Turrets

Aaaah ok, well I guess that's not so bad then considering you can still rape bodies of their weapons after deploying :)

One shot on a turret a bit much though, imo. It's 2 in classic. One shot disables a spider and 2nd destroys it. Spike turrets are much more tougher but slower than spiders of course.

Zooloo wants his game so that he can run through it blind with 3 O members and wipe out a D from what ive seen.

Yes Spinfusor, that's exactly what I'm saying. I couldn't possibly be considering game balance in general. I couldn't be considering that it is better to make players fight players rather than players fight turrets.

You are quite possibly the most over the top, reactionary poster I've had the pleasure of having discourse with. I mention one bit about weaker turrets, and suddenly you put words in my mouth; namely, something as hyperbolic as, "I want defense to curl up and die at the first sign of an offensive player," or other such nonsense.

Chill out for chrissake.

Yeah turret placement is a very important part of farming that I haven't seen to many people understand very well. The most annoying thing I can think of as a farmer is that you go out and get one maybe two turrets out and when you go to place more 3 other people have used them up in stupid locations.

Werd ;)

Zooloo that was just poking fun at your opposite system of game balence that I have... I dont care if you want a lemon :D

:heart:

I just happen to think the game could use some breakup to the tired old... HO WAVE, LO WAVE whoopy doo assault....

Bombers and tanks broke up that drudgery... and I hope some form like that will be in T:V... as well as the ability to counter an assault on your base with deployables and innate defense. with suffcient manpower of course.

To tell you the truth, I hope there's some good maps here where stealth is envolved. I mean I really hope it has it the best of both worlds because stealth team attacks rock! Stealth envolves strategie.

I agree that can get rather monotanous and vehicle attacks always were a welcome diversion though the bomber ones would take out half your deployables (if the pilot and bombadier were any good). So far it looks like T:V will have sufficient action to keep that monotany from happening.

That is interesting to hear that the turrets will take up weapon slots, it would be cool to be able to have the extra turrets in hand.

I spent so much time playing deployer in both T1 and T2 matches that I would hate to see the turrets out of the game.

A good O has no problem dealing with turrets, although even a good O can have their rhythm thrown off when mid map they find that there are turrets being placed again.

I spent a lot of time in matches switching between deploy, LD and back to deploying. Having wave after wave of HO destroy every turret you setup as soon as you turn around is very frustrating, going LD let them think that they would no longer have to worry about turrets.

They just add that extra bit of stategy that isn't in many other games, and it also give another position for somebody to play that isn't LD, LO, HO, HD.

rabbit hits it right on.... and the bomber was an effective alternative to HO clearing those deployables.... some form of vehicle assault would be very welcome in V.

Wait a sec... where did they say that you could carry more than one turret in weapon slots? You can't carry 2 spinfusors, so why would you be able to carry 2 turrets at the same time?

Neek has a point.

It could be either way.

Read the IGN post on TW. I'm listening to IGN's interview with the designers. Turrets exist in an undeployed state in an area. You throw your weapons and pick them up; they take up weapon slots. Then you walk somewhere and hit "fire" to place them.TW Fact Checker Patrol: At no time did anybody say that you "throw your weapon". You simply walk up and pick the thing up. No weapon throwing required.

Being able to carry more turrets would make no sense at all. Any medium could just go and ski into the enemy base and fill it with turrets in 2 seconds.

It takes up your deployable slot.

Deployable slot? That sounds to me like you have weapon, pack AND deployable slots, meaning that you can carry a deployable and wear a pack at the same time. Is that so?

Well, packs are on your legs, so I don't see why not. Plus, that doesn't sound that bad to me either, as long as carrying a deployable slows you down.

lol, that all would depend on how big the base was :P Maybe he could only carry one turret. Maybe all 4! He would be defenseless after he deployed his assets with the exception of his turrets which could be good or bad. Maybe it'd be a valid strategy depending on the type of turret/s it was givin it's strength or weaknesses.

I can see sending in a farmer to the base to possibly take a certain position to help advance a front on the base. We don't even know how the game really plays yet or how they would factor or what kind of turrets there are.

I'm not worried .. yet. Sounds kinda cool. All depends if you're allowed more than one turret in a slot. Of course you can't carry 2 spinfusors that's silly. never could. Why would you want too? If I could carry more than one turret though I would but the penalty might be to be weaponless. Whatever helps advance the cause :P
