Topic: Vorp! / OPS Ideas

So if a mine doesn’t explode and you place another one . . .?

Deportal: Is the user locked like the current port? Or is it a fixed area when activated?

Topic: Vorp! / OPS Ideas

What do you mean by charges?

Deportal: Do you have to sit in it for 4 sec? or just show up at the last moment?

Repair bots: If no ally is in range do they wait up to 10 sec and heal for the remaining time? If an ally is fully healed will it move to another?

Nuke: how far is 150 meters in game? How far apart are the front 3 turrets?

Telemine: What is the spawn time? How far is the attraction?

I wish lobster aeroplane worked, fail proof, that he own for the rest of his life, and until he flies it thousands of times, he cannot die and if it is destroyed it reappear in front of him and if lobster was destroyed or deformed in anyway even a tiny cut, he would re-appear in perfect condition inside the airplane. Lobster would also have full knowledge on how to operate such a craft and the knowledge can never be lost. Lobster would be in perfect physical condition to operate such a craft at anytime. He can even operate it using his mind if he wanted to.
- I swear to god if you corrupt this I will write a post so long there is no way anyone can corrupt it.

Granted, but due to the paradox of having to be in front of the plane at the same time as inside it, you’re removed from the space time continuum.

I wish master001749 would make a complex wish.

Granted, but your sent back in time to Augest 15, 2012

I wish everyone was nice to new players.

Topic: Vorp! / Vorp Corrupt-A-Wish

Granted, but then the internet dies.

I wish the craw was the most OverPowered ship in the game.

Topic: Vorp! / Ant Rant...

A team needs a balance of PvE and PvP.

Topic: Vorp! / Confusing OVERPOWERED versus UNDERSKILLED

+1

Topic: Vorp! / OVERPOWERED is OVERUSED!

You just didn’t get it, OP is not the same thing as unbalanced.

It used to be the team that had the Ant would win. Now there are more options.

Also, teammates win or lose this game.

Topic: Vorp! / OVERPOWERED is OVERUSED!

I wish people would stop being so OVERdramatic.

How many ships have been called OVERpowered?
Clank
Ant
Dread
Unduloreon
Craw
Hirudo
Jabber
Angle (was)

Hell even the Venture got a (tiny) nerf a while back.

Fighting against (Clank,Dread,Craw) was hell when they first came out, but we’ve learned how to deal with them.

Now to see who actually reads; This is not to say that everything is balanced, but unbalance is not overpowered.

Topic: Vorp! / B! Rewarding System (my opinion)

I’d like to be able to have team matches (inviting all team members) and then the B! could be evenly split among the whole team.

Topic: Vorp! / Why the Craw is good the way it is.

This isn’t in any way to say that the Craw isn’t OverPowered, but just what is good about it the way it is.

Backdooring ruins the game

- Fixed by the Craw

Not enough PvP

- Fixed by the Craw

Just remember the saying Be careful what you wish for.

Topic: Vorp! / Highscore

cause all a high score means is that you were fighting a bunch of new players.

Topic: Vorp! / Alternate Matchmode for Beginneres

Something needs to be done.
If they wanted to try something new every week to see how it goes, it would still be an improvement.

Topic: Vorp! / when was the last time you've seen a fair match based on close ratings? do they exist?

For me, the match making is broken when you get 3+ players on 1 team all higher level then the other team
or when the total ratings for 2 teams are more then 200 points apart.

People used to wining more now because we don’t get teams that are even.

ELO might be good if there are a few hundred (or more?) players on at a time, but that is not the case so something needs to change.

Topic: Vorp! / Best Solo Time by ship type

If the dev’s added weekly leaderboards for this kind of thing, it would inject some life into the game.

Topic: Vorp! / Best Solo Time by ship type

That what I did, started 1 solo to look at some stuff, and then decided to go for it. I won’t bother with the normal PvE ships, but the ones that don’t normally do structures.

Topic: Vorp! / Best Solo Time by ship type

Yeah, a practive vs AI. What ship Rex? It’s not best time over all, but by individual ship.

I tried to get a screen shot for mine, but couldn’t. :(

Topic: Vorp! / Best Solo Time by ship type

So, how fast can you solo a base?

Topic: Vorp! / For Devs, Angel Fire is so bad

Angel Fire plays a bit like the Dreadnaught, if you’re not fighting something, go heal.

• It’s a PvP ship, so the only thing you focus on is other ships.
• Don’t go into enemy base unless with an ally

Build:

• Trail Blazers
• Ventilate
• Ventilate
• Ventilate
• Vorpal Burners
• Vorpal Burners
• Trail Blazers
• Trail Blazers
• Hull
• Hull
• Hull
• Hull

I don’t plan or expect to die, so I ignore Firey Death.
If you level the burners too soon, you won’t have enough energy to sustain them.

Depending on who I’m facing I might mix up the Hull and Burners.

Just did a solo with Angel, killed the Core in 9:02, only took Drone Hunter & Deport ops. (didn’t use the above build)

edit, forgot the other 2 levels of Trailblazers

Topic: Vorp! / For Devs, Angel Fire is so bad

Actually it is an OK example for AF. I had 4 good team mates and I still got a Gold medal. If AF was so bad I wouldn’t have been able to.

It is had to play right, but then some of the other ships are too.

Topic: Vorp! / For Devs, Angel Fire is so bad

Here’s your proof that Angel is Bad

Yes the team weren’t even, but considering my teammates, I still got Gold

Topic: Vorp! / [Ship Idea] Fleet Carrier

@Hurpidurp. When you respawn and go straight up the middle, you pass between 2 walls. If the gate was across here, then any drones spawning would automatically go through it. This would also allow allies that respawn to get to the battle quicker. The other end would probably need to be deployed from the ship and able to be destroyed. 2 way or not would need testing for balance issues.

Topic: Vorp! / For Devs, Angel Fire is so bad

If i remember right, Angel has gotten buff since that posting.

Topic: Vorp! / [Ship Idea] Fleet Carrier

Considering the (somewhat) relative scale of the ships, a “Carrier” just wouldn’t seem right, but one that had minion balls and a destructible gate would fit better.

Q> Minions: Charge skill, max 2 per level. Activating this causes a # of minions to deploy = to current charge level. Activating this while minions are deployed cause all minions to return. Minions can be destroyed but are tiny (smaller then minion op). Any minion that returns increase charge level and is full healed.

W> : ?? a support ability with minor damage.

E> Warp Gate: 1 end is fixed with a line crossing across from the 2 walls on the way out of the core, causing any allied ship crossing to teleport the other end, which would be deployed from the carrier.
This not give your team more drones, but let you pick the location they end up in, as well as cutting down their travel time.

R> Shield Wings: An energy wall extends from each side of the carrier that acts like clanks wall.

Topic: Vorp! / Clanknor is too weak!

honestly, the only thing to change would be to have turrets not target the wall, and have the GoV more effective.

well, and maybe double its speed and energy recovery.
