My wish list sort of

[XSSCxRaven]

just a few ideas I got that I wouldn't mind seeing put into the game. Please give you input and maybe Marsman or Hamma will ask about a few of these on the 24th of June ask the devs.

1: Nurf of the Vanu AA max so it doesn't take air down in 2-3 shots.

2: Smoke and Flashbang grenades ( a white screen for a few seconds would work for the flashbang and of course implant reset).

3: Prone position even if just for snipers

4: This one could either be an addition or for elite sniper medal. Gili suits that come with sniper cert or medal that can only be worn when hold not carrying a sniper rifle

5: Small amiunts of EXP for healing and repairing other troops beside your self to increase the number of medic and their support.

6: Cross bones on the mini map so medic can find dead troops easier.

7: Warp gate towers in the caverns for those with out AMS cert and those that die before captureing a cavern base

8: Watch towers that are not respond points just platform through out the conts kind of out in the middle of nowhere for snipers on arriving battles.

9: The ability to import you own logo's for outfits but costs 20,000 outfit points instead of 10,000 for the in game logo's

10: And last but not least, plz bring the night time back into the game and lasts longer than before which I think was like 20 minutes or so, and have it so that the weather last a little longer and effects the game play.

Those are just a few ideas I got and probably other guys might have said it in the past, but i'm not stealing them if you did. Again plz give your imput on these and I will also post them on the offical forums too.

Mine is:

1. Give me back my surge
2. Give me back my triple shot back (old one)
3. Nerf Hawkeye1 so he can't use surge and is stuck in rexo. (for abonding SAVE SURGe protest)

Wuss, its more fun being challanged. While it was fun when one could get like 20+ killspam in a row with a surgile JH, its more fun imo having to work for it a bit. Pshieldgile all the way. :love:

[321]

But I went from like 150-200 kills a day to like 50-100 :(.

[Lartnev]

I only agree with 5 and 6. I don't have experience of 10, but I assume I'd want it.

[Eldanesh]

321, thats what vehicle whoring is for, 100+ kills in an hour or so skeedo/reaver/35mm libbing infantry.

[HawkEye]

LMAO 321. yea its rexoshield now. i have air cav but i kinda suck with it. i swear i spam a full clip into peeps and they still live then i die to the striker missles every TR and there mom has or the overpowerd VS AA max.

[XSSCxRaven]

Plz only use this post to respond to the 1-10 ideas above. If you have your own ideas plz fill free to post them but still give me the you input on the original post first.
Thank You

[Cauldron Borne]

killjoy =p

3,4,5,6,7,9

^I agree w/ those^

[XSSCxRaven]

Well im going to bump this to get more input in hopes that Marsman or Hammma will ask the devs on the 24th.

[Hoza]

1: Nurf of the Vanu AA max so it doesn't take air down in 2-3 shots.

I didn't think that the Starfire was THAT powerfull - but keep in mind that it's the only AA plaform that the VS have as the Lancer isn't effective unless the target is stationary.

2: Smoke and Flashbang grenades ( a white screen for a few seconds would work for the flashbang and of course implant reset).

I like this idea - though the smoke grenade might cause lag issues (If they have to model wind effects etc - they might just go for an expanding cloud however) - might be a nice defence against snipers when on the walls defending a base. Flashbangs sound good but could be uber annoying if spammed so I wouldn't want them in clips of 3, and please please don't let them be used in the Thumper!

3: Prone position even if just for snipers
*shudder* I wouldn't want to play against snipers in the prone position with 12x zoom.. but thats just me. I do seem to recall that the Dev's said this was a definate no no as A) they felt that it would make the snipers too powerful and B) They thought it would slow down the gameplay too much (Which is why they didn't include things like leaning around corners). Can't find any links to back that up and it was months and months ago.. though it is possible it just came out of my imagination :)

4: This one could either be an addition or for elite sniper medal. Gili suits that come with sniper cert or medal that can only be worn when hold not carrying a sniper rifle
No strong feelings either way with this - though it is similar to 3 so some of those arguments might apply.

5: Small amiunts of EXP for healing and repairing other troops beside your self to increase the number of medic and their support.
Would be nice - though possibly exploitable. Think things like this are going to be rewarded via the merit patches though.

6: Cross bones on the mini map so medic can find dead troops easier.
Yes! Agree!

7: Warp gate towers in the caverns for those with out AMS cert and those that die before captureing a cavern base
While this is annoying I think it does encourage teamwork - every squad should have at least 1 AMS driver - on the other hand it might get more people in to the caven's ... I'm going to stick my neck out and say "meh" on this one.

8: Watch towers that are not respond points just platform through out the conts kind of out in the middle of nowhere for snipers on arriving battles.
Again no strong feelings - Though if it was a choice between spending Dev resources on this or on improving the Bunkers around the bases, I'd choose Bunkers everyday!

9: The ability to import you own logo's for outfits but costs 20,000 outfit points instead of 10,000 for the in game logo's
But then everyone would have to download everyone's imported logo - would be nice but impractical I think. Perhaps some of the top outfits could get this as a reward once every 3 months or so...

10: And last but not least, plz bring the night time back into the game and lasts longer than before which I think was like 20 minutes or so, and have it so that the weather last a little longer and effects the game play.
Agree 100%, having a night time that makes different tatics possible or necessary would be superb. Weather effects unfortunately can not have an effect on gameplay unless they became mandatory - which might cripple some of the players with lower spec machines....

[Rayder]

Numbers five and six are good. I don't like the others.

As for night, I personally wouldn't want it unless it was true pitchblack night where we would have dynamic lights, nightvision, laser pointers that worked, etc. But, that's not going to happen in the near future.

[EarlyDawn]

6: Cross bones on the mini map so medic can find dead troops easier.
Currently in game. Dead players are shown as red flashing triangles on the minimap if you're an advanced medic and have your Med App out.

That's the thing, you need to have the App. out.

[Paragon]

I want more empire specific things. Like Empire specific reavers. I myself have mad some renders that are quite nice. i eill show you guys when i get back from vacation

As for your suggestions, i like the nerf VS AA max's.. because they suck. I cant express how much i hate them. It seems that when i strafe a target, or am just minding my own business, and "Missle Lock" pops up on my screen. So, i have to either boost the hell out of there, or fire my shots and hope the missles on steroids dont hit me, then boost the hell out of there. NOT FAIR. it is about 4-5 shots and im dead. Face it. The AA VS max's are WAY overpoweres. The devs need to de-buff the AA maxes, or give the TR a good AA max. I know what i just said here kind of counters what i just said... but we all know that the VS AA maxs are unacceptable. Dont we all think they're awesome enough with the jetpacks?


im crazy, but so is PS... we need more empire specific shit.

[321]

LMAO 321. yea its rexoshield now. i have air cav but i kinda suck with it. i swear i spam a full clip into peeps and they still live then i die to the striker missles every TR and there mom has or the overpowerd VS AA max.

Dude me too maybe if we spam them togeather we have twice the chance to get them :lol:.

And to your ideas I don't think PS needs any changes besides getting the old surge backa and nerfing hawkeye.

[Rbstr]

Why do we need prone position? It not like it acctualy makes anyone harder to see, nobody blends in with the ground anyway, it couldn't make you more accurate as the COF goes all the way down crouching. it just makes counter sniping for bases much harder bcause you have a smaller area to hit, and counter sniper can't prone with the ledge on bases as it is.

I've never thought it would add naythign to the game other than to make winers dissapointed becasue they'er beloved prone, adds nothing at all

[Desperado]

My thoughts:

#1 and what do you propose the VS shoot them down with? the lancer? LOL
#2 my fps hurts enough as it is
#3 no, the last thing we need is sniperside
#4 don't care
#5 that's fine, but BR20 isn't hard to get the old fashioned way
#6 the more adv meds, the better
#7 don't care
#8 don't care
#9 don't care
#10 sounds fun

[FatalLight]

9: The ability to import you own logo's for outfits but costs 20,000 outfit points instead of 10,000 for the in game logo's
Maybe not import ones just like have backgrounds and logos and text u can put in to mix and match.

[StrangeFellow]

now there's an idea

[AltaEgo]

Aye to that.

[Nereid]

I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight, I want good TR MAXs, I want them now, I want them all and I don't care how, carefull what you wish, carefull what you say, carefull what you wish you may regret it, because what you wish you just wont get it.


Seriously I really wish for improved TR MAXs. I can overlook anything else that may be wrong with TR I just want my MAXs. I love MAXs but I hate not being able to use my DC MAX effectively because its LOCKEDOWN TTK is worse then a punisher thats not using its grenades *the unlocked ttk, can you say suppressor with half the accuracy?*. People argue that they shouldn't be as effective as HA, I argue that they should be more effective at close range then MA which right now both the DC and quasar are NOT. *rolls on ground raving* why god of PS why do thou thinkif that AIMAXes *excluding scatmax* should do less damage then medium assault weapons.

May think im whining but thats how I morn the death of the once great TR MAXes(beta).

[Doppler]

Heh 'sfunny to me that the same guys who want emp specific reavers are thje ones that hate AA, coincidence? God forbid you have something that could hurt your precious little flying killing machine.

[Cauldron Borne]

TR MAXs should be > the silly little JH.

I Use the JH to take out TR maxs...Surge down the stairs, get behind the mutha, pull out the AP rounds and hammer away. If the max finally DOES turn around, his guns are so spread out that they can't hit me anyway.

INFACT when I play NC the only way i died to a TR max yet was when i took myself out when i hit him point-blank w/ a deci. (i was already basically dead...)

[XSSCxRaven]

I agree the TR maxs really aren't good ecxept the Burster im happy with it, but I would like to see it so you can reach Altitude hight with it like the NC and VS maxs do, because as the Burster stands now it can't hit Libs and Flt hight lvl.

[Indecisive]

The republic's max's are inferior in every. Single. Damn. Way. There is no advantage. I just dont understand it. I am in SHOCK that the devs would allow this.


I...I just dont get it.

[Hoza]

On the positive side I'd say that a locked down burster is the best AA in the game at close range ( i.e. <100m). No warning "Missile Lock On", just instant pain.

Outside that range, and with regard to the other MAX's, then yes, you're better off with a slingshot and a wad of wet toilet paper...

[Lartnev]

Outside that range, and with regard to the other MAX's, then yes, you're better off with a slingshot and a wad of wet toilet paper...

Not really, it takes skill, luck and practice but you can definately hit targets outside of 100m and still get enough suprise that the pilot doesn't get the chance to hit the afterburners.

The Pounder is the only AV MAX that can hope to hit a target from range, and the arc provides some advantage when laying down fire onto towers or bases. It's not all that bad in corridors like at the back door due to the secondary fire but I wouldn't use it in towers.

The Dual Cycler is the MAX most comparisons are based on I think. I personally find it better unanchored than it is anchored because the induvidual bullets do not deal the damage required for the extra RoF increase to outweigh the disadvantage of being rooted to the spot. It's not a bad MAX and in the right situation it can do very well. But it needs improvement.

[NinjaBob]

About the logo...u should be able to layer different outlines and logos kinda like C&C Renegade's logos. like 1st layer a star or sumthin

[Toneball]

...On the positive side I'd say that a locked down burster is the best AA in the game at close range ( i.e. <100m). No warning "Missile Lock On", just instant pain...

No kidding right, nothing like spotting the reaver camping the top door of a tower, lock down, fire off a clip and drop him before he even pulls up. :D

[XSSCxRaven]

On the other side of things. Any other coments on the original post? Dual Cycler is a good max, but compared to the NC and VS max of it's type it takes alot more to kill something than the NC and VS max does.

[Cauldron Borne]

VS and NC AV maxes own: Light vecs, infantry, maxes in one clip or less

TR max: owns only stupid infantry in one clip or less. The VS maxes would have to be incompetent to die to a TR AV max and the NC shields on their maxes makes the TR av max go to the negative side of worthless...
