Drones and other ideas

[dfv219]

Please delete that post before from sidhardha, due to it is not constructive. It's destructive and as a serious interested player in that game I don't want the post end up in flaming instead of constructive brainstorming, together.

Then next time doing suggestion think about how each of them will affect the balance of the game.

Brainstorming means to think about things, also to think about the interferences of implementing new features on the behaviour of the gameplay itself, of course. If all would react like you, no one will ever make any changes to the game, if no one is allowed in your opinion to post an idea that is not completely reconsidered in every way.

Why don't you just give a constructive comment, where you take the idea and explain your thoughts and doubts on the ideas that were thrown into the brainstorming.
If you have doubts that droners will just kill all other players with ease and are invulnerable due to some changes, then go through the points one by one and comment on 1. 2. 3. 4 to my or any other players ideas.
And mind, that this is a raw idea, that doesn't mean there are concrete plans of a drone so powerful high damage + invisibility and so on, feel free to mention, that the idea is good or bad, but we should think about the drone should have extreme low dmg or what ever you want to suggest.

But please do it in a constructive way!

I am sorry if i was sounding offencive, but the critizism of the ideas should be self explanatory.

1. As a droner you are SUPPOSED to be in danger. Thats the whole trade off of the overpowered proffession - while you might feel like God clearing dungeons, your actual body is vulnerable and you never know from where danger approaches. So you have to hide well and pray no one finds you.

2. See 1

3. See 1. Running to pick up the drone is part of the "game" and what makes Droner a Droner.

4. That is both overpovered and pointless. You already can sneak very well on enemies with drone, and giving Drone a stealth is pointless since regardless of him spotted essentially the pilot already is invisible to enemy. So that would be overkill by all means.

5. See 1. Droner already can use Stealth tool himself, since you are likely playing Spy if you play one. And no, he`s not supposed to be infiltration specialist - droner supposed to be weak pilot exposed to danger, piloting a dangerous and potent weapon.

Similarly your expressed before desire for "mor range". Range is limited because of "See 1". If enemy spots the drone, he needs to have realistic chance to guess where the pilot is and try to find him - limited range is means to make pilot vulnerable.

Either way, majority of the issues with Drones are of technical nature - syncs, clipping issues etc. Otherwise they are doing fine and are atm probably the best means to level - safest and fastest.

So if anyone requeset buffs for them, i request EMP grenade with 100m radius added as well.
