A better shooting range

[fossil dew]

The one we have right now is only good for seeing the effects/damage of weapons, so what about an improvement?
I was thinking something like Punch-Out Wii where there could be holographic enemies with similar behavior to bots (Or real players if possible)

(I'm more than open to discussion on how to improve this idea, it was just something I came up with quickly)

i like this idea! the current shooting range is a cool landmark but it's actually pretty bad for practice, the very specific closed space is very unrealistic compared to most scenarios you find yourself in sar

plus, even though you can damage other players, you can't track your total damage or anything so it feels useless

[frigid token]

I very much agree on a shooting range overhaul. Personally the way I've done it before when practicing is to use a random player in the shooting range already and just keep shooting them.

In fact I would go even further and say an entire practice mode on the map is better. Or at least part of it where you can practice the weapons against bots. It might not be the same as against players, but the availability of space and different types of environments and entities which can move and shoot back at the very least can be very useful in learning weapons and situations to use them in

[fossil dew]

I can't tell if that's sarcasm
The bots would still be visible, just stylized like in the photo

Gameplay would still be normal

please keep feedback constructive and civil, no need to use harsh words

i don't see why it has to feed into the lore

[lean delta]

Have you considered Thomas worked on creating bots as shooting range targets?

Because someone asked for it?

Thomas is a silly guy

[fossil dew]

ah I forgot about thomas

[lean delta]

Or doesn't have to be holographic enemies per say. It could be some other idea

[fossil dew]

I'm not too knowledgeable in the lore 💔

[lean delta]

Something that gives you some target with AI that can help practice shooting

Honestly you can kinda shoot st friends in the shooting range to try to figure stuff out but the issue there is its limited to exactly in the shooting range. There's no real say open area fighting practice you can do

[lethal mauve]

This would be neat if it happened

Thomas would totally create animatronics that look like his coworkers to shoot

[trim bramble]

lore would be a cool addition but isn't completely mandatory, i don't think there is lore for every single aspect of the game

[lethal mauve]

Ya

But you know there’s SOME people who hate on things if they don’t fit in with the lore

[lean delta]

Lore addition is fairly easy to incorporate. It seems like a very Thomas thing to make something to test his creations on

[weak bolt]

Your time at the target practice is a dream sequence

Before you wake up to the reality that is civil war

Otherwise you cannot explain how you are shooting fellow animals but they do not seem to get hurt or die

Or the fact that you have to travel with the bird plane again to the island despite that you were already there?

[weak bolt]

And that makes sense cause your character has to relive the moments and the situations S.A.W put them through

And reflect on their mistakes

[still patio]

if thomas makes robots its gonna be the next zombie joe Invasion but with robots and this time they carry guns

[still patio]

trust me there is

[still patio]

then explain me how you can speak with dogna in your dream were she tells you about the first skull cat and the things happend on the iland also how do you dream about the fanart in the smova or however its called in dreams you cant see art it would be blurred. also you get cloned under the iland you are on the welcome center wait till the giant eagle is ready to fly you over the iland so you theory is not possible of existing

[weak bolt]

then explain me how you can speak with dogna in your dream were she tells you about the first skull cat and the things happend on the iland
you just remember what dogna told you previously before you started sleeping, why would dogna be outside her workplace in the middle of animals that could assasinate her at any moment (if not with guns then emus or hamsterballs)?
how do you dream about the fanart in the smova or however its called in dreams
"fan art" and "canon" is not something that works in the same sentence, otherwise i can assume that Isca himself is part of the lore? you can assume that your character is imagining any art that's in there and also dreams do not automatically make things blurred out, i had dreams with clear details before

[weak bolt]

the dream theory also explains how your gun magically disappears

when you leave the shooting range

or why when you take a gun from there it doesn't run out...ever

[still patio]

it does you have to take a new one

[still patio]

and this has to do nothing with the lore theiy are there just to make new players try out the weapons

[weak bolt]

if it doesn't have anything to do with lore, then why are you suggesting that lore should be taken in account when implement this suggestion?

[fossil dew]

there will always be people who are hypercritical on whether every addition to the game has to be lore based
this was just a silly little idea I came up with in my head, I wouldn't say it's that serious

[weak bolt]

i meant, when you take one, the gallery does not run out of weapons

[fossil dew]

just remember to offer proper critique in the feedback forum
saying "this idea sucks actually" with no additional information isn't critique

(this goes for everyone)
