As you may have noticed in the recent update, a Kennel was teased. Of course, a Kennel would also mean dogs being included. This was quickly covered up on account of it being meant as a joke before getting to the real update. The Kennel icon alone did spark some interest, though we did not intend for that to happen. This is not to say dogs in APB are impossible. Chrono Tanks, MiGs, and Cruisers were impossible before, and yet here we are.
What it really boils down to is how can we best implement dogs into APB? After some internal discussion, we have thought it best to ask you, the players, for your input.
If you could put dogs in the game, how would you define them?
What role would they play?
How do we ensure the dogs do not overlap the flamethrower/starshina too much?
How would we encourage field use since dogs cannot reasonably damage buildings?
How would the attack work?
Should dogs even be playable or be AI-controlled bots?
These are the questions we're asking, and we would like your response.
And yes @des1206 we can easily give the dog a bark on the alt-fire.
[blurb]Dogs in APB. A possibility, though we would like your feedback first. More details in the thread.[/blurb]
