[gastew15]

Sweet, looking forward to the updates. As for the website perhaps try for more of a clean cut look with more straight defined lines. All the websites I've done anything recently as well as logos and stuff have fallowed that lately. (Feel free to disregard all of that, just giving some suggestions)

Cool, If you want any suggestions or whatever just howl. 

I dare call myself a Veteran when it comes to Games, Alphas/betas testing and whatnot

[AlexGoesHigh]

read the whole thing today and i like it 

 

what i like the most is the mechanics your planning, TPS whit parkour and very flexible movement sounds amazing, for a second, it sounds like gears of wars + assassin creed

 

though you haven't mentioned very much about the story, probably because you don't want to spoil it but i have a very few ideas that id like to PM you if you are interested

 

also can i join the testers program if possible

[Volbet]

For the website I would recommend a minimalistic design, Like the one on the Microsoft website, but of course designed for your specific need. I think this would really help create a modern feel to the website. This is just my two cents anyway. 

 

I'm impressed at how fast this is going and I'm looking forward to february 9th.

So im trying to plan out the Armour balance using a point system.

Thoughts on the Tier 1 Armour balance? trying to Cap the total points for each Armour Tier.

Higher Points means better (example: Higher Armour means more damage resistance and so on)

 

Feedback will be nice.

What does the numbers mean? I woudl really like to give some feedback, but I need more information.

Higher points means better, lower means worse. its just a visual representation that i will later convert in to code.

Seems like a scout would have less armor than a typical assault guy, and be able to move quicker. It also seems strange that a giant heavy guy with more armor, and probably bigger actually can move more than a scout, and have the same agility.. I also feel that the heavy guy being quieter than an assault makes little sense as he has more armor and more gear to carry around, which means more noise. Not sure what a hybrid is, but it seems a little OP as they don't seems to have any bad traits, and seem to be the way to go, so why would me as a player even pick anyone else? Just a couple thoughts.

 

Assault - moderate in most things

Scout - little armor, & health but quick, silent, and deadly

Heavy - built like a tank & heavy firepower, but sluggish & loud

Hybrid - Unsure.. (is that some kind of super soilder?)

Hunter - (Also sort of unsure)

 

Knowing what these classes are in the grand scheme of things even a little bit would provide very helpful advice on seeing what you plan to do, so that helping you balance them would be far more beneficial.

Got it.

 

I don't quite understand why the heavy would be more silent then the assulte. The heavier armour should make more noise. I would maybe take 5-10 point away form the heavies stamina and put into the armour, but that's just me.

This is why i post this stuff. 

 

Little bit of a run down.

Assault - Fast mover, Lighter armour

Scout - Sniper user, Little camo, Slow moving (More to do about placement on the map)

Heavy - Title says it all, Built like a tank heavy and slow moving

Hybrid - Sort of a middle point between them all (Less total points compared to other classed (Tweaks being made) 

Hunter - Silent, (Faster Scout)

Im pretty sure scouts are meant to be the ninja kinda guys, get intel get in get out fast, that means they need to be fast maybe a bit quite, light armour for the movement.

[CatCloud]

I´m more confused about what stats does what. Silence? is assault the most unsocial/mute guy of them all? ;D i´m guessing this is related to movement sound. 
Hunter and Scout = same thing if i understand correctly.
Not sure about you guys but a slow scout is not really a scout tbh, for such a light armored guy i kinda expect him to be the marathon/Sprint runner.
Stamina does what? effect how long you can "dash"?
I think scout should be changed/removed, maybe a Saboteur? Engineer? someone technical i guess?

My two cent= Change Scout and re-balance Hunter and add the sniper rifle to him instead. you could always rename Hunter to "Stalker" Hmm maybe make him into a glass cannon? not sure how the "Stealth/Hide" mechanism will be so.

Assault tend to be the front liners right? he sure is sqichy? -5 Movment speed +5 HP maybe? 
Scout/Hunter -3 HP +3 Movment speed?
Heavy seems well balanced and i have nothing to say there.
Hybrid seems well balanced asewell for the "Jack of all Trades" guy, although how different is Hybrid and Assault? aside from the stats. i get abit of "Scout/Hunter" feeling here.
But yeah i agree with @gastew15 

[MontyBonjangles]

pretty solid

[MzCatieB]

Reworking and renaming some of the armours, Will upload 1s iv got them done.

Note: These are Armour Sets not Classes

[MzCatieB]

Here is the Armour Revise: 

 

 

Notes:

Higher = Better

All Armour's (Other than the Default) Have been Capped at 150, This is to Balance Online Gameplay

Armour Notes:

Default = (Previously called Hybrid)

Default is the Starting Armour in the game, Will not show in any other Tier of Armour, Designed to be "All Round Setup" it is put in place because we simply don't know how you play the game.

 

Hunter =

Silent Class, Designed for Mid to Short Range Conflict. Hunt Down the enemies and be careful not to be seen.

 

Ranger = (Previously Called Scout)

Don't like getting in to the fight? There an Armour for that. The Ranger is perfectly setup for Long Range Conflict by utilizing a Rifle or a Bow, Whilst being able to get from A to B with little difficulty.

 

Runner = (Previously Called Assault)

Like getting your hands dirty, Get in the Fight with this Super Light weight armour, it will shrug off a few bullets but... we haven't tested it with Rockets and grenades yet so be carefully.

 

Heavy =

Originally Designed as "Standard" Gear, This Armour can take one hell of a beating, What it lacks in Movement it makes up in protection, Dont go in without protection.

 

Armour Attributes

Health: 

This Section will Add additional health to Player (Higher Number = More Health)

 

Armour:

This will reduce Incoming Damage from Bullets, Grenades and Rockets

 

Speed:

All Armour weighs something, This effects speed, The lower the Number the slower you go.

 

Stamina:

Weight from your gear can tire you out, Lower Stamina means you cant Run very long and Climbing can become Dangerous leaving you a sitting target.

 

Silence:

With all that gear on your back you will make some sound, The higher the Number of Silence the less likely you are to be found

 

Agility:

Climber Faster, Climb longer, Agility is what you need more of to scale structures faster.

 

Feedback for Tweaks will be greatly appreciated.

[CatCloud]

Hmm nice info.
Ok so.
Starter Looks good
Runner looks good.
Ranger. Very tanky for a sniper  (i don't mind but its a tad op. i can just sit in my tree...or a roof and take shots without a care in the world) -5 armor +5 speed or silence?
Hunter. looks interesting. hmmm wont hunt down that many with that stamina though
Heavy. Looks good.

Btw does speed effect climbing speed as well or is that Stamina related?

Will make some adjustments.

Speed is SprintSpeed only, Agility is Climbing speed. Stamina is how the armour effects the player in terms on movement.

 

Sprinting and climbing will use up Stamina, but the higher the Groundspeed/Agility the less it effects the Stamina drain.

So a player with good Agility can climb faster and for longer, but a player with good groundspeed and bad agility can run really fast but climb slower.

 

When Stamina hits 0 during Climbing the player will simply slow down (Not stop/fall) when a players stamina hits 0 during sprinting they will simply revert to walking.

 

Also a Player can mix and match Armour pieces, but will be restricted by the Total Points available at their level.

a Level 1 player will be restricted to 150 points meaning they can use Any Full Armour set which will give them a minor boost

(Full Heavy will give a small health boost, Ghost will get additional Silence and so on)

 

I'm currently working on possible options for Upgrading equipment.

[MzCatieB]

Made tweaks to the table, Tried to balance out the Gear a little more, Thoughts and feedback please

I came across this thread and I want to know what this game is. I too lazy to read all 23 pages. I know it says development in the title but is there a beta. Thanks if you answer my question

Well you don't get to know then. Really if you want to know just read the topic though.
