Splash Damage (well, Locki) want’s a good MMO FPS… and I do too! frowns at Huxley

(LyndonL) #944

Doesn’t FireFall come into that category?

(DarkangelUK) #945

I would assume so given the limited footage i’ve seen so far, and it is indeed one I’m looking forward to trying… though it’s pencilled for a december release date :frowning:

(Seyu) #946

Lots of that stuff coming up: Planetside Next, the new Tribes game,…

Further, the characters all level up and gain better abilities. For example, medics will eventually gains access to a “Lazarus Grenade,” which can be used against enemies (to do what, I was frustratingly not told, but it’s ostensibly a revivification explosive).

LOL wtf. This forum was told that Laz Nades aloud a player to heal teammates from a distance.
I guess it was “left on the cutting room floor”. cough

(Schwarzeis) #949

Wait, so Medics wont have a reviving Lazarus Grenade anymore? :confused:

(Maawdawg) #950

I think he may just not have known what it was an assumed wrong. I would still predict it is an AoE heal grenade for teammates. He probably thought grenade = for enemies and then got stuck.

(Exedore) #951

Sometimes things get heard wrong. Nothing has changed with the Lazarus Grenade, it still only effects teammates.

(Schwarzeis) #952

Aight, thanks alot Exedore :slight_smile:

(tokamak) #953

That’s great to hear.

I still think the technology isn’t there yet. RPG work in MMO settings because they have a lower fidelity in combat precision. It’s semi turn-based. Shooters are real-time and any deviation from that is noticeable.

(Humate) #954

Thanks for clearing that up Exedore.

(JeP) #955

The Lazarus Grenade was announced to revive people (well, sending them seringes), not healing them, if I recall well… ?

(LyndonL) #956

Lazarus was someone who was brought back from the dead so that would be a good choice :tongue:

(JeP) #957

Totally.

TERA Online is an action based MMORPG. You need to aim and shoot using cross hairs like any other TPS.
