New Specialisms Suggestions

Checkers Axis of Weevils Autodueller Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 355 Joined: Jul 17, 2010 Quote: Perhaps these 'specialisms' could be 'afflictions' that take hold after significant injury and the like.  Introducing such things as 1000 yard stare: increased immunity to courage draining events but sometimes doesn't follow orders Panic Fire: freaks out at random times, potentially firing on/ramming random target Combat Fixation: fixates on a target and will not stop ramming/shooting it until everyone in the target is dead Berserker: if assigned to a weapon will target and fire on enemies every time they are in LOF.  Will not stop shooting even if friendlies get in the way or if burst damage might hurt/kill self Fear of Fire: immediately bails our of car if it catches on fire or is hit with Flamethrower.  Fear of *insert weapon or weapon type*: increased stress from being fired on by specific weapon type Fear of *insert gang*: increased stress from specific gang presence-- this CAN be a PC gang.  Blood lust: cannot stop combat until personally kills someone.  Will kill friendlies if no enemy in range Players would just not use those gangers, or use them in events they expect to lose them in. See what happens with gangers who get heavily addicted. Scouting-- Spotter: Get a second, smaller spawn circle in which to replace vehicle once enemy appears. Mechanic-- Reinforced Firewall: When this mechanic is in the vehicle, gangers, weapons and engines in a burning vehicle take less damage over time. ......................... vet wv Posted Jan 9, 2011, 5:23 am Last edited Jan 9, 2011, 5:26 am by Checkers

FireFly Anarcho-Pumpkin Privateers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5,468 Joined: Mar 3, 2008 I've got one... First, rename "Sniper" to "Sharpshooter". Secondly, make a new spec called "Sniper" that gives you a third option in attacks, "Sniper Shot". Anyone who has played a turn based tactical RPG knows how that one works, the more turns you aim, the more accurate the first shot, but it only works with the first shot and then you have to line up another one. But I'd settle for renaming "Sniper" ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Jan 17, 2011, 3:19 pm Last edited Jan 17, 2011, 3:19 pm by FireFly

*goat starer* Special Circumstances Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Contributors Posts: 10,907 Joined: Oct 29, 2007 Big Yellow Cowardly Custard If you have one of these in your car you start each pvp with a CR and weaponry advantage comparable to the days when Firefly used to look at the make up of a departing squad before sending out his interception squad. (of course this specialism may be impossible... apparently it was impossible to do this before.... according to firefly... the same firefly who just 'announced' that the RC had magnanamously made it impossible for the second time... yeah.. i dont understand that either... i guess its a big mystery) ......................... vet wv zom pvp4 cont community deathrceL1 marshal pvp3 pvp2 Posted Jan 17, 2011, 3:29 pm Last edited Jan 17, 2011, 3:29 pm by goat starer

Zephyr River City Gamblers Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Subscribers Posts: 551 Joined: Dec 12, 2009 Thinking of ways to make scouts more useful: how bout a new specialism, "Recon." It applies when a scout character is living in a camp. It gives a boost to the camp's defense rating. So, similar to how camp managers like having Mechs in their camp, they would now also want some Scouts in their camp. Also maybe when an npc pirate squad attack is approaching it may give some additional info about the contents of the enemy squad ......................... vet wv Posted Jan 31, 2011, 3:49 am Last edited Jan 31, 2011, 4:02 am by Zephyr

Zephyr River City Gamblers Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Subscribers Posts: 551 Joined: Dec 12, 2009 Ideas for Mech Specialisms: "Rapid Repair": (or something similar). It cuts down the time to fix chassis and component damage and repair armor in towns where the mech is. Say, 10% reduction per level. "Rapid Install": cuts down the time to install weapons and engines in vehicles in towns where the mech is. Say, 20% reduction per level. "Economizer:" Every vehicle in the same town as the mech with this spec gets a boost to its fuel efficiency. "Field Repairs:" Can attempt to repair armor (a few points) and components (maybe +10-20%) on cars in the loot screen after a fight. The workflow would be similar to reloading weapons: the player puts some scrap metal (for armor repairs) and/or car parts (for component repairs) in the vehicle, then right-clicks on the vehicle icon and selects "attempt field repairs." ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 10, 2011, 9:11 pm Last edited Feb 13, 2011, 11:59 pm by Zephyr

*Splash* Coolerheads Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 568 Joined: Dec 30, 2009 "Speedy: Able to guide travels at over 30MPH with no increased risk of encounter/ambush/etc. Affects the whole squad, but only if the lead scout. Levels could give this increments - 3-5MPH" I like this idea, perhaps as a new spec for both drivers and scouts. I was thinking maybe a percentage (say, 15?) decrease in travel time for the first level, then an additional 10 and 5 for each level afterwards. It seems like a level 150 scout (or driver) should be able to negotiate the terrain better, while still keeping an eye out for potential enemies. What would be REALLY cool is if you could set a "cruising speed" at the start of a travel or scout (say, 20-50?), and risk facing more ambushes/worse spawns, or hoping for less, based on how fast you were travelling in relation to the standard 30 mph. But I'm sure that's a lot of work, and DW is already "really cool" as it is, so I won't hold my breath. ......................... vet wv pvp5 e2g pvp2 sssc combatL1 marshal1,1,0 Posted Apr 4, 2011, 2:59 pm Last edited Apr 4, 2011, 3:04 pm by Splash

Hogfather Hogs of Destiny Racer Renegade Group: Members Posts: 119 Joined: Mar 8, 2011 As it stands, First Aid is not all that useful. Very few players take the time to train it due to its barely noticeable effects. Also, you can't use First Aid on yourself. I propose it be improved a bit. One big thing that should be added is that you can use First Aid on yourself as long as you are actually conscience. This would help bring it on par with other skills and might result in people keeping a squad in Elmsfield for training. Being as that town is a ghost town, it would be a nice fringe benefit. Heck maybe adding in some new specs could spice it up too: Prosthetics (Arms): Skilled in crafting better prosthetic arms. Gangers only suffer a 10% penalty. Prosthetics (Legs): Skilled in crafting better prosthetic legs. Gangers only suffer a 10% penalty. If we wanted to make exceptional prosthetics more rare, it could maybe even be something made at camps requiring xxx level of First Aid as well. ......................... vet wv paintball Posted May 6, 2011, 3:34 am

Yeah I think its auto, the point I'm making is you can't do it to yourself.  That would add a bit of usefulness & realism to the skill. ......................... vet wv Posted May 6, 2011, 2:39 pm

Well hence I suggested the idea of Prosthetics as a FAid specialization or perhaps even as a rare camp production.  If it was just something you got at the town, people would just taxi the injured ganger there and leave.  The secondary idea is to get people to STICK AROUND TOWN too.  This could also go hand in hand with Elms/GW going pvp open in the future to try to spread out the player base more. ......................... vet wv paintball Posted May 6, 2011, 3:32 pm

Hogfather Hogs of Destiny Racer Renegade Group: Members Posts: 119 Joined: Mar 8, 2011 How about making Negotiator a bit more useful. I realize I am a noob and only have Neg2, but its useless. My suggestion is that the skill be used to truce out of fights, much the same way PvP is though with the price based on your Negotiator skill. My thoughts are: NEG1 = truce at 100% value of your vehicles NEG2 = truce at 90% value of your vehicles etc. The value should be market value IMO, not the NPC vendor value, of the nearest market. ......................... vet wv paintball Posted May 18, 2011, 12:44 am
