Dear Devs, Wrel etc. I've got some more interesting ideas for class abilities and this one is for Light Assault. Allow Light Assaults to carry a passenger (non MAX) but it burns more fuel. This would give tactical uses for Light Assault by carrying other classes into other areas they cannot reach by normal means. This cannot be without risk as the Light Assault is unable to fire while carrying a friend. Suggestions: 1. Light Assault Passenger ability requires interacting with the target player + confirmation 2. Light Assault can carry one player (non MAX) but it burns more fuel. 3. Light Assault cannot fire while carrying a player but passenger can fire using a sidearm pistol etc. 4. Light Assault ping on the mini map is greatly increased with a passenger (jets are also louder) Just another idea I had tell me what you guys think!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo Giving the LA tools that basically make the LA obsolete is a bad idea. Any transport that the LA would perform should be his own transport, not that of others. There's tons of tools and things that you can give the LA to enhance his capabilities. I've listed a few here: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/ps2/index.php?threads/la-tools.243946/ And those things are just utility-oriented.
This does not make the LA obsolete in fact it gives them even more viability. Players will specifically request the help of a LA if this is implemented. The tactical choices and potential are huge. Player interaction will be increased significantly as well.
everytime someone posts a new adition idea. every single time. you are so toxic, all you do is complain, throw poison to other's contributions. and no, you wont just tell your word and let the post continue, no, you gotta make a damn wall of text so we think you are important or something. srsly shut the hell up, some of us here are bored with your behaviour. If you're not gonna bring anything positive go drink some bleach. If you still feel like you have right to talk here could you please explain to me why the OP's idea is so bad? why this would make the LA obsolete? you don't even read what people posts, you don't consider nothing that isn't inside your basic conceptions. if someone posts about the same topic you did, they're contribution is worthless, and your's and only your's is the one with value. The only change I've seen you suggesting is: uhhh, please buff my tank.... you miserable mouthbreather... this was a great idea Dorin, keep it up !
Could eight LA maybe pull a Harrasser full of C4 presents through the air during the seasonal event? Ho Ho Ho
Sorry but I think this is a bad idea. As Demigan noted, it would detract from the LA. Currently LAs have a mobility advantage to move to superior positions. Although this has many drawbacks like often being out of range of medics, the advantages can lead to the breaking of enemy lines. Bringing people along would reduce that advantage. Suddenly HA can dominate the rooftops with medics as support, making some positions way too strong. Even worse: engineers can use turrets to create neigh impregnable positions. There are a few advantages, like better able to be reached by medics, but overall the class would be dwarfed in usefulness on rooftops. Only empty or LA occupied rooftops would yield their normal advantages, but overall a part of the LA's usefulness is reduced to ferrying people and by ferrying people.
Being able to transport others is one of those ideas that sounds fun and novel; however in live game-play it would turn out horrible. LA would be relegated to a human elevator which would be more frustrating than fun (imagine receiving tells from other players constantly for lifts?)
I'd rather not be demoted to the role of human elevator while also losing the rooftop advantaged to other classes.
I tried to ride piggyback on a light assault once. My jimmy got roasted clean off. I had to finish myself off with my pistol and respawn to get it back.
