You already do get abilities.

They come in the form of this dandy little RPG element called "Cert points," you spend them at this terminally thing, and you can get new guns! Vehicles! The ability torevive dead folks!

AMAAAAZIIIING!!!1

Yes, because all mentally, or physically, incapacitated people are as condescending, and bitter as I. Way-To-Go.

Also, if you couldnt see the veiled "The system is fine as-is, and needs no tinkering" message within my last post, you deserve a firm thwacking at the hands of Domo-Kun.

You cant call someone else a retard when you spell like that, just a FYI.

Yes, all good things did come from ideas. Just not ideas from that guy.

Man. I really should be nicer. Karma is going to bitch-own me one of these days.

OMFG... that's great. But you do have a point Spee. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Most of us are CR0 grunts and we should be happy for the CP we get. I like driving my Thresher and using my Lasher to kill people. Hooah!

Spee , this is just an idea , i dont mean to change the damn game or anything

Modum, I'm bitter, rude, and mean to everyone. People posting new ideas just happen to open themselves up for it.

Alright. To create a non-troll post, adding BR ranks would add too much RPG to the FPS game. As it's been mentioned, the allure of an FPS is to be on an equal playing field with you fellow plays, be they competitors, or friends. Now, PlanetSide has managed to strike a unique balance between adding customization to a character, and one's ability to fight. Yes, chances are that the guy in rexo with an MCG will pwn you like a dirty little n00b should you be running about in your pajamas, but, with an assload of skill, a lot of luck, and clever use of surge, you have at least a good chance of damaging that person, so someone else more equipped to handle that sort of threat can take him out easier.

With the inclusion of BR abilities, it adds more to the "I play more, therefore, Me > You" ideology, which, no one around these forums at least, wants to see - trust me, I've tried my hand at seeing if people would like more RPG in thier FPS, and most people dont. Implants are, already, as mentioned, in effect as new abilities - The ability to heal yourself, the ability to run faster, to observe the health of an enemy, to see cloaked enemies when they are standing still, to see enemies on radar easier - All of these come with playing. Any more added to a BR level up would make the game unbalanced.

However, just my two cents.

ok yes , i understand where u are coming from but , i know that implants are there , but im talkin about mabye new abilities also when u get a new slot for implants?I did not mean to say a new ability for every BR, just some things that would NOT use up stamina like implants do , and maybe they would offer new things than implants cant do , like maybe self EMP charges that would not effect urself? run into a base as infill , bunch of tanks sittin there , blow the charge , they cant shoot u for a sec till u get inside? just an idea of an ability

xmodum · 2003-12-21, 04:33 PM

plus , if u dont have anything nice to say....
just right it down on paper , and shove it up ur ass!
