sHad0ws Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Quiz trivia bot, when there is a reasonable amount of people a mod could host a quiz. like first person who answers 5 questions right wins. it is different and i think it would be cool, !buy prox - for like 30 million credits. i think this would be popular because with prox in deva you would be very powerful also i think proximity bombs would be a good prize, after somebody wins a prized event.
kick me!! Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Oh boy, a trivia bot. That'd be nice; however, what type of questions would you put on it? What would you win? Make the trivia bot give credits as a prize. Also, make the questions periodically; therefore, it'll ask one question every, let's say, 2 mins (number is an example only). To enable it to begin asking questions, there must be a certain number of people in the zone (e.g. 6 people excluding the bot). Making the questions + answers would take a fair amount of time though... Prox, oh boy...I remember back in old Deva, everyone wanted it to be available. Never was. Why? Because it's imbalanced beyond !@#$%^&*. Think about it, when you're basing 5v5 (for example), and the defending team's anchor (or basically the whole team) is a spider with prox with a fairly reasonable bombing, how the !@#$%^&* do you push that? EMP duration is fairly long, and the bombs are rather damaging There would literally be no place to hide or whatsoever. Just hold the "tab" key away, and you're basically unpushable (with a few exceptions of course). Or picture 12 people, in center, with a terrier with prox. All it has to do basically, is shoot bombs (since its bombs are probably one of the most powerful...) everywhere and everything is dead with ease. I think this is a No-No to Prox. Well, that's my opinion. And what are everyone elses?
sHad0ws Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Posted July 22, 2006 well you dont have to have a big prox range, maybe 4 millimeters around the ship. what type of questions would you put on it? well you could have quotes off films and name the film, jumbled up letters hiding a acter/actress name. example 'K&&n^ R%%^£s' Keanu Reeves
»SOS Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 I suppose trivia might be useful in some cases. However, not the case kick said It would only be useful to keep 3-4 bored people in the zone until others come. It would be useless with high pop when everyone wants to play. Prox is bad. For several reasons. with prox in deva you would be very powerful Actually, the thing is... 75% of ships would totally suck with prox because it would do almost no damage. And the rest would rock and be very powerful. This is bad because: it is unbalanced between ships I will never make anyone "very powerful". Ever. For any reason.
XDOOM Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 Yeah prox sucks in devastation, 'nuff said. If you need prox to kill somebody you gotta learn how to shoot better
the_accountant Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 lol w/e no comment on the prox thing.trivia really doesnt need a bot, just a mod and the credits bot. do arena messages with the questions and prize through the bot (mods can only prize through bot)
XDOOM Posted October 21, 2006 Report Posted October 21, 2006 true, but a bot would be nice for automation and having it ask random questions.
