Customisable Battle Floats for your Character
« on: March 30, 2010, 06:15:33 pm »

I am sick of silent battles.

My suggestion:

You get 5/10 slots where you can write floats for your character to say in battle.

Various preconditions - Just been shot, just been critically hit, just shot someone, just scored a critical hit, on severely wounded, on almost dead. That kind of thing.

When these conditions are met, your character will say this PRESUMABLY HILARIOUS line mid fight without you having to do anything.

Just an attempt to add some expression in a time where you're normally frantically clicking and too busy to type witty asides.

Thumbs up for this one.
Something like 5 conditions out of >5 options would also mean that they wouldn't pop up all the time.

Pretty good idea.

Anyway instead of this particular things I would love to see macros ingame. So everyone could do whatever he want to with his char management from single shouts to complex action->reaction macros.

Okay, I am revising this idea.

I am the only one who gets customisable battle floats. I forgot what game I was playing for a second.

I would love an option like this, anything to add to the rping.

I doubt that such a function would increase the roleplay.

Yep. The idea itself sounds nice, but not when it comes to some players over here. ;)

Oh yeah because creating a personality for your character has nothing to do with rping. I'm assuming you've never played d&d?

Of course it can "increaze" roleplaying a bit, but the majority of players will just use statements like the fine sir I have in my signature for example, or will draw genitalia as been stated in the thread etc.

They devs can stop making FOnline I gues... If you would turn down every suggestion only because someone could use it in way you don't like then game will become even more boring and flat than it already is.

First, it is not my decision. I like it though, but it has nothing to do with the way the devs make their game.
Second - it's been stated a lot of times that they don't want to make so much "lulz" and out of game styles in the game. Else we could name our factions as we want etc.

The NPC taunts would be a nice edition for starters imo.
Today i heard a guard shout: "You shot my eye, prick" ..Or something like that..

You guys keep shooting down rping elements because some people might not fit the theme, but you guys never even tried. I'm sure people that play this game do so because they like the world fallout is set in, not because they want to play a ghetto strategy game.

Yeah, we've never tried.  ::) We've never had people destroying RP "sessions" because they wanted to shoot everyone down for teh lulz, we never encountered people who were "drawing" swastikas on the ground, we've never head people shouting pictures of genitalia in the ncr etc.  ::)
