Dev/Fan Feature Priority

[Amerikaner]

Ok I was just wondering what the dev feature priority list is. The poll is for what the fans think is most important. Please dont discuss bug fixes, optimizations, etc. Everyone knows they exist and they usually always take top priority.

---------------------------------------------------

My most wanted: New Respawn/Fear of Death (incentives to play realistically). This has been discussed basically since RO was first introduced years ago. RO has all the realistic features and all the options available to the player to have the most realistic battles possible but the players have to use those tools realistically and there has never been much of an incentive. Theres been some great ideas thrown around in the suggestions thread such as negative points for dieing, limited number of lives etc.

From my experience, the fun factor increases tenfold when playing realistically and this rarely ever happens in pub play. For example, having objectives like defending areas and not leaving and not ramboing into the open such as in Battle for Europe make for the most intense moments. You dont just run out, die, respawn, run out die, and repeat. When you value your life more the playstyle is so much more rewarding. There is no reason why this shouldnt happen in pubplay.

I agree with Amerikaner. The "no fear" of not dying does take away from the realistic game play. One life might work....it could even work with tanks...boy those tankers would really be more carefull then. The idea of taking points away for every life you lose is another one which people might accept more readily. Anyway, the game will remain gamey as long as you can use as many lives as you want. I don't have a good answer yet are there other ideas besides these two that Amerikaner suggested?

Two things:

- More maps:
the retail set of maps is very high standard and I would love to see many more of those. Especially of the combined arms variety.

- Actions taking time:
actions like: getting in/out tanks, opening doors, picking up stuff; they should have animations and take time like reloading, instead of magically happening.

WEAPONS WEAPONS WEAPONS WEAPONS!!!

On a more serious note i would like to see some more countires soldiers involved like the Finnish and Romanians etc

 

[SOAD]

gotta be tanks fixed for me

 

[Johnny555]

Limiting the number of lives might be a good idea. Although I can see people just leaving the server when they lose all their lives.

Perhaps a 1pt loss for your first death, that increases by 1pt for every following death.

I can see some people wanting to get the lowest possible minus score though.

 

[Yoshiro]

You'll see our list when we put it togeather for the public to view. Keep in mind though that list is subject to change on our whim

 

[Heinz]

fixed tank stuff. can't wait!!

 

[Oleg]

I am pretty happy with the game as it is, but from this list I'd pick mantling/climbing as my favorite (new) feature/fix/whatever

 

[pluke]

Tank Riding

Tank Riding

The ability to leap on a tank and ride into battle, save the walk. That would make my day

 

[Tomcat_ha]

I really hate the prone bugs but i heared ramm is working on it.

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

You forgot to add advanced commander functions/abilities.

 

[Solo4114]

1.) Fixed tank penetration system (I hear they're working on this anyway).

2.) Honestly, I'd like Melee fixed. I prefer how it worked in the mod, to be honest. The bayonet aspect is cool, but the riflebutt thing is just...off.

3.) New weapons, maps, etc. Keep things fresh.

agree

 

[trench]

i think they should be working on drinking beer and laughing all the way to the bank... then make the way to the clinic to get those "fever blisters" looked at.

 

[druid]

What exactly is the shouldered weapon? Is it a change of the jogging animation, or a change in the free aim mechanism (or both)? Because my only big complaint about this game is that players look like robots when running .

 

[radish]

The shouldered weapon feature is where you put the weapon up to your should, but don't look down the sights. Its basically a mix between the open view of hipping and increased accuracy of ironsights.

On topic though, I'd love to see climbing/mantling put ingame. Having to walk around dinky fences is annoying.

 

[[TW]schneidzekk]

The melee system isn't broken, so it can't be fixed. It is different, adjust to your needs would be a better option.

 

[Solo4114]

Yeah "broken/fixed" is the wrong categorization. Changed would be more like it. Right now it seems somehow off, though I can't put my finger on how. Just out of curiosity, why'd you guys change it from how it was in the mod?

 

[Amerikaner]

The melee system isn't broken, so it can't be fixed. It is different, adjust to your needs would be a better option.

Thats not the point. I dont believe dancing and bouncing around an opponent while having your melee attacks repeatedly miss at point blank range is the proper implementation of melee combat. Whether you call it broke, clumsy, worse than the mod etc. doesnt matter in the least.

And its not a matter of "need". RO strives for realism, this feature is far from realistic. If I wanted to go punch someone in the face, me or my opponent would connect within the first seconds of contact; our fists would not slide off each other's faces for an indefinite amount of time.

Please take criticism for what it is. Im not attacking, just pointing out a well known flawed feature.

BTW, if you really do believe I "need" melee fighting to be changed because I suck at the current system, I would absoluteley love to challenge you. Id be willing to bet If I dont win, the score would be close to a tie because the current system is very luck-based.
