[Submitted] Titans and the Sweetstone TF

[Telibrus]

Howdy hoi there neighbors. Loved CoC1 while it was still going through development and am loving the work being done on CoC2, so I thought I'd try my hand at writing a TF item, and along the way I figured I may as well write up an enemy for it to drop from. Getting this thrown together has brought a few other ideas to mind as to something to do with these Titans as well but I'll hold up on getting my hopes up for now, and probobly if this gets accepted start digging into those ideas. For now though, here's the doc for the TF and Encounter!

I get that Warframe is a good game but can you rewrite this to not shamelessly steal from that game?

The problem I have with that is the way it fights and the fact you use the term eidolon. There's other ways you could have said it - such as a stone statue - that would have fit the image. Slapping Titan before the world eidolon doesn't really hide the similarities.

Even then, it's clear this is something you made without looking into the game itself much when making. None of this stuff matches the standards/required information for things like the TF. I'd recommend you take an effort to communicating before you start slapping something together haphazardly.

The Eidolon bit was actually the post-concept addition, the thought being that this is more of an empty shell/necromantic corpse of the true Titans (as a race of people) animated by the fragment of the soul that is left after death that is mentioned in the design doc. I'm not even super commited to the name, it being more the best association device I could think of when writing it up. Though on that end I didn't really think about the assosiation link people might connect to Warframe, it's not how it came to my mind; Just been on a Grecian turn myself lately.

As far as the TF stuff, there just isn't a ton that can be pointed to as far as realized, implemented TFs in this incarnation yet, the only readily referable material being the appearance tab and the Fox Berry transformation text.

Also, because I'm bad at communication: I'm not lashing back with this. I'm just putting out my reasoning. Please, correct me wherever I'm wrong. I'd like this to be a good work, not a passable/shit one. Need all the critiquing I can get TBH.

Have you read this forum discussion yet?- https://forum.fenoxo.com/threads/transformation-writing-for-coc2.15026/

This reads like a transformative in the TiTS, and CoC2 is using different systems. I'd also check out the other stickied posts and see if any of them better explain combat mechanics as well.

Ah, yeah I did though I forgot to list it. I read through all the stickys and attached materials before even starting on the doc. It's why I seperated the TF changes into their affected zones.
