[quote=“astoundingShellfish;43715”]I really like most of the concepts. (not so with xigen, speeder, infiltrator and hunter)
espcially the gunsligner and berzerker. hope at least on of em gets intot he game[/quote]

Good thing you like them. I would really like to have, at least some way or form these merc (concepts) in game. But before that happens (if ever… in 100 years) i am going to balance (and of course take balance feedback) these mercs.
I also try to make them all as interesting as possible with their story, appearance and gameplay.

Yeah, a cowboy would be nice :slight_smile: With some dual pistols from the farwest :slight_smile:

(omegaskorpion) #23

Every game needs some cowboy elements… or in this case cowgirl.

I made her female since there are so many freaking cowboys and very, very, very rarely any female wild west female characters.

its going to take a little while before i am albe to create Attirer, since she is realy realy hard consept both to balance and create on paper, (makes my already bad drawing skills to go to their limits)

Now before going all heck-meck about the Gunslinger :wink:

Reloading revolver can take quite some time, and the damage of any revolver can be directly tweaked by the reloadtime, I believe.

Take a look a free game called “Fistful of Frags”.

This game has almost “all” Revolvers like a Richard Mason-conversion Colt Navy 1851, the Colt Peacemaker, Colt Walker, Smith and Wesson No 3/Schofield, etc.
And they’re all balanced by their reloadtime.

Now take a look at how the 1851 is reloaded. Quite fast actually, because this revolver the lower damage in the game of any revolver.

Now there’s the Walker that almost always onehitkills people, if you hit. And that’s a pretty big if, because this gun’s fairly inaccurate and has a sloooow rate of fire.
But the power is balanced out by the reload-time, which is just insane.

Well, i can say that my inspiration for this merc comes from: Guns Of Juarez: Gunslinger

Which is pretty fast paced game and in the start of the game the reload speed is fast but after few upgrades the reload speed is on steroids.

In this game the “Ranger” is pretty much the colt navy, or the other similiar weapons since when i looked at wiki there were just too many variants of same weapon system but with slight or notable differences (and the fact that they are cadridge versions of the older models)

Now since dirty bomb is fast paced game i would expect that gunslinger would have “fast reload” (in what point of view we look at since compared to other weapons its still slow)
And the revolver would be at “ok” fire speed since she dual wields them. However i think she would use colt navy, since the Walker is pretty ###ing slow to reload.

(i noticed the differences between these revolvers AFTER i had posted her… so that kinda ##### it up :confused: )

Here’s a great idea for Riot: Placing the riot shield down for cover for team/etc etc (and can be shot down/kicked down etc.) Just like a meat shield in Gears of War.

(RadicalMac) #28

Also I notice a lot of female character ideas from you lol. I would literally NEVER expect a female gunslinger. I’d expect the look of John Marston (RD:R) or Erron Black (MKX) and to be male.

(omegaskorpion) #29

Its not realy that good idea, the merc, turtle already places shields to ground to block areas and to defend team.

He is also seen in the SCRUBS trailer ( 1:30 )

I made Riot as more mobile/offencive variant of turtle. (also a Finish)

I desided to make equal number of females and males (6/6).
I also thinked that its overly used in games and movies that gunslingers are always males, so female would give things a better spin.
Inspiration came from movies where Clint Eastwood has a role and from Silas Greaves from Guns Of Juarez Gunslinger. The exeption is that they are males, while gunslinger is not. (also un-cowboy like, she is a medic)

(RadicalMac) #30

Hm. I never payed mind to that character in the trailer lol. Never knew that was already a thing in Dirty Bomb. Interesting.

(omegaskorpion) #31

Well as for the future i will list here the already planned/unreleased/next to re-released mercs:

Turtle

Javelin
(there is not currently any pictures about him/her)

What i know, he/she can shoot rockets and even control them.

Some mercs have videos about them in the youtube from the early alpha.

(RadicalMac) #32

I knew about all of those except for Turtle & Javelin.

(omegaskorpion) #33

Javelin is pretty much shrouded in mystery, since he was only mentioned by developers. However some player managed to find Javelins rocket launcher and hands in the game.
However i have no idea where that picture is. (also it did not have any other color than grey, exepth the map was in all its colors)

(RadicalMac) #34

im guessing an untextured skin.

(omegaskorpion) #35

Yeah, i gues that they have made him/her up to some point, but there is no information about him/her outside the untextured hands and rocket launcher, perhaps they were ingame testing him/her and made hands and rocket launcher first but not the whole body.

I would like to see more about Javelin in the future IF he/she is still in the works.

(omegaskorpion) #36

Attirer finaly has Consept art. (be that good or bad thing)

(omegaskorpion) #37

Most of the Consept art has been updated.

(RadicalMac) #38

I just noticed how the gunslinger has a TAN. And is from CANADA. lolfunnym80. Also I like how the “Speeder” is from South Africa which is the only country in Africa where there are more whites than there are Africans.

(omegaskorpion) #39

well… i realy dont find any good sentence here…

but about Speeder, While there are more whites in Sounth Africa it does not mean that there isn’t any Africans XD

(Koyotea) #40

i give you kudos for creativity, but the only viable classes would be Riot or Xygen, the rest are way overpowered. like what ThaiSan said, you need to think about balancing, the mercs can’t be too powerful and need a good counter.
