I was trying to figure out which subforum to post this topic in, and while it isn't a suggestion, it is relevant to a lot of the suggestions on this subforum already, so I've decided to put this here. If you have a problem with it, whatever.
The question I have for all you people who have played tribes and want to bring new things to Legions is the following. Why does a lot of the suggestions you have for Legions have its roots in Tribes? I get the Legions is based off of tribes with the mobility, and since I haven't played tribes, I don't know much else except for what I've heard. I've heard the Legions is flat and repetitive compared to Tribes, and I couldn't disagree with that. Legions is in need for new things to happen with it. However, most of the new suggestions come from Tribes. What game are we making here? Legions: Overdrive, or Fallen Empire: Tribes? Legions deserves to be improved, but it should take a different path than its parent. If you like to see Tribes aspects in a game, then that is what Tribes is for. The suggestion I am making to all of the community (okay, so there IS a suggestion in here) is to think outside of the Tribes box. I'm as much for new ideas, but they shouldn't be derived from the parent. Instead, when thinking of new gameplay features such as base defense extras, deployables, and the suchlike, don't just go with the thought process of "What I liked in Tribes and would LOVE to see in Legions is..." Sit down and think of something new, because what you've seen in Tribes has Already been done. This game, since its being developed with suggestions from the community taken in mind, has many new directions it could take, and since that is the case, why should we travel the path previously traveled? Our imaginations, should they be used, are the guiding forces, not just a "copy/paste, then edit to fit legions" approach. We have the opportunity to makes something new and different and we should grab that idea by the horns, so I'm asking for you all to, the next time you think of something, ask yourselves "Was this done in Tribes, and I just want to recreate it in Legions?" There have been some great ideas that have come up that weren't used in Tribes for the best of my knowledge (weapons tethers, for example.) Dare to create some fresh new idea and then test it on the servers. It may not work, but you tried something more new than some of the posts already. These are my two cents and my recommendations on this subforum.
