Poll: What do you want most?

thetrophysystem · March 20, 2014

Welp, you can now tell polls and/or some popular opinion don't mean anything whatsoever.

How is a very vital functionality feature, chronocam integrity, which leads to saved games and saved states and loadable levels and possibly even built levels, come in behind "unit cannon"?

Players could make the unit cannon with server side, I am fairly confident. Uber could in fact do it more functional and better, but players could map a unit to perform a series of things that does "unit cannon" stuff and call it unit cannon.

lol, very nice! Even though I'm American I'm really going to need to start using this!

i know, right? i'm in Chicago, hardly french, but this entertains me greatly. I let the thread go a little while to see if anybody picked up on it, but nobody said anything. I don't care, it's good stuff imo!

i'd choose both performance updates and asteroid belts, but i chose asteroid belts in the vote because you can only pick 1.

but this isn't on the list, but right now the no.1 thing i am looking foward to is multi planet starts. it means that i wont be the first to get slaughtered EVERY SINGLE TIME, and will give crap players like me time to develop an economy and to be competitive with good players, without constantly worrying that someone could send a damn army after me.

and i'd also like to see that revamp of planet smashing effects

I wish the voice actor voice over was in the game . Really would make this game exciting.

Very simple. Forget about what's promised for 1.0, or what's hard to implement, or what's easy, or what they're working on now/next. Check your rational thinking at the door.

What are you looking forward to being polished/tweaked/balanced/fixed/implemented the most, so you can FINALLY PLAY WITH IT?

edit: additional ideas
1 - scale change
1 - build orders
2 - ranked ladder
3 - more API (for mods. and towels.)
1 - commander twerking
1 - metal slider (planet creation)
1 - destructible terrain
2 - strategic icon overhaul
1 - victory conditions / gametypes
1 - gas giants
1 - multi-planet starts

I want all orbits off and give moore attencion only to the planet you are play,and give the right attencion to micro+naval+balance in all structure off the units....

I chose "polished visuals," I see I'm in a minority.

For reference when I think "polished visuals" I think:

(a) Jungle/Terran world related:
- terran planets with actual realistic biome merging (for crying out loud! its the ugliest biome right now)
- proper height variation
- proper mountains (current implementation looks like some kind of zerg infestation)
- rocks
- dirt/glass variation
- small city/temples/outpost/other-props in all biomes
- wild life
- collapsible trees (ie. when you build or walk near them they collapse and go away)
- more vegetation variation ie. tree variation in jungles, cactuses in desert, potentially even giant trees as terrain blockers, vegetation density variation (very thick forests/jungles, more sparse on hilly regions)
- terran world craters? because well you know every planet type gets hit at one point
- waves! and wave variation (as in open sea waves should be bigger)
- cliffs!
- beaches
- waterfalls!
- geysers
- vulcanos, lava trails, etc
- icebergs
- canyons (as in big ones you can go into, not just cracks)
- where's the "alien" vegetation? fancy florescent vagetation would be nice
- why is all grass green if its an alien planet?

(b) Moon stuff:
- moon crater variation (at least make them random spread and size), case to point: http://imgur.com/XM8ZGqu (better lighting/textures on moons too)
- platos you can move on top of (the current ones are such a tease

(c) Water planets:
- water planets, ie. planets with actual "small" islands, archipelagos, visible underwater biomes, giant sea rocks as mountains, floating rocks, icebergs, giant sea life (space whales, etc), deep ocean ranges etc—we'll probably just see renamed terran with different default water height and different colored water but whatever =P

(d) Units & Buildings:
- more animation and variation in details (smoke, jet thrust, heat effects, better explosions)
- water splashes for naval units moving and firing
- naval buildings should have some small variation like floats around them; they look too much like they're just glued to the top of the water; personally I feel like you should just be able to build some things in shallow water
- naval units should actually float, ie. tilt and move around as they turn and move forward
- naval battleship should actually break in half and sink rather then look like a burnt building
- more fire
- gunships should have a helicopter hover effect on planets with atmospheres; since they fly low enough for it
- building under-texture should go away immediately after getting blown up or get replaced by a destroyed structure version
- better animation for the vehicle/ship construction animation (the bot and air are way too good by comparison)
- smaller/more interesting wall model, current implementation doesn't really make sense and is ugly—real life tank walls as known by most http://imgur.com/fQ0BH1d here's also dragon teeth type walls: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon's_teeth_(fortification)
- cannon looking artillery pieces shouldn't fire a slow missle looking thing =P
- more realistic tank movement
- bridges/small-rivers that are required for gameplay (be they natural, ancient or build option)—just make them near instant/invulnerable if its a balance concern; though honestly they would at least add one point in the difference between tanks and bots (since bots should be able to cross rivers by themselves just like soldiers)
- why does nothing fire missles at ground targets? like in a straight line, not an arc
- more lighting on nuke (players with no direct visibility but near by should still see a nice big flash on the screen in the general direction, and of course the nuke should be fairly visible from space); regardless of actual gameplay size the nuke should be huge with it's dust cloud—just because you need to balance for smaller nukes doesnt mean you cant have a big boom
- anti-nukes hitting a nuke should be a little more dramatic not just "poof"
- units should be able to walk over dead units "carcases"

(e) General:
- planet rings?
- tank tracks
- unit dust trails on dust based planets (lava, desert)
- plane trails
- clouds? weather? When we look at a planet we generally look at its weather moreso then its surface; the amount of weather/clouds it has is also how we generally percieve atmosphere; at the moment no planet feels like it has an atmosphere.
- more interesting lighting (http://imgur.com/6zFcIdD). I don't mean like in that image, I just mean having some lens flares, some bloom, etc more stuff like clouds would probably do wonders with making more interesting shadows. Also things like moon relfections/shadows and such would make sense.
- invalidation for systems with planets that cross orbits
- more control over planetary orbits
- more stuff in space (1) there are rocks flying around (2) games like homeworld have exagerated space with very big success so ya just add some random junk
- orbits that are not on the same plane
- planets that orbit on different exis positions
- more control over orbit speeds (yes this is a visuals tweak =P)
- planet shape control (the earth isn't a sphere for example)

...oops, should probably stop now before I go on forever.

With regard to my opinion on some of the other choices. Out of the popular choices at the time I write this "asteroid belts" seem pretty meh to me (no offense meant to people that like them). I mean if you want that (and I assume people want it for the gameplay implications) why not just make a system, fill it with say 100 tiny little terran planets with max height variation and max height or at least close enough to get just a small building space. I would love to see asteroids for aesthetics but dont have high hopes for gameplay. The other one going down seems to be performance, personally I haven't seen performance issues that would call for it as a priority recently, a few months back ya, now not so much; looking at streams there doesn't seem to be performance issues that often these days. As for unit canon, same as asteroids kind of meh gameplay implication IMO.

Just read over this post again and it's gold. If even some of these were implemented it'd make such a difference to the experience.

I am so sorry..... But I voted for that. What do I seriously want? Well, really what Uber is doing is so far exactly what I wanted... so I just stay shutted up. Overall? I'll probably see it, so I want Uber to continue doing what they are doing. Which is apparently making me happy?

5- Grow up and forget me ok,there are lot good things in this game to you worry,even iff im desapointed not means game its not good...

Just watch today my game (me the noob) vs another top player...

@kalherine I am very confused. lets just go our separate ways.

keterei · March 23, 2014

I want to see improved orbital. We really lack methods of planetary invasion and I think orbital is being neglected right now. I want to see drop pods, deployable defenses from orbit, and invasion craft. These things are all the more important with the recent addition of multi-planet spawns. Those games usually just turn into nuke wars. Boring.

Not really a waste of time, they can make a melee experimental assassin bot wielding sword and parry enemy projectiles with it.
