distance was the same (not sure if they had different max ranges).

>Not maining metal and electricity
It's like you don't even want to be the true emperor, ruling with an iron fist.

Element TD has Dark weak against Light, but Dark is strong against Water and Light is weak to Earth

>game has elemental spells
>the elements are literal elements of the periodic table
What game has done this?

Baiten Kaitos is basically a rock paper scissors fanatic's masturbation fantasy. There's not much distinguishing the different elements aside from fluff and their weaknesses/strengths

>not maining metal and expensive fabrics

It's like you don't want to be the best dictator ruling with a velveted gauntlet.

But it doesn't have to make a real world sense, baka.
It just needs to be an insteresting and flashy mechanic. Something to pull you into the game world and make you think by its rules.

the point still stands that Time is an offensive element in that game.

I'm fine with the aesthetic of being just an "Arcane mage" because that's focusing on pure magical energy but why would I be fine with picking one of the more classical elements over the other.

I guess all I get to do is tag shit with glowing paint.

I always pick arcane because it's got a good mix of damage, support and fuck around spells. The elements usually specialize in only one of these areas.

how many elements in a game is too many? is pokemong-tier too many with what, 18+ now? is it always good to have physical and magical/special/technical attacks associated with elements, or should it be a different setup with physical damage types separate from the elemental ones? the .hack games made elemental a whole sideshow of resistances with too many to choose from and too little opportunity to use them while physical damage was just physical damage, while something pokemon has every attack established as physical or special plus also an element, but the copout "normal" element skews the whole perspective, or you can get more nerdy and look at games with basic bludgeoning vs slashing vs piercing or break that out even more into subtypes

also why the fuck has there never been a game based on the wheel of time power system and its basic fire/water/earth/wind/spirit elements, and is that objectively the best simple set? quest64 knew what was up, too

>Fire
>Ice
>Water
>Lightning
>Dragon

I've always wanted to see a game use a type interaction system based on forces, polarities, and profiles, so you'd have something like physical force vs em radiation or whatever else and combine it with a neutral, positive, or negative application of that force and finally apply it to a target surface with profiles defined by a point, line, area, or volume of damaging force, with power/resource costs and resulting damage to the surface depending on the characteristics of each of those parameters and the natures/resistances of the surface

Good job, heal slut.

Dungeons & Dragons Online has those affixes to some weapons which does that

I mean, I guess it could technically be power creep, but I don't see it that way. I see it as the talented benders in the original series making discoveries with their element that get passed down among the more common benders as society progresses, bending becomes more informal and less wrapped in tradition (so you don't have to sit through a year of meditation and lectures on balance to learn how to make lightning), and there's less social stratification meaning greater access to training for commoners.

I mean, yeah, there are a lot more metal/lightning benders so you could argue that was a way it creeped, but none of them are even half as dangerous as toph/azula were in their prime because they're simply not as skilled with the bending.

The only things I see as power creep are the bloodbenders in S1 (one thing that I've like about avatar is that if you can bend an element, the only limit to your potential is yourself; there's no good reason one family is inherently better at bending an element, one that was created by someone who only taught it to one person who refused to use it). That, and how spirit bending went from "aang is taught how to cut someone's spiritual connection so they can't bend" to "korra blocks a point blank spirit nuke kamehameha like it's a jet of water".

Hell, even lavabending makes sense: bolin is a brute force fighter who can't master the complexities of metalbending, but is strong enough to pressurize earth to the point it becomes molten. It parallels toph learning how to bend metal.

Plus, my original point was the elements themselves are easily lethal. Katara was able to fling razor sharp ice disks with no training beyond what she gathered from a scroll. earthbending soldiers regularly bended boulders bigger than their bodies, or smaller ones at really high speeds. Firebenders suffer from this weird inconsistency where fire is occasionally shown as really dangerous (like in The Deserter), but usually is harmless.

fucking nips

if I ever make a game I will ensure there is a class of katanas and their pinnacle will be the masamune, I've played too many igavanias and shit

They did. It was fire, water, earth, air, aether.

It wasn't until medieval time they added mercury, salt and sulphur to the mix.

Then in the 1700s Antoine Lavoisier came up with a load of actual elements and the periodic table came from there.

What game?

The periodic table is gay. Real elements were more interesting.

Fire magic is so much better than magnesium magic.

Kek

Isn't fire magic in essence oxygen magic

I guess

here I go

Are you saying that there's oxygen in a fusion reaction

>press j to jump

>balloon is the only attack worth using
fixed
fuck DDD

True fire mages conjure up energy out of nothing
Combustion is entry level tier

>posts table of quarks, electrons, and protons

>Nitrogen wizard

I'm assuming we play this on the most well known applications for an element so enjoy your frozen nitrogen

And diffusing fires I guess

>Thunder beats Ice
>Ice beats Fire
>>>Fire beats Thunder

Defend this.

Fire > Venom > Stone >Lightning > Ice > Fire

sounds weird but venom is basically plants, so Fire burns venom which split stone which grounds lightning which shatters ice which douses fire.

electrical fires usually cause circuits to be broken

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_thunderstorm

The fire takes the thunder as it's own.

I also forgot to mention that Soul Sacrifice has a neato thing with elements

>has status effects called "Hell"
>hitting a thing with enough of an element inflicts that Hell on something (re: a stone monster weak to venom will get Venom Hell)
>When Helled, they basically count as that element so if you hit them with the Hell's weakness you do massive amounts of damage and knock them over (using Fire on a Venom Hell'd monster)

>Fire
>Ice
>Thunder
>Air
>Gravity
>Darkness
>Balloon

>when airbenders can asphyxiate people,

This happens in the show.

Thank you for reminding me of that one scene from the Last Airbender movie

I don't even need to post the picture.

GW2 is okay. You kinda need to have friends to play it with or make them in game. It's casual as shit, but it's a massive playground to fuck around with friends while on teamspeak or discord.

I still talk to a few people I played with, had a lot of fun with my guild. Although I don't play it anymore.

>Game has elemental spells
>Fire and Electricity are 2 different elements

Both of you are saying the same thing you retards.

You understand water and ice are literally the same at diferent temperature, right?

fsdfsdf

I'm a legit chemist and you are a fucking idiot. Those are not the elements. Pic related are the elements.

I can see that making sense. The werewolf can't be harmed by manmade objects, unless they're magically infused.

Those elements are so tiny only ants can see them!

Name 5 games that does this.

This meme has gone too far.

How did this shit even start? I swear it mostly exploded when everyone decided they wanted to fuck Mercy, and started to transpose that onto people who played her.

heal sluts were always a thing, Mercy was just the new hotness.

that gives me control over half of the board even if its cancer, Cancermancer if you may

I hope i get a noble gas.

But why?

I've played plenty of MMOs over the years, the healers I ran into were just normal players like everyone else. Actually, one of the best I ever met was a dude with fucking crohn's disease. Like, the opposite of any kind of sexually suggestive person.

Is it an odd fantasy gone meme status? It honestly just confounds me.

Alright, let's do this.

Super roll

The thought process kinda went like this
Healer->doesn't do any damage->meek personality->submissive->cannot stop sucking cocks.

yet most weaknesses and strengths are of the chemical nature. dat physical differences sure do matter

is there such a thing as
Healer->doesn't do any damage->meek personality->submissive->cannot stop sucking his/her tanks cock.
I don't get it why does it always have to be like they are anyones and everyones cumdumpster. (especially when dps is involved)

Here we go

Water didn't sink the titanic, and it doesn't melt with heat because it's aready melted.

The most insecure people are also the most inflammatory. It helps them appease themselves of their sense of unease.

>rename Ice to Cold
Woooow.

isn't it usually easier for most to use one person for that constantly than throwing themselves at everybody at random?

>cold is an element now
ok
then whats the difference between fire and hot?

One burns, the other warms.

Check this 32, its time for fourth reich

okay

If Light and Dark are elements, there is no reason there wouldn't be both Fire and Cold.

I hope it's something not retarded

Ice being an element (cold, really) is absolutely no different from fire (heat) being an element.

Aren't you supposed to be 18 or older to post?

think of an element that you swear is only found in one game

Arcane as it appears in Magicka, since usually Arcane just seems to be multiple elements combined together instead of just some weird red beam.

My point still stands. Ice is frozen water, so... it's water.

>the best armor and weapons are made of diamond

Yeah but that's not the ice defeating the water. That's the freezer defeating the water.

So Ice is weak to Water and Water is weak to Freezer.

Are there any games that have some common elements, but not fire?

blood magic

reminds me of evangelion

At least fire,water,wind,earth makes some sort of sense

It's also harder to pick one basket to put all your eggs in when you're afraid of getting clobbered by a basket full of eggs.

But no, usually the relationship is a dom/sub with the tank, though sluts are just a thing too.

Water is H2O
Ice is H2O

Explain those diferent properties now. The phase state is only one of the properties but that doesn't change that Ice is still Water.

If water beats fire, ice beats fire.

GIVE ME SOMETHING GOOD

Fire means Oxygen in chemistry. The other way to have "fire-like" representation of heat is with Nuclear reactions like the stars.

>Universes fighters have powers based on the elements.
>Main character uses iron.
>An antagonist uses sulfur and is so OP the writers don't know what to do with him so he dies in a retarded way.

"Physical" as in "solid" you retard

Fire, Water and Wind aren't solid, with Earth and Ice being the only solid elements, so even if Ice isn't made of Earth, it has most of its properties, so it should be treated that way

yes

You have to use lava spells against ice, retard!

is there any rpg game with magic system that is not based on elements? (fireball, shock wave, acid mist)

Which compound wizard is ur fav

venom and poison are the exact same thing. It's just the delivery method that gives them one name or the other. Poison must be inhaled, ingested, etc while venom is directly injected into your blood stream.

Glass (Silica or Borax) beats sulfur on real life. Only Fluorhídric ácid can melt glass materials.

If you can create fire, so create energy and excite atoms in a certain area, wouldn't you be able to just create more energy and thus create electricity or plasma?

Earth is for stupid, slow people. Often live in mudhuts farming their whole life.
Water is for women, elves, and fags. Often have healing to drive home the aforementioned point even more. The faggot prancing around in a robe before getting drilled with arrows is definitely water-oriented.
Wind is for hermits, hobos, wanderers, or monks.

Fire is the true alpha element. Immensely destructive, very aggressive, dominant, and gives no fucks. Fuels industry and progress. Fucking destroys every other element, as anyone who has ever been close to a large fire can attest to, large amounts of fire don't need to hit you to burn off your skin and kill you painfully.

But in the end

Earth beats fire
Water beats fire
And a smart wind user would be able to create an air void to extinguish the fire

Air has storms which means lightning, which creates fire.

>lightning, which creates fire.

Only if you have something to burn with the heat of a lightning.

why do fire users are always so linkin park

Also blizzards and cyclones.

you are made of skin and bones and so am i, yet i have a bigger dick and am stronger than you.

explain this?

We have diferent proportions and concentrations of the same atoms in diferent bodies, maybe that's what causes you to be a dick.

Dammit I loved this dumb series.
>R O A to the M I N

>why do fire users are

looks fun

>Earth beats fire
No, for the same amount of energy your thrown rock will kill a person, a fireball will kill an entire group, set fire to anything it hits, while also severely burning anyone near its path. Earth is, if anything, the most vulnerable because while fire isn't very good at burning rock, you have a very hard time defending yourself from the heat.

>Water beats fire
Same issue as earth even if lessened, even if you surround yourself in water, humans can't stand much heat, raising water temperature from 20c to 70c is enough to fuck you up, and it's not a big jump.

>air void
Fire is superheated gas, not the actual chemical process in the burning material, it doesn't need oxygen, if anything a void will just let it avoid dissipating heat better.
>storm
A storm creates lightning by acting like a huge capacitor between clouds and ground, you need water for the clouds, otherwise you can forget any lightning. Even if you pull in nearby clouds, you still have no control over where it strikes.
>blizzards
See above, water.

Literally the only defense earth, water, and airfags have is giving themselves massive advantages. In their minds, fire is just a small fireball at best, while earth/water/air is a massive earthquake/tsunami/cyclone.

Don't forget fire has the best chance at using lightning due to plasma being superconductive.

>Fire is superheated gas, not the actual chemical process in the burning material, it doesn't need oxygen

Guy I have a degree in chemistry. Fire is literally oxygen burning something. When there's no oxigen there's no fire.

A super heated gas is a plasma. That's a whole diferent thing.

Yeah I love all these fireballs that are burning bits of wood thrown at people.

If you want to be pedantic about elements from well before we even had the scientific method, I guess earth either only gets to drag around mud or control the entire planet.

help meeeeee

You can have magic fire but you can't have fire withouth Oxygen. It's not me being pedantic, it's just how fire works. Fire without O2 is like Ice withouth Water...something that can't happen.

>water isn't weak to ice
water types have it way too fucking easy

>Earth is built around being defensive
>Can summon rock golems, walls, turrets, ect

Why aren't American and army the same
