Does this mean Consort needs tools, if Medium, Jailor, Transporter, Veteran, Escort, Spy, Mayor, are the only town roles left?

No - it doesn’t, part of being a role, is literally in the word itself. Fulfilling a role, duty, or obligation. Mafia is offensive, and so having a roles that specialize is mostly acceptable. If they can no longer specialize, they’ve either fulfilled their duty, or weren’t needed to begin with.

This is basically the same as claiming Town Killing should be able to do other things because town can lynch people.

Belatedly, I want to chime in to agree with what others have said - this is the wrong Framer buff. It needs something to let it work against other TIs - this problem is especially obvious in Coven, where Sheriffs and Investigators are more rare. On top of this, Investigators are probably already one of the weaker TIs in Coven, and this weakens them further, which they don't need.

I've posted several suggestions: Here, here, here, and here. Out of those I think the combination of suggestions in the first one is best. The ability to fool Lookouts, Trackers, and Psychics was already mentioned above, so I'll emphasize one other thing from that post I think would be cool:

If the Framer's target is killed by non-mafia means or lynched the next day, they show as a Framer in the graveyard (letting Framers or other maf claim Sheriff, lynching their target.) Alternatively, the target could show as Mafioso; there are advantages and disadvantages to each option. A third option would be to let the Framer choose what role they're framing as, which opens up way more strategic doors and possibilities but is a lot more complex.

This is a logical extension of the Framer's existing capabilities, and allows them to frame people in a way that matters even when there are no TIs. It lets the Mafia make aggressive accusations against a framed town member, then get "vindicated" by the results - or write a believable town will to make an actual TI who accuses and gets you lynched you look like a framer. It allows you to "confirm" yourself by catching mafia, or it makes confirmation via catching Mafia a bit less reliable.

The "non-mafia death" restriction makes them clearly distinct from the Janitor (and they also don't hide wills), but they can still serve an important role in opening up claimspace by making a dead townie's role less certain. It's more difficult for them than for a Janitor (since you can't just accomplish it by targeting the same person as the Mafioso, you have to either predict who will die to non-Mafia deaths, or get someone lynched; plus, since the will is still shown, the town might not buy it), but of course they do other stuff too and have unlimited visits.

To make sure that everyone is up to date on the conversation, the permanent frames are likely not the thing we are leaning towards. Make sure to read through the thread if you can before posting your opinion as our strategy for this buff is evolving with the conversation.

Recommendation:

Put something stating that in the topic post.

Overhaul/Role by Dragonclaw66!

Thank you for reading, looking forward to the next developer update. ~TG

If you want Framer to have a two selection night menu then this buff is going to be postponed until the Unity port is done which will likely be somewhere around February. Your buff also wants to get rid of Disguiser and combine them into one role. It's just too much right now and I really don't know how I feel about removing a role.

Actually, I don’t care about the merging the Disguiser with my Framer overhaul (nor does anybody else). I just haven’t edited it out because the thread is locked (and I haven’t requested an unlock because it’s such a small detail). You can ignore that part of it. The rolecard on Parallax’s post is how it should be.

Well, I think an overhaul for Disguiser could suffice. TG has that covered as well, would that be a point of interest?

Note:
Removal of Disguiser isn’t necessary.

I would prefer to buff both the Framer and Disguiser separately instead of combining them into one role.

Hm... Let's see. Alright, I think I can come up with one, but it'll make them a bit... weird.

This is chat manipulation and not all that useful without a blackmailer, and can also really fuck up the trial system. but hey, its a thing

Achilles wrote:I would prefer to buff both the Framer and Disguiser separately instead of combining them into one role.

Yeah that's fair

At the TG we just stole our Framer from that original idea, without also taking the Disguiser.

We suggest ToS does the same, basically.

Achilles wrote:I would prefer to buff both the Framer and Disguiser separately instead of combining them into one role.

Don’t worry, the overhaul does not require Disguiser to be removed or combined with Frsner in any way, and the TG and others are also against removing roles from the game in any shape or form since we are aware of the troubles when it comes to role removal from Shape.

The TG therefore has designed a suitable overhaul for the Disguiser instead rather than removal; if you are curious then it would be our pleasure to show you.

It’s hard to take your suggestions seriously when you say every role in the game needs fixed. If things were that bad no one would play. It sounds like you won’t be happy until I redesign the entire game to your liking.

I'm not saying that every role requires a major change, but many do [need/could receive] some small ones (I think this is what Basic was saying). The Sheriff should have evils grouped into one "suspicious" result so that Neutral Killings can claim framed in some scenarios, the immunity message that any attacking role would receive (along with no result during a heal or Witch autovest) should be changed to a generic "you were unable to kill your target" so that evils can claim healed when attacked, etc. These things aren't major, but they do change the game for the better; the Town roles are nerfed, but only slightly. Obviously, these are very small and aren't necessary or needed ASAP, but they would help.

I’m talking about competitive only and you are taking things in a general stance. Additionally, many changes are minor and don’t need to exist. They only make it better but are not necessary. And an unbalanced game has nothing to do with the amount of players in other modes excluding the competitive ones. But people still play the competitive modes for other reasons, but it could have much higher success if it was actually more focused on. My personal feelings don’t have anything to do with how I feel about the game’s current balance stance.

What I was trying to say was that there are many other roles or mechanics that can be improved and not just Framer. And the reason I implied that other changes could be made, because you said that the TG Framer could not be implemented ‘till Unity, because it required Framer to be made into a two button role and that’s why I started looking into other options.

When TG suggested Dragonclaw’s Framer rework, specifically said that a part of it you focused on the thread and some Disguiser part which didn’t matter at all mostly avoiding the real thing. And now this.

Fair enough. I think the best course of action is to put Framer on the back burner and start discussion on what other roles are in need of some love and can hopefully be fixed without a bunch of client changes.

One thing at a time.

Also, I feel that the Framer and Disguiser are higher priority. There are balance issues with some of the ones you mentioned, but they're (comparatively) minor. All those roles work and currently serve a purpose. Framers and Disguisers, on the other hand, feel so weak that they're completely unfun to play.

For Framer, I still feel my old suggestion of "show up as Mafioso in the graveyard if you die to non-mafia that night or if you get lynched the next day" is ideal. It's straightforward, serves as a logical extension of the Framer's purpose, and would allow them to accomplish something when there are no TIs (so they no longer rely on other roles to have a purpose.)

I'd combine this with a few other things, like fooling Trackers or Lookouts (make the target seem like an extra visit to whoever the Mafia Killer visits), Psychics (make the target count as evil), etc. But overall I don't feel a Framer fix is that hard. There's some more fancy stuff that could be done with extra buttons or the like, but this alone would make them much more valuable.

Change the current Alignment Cop to Guilty/Innocent Cop

What this means is that Sheriff only gets Suspicious/Not Suspicious, this isn’t a nerf to the Sheriff but more so of a buff to Neutral Killings allowing them to claim framed due to being paired with Mafia.

This would be a really change, small and easily implementable change.


But there’s also Blackmailer who could use a change. Replacing the blackmail ability with Lookout’s identical ability and keeping the ability to read whispers.

This would have a great affect on the meta, because Lookouts are always proven and provide so much info to the Town and Blackmailer’s current ability is very toxic and useless.


There’s also many other changes that could be done but I feel like these are the most simple and logical ones.

This would be a really change, small and easily implementable change.

The problem with the Framer isn't its interaction with the Sheriff. The problem is that it has no interaction with anything but the Sheriff and the Investigator, which makes it extremely unlikely that it will actually accomplish anything -and is sometimes utterly useless because the investigatives are lookouts and spies. (With spies, every investigator visit is actively counterproductive, at least at the moment.)

The change isn’t meant for Framer, although it affects it. I know about this, you don’t need to tell me.

there is plently of people asking for a retri nerf, i am one of them.

The Sheriff change is a pretty easy server only change (and a little client XML) if there is a lot of agreement on that.
