Random Ideas I'd Like to See in Dirty Bomb

(Muddy Muddy Mud Nade) #1

The title explains it all. I’ll probably add more of these in the comments as time goes on.

FESTIVE MERC ABILITIES
Yeah, it’s basically a straight up copy of TF2 Festivized Weapons, but I’d like to see it still. Its not like SD has a problem with copying other games cough CSGO cough
Here’s an example of what a Festivized weapon in TF2 looks like
So, here’s what they would be for Dirty Bomb:

  • Aimee: Festivized SNITCH Device (Kinda sucks that you wouldn’t be able to look at it very often unless you just hold onto it)
  • Arty: Festivized Artillery Designator
  • Aura: Festivized Health Station
  • Bushwhacker: Festivized Turret (wouldn’t that just look cool?)
  • Fletcher: Festivized Sticky Bombs
  • Fragger: Fesitivized Frag Grenades (“Eat Fruitcake!”)
  • Guardian: Festivized Sky Shield ([insert Santa’s Sleigh joke])
  • Javelin: Festivized Rocket Launcher
  • Kira: Fesitivized Orbital Designator
  • Nader: Festivized Grenade Launcher
  • Phantom: Festivized… Armband Thingy that Turns him Invisible? I dunno, it can’t be the katana or cricket bat, and he doesn’t actually ever hold anything, ability wise, so… yeah.
  • Phoenix: Festivized… Left Hand? Kinda the same thing with Phantom, he doesn’t REALLY hold anything. It could be his whole body, considering he Self-Revives.
  • Proxy: Festivized Proximity Mines (I wonder if the blinking lights would cause any big change, gameplay wise)
  • Red Eye: Festivized Smoke Grenade (I was thinking IR Goggles, but you wouldn’t really be able to see that)
  • Rhino: Festivized Minigun (make the Heavy proud)
  • Sawbonez: Festivized Health Packs
  • Skyhammer: Festivized Airstrike Marker
  • Sparks: Festivized REVIVE Gun (that would look SO cool)
  • Stoker: Festivized Molotov Grenade
  • Thunder: Festivized Concussion Grenade
  • Turtle: Festivized Deployable Shield
  • Vassili: Festivized Heartbeat Sensor

I suppose Hunter would have a Festivized Crossbow, or something.

More Lore Stuff
Maybe interactions between mercs, like between Phoenix and Turtle or between Fragger and Vassili. More comics would be nice, too.

GIVE US MELEE SKINS, DAMMIT
Please.

I still hold to the idea that they’ve already crossed the “realism” line and should just go for the fun and ridiculous type skins that change merc looks as well. Overwatch has this down pat and I think Dirty Bomb could benefit by introducing merc skins not as extreme as Overwatch’s but still something different. They already have some good personality going on the mercs currently in the game with the special taunts, I think more personality would never hurt!

I find it weird that people just toss around disagrees without giving a reason why they disagree. This is a forum, it’s for discussion, lol.

I think christmas lights might be a bit much personally. I really want them to add skins or potentially minor mesh changes to deployables, but christmas lights are too obvious of a TF2 ripoff, and they seem a bit too far over that realism line. Obviously the game isn’t realistic, but it’s not completely cartoony either, there’s a balance in between. And imo, christmas lights just don’t fit into that balance.

maybe the festive proxy mines could have their beeping sound like the jingle bells song instead of the usual beep beep

I can see this working with Fragger quoting Die Hard’s “Now I have a machine gun. Ho-ho-ho!”.

After all, Fragger already looks like Santa Claus for the most part.

More stuff I’d like to see:
Melee Weapon Skins
I’d actually like these to be level up rewards. Since the whole Arsenal Crate thing is a “please don’t give me a Weapon Kit” Simulator, I’d like to see more rewards for leveling up, at least for higher level players. Like once you get past level 45 or something you gain a new currency system that can be used to purchase melee skins, and you could earn a certain amount of this currency for each level up after level 45. You could go from like bronze to cobalt, and have obsidian skins for ranked rewards.
Fun Fact: Phantom’s Obsidian skins are the only skins in the entire game that changes the way a melee weapon looks (the orange highlights on the katana)
