Fix Busted Ass Piano

Post by zskninoh » 27 Sep 2016, 08:41

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): This would essentially detail an unscathed version of the piano to be placed in the place of the inoperable one on the LV-624 map.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): This would allow MIDI masters to play top notch quality music in the background of the FOB, which should in theory boost morale, and give the marines stationed on FOB duty something to do.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): This would allow MIDI masters to play top notch quality music in the background of the FOB, which should in theory boost morale, and give the marines stationed on FOB duty something to do.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Replace spawns.

+1 from me, its a bit of fun, the model already exists in game, and apart from being cool and able to play music, it provides no tactical advantages

The last time we had the paino playable was when it was early alpha, people dragged a piano to the Sulaco during a defeat rather than marines.....

And the violin was annoying as fuck.

No way.

We use to have a working one there and then we had to break it.

Yeah the sound of the piano is too annoying to the points that i'd rather mute the game even when i lose the ability to hear xenos and gunshtos than hearing it, -1

I remember a sulaco defense where I was laying injured on the floor when we fell back, and the marine next to me heard my screams, went in guns blazing and took the piano...-1

+1 because I like music, but judging from the overall opinion maybe you can tweak the suggestion?

I have an idea on how to make this work.
1. Replace the soundboard, using wood.
2. Fix the strings, using cable coil.
3. Tune the strings with a screwdriver, which will take around 15-30 seconds.
4. Create a prop for the cover of the piano to stand on, using a wooden baseball bat.
5. Fix the bolts and the like allowing for transportation, using a wrench. Process will take at least 10 seconds. Twenty-five, tops.
6. Finally, give the keys a crash course. The process will take 30 to 40 seconds and can possibly fail, forcing a repair that will last 10 seconds.

If the piano playing is REALLY obnoxious, then make it so that if the repair person is interrupted during the process, they have to do that step again.

I saw a guy playing the piano on ice colony. It was pretty neat. There is some merit in this.

+1, I love the midis they play with the piano and adds some fun to the rounds at the fob.
