Somone really should pm a developer with a link to this thread, as it seems to have been met with universal approval.

I want a Big Red Ball!
No, no, not as power or anything, just in the game.
[censored]? u ask
lemme explain
In one zone in CoH (Talos) and one zone in CoV (Nerva) there should be a single big red ball that does absoutly nothing except when you attack it, it gets knocked back a bit. By every attack not just knockback attacks. It cant be destoryed or anything, just a Big Red Ball to hit around, thats it.
How big is big?
Well not huge. Just like 1 meter in diameter. Thats Big for a Red Ball!
The reason for just one and being in just one zone is so you dont run into it every time you log on. Maby you'll only run into it once a month or something, then youll be like "WOW! a Big Red Ball!" then you will knock it around for a few minuties laughing very hard then you will leave saying "What a cool Big Red Ball"
Whats the point?
A little extra thing like this would add tons of fun!

Hmm.. have you ever played "Biosfear"? They have something exactly like this but its a soccer field and you can score points, and stuff. (old game)
The day this goes in, is the day i don't sleep.
if you want to join the BRB bandwagon i suggest you post a signature like mine
The Big Red Ball is only a bandwagon? I thought it made it to semitruck.
1. Put it in less populated zones - ie FAULTLINE.
*OR*
2. Have it spawn in a random zone every server reboot.
BTW - found this old SNL warning label below - seem fitting to have the INFO text on the ball to be similiar...

Heck the dev's could even play a game with this. Hide the ball someplace, and see if anyone can find it. for myself I would do my darn best to place the ball on top of the highest building in the zone some morning at 2 a.m. I wonder how high it would bounce then?

If greifing is a problem for the big red ball, then use the technology from sirens call to track it across the zone like it was a bounty target.

Awesome Idea! although a big Gold ball would be better.

I want a big red ball in every zone now after reading this.
Give it some kind of odd objective beyond just knocking it around. Maybe some goal posts somewhere in the zone?

there you go. perhaps an entire field? on second thought put the goal posts on both ends of the zone. perhaps a special award if you make a goal in every zone? Exta knock back in your attacks?

I also think there should be one in each zone, but as far as goal posts I think it would best be left to the arena. That way there could be scoring and a special field. Also less chance of greifing.
Although detention field and sonic cage would be really annoying...
I think the BRB could work different ways in different zones, taking advantage of the existing architecture to make different Games.
Games... the BRB could be the latest plot of the Gamester! No one knows why it's there, but that could be revealed later, after we're all hooked on the thing like it's cheap Crack.
So yeah, different games. Hit different billboards for different points. Tall buildings side by side could work as goals. Long tunnels with points awarded to whoever gets it out the opposing end first. Ramp rolling. Troll Bowling contests. Don't get it near Nemesis, they'll pop it with their bayonets....

If this gets implemented, talos will be an even more fun place, and my scrapper is slotting for knockback.
definatly. I want a big read ball!
I would slot one attack for knockback only.

wonderful idea!!!
WoW had leather balls that was part of the crafting tree, and people would toss em around all the time. Great fun.
It gives people something to do to break up the grind and just goof around.
I only read the first two pages but here is an event to have with the ball...Thousands of different colored balls fall from the sky.
