[QUOTE=H0RSE;276570]I’m pretty sure the that is an Engineer buff. It differs from a health buff since it doesn’t boost your health, it boosts your damage resistance.

I don;t know if it boosts overall resistance, or just headshots or what. As a counter, the Soldier can distribute armor piercing rounds to teammates.[/QUOTE]
Don’t the engineers buff guns? Atleast that’s what I thought until now.

(Herandar) #23

Yes. Why shouldn’t they be able to do both?

(Whydmer) #24

Dude that would be like medics being able to both heal and revive people… It would be wrong it would cause chaos on the Ark it would break down civilization as we know it.

I thought civilization on the Ark had already broken down, hence the fighting?

The single biggest anti-griefer tool at this point is host match privacy and kicking privileges combined with fill-in bots.

After that, it is just making friends with cool people. That one we are responsible for. :wink: :smiley:

(BioSnark) #27

but not at the same time. it’s not a huge stretch to consider that it replaces the default class interaction ability. It’s not like you’re expecting engineers to be able to deploy a level 1, 2 and 3 sentry gun at the same time. Of course it’s not unreasonable to think they are applied at the same time if it’s not over powered for the energy cost.

(DouglasDanger) #28

You can have three active abilities. Couldn’t you have turret, gun buff and kevlar plate all at the same time? I think you can, given what I have read on these forums.

(BioSnark) #29

Certainly possible. I’m assuming that the ally boosting abilities are all aim at ally, press X and not d-pad for the sake of control consistency. Could be wrong.

(Cankor) #30

I thought the kevlar plate wasn’t necessarily a buff, but rather like an armor upgrade for yourself. Seems like both the Soldier and Engineer have it. Could have been confused.

(Herandar) #31

A passive armor upgrade then. Actually makes more sense. Also, I’m pretty sure that the soldier ability that has a shield icon on it is for armor-piercing ammunition.

(H0RSE) #32

I think the Soldiers armor upgrade is passive only for himself, while the Engineer’s is a buff that can be administered to teammates as well, or maybe only teammates.

Releasing the tutorial vid would be a good commercial for the game in my opinion.
Also, if they are really gona make a zombie mode (sounds awesome), it should still be objective based, not survival

where did you hear about this Zombie mode? Somehow I doubt it.

(Mustkunstn1k) #35

In the video it shows one dude giving it to another…
That last sentence sounds weird.

Where is this?

EDIT: Also, I just read that bots wont take over for AFK players :confused:

(JeP) #37

Yeah that idea has been raised before, don’t remember by who.

The only instance of a Brink zombie mode I can recall seemed kind of a joke
between the interviewer and the dev. I really won’t expect something like that.

Still wonder where this is, someone please fill me in

You mean I can see the things in this video I’ve seen so many times already? o_O

EDIT: I wouldn’t have to ask these questions if I just paid more attention to the little details… Thanks alot, Jep :slight_smile:
