Planes

[pilot riyo]

Since so many people here want new planes you should vote on it.

It's in the publics best intrest.

It's a full game, new planes would just ruin the balance.

I can see new perks in the distant future, but not new planes. And what Storm said.

What we need is an even better biplane :P

Like the one in the official banner, with the gatling guns on its wings!

agreed. but it would be cool for like a whole new perk like for example red/blue/green and yellow

and if they did make a plane they should make it that its second weapon is like a shiled and normal weapon shoot the mini missiles

P.S.

they should also fix Biplane and tweek randa and like loopy could have a quadruple shot or triple shot, that be awesome

It's not that he doesn't agree, we don't know that, he's just suggesting that you commit suicide.

I don't think anyone on their right mind would agree to double the loopy spam...

Calm down, I heard he's like 11 years old or so.

I'd never suggest such a thing, I was just trying to express my controversy against the double spam idea

You have to remember (or realise) how hard it is to effectively balance a game like this. (And I'm talking about the balance of fun as much as I am about the balance of power.) The more elements you add, the more difficult it becomes. There are 5 planes right now, and however many perks. Adding just one new thing means it has to be balanced against all those things. Look at the recent Bip patch, the afterburner energy usage was reduced by only 5% and the range increased by only 10. It's small incremental changes like that that work towards a well-balanced game, and introducing something new (and, frankly, unnecessary) means a whole ****load more minor and not so minor tweaks to make everything play nice together. If you're familiar with the trope of a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a tornado elsewhere, it should be easy for you to identify how much work adding something like that would be. Is your desire for a new plane really so great that you'd have that much development time spent on it, when it could be used for better things? Look through the suggestions forum and you see numerous things that could be prioritised above new planes. I mean, have you seen the server list? And the friends list? And the number of complaints about already existing planes? The great demand for more and better achievements? The frankly awful menu design? The ping on international servers? (I am convinced that could be better.) And I'm guessing the devs have a list of bugs as long as your arm, too.

I'm just saying, do you really need more than 5 planes? I say no.

Also, I've read a bunch of the new plane threads here, and I have yet to see a compelling reason for adding any of them. That's me, of course, and my opinions don't represent anyone but myself, but I suggest taking a more critical approach to ideas like this.

That's how I interpreted it, as a "anti-double spam" statment and nothing more.

Good job!

I wish some people could understand us

I'm sorry, I must have misinterpreted the 'suicide-bear-didnt-even-leave-a-not.jpg' picture. I'll post a random picture too.

Is that a Santa, full of loopy spam handing a suicide note?
