T:V Gameplay/weapon/pack ideas & discussion...

I wanna hear what some of your ideas for packs, weapons and minor gameplay changes for Tribes: Vengeance... or how should some of the existing weapons in the Tribes universe be changed?

One gameplay feature I'm hoping makes it in is the ability to shoot projectiles (from enemy weapons) out of the air (with another projectile)... I've heard mention of this before, I think by one of the devs (just that it was possible by the engine, not that they were implementing it).

Or similarly, a medium/heavy weapon representation of this, for example, you could jet up so that the projectile would basically MA you, but you'd 'catch' it in this weapon, which could then keep the kinetic energy of the projectile and fire it back off at the speed it was approaching at... so I guess, click once to 'open up' the catcher, click again to fire it back off... this would be great for defense to stop spam.

What are you guys hoping for?

I thought this entire message board was for that?
edit:
the first idea is horrible and has a whole thread about it

the second idea is possibly even more horrible and requires no further discussion

That second idea is horrible. Name it the "great play stopper". A medium capper grabs the flag, has great speed and is heading home, a LD shoots a miracle disc, it's going to MA him but WAIT!, the medium catchs the disc in a bag and continues to cap.

That's just painful to even imagine.

I SAID IT DIDNT REQUIRE FURTHER DISCUSSION GOD CAN YOU REAd!!!!!

Threads lately have been about scoring, technical details & the 'little' things, I'm just trying to get the ball rolling again. :)

I kind of like the second idea cuz it would be rare but cool. Such as someone sniping a mortar. Chaingun bullets blowing stuff up would be stupid though.

Where is this thread anyway? Can't find it.

a LD shoots a miracle disc, it's going to MA him but WAIT!, the medium catchs the disc in a bag and continues to cap.

This could happen anyway with a light wearing a shield pack... yes?

If a person is jetting he's probably not going to have enough energy to take a disc hit without taking damage. He'll also be knocked off course a fair distance.

WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THIS IDEA AND DISCUSSING IT? GOD I HATE YOU GUYs

I made this thread once (http://www.tribalwar.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1 92348&highlight=serious)

:P

now you're assuming there will be no energy packs.

BUT I'M TOO F'ING BUSY WORKING ON MY F'ING STAND-UP ROUTINE!

You know you want to

I think I'd like to see the rocket launcher be able to fire even without a lock. It's one of those things I think should have been T2. I also think the cloakpack should reduce the amount of armor you have, ie if you are a light and the cloakpack is enabled you should take more damage when hit. I think the reload time on the disc launcher should be reduced a bit. I also think there should be more effective deployable turrets. Spikes and clamps just don't do a whole lot of damage because they are a bit slow. If skiing is going to be fixed, there's gonna be a whole new world of HO and we all know HO can be hella fast, so maybe all the turret response time (including base turrets) should be increased a bit. I'd also like to see an enhanced jetpack that allows you to fly a bit further than with using just an energy pack, but using the normal energy meter, conversely it should also give off a lot more heat and the heat should go away slower, leaving more time to get a missle lock.

seriously, don't even discuss the cloak pack because it is fucking worthless. you can see the dust trail & the outline and you can hear the stupid fucker.


Next.

Until a person can catch a bullet with his hands, theres no way a guys gonna catch a spin disc in a bag.
