Suggestions for the future
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2014 6:24 pm
So I gave some more thought into some ideas that you could look into for the future.
My goal with these ideas is to both bring more balance to weapons making them more equel and give new ideas for the RPG.
I'm still tweaking my ideas here and there or totally rework them, but I'll keep on updating this post.
Some things might look odd at first but will become clear why as you read further through the post.
Things in this post are intended to be for patch 181 so don't expect to see them in patch 180.
Updated April 18, 2014 new things are highlighted.
Powerups:
- Radiated shells: Increases the temperature of flak shells and fragments, shells (alt fire) do more damage and fragments (main fire) go through enemies.
- Enhanced Avril: Avril does more damage, doesn't kick you back, heals more, vamps more. Alt fire shoots twice as fast for half the damage.
- Enhanced grenades: grenade launcher shoots grenades like the UT99 RL alt fire. Mainfire is a single grenade, alt fire you can load up multiple grenades to be released at once.
- Enhanced spiders: spider mines now crawl over walls and ceilings, do more damage, move faster and no more maximum limit. Alt fire spawns a spiderqueen (limit 1) wich will spawn spider mines to attack nearby enemies, queen remains stationary and will be attacked by monsters and can be destroyed.
- Web: Spammable mainfire added so it doesnt load up, so you hold it down and it keeps firing balls in a straight line that do splash dmg.
- Lucky no longer being better then superlucky.
- Chain lightning: lightning gun hits arc to 2 additional nearby enemies.
- Lightning ball: lightning gun shoots slow moving balls of lightning wich explode on impact.
- Healing 5: same effect as 5 healing PU's.
- Lucky 5: same effect as 5 lucky PU's.
- Rage 5: same effect as 5 rage PU's.
- Poison: poison and poison5 PU ticks each has a very low chance to proc vorp.
- Inferno beam: reworked, burning targets you hit. Burn deals damage and has a chance to proc vorpal.
- Explosive rounds: gives sniper rifle and mp5 splash damage (much like lilly).
- Incendiary rounds: sniper rifle and minigun ammo turns into incendiary rounds, burning targets you hit. Burn deals damage and has a chance to proc vorpal.
- Resupply no longer useable on superweapons (deemer, ion etc).
- Mp5 lasermine only triggered by monsters.
- Cluster and RL spread is always 8 rockets and just 1 per weap.
- Awareness: Reworked, gives you a chance to strike at a monsters weak point, doing double damage.
- Piercing: Fixed so it works for all non splash damage weapons/firemodes against all monsters.
- Seeker: Removed, plenty of usefull RL pu's as it is and this one isn't used at all.
- Disrupter: Changed so it works for all weapons and doesn't change the firemode, rather becomes much like propulsion etc.

- Rage: now increasing your damage by 15% but increase your damage taken by 5% aswell rather then the old effect.

- KnockBack: Rare version of propulsion with increased effect in the knockback but the same 5% damage bonus.
- Freeze: Splash damage no longer freezes yourself and the PU can be combined with force/force5/superforce and a 5% dmg bonus.
- PullForward: Can be combined with propulsion and knockback, so the monsters bounce back and forward.
- NullEntropy: Splash damage no longer roots yourself and the PU can be combined with force/force5/superforce.
- Stone: Splash damage no longer stuns yourself and the PU can be combined with force/force5/superforce and gives you a 5% dmg bonus.
- Armor Piercing rounds Sniper rifle.
- Tesla gun LG: stream of lightning like link alt fire but unlimited range.
- Bio Living slime: slimes acts like normal slime of bio but also come to life. Moving to nearby targets and exploding on contact. Moves over floor, walls and ceilings.
- Reaper: transforms your chainsaw into a reaper, mainfire acts like a ssr mini and chainsaw combined. Alt fire acts like chainsaw with more damage then mainfire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dih8iag-mgk 2nd weapon in the video.
