Apotheosis - A Vanilla+ Class Overhaul

Beskrivning
Premise
Apotheosis is a class overhaul project that looks to reinforce and reimagine class fantasies. By doing so the classes hopefully become more interesting to play and syngergize with. Apotheosis features New Abilities, New Animations, Reimagined Attacks, and a fresh balance pass that loosens up the "overtuned vanilla" feeling while still trying to stay in line with normal challenge progression. All 24 classes have been touched up and reworked. Well all except for Mimic. No images for those classes because I didn't want to spoil you.



Design Principles
A
Viable without a "Specific Build" (Classes can stand on their own and stand even better with any subclass)
B
Fun and Exploitable (Remove limitations and strange class quirks and add new quirks)
C
Match Class Fantasies (Add dashes of lore/realism to how Abilities work)
D
Keep the Challenge (Slightly lower Base Stats to compensate for new gameplay opportunities)
E
No Degenerate Abilities (Modify all instances of Abilities doing - "Same Damage Different Flavor")




Compatibility & Cross-Mod Integration
At this time, I have no plans to implement any cross-mod integrations. This mod SHOULD be compatible with any mod that does not touch or interact with the vanilla classes & animations. Even the debuffs that look to replace things like Bleed are actually brand new and containerized in their own folder. If you're a mod author and need to talk so we can coordinate IDs or such, feel free to get in contact, or just open my mod in Crys Edit yourself. I tried to keep things readable just for situations like this.




Acknowledgements
I've been working with my head down on this mod for 3 months or so. I was unable to playtest every single area, class, interaction, and ability. I 100% expect there to be balance issues. I also expect there to be things I designed in my frenzy that don't play out intuitively at all. And I'm happy to tweak and tune according to community feedback. However I would ask anyone that offers suggestions to consider my design goals and try to avoid knee-jerk reactions to make things more like Vanilla. This is a Vanilla+ mod but it's NOT Vanilla. This mod was made in response to frustrated players that you can find in the Steam Guides and Steam Discussions for this game. So if you find me shooting down your suggestion, please remember that it's not personal.

And ofc it's worth noting that you're free to copy my work, tweak it to your liking and then make an alternate mod. Apotheosis: Tweaks for example. I don't mind things like that.

*Last Note - I'm blown away by the amount of support my little mod has gotten and I'm happy that Apotheosis has found it's way into your load orders! I hope I've even inspired some of you to throw your hat in the ring and give this modding thing a try! Crystal Project is a fantastic platform as all the tools are localized in one singular program. If you've told yourself before that you couldn't do it, try anyways!
Also, I consider this mod to be feature complete. Well, it was feature complete even when I first updated but thanks to super valuable feedback from early players, the mod has been polished up into something I'm rather proud of. I'm not sure what's next, but if Crystal Project ever gets a world/map editor, expect to hear from me again! <3




GOG & Others
Steamworkshopdownloader doesn't work for this game. And I understand that there are players that aren't on Steam but still want to use mods. I've taken the time to make an entry on ModDB for Crystal Project and I've uploaded Apotheosis to there. I might forget to update it (if I update this mod), so if you find the versions mis-matching, please contact me or comment.

Just popping by to mention I finished a full run of the game using this (with the one expansion mod that changes your Witch), and I loved it overall. My Final setup was a Summoner/Wizard, Samurai/Fencer, Ninja/Fencer, and Valkyrie/Devout (devout from another mod), and it was an extremely powerful team.

Just one slightly odd thing: I mastered Warlock and Summoner, but for whatever reason they didn't pop their Steam Achievements. Really minor and I'm not too worried but thought I'd mention it just in case it's this (it might not be).

Regardless, fabulous work.

Hello, I really love your MOD, and I would like to make Chinese localization for it (andsome other excellent mods) then share it with the Chinese community. Unfortunately,it seems that due to limitation of the localization MOD, I cannot create an add-on MOD, but can only edit your MOD contents and release a independent rebuilt localized version. Therefore, I think i should ask for your permission before i starting work:lunar2019piginablanket: TY!

I made a tweaked version here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3299381979
If Phoenix doesn't want me to post it in the comments i'll happily delete it.

Even the first skill change in screenshot screams horribly imbalanced and "make you op", turning a high dmg skill like fire, into higher dmg, shorter cooldown, and an added bonus of 30% more damage for 3 turns is insane. I was hesitant at first since the developer of crystal project worked really hard on fine tuning balance, what new skill changes would do to that balance but now i'm certain that this is a deliberately misleading mod. it is not vanilla+ its and op overhaul.

I think your effort and ideas are good. but your purposeful act of being misleading and click baity is terrible.

not a vanilla plus mod, it's almost deliberately misleading

I really like your ideas, and I appreciate the effort you've put in, but this mod isn't balanced well.
Why do so many abilities scale off so many stats? Why are my cleric's spells scaling off her Attack stat? That's bizarre to me, and it makes weapon choice a little uncomfortable.

Again, you've done a lot of work here and I think that's awesome, but it doesn't work for me personally. Thanks though.

This mod makes you orders of magnitude stronger than vanilla with little to no effort. Not a bad mod if you want to feel overpowered, however if you're looking for something to mix things up while being on the closer side to vanilla, this isn't going to do it for you.

Fantastic mod, thanks for the work you put into it!

Does this disable achievments?
