freeziez's Backlash Showcase

[freeziez]

Since I think that there should be a separate Backlash Showcase section, I have started my Backlash Showcase.

All Aboard the SS Destruction


Vertical Mayhem


TriPlow

[Badnik96]

Triplow needs a weapon :P

and is AATSSD realistic?

I need to stary my Backlash showcase.. Then again I need to make something worth showcasing in Backlash XD

[JoeBlo]

all are illegal since you combined different category parts 

also Ampflow would be a much better drive over the weapon motors

[freeziez]

all are illegal since you combined different category parts 

I really don't care, I just like to have fun! 

[Badnik96]

Wait, Joe, do Backlash bots have to be realistic?

[JoeBlo]

yes like DSL you abuse and throw things at people who dont build realistically :P

WTF is this exactly ?

LURK MOAR

[JoeBlo]

WTF is this exactly ?

I thought you went on holiday not lived under a rock :P

each tab, Power, Extenders, Weapons, etc has become a separate, VS, HS, SnS, etc have different components to balance out the game and make them more like real life robots.

^ Which, if I may point out, still makes no sense.

[freeziez]

No, it makes perfect sense, it's just that I don't see why it's "illegal" if I combine different class parts if THEY ARE ONLY RECOMMENDED.

[R0B0SH4RK]

Please explain to me how restricting certain parts to certain classes enhances realism then. It makes no sense.

[MassimoV]

TriPlow needs a weapon.

Vertical Mayhem looks really good, but I think the wheels are exposed.

AATSSD is really cool, but where's the chassis.

All look really cool.

[JoeBlo]

No, it makes perfect sense, it's just that I don't see why it's "illegal" if I combine different class parts if THEY ARE ONLY RECOMMENDED.

lolz I made the mod and your debating with me over it, its the rules and point of the game, just like realistic rules.

Please explain to me how restricting certain parts to certain classes enhances realism then. It makes no sense.

have you ever seen a VS with 8 sledge hammers? or a SnS/ Whipper with 24 razor spikes ? it keeps parts to there real life use, if you dont like it then simply dont play Backlash.. because its the way I wish to do it now.

@ JoeBlo:
 
Have you ever seen a HS with 8 sledgehammers? Have you ever seen a SnS with 8 sledgehammers? Have you ever seen ANYTHING with 24 razor spikes in real life? I haven't. I respect that that's the way you want to do things, and after some preliminary use I like the tabs and I'm glad you came up with the idea, but not allowing crossover is completely idiotic. Your argument that "these parts aren't used on these bots IRL" is not only flimsy in itself, but it's outright wrong. Sledgehammers have been used on VS before, Blade Runner was a whipper with spikes, and only permitting two types of wheels per class is absurd. There are no such rules binding real life competitions, so to assert that there are and then enforce them does the exact opposite of what you really want. It's not more realistic, it's less so.

However, I have to say I'm really impressed with this beta. Exceptional UI is exceptional, and chucking your opponents around is a ton o' unholy fun :D

I'm not sure why you're not taking any criticism though. This beta is the best chance you will ever get to recieve both positive and negative feedback from the community, and consequently get a feel for what players do and don't find fun. Then, you'll have the information you'll need to make Backlash the shiniest and bestest mod evar. Long in short, instead of "no moaning 'cuz it's not done," go for "moan until your lungs fall out so I know what to fix."

We should probably continue this discussion in the First Blood thread since we're (okay, mainly me) hijacking Freeziez's thread xD
