phasmatis6 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Sounds a bit drastic. Why don't you let the server admins choose? Put the option in a cfg file. Disable it by default if you want. It would be really cool if you game map designers a way to block grapple on certain surfaces. Noimpact shaders do this, but they aren't applicable for every situation.

Maxstate Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 With all due respect, if our coder doesn't want a grapple hook, I'm on his side. There are lot of other gadgets that we could give a gunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unbeholden Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 grapple hook..... there's so much to do and improve on the current elements of the game, wasting time with a grapple hook is not good time management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 This is true. There still comes a time where we need to think about adding new things to the game, even though it's pretty much become a secondary objective. It's hard to add something without adding in massive amounts of bugs. This is backed up by the fact that we've added a new force power, a new gun and a new skill for gunners, and now we have a bug that tends to crash servers on random.

zpucek Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 If there is gonna be force telekinesis, it would be really cool if a rocket is fired at you that you could stop the rocket in mid-air. Then, the rocket fells on the ground or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, the rocket fells on the ground or something. Almost realistic. You would have to be able to fling it in any direction you want and have it explode on impact .

Kahn D'halaine Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yeah, but that was Force Deflect. I'm thinking of stopping the bolts in mid-air, then maybe flinging them back at the shooter like Sylar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDestroyer99 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 anyone from the team have a general idea of when 1.3 is going to be out? When itz done. Don't worry Viper, I got the same answer . Anyway, a new thought. When somebody goes the "full force" way, not using a lightsaber or weapons, that person will have an extra option to their force push. Once they get force push to level 3, an option will become available to them: The Force Wave upgrade. This would work by allowing the force user to push all enemies in a medium-sized radius with a huge wave of force power (50 force points), dealing massive physical damage (Somehow get it figured out so the damage is = to how far away whatever they hit is. At a far enough distance the person will just land and take about 5 damage vs. being able to be crushed by something extremely close). This ability won't be mandatory to use. To use this the person would press the "Reload" button and use the "Force Push" power. Why is this an idea to implement? Imagine being a pure force user, being rushed by 4 lightsaber wielding enemies that will cut your DP to 0 in a matter of seconds. Now imagine that with your ability to send them flying with ease. But isn't this overpowered you ask? Well, a cool down time would be required of at least 45 seconds! The specs: Name: Force Wave Effectiveness Range: Medium, AoE (Area of Effect, does damage in a sphere around the user) Damage: Once hit with the wave every second you don't hit something the damage is reduced by 13. After 7.6 seconds, the damage done is 5 and the person hits the floor. Rate of Movement: The wave makes a person go flying at the speed of a level 3 force push if they are hit by it. Cool Down Time: 45-60 seconds. Force Point Cost: 50 Cost to purchase in menu: 20 (on top of all 3 levels of Push) Power Type: Neutral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcatmach2 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 sounds cool kinda like tenqs ideas which i loved and were very reminiscent of kotor with your method of a 45s cool down the 4 saberists will just get up and slice you before you could fire it again.

zpucek Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I have some new ideas too: Force Breach/Suppression - removes speed, protect, and "stuns" absorb for a limited time. Force Camouflage - something like cloaking device. Slow/Affliction/Plague - increases mishap, decreases dodge, force or something like that.

The big thing with that power is: HUGE DAMAGE! Any of them hits a wall when they are close to it they take huge damage. Maybe it should reduce their DP 75% of its max .

Kahn D'halaine Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Agree, t'is a little difficult to read that. Bullet time is too impractical to put in use, but what we can do is to make the timescale command a serverside cvar. That way the server admin can easily change the game to slowmo, if there is really intense combat for example. Wouldn't that be an interesting addition?
