Just ideas i had in the bathroom. ` -`

(paper5square) #1

1st,
Crawling when downed, wouldn’t it be cool if we can crawl when we’re downed, so we can crawl to a cover or something, make it slow so it’s not ‘op’/‘annoying’. Because you gotta admit it’s kinda boring when you’re downed and you’re just wiggling there like a baby waiting to be finished or revived.

2nd,
Manual Spotting, like in planetside 2 where you can spot somebody when you saw him and your character will shout something like ‘‘infiltrator spotted’’ , but in dirtybomb, would be like ‘‘Phantom spotted’’. So your allies will know who/what merc is near your vicinity.

3rd,
Proxy mines on walls, why not?

4th,
The 1st person eye covering when blinded by thunder, it’s in 3rd person, why not in 1st? Also, maybe add a little audio for every merc when blinded, example would be Aura shouting ‘MAH MADAFUCKING EYES’!
Merc shouts when they are burning by molotovs, why not on thunder’s nade right? #muchdemand

5th,
Primary/Secondary gun melee (less damage than knife ofcourse), but would save more time than switching to knife when in close combat.

6th, (notsogoodideabutwhynot)
I’d love more blood on this game, maybe blood trails when shot? Of course will fade after a few seconds. I’ve never seen this feature on a video game but meh.

Thoughts?

I dislike all of these except reducing the screen glare on the flash grenades.
The manual spotting is a case of idk. The game is kinda too fast for that to matter.

  1. This would make the medic easier to use cause everyone would crawl out of the fire-line.
    That’s the whole point of being downed. A medic decides if he rush and res you or not.

  2. No. We have 2 classes whose only purpose and usage in the team is to spot enemies. With a manual spot noone woule EVER use redeye or Vaseline.

  3. FUCK NO! NO! NO! GOD NO! NOOO! NO!

  4. Why not. But there are more important things than a entirely new animation for every of the mercs.

  5. You have a quick-melee button, you know? I’m against that quick-melee which was established by modern-shooters like CoD.

  6. I like blood, too.

(Ctrix) #5

To be fair the spotting mercs are kinda useless already.
Vassili is cool for having wallhacks against bad teams.

  1. No.
  2. Nein.
  3. Neit.
  4. Yes.
  5. Não.
  6. Yes.

There are already voice lines for being under CG effect (f.ex. Sparks says “Is like ice cream headache…real bad”)

@Jostabeere, Most medics i’ve played with focus on killing much more than reviving downed allies, so i’m thinking about that crawl idea isn’t so bad idea? It just annoys me watching the medics chase down enemies while i’m on the ground wiggling like a shawarma waiting to get revived, rather than K’ing (suicide).

  1. In the one hand we have Sporks, in the other we have medics that step over your agonising body and run in the hills. Not a big deal.
  2. May be useful. From the whole start of my DB experience it bothers me when my Proxy yell “enemee spotteed”, but nothing happens after.
  3. No.
  4. That’d be good. There’s already some special pfrases for smokescreen in “see nuffin”-style, they could be adjusted for a bit for a blind effect too.
  5. No point, you switch your weapons nearly instant anyway.
  6. Blood is good, but, afaic, good chunk of players use fps-configs for obvious reasons, and won’t be happy with another potential problem.

You crawling after them won’t help with that though.

(SereneFlight) #11

Yesssss… Killing Floor 2 level gore please… … would make playing Phantom so much more satisfying : 3

Hold the gore 'till they bother to optimize their game? Or… or… a slider!

I can already imagine myself crawling to medic, screaming in pain and the medic just looks at me for a sec and goes: “what?”

(Jostabeere) #12

Get onto min 10 games.
Medics who don’t res are just idiots who don’t need Health insurance.

(FalC_16) #13

some of these ideas that you had OP are coming from other games…dunno 3D spotting would not fit this concept if triggered by player pushing hard some “spotting” key like in battlefield.

I like the primary/secondary melee attack though.
