Thumper suggestion.

[Angstromicus]

I've heard from a beta tester that thumper WON't be brought back because:

1) Will require too much work.

2) Screws up buildings if used, which can't be fixed becuase it goes back to 1.


Instead of making a thumper weapon that changes the terrain. Make an explosion effect and/or a weapon effect where a weapons blast rolls along the ground with seismic-like properties possible (I don't recall anything in explosions that lets you do this or anything in weapons class that lets you do this.)

Sounds a bit over-powered given that it would fling any tracked vechiles far far away. Service truck nightmare.

[Angstromicus]

It could have a power adjuster on it, like m curtains have on their push power.

[Jwk the Hemp Monkey]

i suppose if it had very little 'push' but a fair amount of 'kick'...you could make some kind of mine that instantly detonates and makes a very large shockwave that has this affect...doing next to (but not quite) nothing damage..


give it a shot, might be a cool weapon.


Hadeand definatly need some more special slot weapons IMO.

[Angstromicus]

oh and it would be cool to have the explosions themselves to do the damage, instead of taking damage before an explosion reaches you. Kno what I'm talkin about?

[APCs r evil]

This is my first reply so forgive me if i do something wrong.

Would all races get thumper or just isdf?

[Angstromicus]

Probably just isdf, but, other races would get different versions of thumper.

[APCs r evil]

Different versions? How could you make a different version of something like thumper?

[Angstromicus]

Versions of thumper class weps could be:

1) Specail thumper, causes a wave of destruction to pertrude from in front of u.

2) Mine thumper, like monkey said, a mine that explodes causing a big shock ring.

3) cannon thumper, weapons blast on impact with ground causes a thumper explosion.

4) etc.

[APCs r evil]

I meant how the scion thumper would be different from the isdf thumper.

[Angstromicus]

Scion thumper may be a super wep from a fury bomber, where a fury bomber drops a bomb, and the target area is hit with a massive shockwave.

[APCs r evil]

Thats just plain cool.  

[Tempest Storm]

None of this is going to happen with 1.3 though. If you want to make some massively souped up Sonic Cannon then go put it in your MOD, thumper is gone from BZ2.

[Angstromicus]

Hmmmmm, it seems that at least that kind of thumper could be used in bz2. It's just a deep wound in bz2 that thumper was removed. You're probably right tempest.

[Zero Angel]

Oh well, at least you still have your popper bikes in DMs, eh Omni?
