New Years Special DM Suggestions

SPOILER WARNING

This article is discussing key elements of the Doctor Who New Years Special. If you do not want to see spoilers, don’t read the article. You have been warned.

 

Hey all,

 

STOP! Yes - you who ignored my spoiler warning! Read the spoiler warning! Now continue if you dare...

 

Last Friday saw the release of the Doctor Who New Years Special and I personally loved it. Super fun and lots of exciting moments. 

 

While watching it I couldn’t stop going “They could add this to DM!!!” so I thought I’d share some of my ideas here and then you should all spam SWDTeam with this post until they add it.

 

Open the spoiler to read the article!

New Daleks!

 

The key enemy of the episode are the new Daleks. Now they change a lot throughout the episode so I’ll talk about a few different variants.

 

Blue Eyed Daleks

 

In the episode these are the Daleks without kaleds inside of them which are designed to be used to stop rioters.

 

I envision these to be very similar to the wolf mob already in minecraft. Yes this means being able to tame a Dalek. This might sound insane but in the episode they are supposed to protect the police, so I think it makes sense that they could protect the player. The Daleks will only attack if the owner attacks the target or the target attacks the owner or the target attacks the Dalek. Their weapons should be a water gun, which can give the target slowness, and tear gas which gives the target blindness. They should not cause damage to the target, only give them these status effects. 

 

But how will you tame them? And where will you find them?

 

Well simple...

 

3D Printed Daleks

 

As a computer nerd, this was one of the highlights of the episode in my opinion. Being able to 3D print a Dalek is hilarious. 

 

I think players should be able to craft a 3D Printer which can be used to build the blue eyed Daleks. Once built they will be instantly tamed by the creator. They will have to be quite expensive.

 

This would just be such a cool feature, and adds a whole new element to Dalek mod. Imagine going to skaro and fighting Daleks, with your own Daleks!!

 

But if I’ve talked about blue eyed Daleks, then I must talk about...

 

Red Eyed Daleks

 

Now these are gonna be fun. These are the blue eyed Daleks which contain kaleds inside them. They will be naturally spawning Daleks and attack players, like normal DM Daleks, however - they should be able to fly. In my opinion their coolest ability was being able to fly, so it should definitely be added into DM. It’d also make them different to all other Daleks in the mod.

 

One key feature as well is that red eyed Daleks should fight all other Daleks in the mod since they are “impure”. This could be hilarious on skaro. Just imagine the dalek wars. Two specific details are they shouldn’t fight blue eyed ones since they aren’t “impure” and they shouldn’t kill PFD because that’d be sad :(.

 

Now the whole plan is coming together just bare with me here. Now I think when you kill all different types of Daleks now, they should sometimes drop...

 

Kaled Cells

 

Note: Initial idea name was kaled chunks but.. ew.

 

In the episode kaled cells are used to build a kaled, which takes control of the blue eyed Daleks. *see where the idea is going yet?*

 

When Daleks very rarely drop kaled cells (e.g. 1/40 chance), you can use 9 of them in a crafting table to craft a....

 

Kaled!

 

Yes a new mob to DM! Once crafted you will have them as a spawn item. 

 

Once spawned they will try to attack you. They should be quite strong and cause blindness, to simulate the mind control abilities.

 

However if you have a blue eyed Dalek, the kaled will lock onto it and take control of it making it a red eyed dalek! *insert audible gasps here*. This red eyed Dalek will try to kill you.

 

We are almost there!

 

Now why would you want to craft a kaled then? Well...

 

To attack other Daleks!

 

Imagine going into a Dalek ship and there are a massive amount of Daleks inside. Rather than attacking them yourself, you should bring your blue eyed Daleks and spawn kaled to take control of them, making them red eyed Daleks. These red eyed Daleks will then start attacking the other Daleks!!

 

To make this happen, red eyed Daleks would need to prioritise attacking other Daleks but that makes sense anyway since normal Daleks are a bigger threat. Red eyed Daleks also would need to be more powerful than standard Daleks in my opinion, to balance out the battles. 

 

And we are there! Kinda..

 

That’s all my main ideas for the Daleks but just a few other silly ideas:

 

Kaled container

A glass container where you can keep a kaled. C’mon who wouldn’t want that!

 

House Exterior

Also a need. That house exterior was hilarious, so I’d love it to be in DM.

 

Prison Suits

Just a fun aesthetic item to help with roleplays!

 

Prisons

We saw in the episode these prison cells that could store what seems all Dalek monsters including, Daleks, weeping angels and the silence! Oh and don’t forget a PTING! Also when are Ptings coming to Dalek mod? This is vital stuff SWDTeam. Imagine being able to have a prison cell where you can store mobs in your houses. Maybe you’d have to attach a fuel device and if you don’t keep it fuelled the mobs can escape?

 

Ok I think I’m done.

 

Hope you enjoyed this article! Honestly I loved writing it. I might have to make this a regular feature. Let me know what you think below!

 

See you next week,

Ben

Hi Ben1Ben1, I also loved the last episode! I'll tell you what I personally think about your ideas in the hidden section.

 

Smelli spoilers underneath!!!

 

Show content

-I love the idea of the blue eyed Daleks being "tamed". It's basically a Dalek version of K-9 except it doesnt hurt mobs, so I think it should be possible to add that into the mod;

 

-I'm also a fan of the 3D printer item idea. Maybe it could even be used to craft some powerful firearm or to repair them! But as you said it should be expensive because it could be OP. (I'm not really sure if you meant the 3D printer item to be in the recipe of the blue eyed Dalek, or if it would be used as a block you can place to then create Daleks with other stuff);

 

-About the red eyed Daleks, I feel like they're gonna get added into the mod at some point, since they're just another type of Daleks, it shouldn't be a problem. I'm not entirely sure about the flying ability (sorry by the way, I'm guessing it was one of the main reason you wanted them in the mod). I'm not saying I'm against this concept at all, though... We just need to think of a way not to make them too OP if they fly. Also, them wanting to fight other Daleks is a cool idea and I think it should be possible to implant that feature;

 

-I like the idea of them dropping a rare item like Kaled Cells to be able to craft a Kaled. (Kaled is the name of the squid creature inside, right?) I think it's about time to get a armourless Dalek in the mod;

 

-I don't really have anything to say about the concept of Dalek Battles except it sounds cool and epic. Again, I think it should be possible;

 

-The Kaled Container could be a cool expensive decorative block. (kind of like the visualiser);

 

-YES TO THE HOUSE EXTERIOR!!!! I'm simping real hard for exteriors that aren't just police boxes (even though police boxes are awesome, don't get me wrong);

 

-The prison suit could be composed of only the torso and the legs, and offer no defence boost whatsoever (like the hats or bowties);

 

-The prison cell idea is cool, but we'll have to think of a way to "capture" the monsters;

 

 

OK that's all! I hope my response was helpful! :D
