Town of Salem: The Coven

[orangeandblack5]

So why hide it?

so that when it eventually shows up to the five people playing it will be a confusing mess /s

no but for reals did nobody learn from those 360 era shooter games with dlc maps where it proceeded to just split the community and kill the game more

Thank you

I don't really play games with DLC, so I am just taking the words of others on the community splitting. Maybe give these game modes a play time requirement or something, so people will be rewarded to keep playing more? It has potential to do good cash wise as well. Just a thought.

I wonder when they decided to make it a DLC instead of just an update.

For single player games like Zelda, it makes sense because you're expanding what you've created. But in strictly multiplayer games where there are paywalls for certain modes, you'll see a divide in the players: those who want to pay for the new stuff and those who don't. And it kills those games.

is the ptr going to be opened to everyone or just the ones that bought the expansion cause if so then that would suck alot.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

what

Assuming we've pretty much just heard about this I don't think many people have paid for it yet. (By that I mean nobody has)

[testaccount1234]

I want to buy it but the problem is if enough people are going to buy the DLC

[mdb1023]

Shapeshifter I saw you browsing this forum. Please tell the devs that charging for this is a terrible idea.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

Why revert the Arsonist?

Because it was balanced people just sucked at it. And since you hate RNG it's second douse passive is hinged on RNG.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

Ok why are all these roles so ungodly unbalances

[HereThereEverywhere]

Because if the Devs could make balanced roles they would.

No I'm 99% sure they just ripped the worst role ideas from Role Ideas because i remember seeing a few of the non-Coven ones


Also pray tell why are we makibg the witch a GF_only a problem if mafia is not a thing in VIP)

[cmitc1]

tbh, I think I would prefer to not see a majority of these roles

[AnaTheBloodedge]

So if i pay for the online version, and pay foull price for the steam version, can I only play the coven expansion pack on steam??

[marbotai]

It would be nice if you could buy this expansion with Town Points, because I have over $20 in TP from funding the ToS Card Game. I'll gladly pay in cash though. The new roles sound great!

[JazzMusicStops]

Oh damn this might be the thing that gets me into TOS again

Plague Bearer reminds me of my Plague Doctor, me likey

Also another Neutral Benign is :ok_hand:

This seems good

[laijunyo]

Wait so how do we get the roles? Do we pay for it? And is it available on steam only?

[MreowMreow]

A lot of roles are OP, but it's hard to say anything until fully tested. I'm not going to complain because I could wake up tomorrow and it would just be another day of no new roles or updates coming to the game or I could be thankful this is even happening. I will probably hold out on paying for this until I know a lot of people who bought it or so forth, personally. It's a very secluded feeling to know it'll only be played with those who have paid, but I know it'll work out okay and a lot of the people who do purchase this are not gamethrowers or lobby spammers, etc.

I hope they decide to make a few new roles for the free version after this, otherwise they may lose the interest of those who can not pay. (Though, seriously if you can't afford $10...get off the internet).

I completely agree with what you are saying, especially the last few sentences.

Reviews or whatever I guess:
Spoiler: Hex Master: Very interesting, a role you need to get rid of without even knowing it is there
Poisoner: Nice
Potion Master: A JOAT role in ToS is good
Medusa: This seems very powerful, hope the ability is limited like the Veteran or this role could curbstomp
Necromancer: Pretty good
Coven Leader: This wasn't the buff I admittedly wanted Witch to have but a buff is a buff
The faction as a whole: I hope this won't exist alongside Mafia, except perhaps in All Any, as ToS doesn't really have enough slots for a Multiball
The Necronomicon thingy: Interesting, hope the Coven are told who has it and it's not a secret

Crusader: DEUS VULT! Admittedly the RNG is a little annoying, but it's about time we had protection against Blackmailers and whatnot
Tracker: I only wish this was replacing Spy :c
Trapper: I like
Psychic: When it says "three roles" does it mean 3 roles currently in the game or 3 players' names because either way this is powerful my god
The faction as a whole: Solid, with the slight exception of Crusader

Ambusher: Interesting, I assume this doesn't promote to Mafioso, which would be good, I'd still prefer Mafia Tactical but more Mafia Killing is good,
also it can fakeclaim Crusader I guess
Hypnotist: Ayy, it's Prankster/Drug Dealer, congrats (Guzame + Invenio)/Kirize
The faction as a whole: Not much, but pretty good

Guardian Angel: A reverse executioner has been suggested for a while now and I can definitely see this working, plus it adds more variety to NB which is nice
Pirate: [insert obligatory lazytown meme], honestly, this seems a little forced, and definately seems like the role that would potentially need the most tweaks, winning two games of Rock Paper Scissors doesn't seem like a difficult wincon, however it makes Vampire less likely to appear in NC so that's okay with me
Plaguebearer/Pestilence: I prefer my Plague Doctor, but this still seems cool
Mystery NK: I can't really say anything about this
The faction as a whole: Possibly the very definition of a mixed bag

Gamemodes: Seem nice, except VIP mode which I can see getting infuriating
Two questions:
1. How is the Necronomicon distributed/how do it work?
2. What are the Coven subalignments?

[xUltiix]

This should be unlocked at 1k games or ~5000 town points as an alternative to $10
I dont mind paying $10 and if it stays that way I would still buy it but the division of the community can be solved by allowing it to be purchased for ingame currency too

[triangularbrick]

I have to learn 15 new roles :-;

They all come out at the same update.
I'm screwed.

A couple roles are similar to ones in the game, like Medusa is similar to Janitor.

Also Guardian Angel is going to be so fun to play!
with its limited heals :/

This isn't what I was hoping for.
Maybe release the new alignment roles and then in the next update release the other roles,
ew.
