I kinda see like a Mass Effect type feel in its abilities and powers...but it just doesnt fit the theme of Planetside.
Now I would support more implants and activated implants. At most I think the more powerful ones would be an example of.... Focused Rate: Once activated the players reload time his reduced by 80% and can shoot 5% faster. While activated it has a constant and very costly stanima drain only allowing a player with full stanima 5 seconds of use. After use the player becomes fatigued and takes longer for his stamina to refresh. Granted that might be a little extreme but thats as powerful as they should come. And with a price. |

I already mentioned nothing like the normal MMORPG magic. I was referring to a more science-fiction fantasy. Apparently people have a very narrow view of fantasy. From wikipedia:

I hate to be a dick but how can magic and science fiction sit next to each other? Magic by definition is the ability to make something fantastic happen with out understanding how. Science is the discipline of explaining how things work.

I think you're over-thinking things a bit too much. I probably shouldn't have said fantasy as in "not knowing how a certain effect works" and just titled it science-fiction implants to include the idea that all the effects are well understood in science in the Auraxis world.
The reason I didn't was because I saw the ancient technology as so much more advanced that it bordered fantasy in its workings. Teleportation rings in the caves, the zip lines, crystals that heal/repair vehicles among other things, and floating turrets type stuff. Though the VS does use levitation in their tanks. In the future can you write more so I don't have to guess what your argument is? ![]() Also regarding the poll I believe it's useless also. I'm not sure what it's describing anymore since most people are hardwired that fantasy == WoW. Or that's that impression I get from the posts.

That out of the way, I'm not seeing what this would add. Its not like there are many common fantasy things you can't do in PS. Teleport? Router, spawn tubes. Fly? Aircav. Fireball? Plasma Thumper. Haste? Surge. Invisibility? Cloak, ams, cloak field. Heal, Resurrect? med tool, spawn tubes. Magic Missile? Striker. Detect evil? motion sensors, audio amp, darklight, etc. Power word: Kill? OS. Cloudkill? Radiator. Etc, etc, etc. So. What the hell do you want to add? About all thats missing from common fantasy tropes are crowd controls and summons(unless you count spitfires). They just have a different name. Last edited by CutterJohn; 2011-08-31 at 05:37 AM. |
