Hi,
I was thinking on how can WvW can be expanded with new toys >:)
I’ve got here some screenies to back up my ideas.
But first of all – I don’t wanna generic machines, that look as in any medieval movie – very standard catapults and trebuchets – it’s not interesting and spoils having all the inventions of all races!
Ok, fist screen on top:
Cannot to… launch players! Yes! It should be very expensive but would allow to fire us behind enemy walls! Add to this my last idea (last image) and hohoo, we could get nice carnage.
Second image – anti-zerg cannot. It fires ball of matter that creates black hole that sucks and severe injures any player who is nearby. Firing requires supply and some time to charge, so escaping is possible.
Third image – machine gun – turns very slowly but can chop any player to bits in a matter of 2 seconds. Firing requires supplying.
Fourth image – Sniper gun: one shot – one kill but it doesn’t work like any attacks – it isn’t automatic. You must turn the gun manually. The range should be minimum 10k, maybe more. It’s mobile – you can pack it up and deploy again. It’s quite expensive to build and takes a lot of time.
Fifth screen: balloon, yes! Attack from above! It moves veeery slowly, can only take 5 players and have limited supply of bombs. You can of course safely leave the balloon and lay devastation with you character, but you cannot go back. When there’s no one on the balloon it’s set to autodestruction and lands with explosion exactly below it.
And last picture. Explosive chicken! Yeah!
We need brave (or suicidal) player to try to use it. Chicken is very fragile so almost any damage can detonate it. Explosion is big and don’t distinguish friends from foes. It also does big damage to doors (but not walls). You can be fired with chicken from the first cannon
(if anyone wondered – you are fired with parachute, so firing should also require some supply). How to get chicken? Well – get it from battlefield, bring to your base and pack it with explosives!
I know that there are many more guns and cannons and other tools presented in the game (asura laser, cannons, etc.) but these gave me some ideas.
Any thoughts?
