A way to solve the weapons problem

Postby Bluebullet » Sat Mar 10, 2007 10:13 pm

I was thinking today and I think I found a solution to the lack of weapons for V2 of HMW. The setup is that you begin with one of all weapons for each transformer on a weapons list. The higher powered weapons are locked, though, and are unlocked through the current upgrade program(firepower+1, skill+1). You cannot buy more weapons than your number of transformers. Unpopular weapons will be voted off in a poll containing a list of current weapons. If you buy a weapon and unequip it, it will return to your weapon list but you will not have to pay energon to equip it again. This way, weapons will never run out and the server won't crash unless there is a large surplus of new players.

So what do you think guys? Could it work?

i always wanted to see people have to order weapons to be made and there is a store for sold weapons (for a higher price) for "returns" and sold off weapons collected from fallen enemies.

Meh,

Nice effort, but there have been better solutions put forward by other players.
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

Strip the unused accounts and punish those that hoard!!!

If you could get more money of weapons that are rare or sold out in stock? Ofcourse, these rare weapons would cost more than those what are more common.

Amen indeed, ;)^ Not the first time it's been suggested either.
I prefer shockwaveuk's idea ofr weapons though.
shockwaveuk wrote:Why not scrap the weapons shop and have a standard weapon given to all TF when they are created, these can't be sold but could be unequipped for brawlers. You wouldn't have to buy new weapons but the one weapon could be upgraded indefinitely at cost, better upgrades would be made available with FP stats as armour is with rank.

And here I was thinking this thread would fade into obscurity.

Instead it's going to turn into another thread about who's idea is the best for balancing weapons etc etc.
Boy I miss the days of the gestalts discussions.

We already know ShockwaveUK's was the best idea EVER. So lets wait until Glyph works again and let him decide.
