Umagon will now get an upgrade to "Ion Ammo" ...now do I get 6 more pages of pointless bitching? Tune in next week to see this pointless name crap continues.

So you have a problem with her getting an ammo that burns on contact is what your saying? Your either mad about the name or your mad about the function. We tell you that the name means dick and then you switch your argument to the function. Now as for your complaint, if you think your being targeted because your from Reborn or because of some other short of reason.Then your wrong, R34 came in, asked questions, waited for an answer and then gives an opinion based on the info he is given and then accepts the answer, he is also from Reborn and no one is jumping on his back at all. You, on the other hand, come in suggest ideas, when you told it doesn't work well with our game play set up, you then try every angle to make us change our mind. When that still doesn't work you then throw the "Why does everyone hate me !? Is it because I'm from Reborn? or because you guys just don't like me!" into play and add in the fact that you change your argument whenever the point goes belly up. Then you wonder why your getting negative feedback. Well sir, the difference here is others here come in with business man sense, where you have come in looking like a used car sells man. Hint of advice, if you keep it up your basically going to just become another APB_ICE and the out come of that means a lot of your posts are just going to go ignored or you'll REALLY become target. Just the fact your already trying to justify yourself in your sig. means your already on the way.

They will reset every new map.

Thank you guys that understand. Also I really like that name as well, you may have just named the ammo

Thank you ...... R315r4z0r is doing things the right way. He asks questions, waits for a answer and then gives helpfully advice. There is a difference between criticism and just nit picking and pointless bitching. Enduar and ICE knock it off or you'll ruin it for everyone. I have a thousand other things to worry about right now then to worry about such petty things. Both of you don't think out your ideas before you reply. Example: Enduar: How about a tech building that you could capture to give you insta rank Me: That would be way too over powered Enduar: Well how about a tech building that would grant you Vet. status for a cost. Now why would you want to go capture a building for a Vet status that you will already be able to buy in your own base. Now you may say "well this way you could just buy your ranking instead of having to earn it." Well wouldn't that take away the fun of earning the rank?

Are you guys really going to nit pick about an ammo name? If this how these blogs are going to turn out every time. I will stop posting updates. Instead of looking at whats important in the update you guys sperg out over very simple things. The ammo she will get will be a laser colored ammo that does burn damage, call it what ever you want. The only way you would even be able to see the name of it would be in level edit. And just for shits and giggles I think we will name it "pinkish-light-burnery ammo" just to prove how un-important it is.

Well, I'm not going to provide the stuff needed to do this if its going to mess up the game-play, I guess if mappers wants to do it they'll have to do it themselves. But I see this being way too over powered. Elite Cyborg Commandos and Ghost stalkers are going to be a night mare at elite status. I don't see any reason to have them insta-rank to elite because you capture a building. Couple things here, No it isn't Star Wars but for the record Star Wars doesn't have a trade mark on lasers. Second, in most movies with guns with laser ammo. Hardly any of them travel at the speed of light. Third, There is not at all any in-game naming that you would be able to see that is going to classify the ammo as a Laser ammo. If you don't like it being called lasers so much call if what ever you want. Call it pinkish-light-burnery ammo for all I care but the basic idea is ammo that will burn you.

Yeah that would be the best, I figured your veterancy level would stay for a whole rank which is why I thought Generalcamo's suggestion wouldn't be as nice as a continuous small stream of XP to the whole team. If the veterancy only lasts till you die, which is what actually is being implemented, the idea of having to enter the building is better. This idea would water down the Vet system and make it way to easy to rank up and OP for units like commandos.

Yes we will make it like a laser beam look. but she will not be a sniper

Wish you could have asked these for the pod cast

The Umagon laser shot fits, and No to the Nod cloaking thing. The way the promotion system will work is. Points and kills will go to your "Rank points" once a certain amount of "Rank points" are acquired you will be promoted. Each unit will have a certain amount of "Ranking points" to be promoted. As for reset each round thing I talked about before, that applies to the Retaining aspect we hop to be able to apply. Yes and no . We hope to have it set up so, If you reach X promotion for X unit you will somehow be able to go re buy that promoted unit for a price increase. So lets say I died as a Vet.Rocket Soldier I could either just buy another Rocket Soldier for lets say 300 or I could buy the Vet. Rocket Soldier the price and a half of the reg. Rocket Soldier. So lets then say I took that Vet. Unit and got it promoted to Elite and died. When I come back I should be able to buy the Elite for double the reg. price or buy the Vet. soldier or just by the Reg. non promoted unit. Yes in a sense

Yes, we can make units uncrushable. We're not entirely sure yet if we can add that the uncrushable part as a ranking thing. We're going to try to get it figured out. As for the re-buying your rank thing. That is still being worked on but I'm pretty sure it will not be a capture able tech building. We're hoping to have it show up on the side bar somehow. I'm not sure what your talking about. TS had two rankings the little [][] was vet. and the star * was Elite. And AR doesn't have a tech system.

Hello fans! We’re back again with another Tiberian Sun Reborn update. We're going to start this blog by talking about the promotion upgrades, so let’s get started! [][] = Veteran Rank upgrade * = Elite Rank upgrade GDI Light Infantry [][] Armor / health upgrade * Bullet speed/range increase Technician [][] Resistant to splash damage * Faster repair tool Engineer [][] Resistant to splash damage * Faster repair tool / Faster hacking Disk Thrower [][] Armor / health upgrade * Incendiary disk Medic [][] Poison Resistance / Self heal * Heal radius Jumpjet [][] Armor/ health upgrade * Bullet speed/range increase / Radar invisibility Umagon [][] Resistant to splash damage * Laser Ammo / burn damage Officer [][] Armor / health upgrade / self heals * Bullet speed/range increase / Uncrushable Ghost Stalker [][] Armor / health upgrade * Better Range/Splash / Faster reload Riot Trooper [][] Poison Resistant * Incendiary Ammo A.A. Trooper [][] Armor / health upgrade * Faster rockets / Flak shot NOD Light Infantry [][] Armor / health upgrade * Armor Piercing Technician [][] Resistant to splash damage * Faster repair tool Engineer [][] Resistant to splash damage * Faster repair tool / Faster hacking Rocket Soldier [][] Armor / health upgrade * Faster rockets/ larger splash radius Chameleon Spy [][] Fire Resistant * Shorter knife cooldown / knife lunge Mutant Hijacker [][] Resistant to splash damage * Tiberium Ammo for Uzi Confessor [][] Fire Resistant * Faster reload / Splash damage Cyborg [][] Armor / health upgrade * Major armor upgrade / better ammo / Cannon arm Cyborg Commando [][] Fire Resistant * Flame thrower Elite Cadre [][] Armor / health upgrade / self heals * Armor Piercing / Un-crushable Toxin Trooper [][] Fire Resistant * Blue Tiberium upgrade This is just a general idea of how promotions will affect each unit. Everything here is subject to change. Promotion Idea We hope to have it set up so, If you reach X promotion for X unit you will somehow be able to go re buy that promoted unit for a price increase. So lets say I died as a Vet.Rocket Soldier I could either just buy another Rocket Soldier for lets say 300 or I could buy the Vet. Rocket Soldier the price and a half of the reg. Rocket Soldier. So lets then say I took that Vet. Unit and got it promoted to Elite and died. When I come back I should be able to buy the Elite for double the reg. price or buy the Vet. soldier or just by the Reg. non promoted unit. Next up we’ll show off our Limpet Drone. This beautiful little guy was made by Mick. Mick has been helping us out quite a bit lately so I want to throw him a special shout out in this blog They will be controlled by terminals in the radar towers. Guy_with_a_Wrench has decided to take up selling houses in the TSR universe. Let’s take a look at what’s on the market. Guy_with_a_Wrench is stilling working on this but I must say, I think this is a very good start We have done the podcast, but due to a few mishaps we are going to have to edit it up a bit before posting, so you can expect that sometime soon. Team Status Update: *Renardin has been very sick lately so let’s wish him a speedy recovery. *Dark Angel is still working on the Nod Tech center. *Spice is still working on the GDI service depot. *OWA joined me and Lord_Kane in the podcast and is now editing it for us. *Dtrngd has just taken his drivers test so if your in Hungary, stay off the sidewalk ! *GWAW has been busy with school lately. *CJ and PointlessAmbler have been working on RC 2.1 for APB . *TheBeerinator has been doing everything except the heavy tank. *Most the other team have been off in the BF3 war. We're hoping they come back alive.

We already have that into to the works

I was just informed that it can't be done to infantry units anyway.

Hey ^

The buildings will take the same damage if you shoot the MCT or the outside. To repair you will have repair at the MCT and the Ghost stalkers C4 will have to hit the MCT. The major difference between the APB set up and our set up is that shooting the buildings with reg. bullets will do very very little damage where if you hit it with something like a Disk/Rocket/Plasma/Rail gun shot is will do a good deal of damage. I've also been playing around with the idea of maybe making it so if your BAR/HON are destroyed you loose all the your special infantry and will be left with Techs, Light, one Anti Vehicle unit. So GDI will be left their Disk throwers and Nod their Rocket Soldier. That could help take done whoring and some rage quits.

Yes you will be able to leave an EMP effected veh., Also not sure about Cyborgs being effected yet due to the engine and balance.

Tbh probably not

Yes, no more proxy mines and your not going to be able to throw them on team mates

EMPs will probably only effect Veh.

Exactly why I said people are still bases their ideas off of APB and Ren. with out even thinking of the new game-play changes.

My knew idea for PP's will be that if a PP gets destroyed maybe have buildings take more damage from hacking/attacks. Tech Center building effects are still being worked on.

I have another idea for PP. Have to make sure it can be done first but I think it'll make to most sense. As for the ammo it will be unlimited and stay that way.

Power Plant price increase probably will not be happening either now that I think about it. It won't work well with how we plan on doing our Vet. system.
