Class-specific mechanisms

[jackaboo]

I was thinking it might be cool to add some more class-specific functionality to levels apart from opening doors. Something like class buff dispensers perhaps?

For comms, there could be a kind of 'rallying point' where the comm could temporarily boost their 'ferocity' (and by ferocity I mean armor and threat level).

For ops, perhaps some sort of hackable terminal that would buff movement and shot speed for a short period.

For engis, maybe a support station that would temporarily add auto-stuns and debuffs to attacks.

I dunno. Just thinking out loud. Can anyone come up with other class-specific mechanisms that could be implemented without breaking the game?

i like it VERY much

GREAT idea

Ditto what flip says but... Only debuffs and stuns for engineers, cmon they are already nerfed compared to the other two classes...
Let them be invincible or 1 min or double the power of heals and increase mana regen by +8

Definitely love this idea.

Maybe add a special ability to each class. Not a skill, more of a special buff that activates under special circumstances. As an example:
Commando Ability: Bring It On!
Skill activates after X number of successful taunts. Commando aggros every enemy the area, gains buff to armor, damage, and health regen.

Stuff like this could be a cool new mechanic for the game, provided its reasonably balanced.

Or let this perfect suggestion (the OP) be implemented without add-ons...

awesome ideas + 1

[bronislav84]

Engineer needs to have a turret pet that shoots things. I had this idea ages ago and it fell on deaf ears.

[SkillFullGamer]

Yeah, opening doors was not creative at all lol !

Hmmm an idea for op ...
Op passive Ability: FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE !!!
when health is below 50% then doubles the Damage/ DPS

[ArtofWar]

sounds good..

would make ops way too over powered

Just so you know, Gibbs already told us that Passive abilities are not going to be anywhere near Cap, or any update soon.

unless you kill them first XD
