Insane Wish List

[Red October]

This is your wish list for your insane ideas. Chances are, none of it will get implemented. But what the hell, lets list some of the crazy stuff you thought of for the game, but for one reason or another..didn't list it....

Disclaimer: First person to flame.....is Gay. And if you are Gay....then you're Straight. (Hope I don't get into too much trouble for that one, but if anyone does get severely offended, I'll remove it). This is not a feasability analysis or game physics type of thing. Just random ideas you thought would make the game more interesting.

1) Meteor Shower. Just every once in a while, lets have small metor shower hit the planet. I'm not talking killer planet stuff, just basketball sized stuff that will sent people running for thier lives...or help you out in a fight.

2) Severe wheather. Pea Soup Fog...visibility Zer0. You could be standing right next to an enemy max and not know it. Or a tornado, blizzard, flood, you get the idea.

3) Insane wheather. How about Acid Rain....no not the stuff in LA...I mean if you stand to long in it, it starts to hurt. (I can here it now...Everyone to the Caverns!)

Well I'll just leave off here for now....

[dscytherulez]

I do think the weather should be buffed and mandatory.

It is spelled weather not wheather BTW ;)

[Liquidtide]

Weather, and to a degree foliage, should be manditory Dscytherulez...

BTW haven't seen you in game in a while.

[BIGTROJANMAN]

i think itwould be cool if we had flame thowers but u know every one would get it because u can kill people with in lets say 15 feet radius or if there were animals that could attack u.
:rock:

Yeah foliage "to a degree" would be nice. I would have no problem, but people with lower end systems might complain.

And the reason you havent seen me on in a while is because I'm building my other chars up. My NC is already high enough. I come on my NC every now and again, but mostly play TR on EC servers now. You might be fighting against me and not even know it :)

[Liquidtide]

PorkFryer, your relevance level in these threads is simply amazing.

[Tssha]

I love your ideas Red October. Some random death and destruction would be welcome. It might even help the defence. Incoming! Also, love the idea of pea soupers. Though it would make my Lancer pretty useless. Oh well, it'd be fun.

And yea dscytherulez, I think the weather needs a buff. Doesn't have much of an effect, though it does look pretty. I can picture it now, the complaints about it. "The weather's too powerful. Nerf the hailstorm!" :D

:rock:
can u say flamethrower LAG?
MMO Flamethrower = not a good idea.


and bout mandatory weather....my friends comp dies w/ it on

[Gunslanger]

PorkFryer, your relevance level in these threads is simply amazing.
lol

what about "instanced zones" zones where a squad or platoon can go in, and an opposing squad or platoon can go in and do battle, locking other people out. winning the battle would somehow effect your empire positively(kinda like CC, i guess-i don't have CC). this would be fun imo for people who don't like zergs. i dont' like zergs.

[Warborn]

It would be annoying to have to stop what I'm doing (having fun killing people) because of some random weather pattern.

[Gunslanger]

i quit PS for like 3 months. just came back less than 2 weeks ago.

VR dueling. All weapons (other than knives) and armor are available at the terminal, regardless of certs or empire. Once you're geared and ready to fight, you use a /duel Name to challenge someone and then get teleported to a fighting chamber where people can watch your holograms duke it out. You have 3 minutes to finish your match.

i love that idea! just bring the timer up some. one problem i see: alot of people might want to duel more than go fight the enemy! :lol:

[Red October]

A few more...

You've been dueling with another sniper for several hours. You finally get a good bead on him and he doesn't know it. You smile and drool and click the button on your mouse when <k-tunk> Your gun jams. Or you start hacking a tower unbeknownst to the enemy when <blam> Your REK explodes due to some wierd power surge. Of course these things shouldn't happen very often at all, but every once in a great while, it happens.

You run out with your weapon looking for enemy infantry. You find them...only this one is in a reaver and spots you. You realize that you have nowhere to run or hide. Figuring your dead already you start shooting at him...you can almost hear his laughter when <Ka-Boom> The reaver explodes. Congrats, you had the one shot in a million that just happened to hit the enemy in the right spot at the right time when the planets converged and you got a one shot kill. Obviously this should be limited to a random shot on a random server no more than once per day.

Like fish in a barrel you think as your mowing everyone down with your tank. You may be the only friendly with a vehicle, but the enemy doesn't have any either, you laugh at the carnage and watch them scatter like roaches as if someone just turned on the lights....when...<ch-ch-chug-errrrrrrr-grind> Your tank has a very rare mechanical break down...and your behind enemy lines.

Oh yeah, every once in a while I'd like to see that volcano erupt and spew a little magma now and then.

I would love the random weather effects! Getting killed by maybe a bolt of lightning would be awesome (they could make the chance extremly small but still there, maybe a little bit bigger if your on the open plains). Meteor showers could be small like you said and have an explantation such as, the planet's atmosphere is to weak to completely destroy some of the incoming meteors. The earth also gets hit once in awhile by meteors (although very rarly and small). I would like being killed or at least hurt by weather once in awhile, but not always so seveirly or all the time.

[Queensidecastle]

Searhus erupting would just pwn. Too bad its just not possible :(

[Red October]

Searhus erupting would just pwn

And everyone would clear off that continent and spill into the other ones. Sure wouldn't be seeing the broadcasts from CR5's saying "Everyone, head to Searhus". The battles for bases thier would be purely for the insanely brave...yes you captured the base...but its going to go nuetral in about a minute when the lava hits it!

[HawkEye]

i wanna see weather and a day night cycle.

[MrCovertMan]

I want to be able to pull people out of their vehicles
conditions: veh is stationary, and u must be close to where the driver enters the vehicle. there would be a timer on the pulling just like a rek hacking the veh.

This way vanguards would think twice bout tower camping when infils start pulling people out and beating them to death with their own shoes.

[Happy lil Elf]

PorkFryer, your relevance level in these threads is simply amazing.Actually what I find amazing is the irony of the above comment :lol:

Hmmm this could be put into a rather useful idea. Maybe arguments with other outfits could be settled this way or just a way to say HAHA I pwned you. with out the grief points.

I love very one of those ideas.

I especially wish they would make night, actually night. I just want the lights on MAXs and vehicles good for something.

Also, bases should have big flood lights that can be taken out somehow (maybe a seperate generator thats outside or something) all soldiers should get flashlights that you can turn on and off and motion sensors should emit light so that base defenders can get some makeshift light going until they repair their base lights/get NTUs.

Weather that actually effects combat would be cool, but I could see that killing FPS on all lower end systems.

[EarlyDawn]

Yeah, that'd be awesome. Some real "Alien" Style scenarios if cloakers got it. Flashlight beams darting about, motion sensors going crazy... heh heh.

[Veteran]

I'd like trade-routes and economic development so that the military forces would have something to foster and protect. Would also add appeal for a huge sector of gamers that currently have no interest in PS.

[Dharkbayne]

That'd be cool, if say, a certain line was cut off, you can't get any new MAXes, or certain types of vehicles,

[UncleDynamite]

The ability to cut off a critical connection from the generator to the lighting system. When cut, the entire base plummets into complete darkness, reducing visibility to essentially nil. With that, add flashlights to the assault rifle weapons. Seems like this would be the best alternative to night.

Actually, I'd like to see all sorts of modifications to the MA weapons, not just flashlights. Laser sights, extended magazines, forward grips (for lower COF bloom), silencers, bipods, and all the other ideas that people have said before me. These addons would be exclusive to MA weapons and maybe pistols. By excluding HA from these treats, MA would rocket back into importance. HA might have the power, but MA would now have the customization and versatility.

[Otherick]

carrying downed comrades, stretchers would be awesome, seeing as this guys in the open, your an Adv.Medic instead of standing in the open to revive this guy, you plob him on your back or on a empire specific strecther all would require 1 person because thier motor operated so all you have to do is stand at the back and steer it like a bike, counts as a vehicle

VS- hovers so is faster then the others

TR- can carry more then 1 person

NC- Has the most armour

:lol: I just :love: this idea! They have to make a animation showing the hacker pulling random pieces of armour from the victim before beating him/her to death with it. :lol:

[Happy lil Elf]

Just a wild guess but one would assume a hatch on a tank has some sort of locking mechanism ;)

[BIGTROJANMAN]

hey vashthestamped its called an "insane wish list" yeah there might be lag but if there wasnt it would be cool to have. plus i know they will never add a flamthower in the game. thats why its a wish list.

[Fragmatic]

i think grief shud be taken off inside buildings cus ppl always run in my fire in zergs also y r we on american forums lol this is the only gd site tho. think i'll be kicked off for spammin

<bastard grumpiness>

Just for you PorkFryer (And you best not be the REAL Greg Hjertager)

1. lrn hw to speel, vls r missin
2. OMFG ITS AMERICAN ??S?!?�?!$
3. pst relvent cmments

In English, for the rest of us, referring to this guy

1. Learn how to spell
2. Yes, the site is American, so? There is a forum for Werner players like myself, and there are also many non-American players/people on these forums, such as myself.
3. Post relevent comments - If you get too much grief, then learn to control your fire, you can't go and blame others for your actions.

Sorry for the flaming, but things like this just ruin threads.

</bastard grumpiness>

[JakeLogan]

My Wish List is for Pork to go away. I know I'm being a dick but his stupid ass posts. not learning to use the edit button, And his tendencies to post things not even related to the thread has pushed me over the edge.

"Welcome to A base with no generator - A cloakers wet dream"



Actually, Darklight could double as a flashlight in those situations, since it does change ones perceptions.

[ObnoxiousFrog]

Weather would be nice if it varied by the actual storm, ala:

Rain: Green level: No problems
Yellow level: Visibility dampened
Orange level: Visibility cut in half, open-top vehicles malfunction, radar over bases can relay false enemy locations.
Red level: Radar over bases taken out, severely low visibility, darkness (if true night is implemented), drawn weapons malfunction on a 1/10 shot basis, all open top vehicles are rendered useless if stationary for over 10 seconds.


Snow: Green level: No problems
Yellow level: Visibility cut in half
Orange level: Hail falls from the sky, doing random damage to soldiers left out in the open, visibility cut to 15% without the aid of headlights, darkness.
Red Level: Visibility rendered to "hand in front of your face" level (making battles a matter of stealth vs. radar tag), severe hail, any vehicle left stationary for more than a minute is rendered incapacitated.


Sand: Green level: No problems
Yellow level: Radar at facilities will blink on and off, cut visibility
Orange level: Sand slowly damages armor and eventually health, aircraft unusable, visibility at 25%
Red level: Sand devestates unsheilded infantry, visibility reduced to 15%, radar save motion sensors is totally gone.

lol, that would be cool, but red level storms would have to be rare, or people might get tired of huddling inside towers because the battle got called on account of rain. :p

[Dharkbayne]

erm , wouldn't Motion sensors kinda, not work atall? Sand moves also. :P

Ok, that's it. I alluded to it before, now you get the blunt version. Sadly since you made the above post, Frag, this is going to seem to be mostly aimed at you but it's not intended to be.

Here is what Pork posted:Who else wants a reset cert button? so u dont hav to wait like a week to get all ur certs bk to try sumthing new?Tide made a comment about him never staying on topic. Guess what, Tide? His post was on topic. The title of the thread is "Insane Wish list". He posts something he'd like to see in the game (and personally I wouldn't mind much either) and he gets flamed for it. Makes a lot of fucking sense, huh? Wait, no it doesn't.

He then had a slight side conversation with Gunslanger and while it was off topic it's not any worse than I've seen many many other people do to a thread (COUGHSkeeqyandUltravioletCOUGH).

He then posts:i think grief shud be taken off inside buildings cus ppl always run in my fire in zergs also y r we on american forums lol this is the only gd site tho. think i'll be kicked off for spammin
Now while, granted, it's not a good idea it's still something he'd like to see in game hence very relevant to a wishlist thread which, again in case anyone has forgotten, this is.

Then he postsi wanna see tv a new reports of whats happenin featurin the marsman! [and] iw ant to be able to get outta my mag while the gunner is shootin without dyinNow the first one, again, isn't a stellar idea but the second one (if that is indeed an issue, been a long time since I drove a Mag) would be something I assume he's not alone in wishing for.


Now I'll be the first to say, his posts are horrific as far as grammar go. I don't take issue with you calling him out on that because you're more than justified. Even though I try to give people who don't have English as their first language a little more slack I still can't find it to be a suitable excuse for the bad attempts at communicating he's demonstrated. I'd have been the first one to call him on it if it hadn't already been done so many times before.

I also know he has been horrible in other threads for posting seemingly random off topic posts that make absolutely no sense at all and if you want to call him out on that by all means go for it and I'll wholeheartedly approve and even cheer you on.

But for christ's sake do it in a thread where he does it.

Do you see how stupidly hypocritical it is to make an off topic post about someone calling him down about how he's always off topic in a thread where he actually stayed on topic? I mean, jesus people. What amazes me, Frag, is that you actually used an example where his comment was completely on topic. I'll agree with you it's a bad idea, but bad or not it's completely on topic for the conversation perhaps even more so than his origial post since the title is "Insane Wish List". I mean, you could have at least gone after the side conversation and then your flame would have had some semblance of credibility.

If you're going to try and flame people for doing stupid things don't flame them in places where your flame has absolutely no relevance, it makes you look like a fucking retard.

Ugh.

I do appologize. I know that this hasn't been a very nice post but the irrelevant off topic flames on Pork were uncalled for in this case. This is probably the result of a bigger trend that's been slowly bringing me to a boil for awhile now. The whole carrying of grudges by some people through thread after thread for certain members is begginning to try my nerves a little bit. Try find some new targets, preferably ones that can fight back. At least then maybe it would moderately entertaining.
