The mech suit update

[onyx stream]

with the space biome out i think having a mech for conquering planets is a good idea. so if a yeep wants to go in the mech they go behind it and put the back pack on there back and they will be transported to the cockpit. and the arms will work like item cannons if misses are there it will shoot misses if sticky bombs are there it will shoot sticky bombs. and i have 2 ideas on how it will power one it slowly drains the cotan you have and if you use one of its arms it will waste more cotan or 2 put the the 2k fluff pillow blocks behind the mech. and how you use it will be similar to ugs system but if you press face buttons it will shoot whatever is in the cannons .but honestly I think think this update will be really fun if you partner with ug again for the features.

common

we all know we want this

[ancient plinth]

this is one of the things where it actually is unnecessary to the gameplay

mechs, especially in vr, are really cool, but this would be better suited in its own vr game, its not very in line with the other additions to the game

[onyx stream]

BUDDY think about the battles or how it helps enemys

and not to mention if it is its oon vr game then yeeps will be more then just some random vr game

[silver pasture]

I LOVE MECHSSSS

[bleak tusk]

best idea it would fit with the space biome

[carmine timber]

It should use cotton to shoot pellets, missiles and cannon balls but the mech should have it's own health like 3,000 and then it explodes... but it is your suggestion (Great idea fits space biome)

[ancient plinth]

and then what? if you dont own it, you cower in fear? yeeps is already more then just a random vr game, i feel like it doesnt fit thematically, OR gameplay, pvp-wise. i do game development, and balancing is an absolute chore, but necessary. mechs cannot be balanced in the combat loop of yeeps, draining cotton is a mere bandaid fix, and will most likely just make playing in the mech not fun, as it will influence opponents to stall until you’re out of cotton. a mech in yeeps would promote undesirable playstyles in order to counter it, or vice versa.

its clear that the thought process behind this suggestion prioritized flashy visuals and the novelty of killing everything in sight with a jaeger, over “can i balance a seemingly unbalanceable idea, and not only that, but make it fun?”

[ancient plinth]

i didnt address the fun factor in this oops, but yeah, mechs would be an extremely risky addition to pull off (be fun and balanced), you can have your cake, but it wont taste good

[onyx stream]

It can be balanced like slowly waist ing Cotten from the yeep or it’s battery

[vagrant dagger]

You could have it be that their a whole different tech web with a simple one at the beginning and only having different variety of styles like slow but powerful and the first one being the jack of all trades

[ancient plinth]

in my first paragraph, i explained why this is a bad idea;
IT WILL PROMOTE bum PLAYSTYLES
dont have a mech, but you’re a movement god? outrun to waste cotton, and then go in to kill

mech cant counter this for its life (figuratively, and literally)

that is not fun game design, that is coping

balanced doesn’t equal fun or functional

[fathom minnow]

Then don't play

[ancient plinth]

this isn’t addressing the issue, this is coping. its similar to the saying of “mods will fix it.” they absolutely can, but it points out that something the developers of the game could’ve fixed in patch, wasn’t fixed
aka, neglecting the issue at hand

[onyx stream]

who cares about the honor system

if someone uses it it not bad if they slowly lose cotten

[fathom minnow]

The Idea is good and if you use it bad you get punished. Chipiseth you're just being contrarian to put others down for being creative.

[ancient plinth]

that’s not what im talking about

oh and we can just, keep mechs in games that are actually built around them (or games that are entirely about mechs) pacific rim is sick, i love pacific rim, but seeing yeep typhoon stomping around in home is not exactly what yeeps is about

mic drop

[onyx stream]

look mech cool we in space if no mech make no sense

[ancient plinth]

picking the mic back up:
ive expressed that while the idea is definitely cool, its not very well thought, ive made sure to address the things you’ve both mentioned to me, and explained my counterpoint. telling you that im not fond of an addition to yeeps that is out of place, and you interpreting that as me being rude, is not what i would like to accomplish.

mic drop fr (domasday isn’t acknowledging what im saying like chudbumhole /j)

[onyx stream]

Ok ima say 1 thing that ends this you ready? It’s a mech

I know I know

Calm down guys

[onyx stream]

so

[novel oriole]

I dont think they would do an update based on just mechs

[onyx stream]

Still mechs

I mean for the I think it won’t be to complex to code but design is something else

[ancient plinth]

it will be complex to code. you realize theres a part where you need to network stuff, right?

[onyx stream]

Oh ye but ya know still possible

They did rewrite gravity

[ancient plinth]

yes, but read above! not practical to spend allat time if the ✨ le game design ✨ is butt

[onyx stream]

Mechs are worth it

[ancient plinth]

im talking to a wall with gundam posters /j

[onyx stream]

Mechs

Stop saying no and start saying yes

Revive

Mech suit cool

[halcyon knot]

Yeah so are lightsabers and they still added that

[keen socket]

The only update that might be better than this is a real plane update with a working cockpit

[serene axle]

Who cares honestly

[serene axle]

Good argument

I suggest that the mech has a set health before breaking

Or

It could be for a whole separate gamemode

Oh the ideas are forming

Hehe

Mwahahah

[onyx stream]

I said 1 the power from the mech is from the yeep or 2 how ever much Cotten it got In it’s power so set health is kinda there

[onyx stream]

Revive

[onyx stream]

revive

people we want mech
