New Perk: Tech / Robotics

[sabuteur]

I thought this would be a pretty cool perk; I just love building things and getting a more tactical hold on the game I'm playing..

Here are some ideas;
The Tech Perk would specialize in things like turrets and drones, maybe even a few unique stations like a medbay type thing (Preferred just drones and turrets, stations just another idea)
He could have a few submachine gun type weapons for normal firearms, like an MP5, MP7, and upgrade to a P90..
I thought of a small machine gun turret.. Eventually you could get a more advanced minigun turret?
I also thought it would be neat if you could have a drone as well as a turret, it would fly around and follow you, firing on the closest target..
Of course the turret and drone would take up a lot of space, so you would have to rely on those submachine guns..
Oh, possible to fix the turret / drone with the welder, maybe?

I just love turrets and building things.. Like the mod for killing floor has a few neat turrets, and I think it would draw more players, especially fans of Engineer-esque classes like in TF2, I know I would start playing more!

 

[armando92]

and then we change the name of the game to Killing Fortress 2?. -1 to this
i know that people like tf2, i liked it too in the past because it was simple but addictive but now he is full of s*** and there is soo many things that made him s**k, adding more things to kf only are going to kill kf and made a comercial sh** of him just like wow o tf2

Enough of this crap , this is not TF2 and it'll never be. Know why? Because KF is a GOOD game , not like that ****ty little game called TF2.( I played it , and it sucks badly)

I agree. Why on Gods green earth would you even think of adding a turret?? So it can be more like TF2? So the game can be so easy?

Imagine a team of 6 players all 6tech. . . standing behind a row of minigun turrets.

Also ever think of balance?


I see it is your first post, so ill give you a link for an idea helper so the community wont get to annoyed, also try searching. This idea was brought up before.

Besides that welcome to the forums.

EDIT: Heres the like to help form your ideas.

Killing Floor come with the mod Defence Alliance if you want to use gun turrets.

AND TF2 DOES NOT SUCK

Well, I have to say that it just doesn't balance quite right. However, if you want a mod of KF that has turrets, you can try Defense Alliance II. In KF, however, I am afraid that it is difficult to balance, and could be combined with a good spot with an almost exploitive end result.

Good try though, and keep on posting

You are correct, it is a fun game. However, I would like you to kindly stop posting the equivalent to flame bait. This isn't personal here, if someone doesn't like it, it is that simple. They may or may not suck at it, it could be personal preference.

But coming from a consistently posting member, I thought you would have learned to keep these debates from going personal. Trolls do that, and we are not trolls.

Except for Timur, you other guys responded in epic ***-hole fashion to a first time poster on KF forums; that is a sure way relfecting our community as a bunch of high-nose twats.

I don't like the idea either, I think it simply would not fit the game for reasons so elegantly articulated by others.

I kicked the *** of a lot of people using the Scout , I HATE IT CAUSE OF THE STUPID OFFERS OF HATS AND ALL THE STUFF THEY ADD THAT MAKES THE GAME EVEN MORE STUPID AND CHILDISH.
Nuff said.

How are hats and other in-game collectibles childish? I suggest you go and rage on the Steam TF2 forums.

Anyway, @OP, the idea of turrets and drones have been suggested a good few times and while it will be fun for just a while, when you look at the way KF has been built, turrets will soon become an exploit and just make the game far too easy, taking away the challenge and soon, the fun. The same way as the Crossbow and the Pipebombs did before the balance patch.

Turrets? no, just no. deployables? maybe, like a bear trap, or maybe a motorized spinning blade. But anything past a range of an explosion is a no go.

God damn chill man. Everyone has their opinions about games. But, I agree no turrets. That's so OP and cheap.

 

[Tumbs!]

For god's sake stop fighting for TF2, this is KF and no more. If you keep talking about TF2 the VALVe fans sure write in their forums "KF forum sucks" because we are talking bad about TF2. NAd i don't know if is a good idea, i prefer the

I don't know all too much about that. It seems that finally people may be warming up to the idea of being nice to newcomers, as was the norm a while back. No matter the case, I'm sure that some of us will continue to be nice, and others will continue to be mean.

That doesn't mean "Everybody agree with stupid ideas as long as they are from a new guy" it just means to welcome them and respectfully and calmly tell them you disagree.

The new people to the forums form this year where greeted warmly but idea thread and idea thread was bashed and many of the new members do the same to newer threads, but in a less tackful manner. Instead of saying:

While such an idea worked in TF2 (since TF2 is the only game with turrets and engineers) the survival and tension aspect of Killing Floor does not mesh well with immobile point-and-kill turrets. Even with proper balancing, which would be difficult in itself, the weapon would likely not feel integrated into the game.

They say:

I agree. Why on Gods green earth would you even think of adding a turret?? So it can be more like TF2? So the game can be so easy?

Imagine a team of 6 players all 6tech. . . standing behind a row of minigun turrets.

Which is, for all intents and purposes, the same but speaks on the issues with the idea and why it doesn't work (which can be addressed by the original poster) rather than attacking the poster themselves (which is not constructive). Addressing the poster is only helpful in cases where they don't listen to criticism or their posting style is not helpful (searching or wall of text).

No idea is inherently bad based on where it originated but can be a bad idea based on perception of said idea, it's use in other games, and how the idea would interact with this game.

If I was seen as a little harsh please forgive me. I will be a bit nicer and constructive with how I post on new peoples ideas.

We all get annoyed on occaison by ideas that just really don't seem right; hell, I got an infraction a long time ago for being angry at the 65 millionth "firebug weapon nowz" thread. But we realize we are being a tad harsh, and we change. So you are certainly forgiven, as is anyone who realizes such things, and decides to fix it
