[Ferreira]

Hello, my name is Ferreira and this is my suggestion thread for S4L, intitled "Ferreira's Massive S4League Suggestion Thread", preety original name huh?

Before you start reading there are a few things I need to clarify :

-This topic is in the right section and was autorized by Reiki himself and also Pinned by himself;

-This topic does NOT violate AlaPlaya/Pentavision rules, since I am not forcing anything, ONLY giving suggestions to improve the game;

-These are MY suggestions made upon artwork of the game (mostly) and also original ideas;

-I will ask Reiki to personaly remove ANY spam posts from this thread in order to keep it tidy and civilized, since I want a major AlaPlaya and/or Pentavision Staff Member to see OUR work;

-Content that is allready in-game but is not yet released WILL appear below, since Pentavision has the power to remove any content from the game if they wish to do so.



Well, now for the actual thread. It is located in the Spoiler below, open it.
I put it that way so people would lag less while loading this page.

I ask for creative critisicm. Share youre toughts as well as more suggestions. Remember, spam posts will be removed.



Clothes :

Spoiler

-GM Clothes Set- Available ONLY for S4 GM's in all Leagues

-AlaPlaya Shirt - EU exclusive

-burda: ic Shirt - EU exclusive

-Pmang Shirt - KR exclusive

-Pentavision Shirt

-Neowiz Shirt

-ESL Shirt - given as a participation prize to all in the S4 Versus Tournaments hosted on ESL

-Connect Hip-Hop Cap

-Doll Style Clothes Set

-Large Ponytail Hair

-Classic Ponytail (botom right corner girl)

-School Uniform Set (shirt, jacket, pants, etc.)

-Ethnic skin tones - African, European, Latin, Asian skin colours (to have more diversity and less racism-ish).

-Fumbi Pet

-Basicly, all unreleased clothes from the Alpha Sketches - Pentavision is adding ugly sets like the Cotton Cat one, so why not add the cool ones ?

-Complete NB Rangers Clothes Set - renaming Envy Clothes to NB since the original name is "NB Rangers", thusly promoting the DJMAX series.

-Police Man/Women Set

-A simple pair of pants and T-shirt (Casual Clothes Set).

-New colours for the default clothes, like Grey, Black, White, Brown, Purple, Light Orange

-More selectable colours for Hairs and Acessory : Afro Perm, Vintage, Baseball Cap

-Selectable colours for the Master Set

-Bandit Style

-Longer hairs for Male Chars. - It's 2050 for crying out loud, let the guys have some crazy ass long hairs

-Basic Type Pading Clothes - Added selectable colours (the ones from Open Beta)

-All PEN items added to the AP & Premium Shops, but yet respective stats

-Default clothes (the Hobo ones) added to the Shops with respective stats. They would equip as any other clothing items tough

-Penalty to Master Items reduced by 10%-20% of its current value

-Boeing Sunglasses - +300.000 PEN Bonus (with its Female Char. equivilant). AP-only obviously

-MegaMan series spoof clothes - Since NeoWiz has joined forces with Capcom to make a MegaMan MMORPG, having a set of clothes in the game that are from the MegaMan series would be free publicity, as well as been futuristic (like the Space Suit Set)

-Dinosaur Set - T-Rex for Guys, Pterodactyl for Girls

-The equipment of the team that wins the FIFA World Cup added to the game

-Master Set re-named to Sensei Set (in order to work with the following suggestion

-Shinobi Set - A additional Combi Master Set, wich clothes unlock in LVL spacings between the Master, thus people being more rewarded for helping newer players

-Birthday Cake Pet - A accessory just like the Space Bunny but is a walking & bouncing birthday cake, given to all accounts on the 1st birthday of it's creation

-BackPack Accessory- Instead of the normal extra Stats given, it would increase the amount of ammo you could carry (for Sentry's & the Grenade Launcher)

Chaser Dolls :

Spoiler

-Nightmare (the girl siting in the Throne)

Spoiler

- A Chaser Doll focused on visibility. Instead of folowing you when you are the Chaser, she would stay in the middle of the stage where the Chaser spawns. With it, the enemies would glow brigther red ,leaving a small trail when moving. Movement speed decresed as well as damage.
Since it Virus would stay in the middle, all damage taken to it will decrease the Chaser's HP.

-Dragon

Spoiler

- When the DragonNade and Shenron have a baby. It focuses on speed. SP consumption decreases dramaticly and Movement Speed increases dramaticly (3 times the HG walking speed). Damage decreases. The problem with this is to control so much speed

Weapons :

Spoiler

-Hockey Club - Storm Bat G-Capsule

-Microfone - Storm Bat G-Capsule

-Counter-Sword D

-Counter-Sword E

-Counter-Sword F -
Turns out that the CS was really in the early Alpha

-Nippondo (allready in-game, just not yet released)

-Nippondo A

-Nippondo B

-Master Nippondo - Available to ONLY Combi Master's of Rank 38 or higher

-Alpha Heavy Machine Gun (see at 01:06) - Heavy Machine Gun G-Capsule

-Beta Heavy Machine Gun - Heavy Machine Gun G-Capsule

-Revolver C

-Plasma-Sword G

-Medicinal Plasma-Sword - The "I can heal you" Plasma Sword, Plasma-Sword G-Capsule

-Plasma-Sword I - Botom right corner guy

-SMG D - Guy at the middle firing

-Cards - Slow firing speed, very high accuracy, 52 magazine with infinite reloads.

-Doberman - Burst Shotgun G-Capsule. I saw this on S4Project Gallery and just couldnt resist

-Busted Semi-Rifle - Spy Dagger G-Capsule. Just a broken Semi-Rifle A (like the one from the Cupon)

-Vuvuzela - Burst ShotGun G-Capsule

-Master Weapons for Combi Masters over Rank 30. After that rank, 1 new Master Weapon
would be unlocked per-rank, being the one unlocked chosen at random. They would have a +8 Force Pack, but remember they would be REALLY hard to get. They would be Asian-styled like the Master clothes.

-A small "rebalance" of VitalShock in order for it to not feal OP at the view of Pentavision (it actualy isnt OP, you can kill faster with the PS, CS and Bat and with just 2 or less hits)

-The idle stance animation for the Sentry and Nell fixed in Male Chars, to a pose similar to the Female Chars ones

-Effects for Mind Energy swaped for the Alpha ones

-Arm Cannon G-Capsule - A G-Capsule for the Cannonade or the Rail Gun. Free publicity for NeoWiz's newest game

Skills :

Spoiler

-Metallic (allready in-game, just not yet released)

-Berserker (allready in-game, just not yet released)

-eSper Master - HP+25 + SP+35 (unlocked at Combi Master Rank 40)

-Meditation - Active Skill. When you have 80 or more SP you can press Shift to activate the skill. You would then sit in a meditation pose and become imobilized. You would then start glowing bright blue (red for your enemies), healing yourself completly at a decent speed. SP is consumed at the same speed you heal. Using this skill would give you a small speed boost

-Kamikaze - Active Skill. Name is self explanitory. Needs 75 or higher amount of SP in order to explode, killing yourself and destribuiting your HP to teammates who have do not have HP under 40 at the exact time you explode

-AP Version of Skills added to the Premium/AP Section of the Shop wich you can buy for days instead of hours

Maps :

Spoiler

-Alpha Version of Station-1 available as Station-0 (or Subway if it sounds better)

-Connest-2 available for DM Mode (it's big enough for it and has the necessary spaces in wich you can hide, camp, spawn, etc.)

-Temple-O available for DM Mode (it's big enough for it and has the necessary spaces in wich you can hide, camp, spawn, etc.)

-Circle available for Chaser Mode (You would automaticly drop below at the beggining of each round while the Chaser is being presented)

-Circle Spawn Pods Fix - They automaticly open 2 seconds after someone spawns, that way you only have 1 second of Invunerability when it opens

-City Map (TD) (see at 0:55) (allready in-game, just not yet released)

-A Beach Map (TD/DM), not necisarily exclusive for EU. Since AlaPlaya means "At The Beach" and in every announcement made by the company is folowed by "From the AP Beach Patrol" it is logical to have one.

-During the Winter, all maps would get a slight coat of snow on the ground and ontop of stuff like boxes, etc.

-NetSphere-2 (DM) - not necesarily THIS part of it, but a part of the NetSphere compound

Menus/Settings :

Spoiler

-Abillity to change the in-game HUD from it's current look to the Alpha look (look from 1:54 to 2:11)

-The amount (in numbers) of SP you have is shown in the bar, just like it appears on the HP bar

-Ability to add and change the songs in Chaser Maps, just like in TD and DM maps

-Adding songs to the soundtrack that were previously impossible to see (like Tutorial No.3, NanoRisk, and Brave It Out!)

-Abillity to set up to 5 songs per map (TD/DM/Chaser exclusive, disabled for Arcade Maps)

-Each Chaser Map has it's own music:

Spoiler

Temple-O - Oblivion or Nightmare
Circle-2 - NB Rangers Return
Connest-2 - Enemy Storm
BlockBuster - My Alias

-Higher and more detailed, Cell Shading Effects under the "Highest" Graphical Selection (to reduce lag, this would only be available for paying users)

-The S4 Game Launcher with revamped looks, the old OB look is marjorly outdated

-Game available in Portuguese and Turkish. This way all the languages mentioned in the server names would be available

-Room LVL Gap Option now has the ability for you the ability to manualy choose the minimum and maximum level of players in the room (better way to stop hackers for joining a room)

-G's and I's Capsules previewable

-Hide PW Protected Rooms - We seriously need this since the game is overrun by Neden-1 SO DMs PW'd Rooms and when trying to see a open room your eyes are bombarded by a very fancy lock

-Weapon Allignment Chance - Basicly you can change from Left & Right Allignment, wich makes you (for example) hold a Smash Rifle on your left hand instead of the right one. All animations mirrored when switching from Right to Left.
Clicking Z will not affect the allignement

-Machinima Mode - You can select what HUD you want to turn off. Helpfull for making videos on S4 while not having the HUD cramming up place when it isnt desired

-In-Game advertisement Section (aka "Theather") where other companies pay to show advertisements about theire stuff

Other Stuff :

Spoiler

-Adding of Easy Difficulty to Arcade Mode. Obviously the rewards would be smaller

-KRS4 Arcade Reward System implemented on EUS4

-LVL 5 Missions - Of course theyre even harder but you get 2000-3500 PEN per mission

-Arcade Capsules set by level. Example : Arcade Capsule - Easy, Arcade Capsule - Normal, etc.

-Actual ability of navigating trough the Clan Menu in the S4 Websites (AlaPlaya & Pmang)

-S4 with selectable language for all languages spoken in Europe (basicly adding Portuguese, Romenian, etc.)

-The S4 Launcher needs to get some new looks allready don't you think ?

-A miniature of your country's flag now shows behind your rank in the TAB menu. Non directly supported countrys would show a grey rectangle with a red X on the middle

-All events (like Saint Patrick's Day & Oktoberfest and more events like White Day from KRS4) return every year, so there can be a more streached content trough patches

-Every 2 patches, a Coupon Event should be started in order to thank the AP users for supporting AlaPlaya

-When disconnected from ANY game server (it being the normal Game Server or Chat Server) a "Re-connect" option SHOULD be available once the message pops up

-All P2P (Peer-to-peer) connections in the game should be switched to normal connections to the game server, thusly reducing the game lag significatly. Most people have a good internet connection, it's the fact that you connect to other people in the game room that causes humongus lag since most people live far away from each other

-FPS Limiter. Basicly it limit's the frame rate of the game from 16 to 99, thus making players have a better experience while playing when combining with the ideia above of this one.

-A extra PEN+ event should be added to the game until the end of the Summer, to help player recover from the lousy PEN economy

-Accesories added to the Fumbi Shop (except Chaser Dolls)

Achivement System :

Spoiler

Not like the Mission System but one revolving on doing specific actions in-game and achieving certain goals. For every achivment you complete you would get some sort of bonus. A Achivment would be like this example :

Devoted Athelete - Dash for the equivalent of 10 hours (Basicly when you start dashing the game would save the amount of time you dashed and continusly stack it until it gets to 10 hours)

Mobile Defense - Gain 40 Defense Points by killing the enemy ball carrier you are in his base (self-explanitory)

Pratice Makes Perfection - Destroy 600 Sentry Guns without taking a hit by any one of them

PENionaire - Get 1 million PEN

No Lifer - Stay online in the game for over 10 hours

Arcade Master - Complete Arcade Mode (any difficulty) over 100 times

All Your Fumbi Are Belong to Us - Grab the Fumbi in the beggining of the first 4 rounds

Go Back to the Kitchen - Smash Rifle smash someone into a enemy laser

Spirit Bomb - Kill 6 guys with 1 Grenade Launcher shot

Broken Wheels - Score a TD while walking with the HMG firing

Like a Ninja - Score a TD with Invisible activated

Back to da Kitchen - Smash-Rifle smash a enemy into a corner of the map

You be hattin - Get 3 room kicks in 25 seconds

Dont run, it's just ham - Score 6 people with the Metal Storm in 15 seconds

Carrying is my thing - Score all the TDs of 5 TD Matches (over 20 min)

Temporary DeathMatch - Be in a TD Match where nobody picks up the Fumbi for 2 minutes

Fumbi-a-holic - Roll at least 3 times on Fumbi every day for a whole month

Needs more vuvuzelas - Kill 10 in in 2 minutes in a DM with the Valentine Shotgun G-Capsule

Batter up! - Do a total of 1000 kills with Storm Bat

Punch you out of the Milky Way - With a CS uppercut, trow the same enemy 10 times in 1 match off the map

Class Reunion - Score 5 TDs when the entire enemy team is at ,the maximum of, 10 meters from the goal


OverAchiver - Complete all Achivements (unlocks the OverAchiver Jacket)

Gauntlet Mode :

Spoiler

Basicly, like a Challenge Mode wich gives several Challanges with diferent levels of difficulty that span a variety of goals to comeplete in order to pass.
Max. players per room would be 6.
Due to the insane difficulty, this mode would only be unlocked when you leveled up to Rank 21.

Here are a few challenges :

Survival of the Fittest - Survive the Parent Virus', Captain Guard & Monk's attack for 10 minutes.

Efficiency is the Key to Sucess - Kill all Virus' (about 7000 of them) within the time limit (4 minutes)

Evacuation - You start in Stage 8 of Arcade Mode and have to run from there to Stage 1 where a Goal Post Portal is there to teleport you off. 3 minutes time limit, all enemies and bosses appear as you run and WILL attack you on sight and will run out to get you

Wild Goose Chase - You start in the woods after Stage 8 and you have to hunt down

Population Control - Kill all 20 waves (each with 30 enemies) of Infected eSpers (SMG, Cannonade, PS, CS and HMG)

Leagues :

Spoiler

READ THIS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!
I am mearly suggesting that they SHOULD do this, not that they DID this or are planning to do it.

You may remember Prosti's post on a thread I made a while ago when I found a Tailandese site teasing a new league.
What I am suggesting below is a way for most S4 players stay happy and not be forced to switch leagues (from EU to NA, if NA comes out, and this is not yet confirmed) and thus could continue playing normaly and with better quality and diversity of players.

http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/1921/s4leaguemap.png

With this, the S4 comunity would be greatly expanded, but since Neowiz is looking for money (it's sad and true), this may never happen, but they should take this into consideration, since a bigger League equals a better income source.

The new server list would be as follows :

Spoiler

United Kingdom
Germany
France
Portugal/Spain/Italy
Romenia/Turkey
Sweden/Norway/Finland
Ukraine/Greece
Iceland
Canada
United States - West Coast
United States - East Coast
Mexico

Implemented List :

Spoiler

-Adding of Insane Difficulty to Arcade Mode. In a nutshell, take Stage-7 in Hard and make it harder. - Added last EU Patch as eSper difficulty

-KRS4 Pen Reward System implemented on EUS4 -

Johnwiddin, on 08 May 2010 - 03:44 PM, said:

the pen gain system KRS4 has. In that you gain pen based on a percentage of your level which caps out at 30 (being 30% bonus.)

I was under the impression Neowiz lost its licensing for NAS4 because they hadn't moved forward with it.

We are also lacking the pen gain system KRS4 has. In that you gain pen based on a percentage of your level which caps out at 30 (being 30% bonus.)

But in all seriousness, yes, it is a state. You should edit that part.

-AP version of skills, wich use less SP (for Active Skills) and are faster/stronger (Flying moving speed is 50% faster and Block now has 200 HP for example) or have a bigger boost (range for Detect, HP+42 for HP Mastery and SP+50 for SP Mastery)

No.

Please no.

[pinktea~]

Why would the Canadian server include Iceland? I call getting Greenland too
I would like to play with polar bears on s4 :(

What Alice said and Xygnus agreed with. We don't need AP skills. :/

This thread, has some really good suggestions, although i doubt that any of them will be implemented on today's S4 <_<

-Kamikaze - Active Skill. Name is self explanitory. Needs 75 or higher amount of SP in order to explode, killing yourself and doing 130 damage to all enemies in a area 2,3x larger then the Cannonade's AoE

skills are not meant to deal any dmg they are meant to assist in you killing someone. In my opinion this is a silly idea. if they actually made skills that did dmg all you'd see in games is 6 Kamikaze's. "OH HAY WE ALL RUN IN KEEL EVERYONE AND YOU RUN INTO GOAL OKAY! WE DONT EVEN NEED GUNS GUYZ"

-Room LVL Gap Option now has the ability for you the ability to manualy choose the minimum and maximum level of players in the room (better way to stop hackers for joining a room)

don't we already have that?

AP version of skills, wich use less SP (for Active Skills) and are faster/stronger (Flying moving speed is 50% faster and Block now has 200 HP for example) or have a bigger boost (range for Detect, HP+42 for HP Mastery and SP+50 for SP Mastery)

No... just No

I have issues with some other suggestions but those are just my personal things that would probably just irritate only me but mostly every other thing seems like good additions to the game.
