Minions

Author Topic: Minions  (Read 3451 times)

A halo gun (I can't actually name a real one so bear with me here) is just a weapon with a new model and modified damage. It doesn't add gameplay at all; it just gives you a new object to look at. Something like zombies (which isn't too far from this idea) adds a whole new minigame idea to BL, and gives everyone hours of fun. We're not saying "no halo" because it's halo; we're saying "no halo" because there's nothing in halo that will add a new experience to Blockland.

i'm  saying that I dont want stuffastic games mixing with a epic game.

And since when do you make the decision that things are stuffastic and non-stuffastic?

I personally think WoW is a good game. I respect that you think its a stuffastic game but you dont make all the decisions

A wand that spawns zombies from the zombie mod would be awesome. Just hit the ground
3 times and 3 guys appear and do what they do from the zombie mod.

Does anyone have a gun that spawns a minon that will fight for you? If not, wouldn't that add something new to blockland?


just use spaceguy's bots.  You can set patrol routes and such so they go where you want them to

I think it is too, but that doesn't mean I'm going to ruin someone's idea. Just let them release it and don't download it. Simple as that.

BTW, your quote is messed up. ;)

Fix'd

Me, read the last post I put last night in here.

I agree this is retarted to argue about an add-on. Go ahead someone make it. Infact here is some advice qwerty. Ask someone who has made a bot and see if they will teach you how to code it. Hey, if you got someone too improve that model, It would be a well polished add-on. I wouldnt get it, but a lot of people would.

I am to be beheaded D: I'm sorry god!

Nosrsly.

All I'm saying is this wont add anything to the gameplay of Blockland. Most ideas taken from games work in Blockland were this idea does not. Dont Flip out just because you dont agree, I can have my opinion, you yours. I just felt I had to clarefy what I mean now and before, because I felt you did not understand. Not to be an ass.

I agree with you first opinion.  A minion shooting in a deathmatch?  Ruins the fun in my opinion, seeing as it would be "Who has the best minion bot" instead of "Who can use their own personal skill to aim."  Generally, I lurk threads, but this one is so craptastic I had to give my opinion.

Oops, sorry Klayboxx. I guess I accidently skipped that paragraph.

And Zmobie, what if the gun shot out a zombie and had a 3 minute reload? Here's an example: Blockhead had built a fort on a hill. He had to run out of the fort to get the sniper. He had been hit several times and one more would lose the sniper. He hid behind a house. All that stood in his way was PWNeR and his assult rifle. All Blockhead had was the sniper and zombie gun. He shot out a zombie which distracted PWNeR so he could escape.

Just get the bots mod and move on with your life.

That is exactly like being able to spawn a minion to fight for you.[/sarcasm]

BEING ABLE TO MAKE A BOT SPAWN AND GIVE IT AN OVERPOWERED WEAPON, PUT IT ON A TEAM, AND LET IT KILL EVERYHING ELSE IS NOT THE SAME AS SPAWNING A MINION WITH A WEAPON, HERES SOME HANDY REASONS.

1) if you let players make bot spawns and such in a minigame, they will spawn way too many overpowered bots
2) way more set up is required
3) defeats the purpose of the idea-- spacebots wont follow you around and protect you damnit.


It would not be "Who has the best minion bot" you moron, its a loving bot, it attacks who you attack and who attacks you, but it doesn't have a loving ion cannon.
Every minion is the same, same weapons, same hp.

ADDING A MINION WHO FIGHTS FOR YOU IS NOT THE SAME AS ADDING LEVELING, STATS, AND WoW-STYLE GRINDFEST, GET IT THROUGH YOUR SKULLS

But Rky, if we add something from WoW all the sudden we'll be calling eachother noobs and trying to get to level 70!1!

NO.

But if we add minions from WoW they'll be able to level up and cigarettes will spend too much time focusing on it, even though there has been no mention of letting them level up nor has it been discussed, rejected or accepted, but its from WoW so they have to!

NO.

But a minion bot, although having less hp than a normal player and a weaker weapon, will automatically suck all the skill out of a deathmatch and replace aiming with letting your minion kill stuff!

WHAT THE forget IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE.



Go back to lurking.



Saying "this idea won't work in blockland" is basically saying "all deathmatches suck in blockland to begin with, why bother improving".





Overlord for 360 is much better than anything in WoW.
