LeoRabbit99 360 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Not sure where to post this so for the time being, it'll be posted here. Anyway...Bryophites. Bryophites are cool plant-like humanoids that use to be playable. I've read up on their lore and they're interesting and my character could very well be heading in the direction of becoming one, only they're unplayable. I didn't see anything wrong with them and I'm not sure why they were removed from playable-status but if you have a problem with them, let me know down below in the comments, I'm open to change. I'll personally rewrite their lore to fit better. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avacyn 1712 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Bryophites were shelved due to a number of reasons, and the most persistent ones that keep them shelved are-- 1. Poor writing quality 2. Incompatibility/inconsistencies with current lore They would need almost a complete overhaul, starting from the concept up, to be actively playable again.

Avacyn 1712 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Just now, Jaeden said: When you say concept up, you mean the initial design of 'plant people' isn't bad - though everything else like their origins, 'abilities', etc etc would need rework? Because I wouldn't mind giving it a shot. I probably wouldn't call them byrophites though, I never really liked the name. Though I'm just curious regardless! 0 "Plant people" isn't a bad concept at all. I'll just be specific-- The idea that a plant is somehow capable of devouring a body and then claiming and hosting a living soul without it being tainted, corrupted, or warped in any way has been unanimously agreed among the team to be ridiculous.

ski_king3 0 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Given that there are current bryophites who are still played (due to grandfathering in), in my opinion it would probably be best to keep the name the same. In my opinion, anyways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WuHanXianShi14 0 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Bryophites were shelfed mainly for being a pretty mediocre piece of lore compared to the many other lore creatures which filled its naturey niche I believe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodEmperorFlam 3447 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Dryads =/= bryophites. That being said, there is a rewrite in the works, I've just been focusing on another project first. I think I can tentatively say that we will be able to submit it sometime next weekend, if not sooner depending on the main writer's time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe two of them can coexist, although maybe implement a few major differences. I also like how Bryophites are just plants undergoing their basic natural processes.
