HAPPY TURKYE DAY!

I have everything ready, my red crescent and star flag, my "kiss me I'm suni" t-shirt, my "black sea beaches for singles" guide book, My list of "things to do while waiting ten years to get into the EU", a box of... wait, turkey the bird!?!

Now what am I going to do with all these ottomans!

Here is my new skin. It is megatron from the transformers cartoon gen1.

thanks to sha for urging me to hunt down and post a skin.

Not even close. Redeemer is a weapon. It has more power then other weapons but it has only 1 shot and can be denied (shot down). You need some skills to use it properly - guided or unguided.

Ultima is a RPG skill that requires a long time to acquire and you need to DIE so it would go off. Dying isn't exactly free kill.

turrets are also weapons, have less power than a deemer and can be destroyed. you need some skill to get the required adrenalin to use it and more still to place it in a good spot.

When you use ultima you "are not there" eather so i thought it related to your quote.

Monsters and turrets are free kills, not skills so I'm against them.

wouldent that make an unguided deemer and ultima a free kill too?

you know what... making a turret may not be so hard after all. perhaps you could change monster skins to somthing turret looking and reduce there rate of movement to zero or as close to it as you can get (like .000001 of normal).

just thinking out loud.

I too quite like the idea of turrets.
However, I would make the suggestion that people don't really gain any battle experience from what their turret is doing, because they are probably not there.
So, have turrets, but the deploying player doesn't get any XP from them.

if thats the case why gain XP from pets? or even mines? you should gain XP from turrets but at a reduced rate, say 1/2 of the normal rate.

as far as deploying on cars in onslaut, why not? A turret should deploy on any surface that it lands on.

I'm not a big fan of turrets because they encourage people to place the turrets and then just hide, doing nothing. The turrets shouldn't be too powerful for sure. It's really sad when 10 people all stack their turrets together at a choke point and just hang back letting the monsters walk into the killing field.

I do like the occassional warlord on more open maps, but the tide seems to be against them.

I could see the turret stacking as being a problem but 1. How is that different from stacking mines and 2. If a proper balance of turret health/ damage is found a well placed titan rock could wipe out 2 or 3 turrets in one throw. dru's anti-camper already makes camping/hiding a non-issue. So long as monsters see turrets as other players and attack them they are just as fair game as any monster pet is now.

Perhaps some other ideas should come into the fray? Any other ideas for turrets out there? Perhaps they should only be castable with 101 adrenalin and a random chance of the weapon on them?

Maybe they should only have the sniper rifle on them with and the amount of adrenalin determaming the health/damage? (EX: a turret cast with 33 adrenalin would only have 1/3 the health of a turret cast w/ 100 adrenalin?)

OMG it's a mental free for all! cats and dogs living together! mass hyestera!

My 2cW are in another area.

See my post in "Monster Master, similar to Loaded Artifacts or Loaded Weapons" under Druis RPG

i posted my 2 cents there as well. The idea of pets is cool but the function is kinda ... not good.

replace pets with turrets, the more XP the more powerful.

EX: 25 adrenilen = double assult rifle
25-50 single shock
50-75 single flak
75-100 double shock
100-125 double mini
125+ double flak.

there small so you can jump over them, have hitpoints like a monster and DO NOT MOVE!! of course this may require too much codeing so meh.

I just was on this map for the first time. i went into a cabin via a door. the door closed behind me and would not open. becouse no monsters could get me i was out of bounds and the countdown started..... then ran out!!

If possable remove the doors or the map itself. for a well intentioned player that is just expoleing this could be a trap and if no more warnings are given well then..... bad things happen.

p.s. could i have my warning back?.... and mabye some stat points

it is the next skill i want after resuply. would you say the boom is bigger or smaller than a deemer?

four words. new egg dot com.

A friend of mine (who is part surrealist and partly insane) came up with these (I think):

Q:you are flying across the north pole in your row boat and you get a flat tire. How many pancakes does it take to fix the flat tire?

A: blue, because ice cream has no bones.

Q: now many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?

A: none if the bathtub is full of painted chipmunks.

pardon my stupidity but can someone explain "out of bounds" and "off the map"
