SSL Steam Suggestions Thread

Intro

Hello everyone,

I noticed there are a few spread out threads about possible ideas for this game but no main hub for everything.

This thread will serve as that hub for anyone's ideas about any aspect of the game. Noted some feel Kyle will not look into your ideas but I promise I'll get him to look at this.

So please expound on some ideas for the following but also others you can think of:

- Clan Layout
- Game Modes

Some ideas have also been discussed here

Ideas

@Hells Fury suggested the following to get the ball rolling.

"If you wanna give him a few suggestions: Clan tanks to use in-game, a small bundle of bonus xp for being in a clan, even more if it's in a clan battle or tourney. Color customization."

"If he ever adds custom maps and stuff back in, let there be a custom tank option, where we can design our tank to look how we like. add more game modes, like 2 v 2 v 2 v 2, points of course, a zombie mode of sorts where every round you have a certain amount of AI's to deal with, and when you go to the next round, you health is refilled and the map is reset. Another fun way to get xp."

So yeah start posting all you want. Also feel free to ask me to send him any questions. Apparently some ahve him added but don't bother. Hes never had a problem with me asking him.

*Staff Members can edit this thread in any way they see fit to better or improve it. Much appreciated. *

 

Why not create a suggestion category in this subforum? @Incredipede GET ON IT BRUV

 

Why that doesn't exist makes no sense to me.

 

Having extra weapons, tanks, custom maps etc be unlocked at certain amount of XP.

e.g. 40k XP for a tank, 40.5k XP for a weapon (continuous pattern), 100k XP for a crown tank, 200k XP for custom maps, etc etc...

 

i dont have the game yet but having a rooms level average displayed in the lobby would be cool

Clan tags in lobby
Different mods for different categories like (general, clan etc)
Extend map left n right (like worms)

 

I have "some" ideas I´d like to share.
Every idea is unique on its own. Some may make no sense at all, some may be awesome. Tell me!

-Simple Map editor (But things like Static(no deformation, bumpers stay still etc.) costum bumper positions, crate drop chance etc.)
-Costum colours for tank parts
-more weapons ofc (Cat Nuke (giant cat head gfx) )
-lobby options:

• turn time
• move only time amount& on/off
• static map on/off (no deformation)
• crate drop/bumper/x2 dmg chance (by percent per turn)

-Costum emblem Weapon(Clan?) (Like bigshoot but with your own emblem as explosion gfx(nothing fancy)(Dont know if legal issues may stop this idea but maybe kChamp knows) same strength for everyone!!!)
-points game mode
-Make the options inside the game (optional)
-more tank parts (some easier to unlock(takes ages to lvl up) some harder (like mentioned before with prestige))

Thats it for now

 

Points mode please. Honestly I prefer points mode instead of worrying about dying and wait for ages.

 

plz a suggestion that i have is too power up damages of weap,beacause if you did medium dmg of 100 in ssl2 now(also with all maxed weaps)you do something like 70 average,so my suggestion is to power up weaps and put also 800 hp or 1000 hp so with powerfull weaps and also more hp battles you would go faster to lvl up

 

Why dont this new game got some new archiviements and unlock weapons by unlocking this archivements

 

Singleplayer should have two tabs: missions and AI battles.

AI battles are quite hard. AI tanks are accurate and are able to move. XP award is half as much as you get in-game; if you got 30, you'll get 15.

AI should have random characteristics or shooting type to prevent from players to abuse using macro.

 

Change EMP item function to "make a tank dont move for 1 round" (the item is very useless the way it is now)

Add mute option

Add enable/disable itens on the room lobby

Thats all i remember now... i'll be coming with more sugestions that wont be already included on official release.

 

Add sound effects to:

• Satellite
• Mad Birds
• SmartSnipe
• Game Launch
• New Player Arrival

- When a new game is made, have the chat box automatically clear itself.
- Theme Pack: Backgrounds, Tank Skins, Field Colors.
- Music Choice: Standard, Theatrical

 

- Fix the 'change team' bug, where everyone gets un readied when you change your team.
- Probably suggested, but it's worth being suggested twice, in game settings such as music, sound, (if possible) quality, etc. Also the ability to see your tank parts, weapons, challenges, and so on...
- Try to put angles over dead tanks possibly? Rarely a problem.
- A second tab / new sets of missions, possibly each with a theme, but they get harder as you progress (obviously).
- More challenges?
- Already suggested, points matches.
- Super Sniper, Galaxy, Breaker Madness?
- And this last one, I know a lot of people won't like this suggestion; but the ability to reset your points somehow. Maybe just when the official release occurs you give people (for testing beta!) a reset token and they can choose to use it or not, and if they do, they would be given all of their upgrade tokens back they earned through the levels.

That's all I feel like writing right now... Hehe.

 

why do you need in game music? lol just mute the game music and open pandora or youtube or be an old person and use a radio

 

Oh yeah, better challenges.

e.g. kill tanks with sniper, spend 100,000 fuel, etc.

Maybe because not everyone dislike the music. There is no harm in having a music, rather it would enhance the style of SSL.

 

This may be slightly unconventional, but I think some of you may agree.
In SSL2, it appeared Sinkhole was an upgraded version of Horizon.
In SSLS, they still do essentially the same thing they did in SSL2 with slightly lower damage, so you'd think they'd still be related.
Wrong.
In SSLS, Sinkhole is connected to all the Area Strike-like stuff. They aren't vaguely similar. Sinkhole should be put behind Horizon in the lvl up scheme, and have the real Area Strike-like weapons have their own set up upgrading.
If he is doing it by similarity (which it appears he is), this is what should change.

I'm pretty sure we will find more of something like this in the future.

 

What about gettin a better firing range like in ssl2:
-moving the other tank (maybe an option to let him shoot too, like an infinite game where no1 looses any hp/gets any xp just to get some pracitse??)
-choose a specific map (maybe an option to choose even a flat map??)
-change the wind (honestly, how can u play a windy game if u cant try it out in firing range???)

 

oh plz add leader board ;D ,I Love ssl games beacause i want to be one of the highest ,I M LVL 25 SO I HAVE A CHANCE TO BE IN TOP 50

 

I personally like not having one. Makes game more relaxed not knowing where everyone is.

 

Well, since this is Suggestions, let's do something which is what we DON'T want added to our game.
http://steamcommunity.com/app/326460/discussions/0/611702631217245501/?tscn=1428107853
For those to lazy to go to the link: There is a group of Steamers who are supporting the making of a singleplayer mode in which one could play AIs to gain xp. This should not be implemented, because EVERYONE would play the AIs for easy xp, and the physical multiplayer which makes this worth the $15 would be forgotten. I'm not against the making of the thread, I'm just against the idea that came with it.
I mean, adding the in-game tracers is already crushing for this game's repuation; adding this would almost certainly be the end of me playing here. It wouldn't be fun anymore.
Also, I'm gonna make a poll about those tracers. Let's see who actually likes them.

 

I think this thread is pointless now. Lock maybe?

 

Trade-able tank cosmetics, steam trading cards and points mode please

 

Points mode: YESYESYESYESYES
Tradeable tank cosmetics: Nah; you can probably earn enough gears overtime to buy them yourself. We all will be fighting for gears, so I think no one would be willing to trade their stuff unless you had a good offer on your part, which is unlikely because you wouldn't own anything yourself.
But the points seems like a must to me.

Also, we need more challenges. The 8 sets were probably the most fun part of the game yet. It would be frustrating never to be able to play missions and get xp again. I'm certain he's working on some, but I think we really should get more if he isn't.

 

There are other things to trade besides just SSL stuff. I might want to buy or sale some parts for steam market money.
