The Assault Rifle
..and I noticed a few spelling errors in your post,Sharker.
So what am I to do here?....
Oh wait,i know!
I will just play the game for a month or two,after the newness of this post dies down,and.....
You will bring it back up again,and acquire all the credit for this?
hello....spaces after commas. or were you not awake for that? and no, i won't, nor will anyone else who has said no to this, be bringing it back up.
*whispers*..There were spelling errors in your post before your last one...
What of my commas?They look fine to me,sir.
if you looked, i changed the erros. and in the english language, spaces come after the comma.

It is perhaps belaboring the obvious to point out that written English also has rules for the use of capital letters.
And it is also perhaps belaboring the obvious to note that capital letters appear not in your post criticizing the use, or lack thereof, of spaces after commas.
Oh, and Mister Pot? Yes, you are right; that kettle is indeed black. We noticed.
There it is again,Sharker.."Erros"It's "Errors"
I'm sorry,sir.
well since this has come down to a spelling error thread i guess you see the point as to why this won't get taken seriously. and who gives a rats [censored] if i don't use capitol letters on the internet. if you can'ttake people telling you why this is a bad idea, then stop posting them.

Whoa whoa WHOA! It's okay not to capitalize anything because it is the internet... but not ok to improperly use a comma?!
Hypocrite, much?
At any rate, I don't particularily like the OP's ideas... but I DO like the idea that was brought up up-thread to allow existing blast sets to have a gun (rifle, pistol, whatever) chosen as a part of the animation/emenation point. Now THAT would get the OP his different rifle types AND be usable by more than one powerset. Pure win of an idea.
What makes much more sense is switching to an Assault Rifle (or other appropriate gun) as the emanation point of any other Blast set, rather than making them subsets of AR.
Of course, this is essentially Tier 2 or 3 Power Customization, which we don't know is feasible/possible yet. |
fire guns energy guns etc
By animations I mean the emanation point for the powers already being from the barrel of a gun.

You know what I'd rather see for Assault Rifle.
Now this may be a tad too advanced right now (we have selectable animations for various powers so I'm unsure exactly how feasible this is or not).
I'd love to do the whole 'FPS weapon range' thing, it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense for one rifle to do everything from a single shot to firing a rocket (if you have Munitions).
So the options for the various powers becomes keeping the original in (for those that hate the redraw this would lead to...) and with a different option, each option would also allow for weapon customisation within that pool.
Burst:
Dual pistols (same animation as the cone attack from the MM thugs pistol set but single target).
Slug:
Carbine (Musket, Western, Modern).
Buckshot:
Shotgun (pump, Jackhammer auto-shotgun, double barrelled, sawn off).
M30 Grenade:
Grenade launcher (one shot single tube, rotating cartridge version ala TF2 Demo man).
Beanbag:
Shotgun (same models).
Sniper Rifle:
name says it all (Musket, Dragunov lookalike, Barrett M107 lookalike, current sniper rifle option).
Flamethrower and Ignite:
Flamethrower (one we have ingame now as a temp weapon/used by Longbow Flamethrowers, oldschool WW2 style flamethrower).
Full Auto:
Minigun (Longbow/council/5th column minigun, Nemesis smaller minigun).
Muntions mastery:
Cryo-Freeze ray:
Mastermind pulse rifle options.
LRM:
Missile launcher (used by the Council/5th Column).
That I would really love because it gives a proper kind of 'tooled up' style of weapon user (along with the standard question of 'where do you store all this' which has haunted FPS since Wolfenstien 3D but it's a comic book game...who cares...)

{The following quote has been heavily modified}
*Assault Rifle -Lazer Rifle {Moderate Energy/ Minor Fire (burns holes in things), some -Def or -Res} -Ice Rifle (as Ice Blast) -Fire Rifle (as Fire Blast) Wouldn't this just be a Flamethrower? -Energy Rifle (as Energy Blast?) -Electric Rifle (as Electric Blast) -Thunder Rifle (Sonic-type animations, but louder booms? Chance to Stun) -Bubble Rifle ??? <----What is this? -Sonic Rifle (As Sonic Blast) -Standard Ammunition |
Basicly, you have new powersets, some of which are copied from existing ones, under the Assault Rifle heading.
For some of them, you would be just changing the animation of an existing set.
Do you wish to be able to change your existing character to switch to these sets, much like switching builds? That's a whole other can of worms I won't go into.
the best solution is like on the last page, have fire blast energy blast etc as normal but allow them to have gun models muwaha
learn to use spaces after punctuation. and i don't see your name in red letters which means that you don't know this will happen. and the naysayers will not bring it back up again. why you ask? because we do not suffer from delusions of grandeur. just accept the fact that this was a bad idea, just like most if not all of your others, and move on. kthxbai.
edit: 2 words that samson told me i spelled wrong. even though he still can't grasp the concept of putting spaces after commas.
