Lel Tremors

Post by Sadokist » 10 Mar 2016, 15:14

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
You guys should add Tremors in the game
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Just as an end round thing. Every time a round has gone on too long we always do something to speed it up and Tremors would be hilarious and quick.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
I mean they don't need to be player controlled, just AI that basically rekts anything on the ground almost instantly by coming from underneath the marines/xeno/predators and swallowing them whole.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Just as an "we need this round to end" thing.

He's referring to a series of B-movies that try to recreate a concept from a single good monster movie from the 70/80s.

I wouldn't mind seeing a t3 drone caste that can dig underground and attack that way. Theres a few servers with code where you actually crawl through the vents and not just teleport. Could be added with a re-vamped tunnel system

I'm torn between wanting this as a round ender or having an Alien with these sort of abilities..like the chomper from GW.

What if at that time aliens/marines get some warning like"you feel something moving under your feet" or "the ground begins to shake" and an 4 hours/16:00 the madness begins?

I'd be okay with a xenomorph with this power. Decent strength, low is health, maybe even an ability to create pitfalls. Plus one anyways.

their called graboids not tremors, and the movie was released in '90 so its not really an 80s film.

Nope, nyet, nada, oya, nda, nde, k'amaj, tsaa, haw, hawaa, non, yok, ez, noka, nie, daong, ni, gara, taah, teo, guran, yaga, ei, ep, es.

In short - they don't fit the lore, and they're an automated, woefully forced solution to a problem that should be addressed from another direction.

td;dr - prevent rounds from stalling in the first place, instead of solving the stall by killing everyone.

Well why hasn't anybody suggested that then :| everytime there's admins/mods online and we go past a certain point of time they just speed it up with random shit like wizards and carp and whatnot. Graboids aren't an acception to the rule, they fit within it's confine.
