Two great ideas on wishlist that derserve some recognition

EarlyDawn · 2004-02-05, 06:53 PM

Neither of these are my ideas. I just really like them and think they could use some recognition.

Deployable Emplacements by Hayoo

Real Rewards V.2 by SilentSparrow

Well, I had a somewhat lengthy post drawn up outlining them and what I liked about each, but I accidentally deleted it. Quick overview:

Real Rewards V.2- If combined with Hayoo's original container idea I posted, probably on page two by now, you'd see some unique looking players, and you'd also be able to identify their accomplishments.

Emplacements- Emplacements would make great chokepoints, be useful for a variety of uses, and give Combat Engineers a much-expanded role. Also check out that post's crossreferenced link to "Comtechs", a cool idea that I'll post a formal link and thoughts about later.

I dunno about some of those reward requirements. 75 kills in one life with a rifle seems practically impossible, assuming you're not sniping

.

EarlyDawn · 2004-02-05, 07:06 PM

Okay, I'll concede that the limitations need some work, but still. It's a great idea.

75 kills with one rifle impossible?

I got about 1300 kills and I could bet atleast 400 of those (maybe less) are from sniping.

EDIT: OH! One life... forgive me

Heres a idea i just sent to Hayoo for idea lab,but before i list it are the wishful patch notes things that are getting into the game if so it'll make the wait until my dad lets me resubscribe again even longer Well heres the idea

Industrial sites from when the planet was colonized. There might be just one on a planet. These can create a new concept. Fuel for vehicles, and metals like steel. This might introduce a new tractor like vehicle. Maybe a new cert like Industry. Instead of taking power to make vehicles it would take metal and fuel. Repairs and refueling would be the reason why they aren't combined. Spawning and base repairs would take energy instead. Large trucks could carry metals mined from beneath the suface. Large fuel trucks could carry fuel from oil derricks.

Here's hoping Fame, Fortune and Glory involves some of this stuff.

EarlyDawn · 2004-02-05, 07:21 PM

Yeah, that'd be nice.

TheN00b · 2004-02-05, 07:36 PM

Pattywick, just out of curiousity, who would want to drive those large fuel trucks?

I like it but I think some things are set a bit to high. 75 kills in ONE LIFE?! Thats nearly (if not) impossible. Highest I EVER had was like 15. And that took like 5 healings and repairs.

Edit: Talking about the rewards of course...

TheN00b · 2004-02-05, 08:40 PM

Yep, unless you have an incredible desire to be a cheap-ass Surgile 24/7, 75/1 is just not going to happen. Ever.

Angel_of_Death · 2004-02-05, 08:58 PM

There's nothing wrong with surging....and it's probably just as impossible doing that. Imagine running in to a crowded enemy room. Sure, you're fast, but you're not invincible. Only way it is possible, is if you're a really REALLY good sniper.

NoSurrender · 2004-02-05, 09:53 PM

hmmmm i love the emplacement. that would work amazing well. Emplacements>*

Yeah, that'd be a major feat. But, then again, I don't think it's meant to be easy. You'd pull it off given enough months of attempting it, and when you finally get it... well, it'd be a badge of recognition, that's for sure.

Hayoo · 2004-02-05, 10:06 PM

but before i list it are the wishful patch notes things that are getting into the game?

No, that section of my site is just wishful thinking and hoping.

I got the idea to make the notes from looking at the Dark Age of Camelot updates. I thought it would be fun to pretend all this stuff was actually going in the game soon, but it's definately not the real thing.

*update: Thanks for the nod, LNS.

By the way, the most current Comtech certification description can be found here.

EarlyDawn · 2004-02-05, 10:22 PM

No problem. Should compile a complete list of all the emplacements.

pssst. hurry up with the schematics and crosssections ;-)
