I got an idea... How about, every game you play, you earn some $$$ which, you keep. Then you can buy a baby suit for your cute little alien, or a diaper for your little human boy, and run around half naked? Oh, you can also buy a strapon, so you can make some love to a male alien xD ISNT IT GREAT? w00t im k00

Ok now, how about instead, you earn $$ and you can buy different colors for your alien, or you can buy some equipment, like your alien whenever you upgrade, for that type or w/e you can upgrade your claws, so you do more damage, or some stuff... you know, dont make it like WoW, but make it so you can actually carry your legend. That way its like a ladder or some sort of thing... Even get carapace upgrades like StarCraft, except like there is a certain amount of games it can be used for like, 35 games. Every human kill gives you like depending on the last hit of damage, you get that much $$$, and yeah... just an idea...

You mean make the alien evolution modular?

Sounds interesting, but a system where you can select any combination of claws, bite, size, etc will need some major custom model generation, which is non-trivial AFAIK.

What would be simpler would be to include non model-changing power-ups. Aliens could spend an evo point or two to buy e.g. poison or acid spit ability. Possibly allow spending lots of points to increase the power of the ability (one point for weak poison, two for stronger poison, etc...)

Each class of alien could have a maximum power-up capacity pending it's size. This could be used to prevent invincible aliens (i.e. a tyrant with max acid spit and max poison) where the higher classes can only have weak power-ups and lower classes stronger power-ups. The maximum power-up strength for a given class could depend on the stage.

Humans would need something to balance this of course. Perhaps they would get significantly more credits for the kill if the alien had power-ups, or a powered alien could have a reduced speed.

...and no, strap-ons are not on the power-up list  :wink:

[Evlesoa]

No no, perhaps you dont understand... the add-on do not show... As in, you do not "Equip" anything... So no modeling edit needed. Perhaps just some silver color at the end of the claws to show that they have more damage on them...

as for humans, they get special power-ups such as "Pure Blood" where their resistance to bite attacks are higher, and therfor, another thing for humans, that aliens can "Infect" the humans, which passes on from human to human, unless they use a medikit or w/e, and it only spreads to whoever steps on the dead corpse in the time before it decays fully. Also, I think there should be where humans can do the same with guns, that they shoot a serum into the aliens, which spread from alien to alien, unless a booster is present, and the alien dies slowly... anyone runs over it except the one like the human race, gets that impurity serum and starts dying. This might make tyrants a lot more valuable, and a lot more vulnarable. Even crossbows be nice xD where the gun such as a pulse rifle shoots charged cross-bullets.

"Pure Blood"

[Evlesoa]

Haha? No that wasnt funny man... Im for real... and you're a redneck ahh!

[Teiman]

Haha? No that wasnt funny man... Im for real... and you're a redneck ahh!

Its not like "Pure blood" seems like a good thing:
 - Sex with your mother. (endogamia, inbreeding?)
 - Nazism (Pure blood cult)

But mixed blood seems like something cool:
 - Mixed blood people.

I dont really care, except "Pure blood cult" or "Mixed blood cult" that seems idioticy. And POP, pop is often horrible!

Pure blood = your person bleeds everywhere... constantly.... that... would be worth upgrading to...

[Evlesoa]

OMG U IDIOTS! PURE BLOOD = FULL HUMAN!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH U???

[Seffylight]

OBJECTION![/b]

[Bajsefar]

Lol, i can smell some smoke...
Flames, where?
ah, now i see them!

Reeelax, man!
i was merely poking fun of an idea that i didnt feel very good about, nothing personal, it was an ok idea, but the noob/leet split would become bigger with this, as noobs wont so easily get the good stuff, so they would get owned in a bigger scale, and use even more time in becoming decent.

also, i was using the circumstances to show off a drawing i made, here is the original.


Also, define "full human" it does still sound a bit li3k rawcist to mee! XD

OMG U IDIOTS! PURE BLOOD = FULL HUMAN!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH U???

So you're saying that the default human isn't fully human? :-?

[Evlesoa]

Jesus christ! WHY THE F**CK CANT WE NAME IT??? Who gives a shit if its called Pure Blood, or F**CK the donkie skills? HUH? No one does, its just a suggestion for human resistance skill.

[Nux]

:eek:

Don't hurt me!

[Seffylight]

I move that we name the human resistance skill "Evlesoa's Crappy Idea".

All those in favor?

[Evlesoa]

are you really into a flame war? Because you seem to be asking for it, second post, saying something offencive to me. I suck, or I have some bad idea. How about you go shove those offences up yer ass eh? Or go help your dad cut his finger :evil:

[Evlesoa]

A joke is a short story or short series of words spoken or communicated with the intent of being laughed at or found humorous by the listener or reader.

I do not see how that is so funny, which you say my "Crappy" idea... I do not find it funny... If you do, then you are the only one joking yourself.

Hmm... I dont see no ;o)

So you just got pwned in the face biatch!

[Aninhumer]

Evlesoa, if you can't recognise sarcasm on the internet then you're going to get offended every time you open your mouth.  :wink:

I don't think any of these people give a damn that you used a term like "Pure blood". (Although on reflection, "Pure blood" suggests inbreeding, so it's probably not a good name for an enhancement)

I thnk you're over reacting, after all you are the only one in this thread swearing and it seemed obvious that Seffy was joking.

As for the original idea, I don't like it, it seems too hard to prevent cheating, and since the "$$$" expire after a while it would not help much in the long run. However, the devs might be able to make it so that at the start everyone can have a few upgrades that can be specified in the .cfg file. Obviously there would be default ones so noobs aren't using realy bad charachters. Some examples of posible upgrades: armor, you are slower but more resistant to damage, speed, faster and weaker, etc...

i dont like the idea




you play on noob servers and get  3465730957275689734572967902 credits
just so that you can uber upgrade and then actually kill someone on a pro server?


people may have good games where they pwn and bad games where they get pwned. it doesnt seem fair to reward and punish people like that



if some guy had a adv mara with upgraded hp, zap and claws, that spawned the same each time he would just suicide into the human base all the time


if you then reply to that and say that when they die they have to build up thier credits again, you are either encouraging camping and/or are in essense suggesting other alien classes like adv adv mara
