Stranded

[pooper200000]

This is a new planet idea.

Stranded
Your ship was soaring through the asteroid belt when the engine began to fail.
The ship slowly drifted off of an asteroid toward a planet with the conditions to support life. The planet is composed of small archipelagos.

As you swoop through the atmosphere you see dark shapes of large fish in the water. You hope you never have to see those fish up close and personal. As you quickly descend through the atmosphere friction causes for the nose of your ship to begin incineration. The ground rushes up quickly and your entire body shudders as the ship impacts with the ground.

You wake up as you feel water trickling over your legs. You stand up with a small grunt of pain and quickly observe your surroundings. Your island is not connected to any others except for the water that surrounds the planet. As you look into the distance you spot ominous clouds moving toward your position. You quickly move toward the palm trees in hopes of finding higher land or a cave. While racing to find a cave, you stumble upon a ladder. Quickly you climb down the ladder to be out of the way of the savage storm that is approaching. As you descend to the bottom of the cave you hear a sharp crunching noise as your foot lands on the ground. You examine the deceased person’s body and encounter a book. Begging the dead soul’s forgiveness you reach down and pry the journal from the remains. You open it and begin to read.

Alright. Hopefully that wasn’t too suspenseful for anyone. I doubt it. This is an idea for a new planet. The planet is composed of small islands. The islands are not connected and to travel across the water you will have to use a baes (New vehicle). The second lower floor is the bunker that others previous to you set up. Seeing as this level is quite large you will have a jeep (New Vehicle) to travel through the bunker to fight the enemy. The third level I did not mention before is the mining/lava area. (That will be similar to the gwars caves).

The “trick”:
The tricks on this map are plentiful. The storms make it impossible to travel outside at times. The bunker is poorly lit and you must use jeep lights. The lava flows/mine are lit by the lava but the lava can rise in areas and will cost your health points.

Classes: Seeing as your ship was damaged some materials managed to float off into space. I was thinking of 2 new classes already. The first class is your medic. They have to charge your bases power so you can respawn. If they don’t you may not be able to respawn. The medic’s have a new weapon that will charge the bases machines. Other than that you will have assorted classes each time.

The big “trick”:
Your team has 100 lives total. So if you have bad players on your team you may want to protect them. Otherwise they may waste your lives. The last team standing wins obviously.

Traveling:
While this world isn’t large the islands are connected by water so you must travel across water on the baes. You will not be able to shoot from the baes so be careful when traveling. Baes’s will not be able to protect you from storms.
The previous establishment has odd lighting so you may not be able to see well in some places. But you can travel in jeeps. (Jeeps will allow you to carry 2-3 players)
Also the lavacaves allow all weapons. But maybe certain ice weapons (That would be new) could freeze the lava up so that you may walk on it during a lava flow.

Your teams personal bunker:
While your base may not have enough power you have an energy efficient computer system. This computer system cannot be damaged. It will create a force field through which only your team may walk. This only protects the inside of your bunker.
Bunkers will have several entrances, exits so as to prevent laming.

Teams: Teams would be randomly generated and you could only have so many of a certain class. For example: 1 heavy infantry, 2 light infantry, 1 scout. (That is JUST AN EXAMPLE)

So does anyone like this? I know it isn't the best writing in the world but does this sound remotely fun?

[Dan]

I like the idea.

[PaperMario]

mm, reminds me of the Battlefield series too much.
This idea, no offense, seems more stolen than it is though of..

[DuBsTeRmAn]

I like it (Already said you at PM.)

[Huwajux]

This idea doesn't suit Zone's arcade playing style.

I've always wanted a kind of map like the Zombie Horde servers on Counterstrike. One team can only use melee but they have a ton of health which recovers gradually, and the other team have shotguns and normal health which doesn't recover.

I don't care if it's stolen, it's a bloody classic concept.

[Rescate]

I like it sounds perfect for like a guild vs server event or guild vs guild :O!

[IXIs_Last_Stand]

I like the idea.

[pooper200000]

@ Huwa
Yes I know most Zone worlds are shoot um up. GO GET UMS' YEA! "stuff"
I think this would be fun even if it does require some teamwork. I think the zone players might be able to learn.

They will learn after people who will work together do. They will learn after that. Rushing would be kind of hard in this one I think. Well not really but kind of at the same time if you know what I mean.

I like that we finally found a use for the baes more than anything.

Personally I can't see those big-butt machines being used for water transportation lol. Thats just me though.

SN, your idea is good but I don't think Zone players can learn teamwork unless we teach them how.. :O

[kia345]

Awesome idea is awesome.

I wouldn't be so hard to find on Zone with something like this.

Teach a zone player are you high ? nvm i dont want the answer
You might as well give a emo a bathtub full of razor blades <.<

Well thats none of your business first off... But you draw a strong point, your average Zone player can't walk and breath at the same time...

SN, maybe we can have Hover Bikes pulling one another over the water? Sorry, I just really can't see the Baes(sp?) walking over it...

[DeathOfRa]

Well thats none of your business first off...

The whole concept would be nice, I'm tired of laming and I always wanted to see a jeep out of Debug. Baes walking across water? Do they have floaties though?

They can be taught. The baes's large feet carry a device that strongly increases waters surface tension along with propelling you slightly with gusts of air to keep you from falling into the water. Thus these devices feet being so large. They also carry a sonogram in the body part of the baes that cleverly warns off all large predators. Eg. Those large fish I was talking about

U want a desert with jeeps?

Personally I have yet to hear a better idea involving them. They're useless; they don't do anything. They can't attack and you don't really move any faster when you're in one anyway. I could see them running across water from island to island if we added something to bump up the speed. It might seem odd at first but everyone would get used to it.

Adding a dead idea for the sake of adding a dead idea isn't smart. The baes were some reject project that never got around to being finished. They don't look like the kind of things to walk about on water, no matter how much you try and dress up an explanation.

A hovercraft would be more suited to crossing water than walking mechanisms that aren't even animated properly.

[kia345]

Something like a Higgins boat would be hot. Fit like, 10 people on each and it just heads straight to an island and crashes on shore.

[pooper200000]

Alright. So we need a new water traveling device? Hmm. I guess a hovercraft like huwa suggested unless someone else has a better idea? Baes can be used to walk on lava! Joking

[xAzerothx]

Maybe a hovercraft where you can push people off when you're over the water. It'd be awesome to have a melee fight and then knock someone off the boat and they drop into the water, dying.

Well, I can try to make a nice Hovercraft?

[pooper200000]

I guess @ name. I think I might ask HerrChris if he can

[Admins]

The BAES was made for the bomys back in 2001, but it also fits for the Kingdoms/Zone characters. For Zone I had the idea to use it as something like the jetpack, giving some protection when moving but using more energy than jetpack for flying.

The idea for this new planet sounds good, but it must be planned more (layout of the overworld, of the caves etc.)

[Pimmeh]

That almost smells like a green light, Stefan!
I really like this idea, adds some teamplay to the game
Medics would pwn.

Aaaanyway... Go design this, if you do it right you WILL get credit in the end.

[Knightmare1]

heres an idea... why dont the baes fly over water? i could see that. its drifting forward quickly as rockets blast from its feet.

Did you honestly read any of this thread?...
I'll post some designs for the map tomorrow.

lol

I think the Baes will need some better graphics.

And more than 2 different animation slides.

I think we have pretty much ruled out the base.

Are you just trying to bicker with him or what? I know you don't like him I think almost all of us can tell that... To quote yourself," I take it you guys don't like each other?"
If you aren't just trying to bicker then what are you talking about because you already said the baes should not be used...

Uh, no. I'm not trying to bicker with him because Daniel wasn't the one who Ganied the baes now, was he? I was just stating something else that would need confronting if the Baes were to be used.

[Bp852912]

I like the Idea.

[pooper200000]

As the title says I made the crude diagrams for stranded. These are crude diagrams. The numbers on the top level that correspond with the middle level are ladders that connect them from the middle level to the top level. The circle on the bottom level depicts the small area the lava flows will not touch. The 1, and 13 points would be warpers that are in the middle level of your base. Points 3, and 7 would be connectors to the bottom level from the middle level. They would be a barrel, or box. A secret passage much like the secret bunkers on Wild Cross. The islands on the top level would only be connected by a sea faring vessel, an undecided sea faring vessel.

Edit:
The first one (Going from the left) is the lava cave like area. The middle diagram is the bunker. The top diagram depicts the arrangement of the islands.

[Ravenblade1979]

Not bad for a concept.
