Overmind is suposed to be like a super powerfull brain that controls aliens right?
The attack that he curently has looks abit odd.
Sinse om is a very powerfull brain why doesn't it have like a brain dmg attack. Like the screen gooes fuzzy or something like sing the same object twise like in STALKER. I dont think it will be hard to inplument becouse it can be also like basi gas attack.

What do you think about this ppl?

... its an interesting idea. The helmet/bsuit could lessen the damage or something.

Shadowgandor · « **Reply #2 on:** November 18, 2007, 09:17:30 am »

But wouldn't it become a bit to strong compared to the rc?

no becouse it would work only a cetain range and strenth. The strenth and range can be modified to fair strenth. In trem 1.2 they are introducing rc megazap and human bases are way stronger anyway. So this would not disbalence anything. As far as I think.

Nice idea, but that's it.
Lots of people would not see the effect as they turn off all eyecandy.

Perhaps like the gravemind effect in halo 3, but instead of green and wavy, it could be purple and creep-y

HamStar · « **Reply #6 on:** November 18, 2007, 08:33:06 pm »

So what about the poor psaw rushers doped up on the hallucinations so they can't aim near the Overmind? Eh? EH?

And not slow you down to the speed of a snail at the most anoying times. God, how i hated the gravemind in the level 'Cortana'

Meh, i use those times to eat.
You cant be attacked, but your shield recharges.

What about rc jump in next version of trem? I dnt think jumping tesla-reactor whould be posible too. And I dont think you need alot of aming using psaw against something big like OM.

Ah, good point. Didn't think of that $:-\$

When you say like in stalker do you mean stalker vodka, stalker anomaly, stalker brain scorcher, or stalker controller?

demenator · « **Reply #12 on:** December 22, 2007, 04:26:32 pm »

stalker controller

Sevis · « **Reply #13 on:** December 24, 2007, 12:38:38 pm »

In that case, where will into, the overmind? Or do you just mean seeing double, shaking, and that noise?

Whar if, at 50% hp, the OM would mind-control the next attacker for, say.. 5 or 10 seconds? meaning it would freeze and shoot at teammates or something? Would be cool. :p

poor swab would get kicked for "TK"

MartinX3 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 31, 2007, 03:08:35 pm »

lol.
like in starship troopers: hero of the federation.
Make little ball aliens walk into the human moud and then into his brain.
It controll the humand and make he to a zombie and then put it eggs in the brain the head explode and there is a new dretch? or something. or little spezial alien what not be get with evos?
or aliens catch the poor human and bring him into base or we rescue him before he is in base and then balls into human.
(Not the two balls from the human between his legs XD)
HARD to make.

Yeah I think the om should have a lisk-gas ish effect on humans, just for a few secs.

Supertanker · « **Reply #22 on:** January 20, 2008, 05:14:50 am »

I think a psycotic attack would be effective. Just take the red blend used for pain and make it purple. Maybe make a small wave effect in front of it. Wouldn't this only require two shader stages? The pain blend and the wave?

Or just make the overmind shot out plasma grenades at 50 a second and have them stick to whoever is nearby. Then, when the human runs back to base they detonate in his teammates. Or better, have him shoot out lightsabers!

mooseberry · « **Reply #23 on:** January 20, 2008, 09:29:29 pm »

Good idea! I think it would work out great.

true, why not the OM?

but guys, if you want to make the OM more powerful in an entertaining way, why don'T you give her simply more HP...?
in this case you could defend it with playing, not with some shiny effect.
