Truuuue that...this thread hasn't really been seeing any proper game-based activity for a while, so let's how the update gives us something "proper" to harp on about.
By the way Parcheesy, weren't you going to make another video featuring Mantis or something? Just to be safe, I'm starting to think we could use a separate video thread in the Players' Group if there are a few of us who want to record and upload Youtubes. Self-promotion which isn't relevant to the thread's current discussion is a potentially bannable offence, and I daresay my last post may have crossed that line. All the same, don't let me discourage you if you still want to post your work here ----------------- Would anyone here like to see some sort of back-to-back boss mode? As in, a mode without an alien rush, but you face the main bosses one after another without a chance to restock your items until you either die or defeat them all. I think it'd be an interesting challenge, given how this community is quite fond of its hyper clips
lets think of ideas they should include in the next update, I got one: A bow that costs gold but is weaker than the trinity and shoots two arrows
It isn't a bad game, I've played roughly an hour or two a while back, and the game mechanics aren't amazing, and the battle mechanics the same, but it's enough of an RPG to qualify as "good" or "above average" in the RP market.
It arcs randomly not nessecarily at another enemy. The beam lasts for 2 arcs. Firerate is kind of slow 0.40 at power 300 and -1 speed. Ok weapon that arcs.
I wouldn't mind some type of gravity gun/grenade, actually...as in, if you hit one enemy with it, nearby surrounding enemies are somewhat pulled towards the affected one (they can resist the pull, but they'll still be gradually drawn towards the center), making explosive and laser weapons particularly effective at racking up combos from the resulting cluster. I'm thinking that could be something particularly useful if new, faster aliens are introduced, because then you could use it to slow down the faster ones. They'll probably break out of it more quickly, but still a way of staggering the waves, possibly. ------------- Btw JediKnight, what exactly IS the Zapper? I've read various descriptions of it, and I can't tell whether it's a gun or some type of sword, though it sounds like a gun from your latest description.
Now might be a good time to suggest it to Freyr via email, if you guys are thinking of in-game voice chatting In the meantime...do either of you remember that "Mumble"/voice-chat thing I was harping on about? I still have the servers, but the first test results offered by Sheinfell and Gluey indicate that the European servers weren't too good. I've got some servers based in the states too, though I haven't checked those for a good month or two now.
...ah. That'd be a reason AGAINST implementing voice-chatting in this game without some sort of friend-list/personal blacklist system: imagine the amount of trolling and flaming that would happen if randoms could yell at each other...
