i was just sitting here thinking how awesome it would be to have mechs in the game i mean it is suppose to be the future and mechs would be awesome as end type vehicle's ^^ just thinking.. doubt it can come though would require quite a lot i guess, but could be pretty awesome ^^
Trust me while the idea sounds cool having one super overpowered vehicle in the game is not a good idea. Believe me they tried it before and it was awful.
... ouch You're probably new to the franchise, so you might not know there were 'mechs' in PS1 and they totally screwed up game balance and led to a ton of people leaving the game. Mechs are not well recieved in this community and you should dive for your flame ******ant suit immediately. I wish you the best of luck.
When SOE did them in PS1 it ruined and unbalanced the game. Might happen to PS2 as well. But hey, we're gonna have huge flying carrier ships!
well i didnt want it to be super overpowered, you could even give it less firepower but more movability then the current vehicle's. give it another role then what we see. or make it an extra kinda "max" unit, which is bigger and more mech like with higher firepower then a max but with less manouverbility(essentially able to be kited by something running around it) ^^ would just be really cool with a full mech looking unit
People don't have any problem with giant flying battle fortress carriers - but the second you mention anything remotely similar to the BFR mechs from PS1, the poop hits the fan.
When they were balanced properly and nothing like as strong as when they were first introduced they were fine .....it was great to see them on the batttlefield and I miss seeing them in PS2. They were only a threat in the hands of a skilled driver, and even then they could be made to retreat very quickly ...in the hands of a noob they died in seconds. As long as they are hard to get, and have long cool down so they are pretty rare...i.e we dont see BFR spam they will not unbalance the game. Over time we are going to need new toys.....BFR's are just essential to any PS sequel. I never drove one so I'm not someone that just wants to 'pwn' in them.....I just liked seeing them, the added dimension they brought to the game. Hopefully'...they are 'inevitable' at some point.
Mechs would have to be balanced. Maybe as slightly different than tanks, either more heavily armored with less damage or more damaging and less heavily armored. They'd be cool but I also think they'd be redundant currently.
There are mechs in game already. I've seen a Juan, a Julio, even a Maria. /ducking Sorry, I'm trying to be a mechs I can, and not a mechs I cant'.
well we all know how balanced super capitals are in eve online kinda reminds me of that when i read about this super carrier thing xD as said you could make them super weak compared to what people are use too, or super nimble and fast, but too big for small buildings to enter, and with lower firepower then a tank, something like an anti tank thing maybe or something. it would just be awesome to have a mech
max units are this somehow.. just bigger max with special purpose is maybe what u want but yes i liked the mechs in 2142 - and their weakness spot
Cry babies from PS1 who didn't have the qualification to pilot a BFR right from the get go.... BFR's were great. Not Everyone could pilot them (as i recall you needed to have a specific Battle Rank to do that) and used to cost quite a bit, not to mention it took ages for anyone to regenerate one.
Eh well if we're asking for silly stuff that probably won't happen then I want a 3 man artillery piece, 1 guy drives/deploys, another guy aims and attacks using a tactical map that shows spotted targets withing range, another manning a heavy machine gun. the scary part about this is I've had worse Ideas.
