22:23 sheepluva@ : TheAnachron: seen it a while ago. and hm. could be more comic :P e.g. instead of suction gun
-> vacuum cleaner etc.
22:23 sheepluva@ : although the way that particular weapon works seems pretty redundant (because rope)
22:23 TheAnachron : sheepluva: yeah, but it would workw differently as you have to charge before you fly
22:23 sheepluva@ : if you could use it to suck items to you, that'd be nice actually
22:23 TheAnachron : sheepluva: and rope is pretty much the opposite.
22:23 sheepluva@ : especially if you accidentially catch a mine x)
22:23 TheAnachron : sheepluva: well maybe that gun could have two modes?
22:24 TheAnachron : sheepluva: either it will shoot somewhere or suck something xD like a hook
22:25 sheepluva@ : nah, if there is a second function on vacuum cleaner it's be blow ;p
22:25 sheepluva@ : so that you can push stuff away - and blow out fire
22:25 TheAnachron : xD or blow
22:25 TheAnachron : Cool, maybe even better
22:25 TheAnachron : you'd see it like a switch xD
22:26 sheepluva@ : hm. I'll put vaccum cleaner on my TODO, really like the concept.
22:26 sheepluva@ : better than fishing rod
22:27 sheepluva@ : which I considered for pulling stuff
22:27 sheepluva@ : and getting health out of the ocean or something
22:27 sheepluva@ : that'd be still weird tho
22:27 sheepluva@ : xD
22:27 TheAnachron : it would be pretty hilarious too
22:27 sheepluva@ : so vaccum cleaner it is
22:27 TheAnachron : especially if you mess up with the vacuum cleaner XD
22:27 TheAnachron : You don't like the black hole idea?
22:28 sheepluva@ : and hm, could make it usable in mid-air and using "blow" it could be used to slow the fall of
a hog
22:28 TheAnachron : sheepluva: just like the SinGun?
22:28 TheAnachron : or similiar*
22:29 sheepluva@ : not really. more like that it slows down the fall when you're close enough to the floor to
blow (and dust off lol) against the floor
22:29 TheAnachron : Hmmm ok
22:29 sheepluva@ : so not a complete direction reversal, more of a speed/damange reducing measure
22:29 sheepluva@ : *damage
22:29 TheAnachron : Yeah that makes much more sense actually
22:29 TheAnachron : and it could be actually wh at you are looking for
22:30 TheAnachron : It allows for unique uses too
22:30 sheepluva@ : could also be used to land safely on fire ;p
22:31 sheepluva@ : and the best about it is
22:31 sheepluva@ : that if people complain about it and say that it sucks - we can reply "well of course it
does, that's the point!"
22:32 sheepluva@ : TheAnachron: black hole is kinda similar to seduction... just easier to position
22:32 sheepluva@ : and stronger
22:32 TheAnachron : sheepluva: exactly.
[...]
22:33 sheepluva@ : TheAnachron: Pandemie sounds like a gamestyle rather than a regular weapon
22:33 sheepluva@ : it's quite a game-changing OP mechanic
22:34 sheepluva@ : earth shake doesn't seem too original, instead I'd like a tsunami or something :P
22:34 TheAnachron : hmmm... I have to agree.
22:34 TheAnachron : hmmm ... but Tsunami in hellish terrain?
22:34 TheAnachron : That's why I didnt suggest something like that.
22:35 TheAnachron : I already had something like that in mind
22:35 sheepluva@ : note gun: really wtf annoyance to players :P even worse than icegun because so arbitrary lol
22:35 sheepluva@ : TheAnachron: you don't like lava tsunamis? :P
22:35 TheAnachron : Juast as well as I have "Thunderstorm" in my mind with lightnings ... some scenes just wont
fit :P
22:35 TheAnachron : sheepluva: yeah ... but I think thats cool XD And could be really refreshing... but yeah, I
don'T know..
22:36 TheAnachron : sheepluva: imagine people shooting a weapon and waiting for the hog to do stuff
22:36 TheAnachron : sheepluva: because they forgot their hog is half deaf :P
22:36 sheepluva@ : could also do a (skinable) piranha swarm that jump out the water and nibble on players near
the cliff
22:36 TheAnachron : sheepluva: it could cuase a lot of funny moments for the enemeies and ragequits for the
players xD
22:36 TheAnachron : sheepluva:
22:36 TheAnachron : sheepluva: that would be pretty cool.
