Body Armour?

[SayianOozaru]

You all do realize, 50 hp is;

less than 2 full hits with appirces (72 dmg)
1 plasmasabre cut (52 dmg)
the same as 2 hits with crossbow (48 dmg)
less than 2 hits with redpistole (80 dmg)
less than 2 hits with apripper (80 dmg)
less than 2 cuts with carrot (60 dmg)
less than 2 cuts with muramasa (70 dmg)
about 2 bullets from photon (48 dmg)
5 bullets from smg (50 dmg)
less than 4 shots with lr (60 dmg)

50 hp isn't as much as you guys are making it out to be.

i can imagine it now

DD is flying on his speeder after killing 20 ppl hes finnaly brought down, damn tazer noobs,but oh look!! he has his armor and kills them then flys away on his jetpack.

I now support this idea

Chances are, the trials will either have a medic or medpacks/cookies/holiday item to heal with.

Too much to be added onto a P2P. It's basically people with 80% health fighting people with 150% health. Don't add this idea just for the sake of putting armor into the game. It's a terrible idea and will be poorly implemented if it ever reaches Zone.

And P2P's won't?

Armour shouldn't give you more health, just weaken the blows. Perhaps keep it, but with armour on you only take 15% of the damage you would normally take, and the armour can only last 10 or so hits

Also make it realistic...i doubt body armor can stop a plasma sword unless it was body armor made of energy.

[anubis_wing]

Why not change it so you just take 85% of the damage (rounded up) from standard bullets (Ripper, SMG, Apps, etc.) Make 3 sets of armor, one Armor takes standard bullets, one armor takes plasma bullets and the other cuts melee damage by 32%.

Good idea. Expanding on that, different weapons could be more "piercing" against armors. For example, if hit by an SMG bullet you would only take 50% of the damage. Whereas a chaingun bullet would tear through you doing 75% damage. And the metallicrifle could do 100% ;]

Should be two types of shields, energy and normal physical.

The normal one reduces damage from normal guns/melee by a small bit and the energy shield reduces damage by energy guns/melee by a small bit.

No protection should be supplied against bikes crashing into you, mechs stomping, or explosions.

'Armour' is the British spelling and 'armor' is the American.

I love irony.

I'm not surprised.

plasmasabre damage ranges from 40-80..the body armor would stand a chance against it..
anyways body armor will just make it twice as hard to kill p2ps

Well, Zone IS a p2p server afterall. Trials (like me on weekdays) should be happy we're even getting a chance to play.
