SA suggestions

[Justin]

I know this is going to turn into total spam, but I'm going to try anyway.

Please post your suggestions for Stick Arena here. Make them realistic - small changes like "I think the glock is too powerful, the damage should be decreased a little", not "You need to add 50 new weapons and 100 more maps!!!1!"

Please: DO NOT post suggestions unless you have actually PLAYED the game. Any posts of this nature WILL be considered spam and will be subject to deletion and fines.

My suggestion is:

I think games that have a full 4 players should not be removed from the list in the lobby, but rather show up with an * beside them and when clicken on the "Join game" button will say "Full"

That way you know if other people are actually online or not. If there are games going on, I'll stick around to play, but if nobody is even logged on, I'm going to just leave.

I would like to see the AK-47 in Trench Run.

[Coheed]

I agree with Evil Penguin, was my idea.

[˙·٠•●Motherloader●•٠·˙]

You need to add 50 new weapons and 100 more maps!!!1!


A little graphical revamping would be in order.

Even on high quality, the backrounds look but ugly.

[noobpwner1]

I like your idea, Justin. Very helpful.

I would like it if your speed would slightly decrease when you're carrying a sword. This would at least give an unarmed/recently respawned person a chance to get away.


Also, Impulse came up with an idea to make a change to the Xgen HQ map. Look:

http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/7738/map2yc.png

[˙·٠•●Motherloader●•٠·˙]

But isn't the big office supposed to be excusive?

That would make it too easy to get to the clock and the AK-47.

[Justin]

I like that map suggestion. That little alcove is just a deathtrap.

[Ice Punk]

especially since it's a big spawn point.

[Justin]

Yeah, you can just lurk there with a shotgun and blast people as they spawn

:)

[The Prodigal]

O.K.
(off topic)

why not use...comments@xgenstudios.com?
yes? no?

My suggestions are as follows:
You must be able to hit with the hammer part of the sledge. It doesn't make sense this instant kill junk off the hilt. This might be just me, but I seriously know I have hit many people with the hammer, and they run right by me.

Agreed with the image above, that's an excellent idea.

Do glocks normally shoot that quietly? if so ignore this bottom statement.
Also, last I checked, the Glock doesn't have a silencer, but somehow it's shooting's sounding extremely silent?

Why not add a little addition, make the glock completely silent; no one can hear a glock shooting from off-screen. You can't hear swords either.

What if...what if you could do a rifle butt with your gun somehow?

Make different types of game terrain. There's only three: building, worksite, and sewers! Make one in the forest! then you can hide behind trees and stuff!

Tying in with above, make different kinds of terrain, with different kinds of lay-outs. I mean like, a forest would have plenty of trees for cover.

I think I have more, but I can't think any more.

[e p]

I would like another theme for a level (e.x: space).

[Syrito]

Either make instant-use medipacks or allow us to press a button that will kill us in 10 seconds when not near enemies.

[Darcy!]

I know they cant change this but its hard that if you use WASD keys that when your talking you cant move.

[Cloudy]

all the online shooters i know do that darc10222

[Halo007]

How about no random spawn points. I always spawn in a big firefight.

[bronzeevil]

Something I noticed was that the hammer can kill even after it hits the ground. The way I usually kill people with it (because i suck with it) is to just spin around after it hits the ground, because the head will kill when you arn't just holding it normally. Not sure if that was purposeful or not, but it's kinda weird.

Also, in the toxic sewars, you should take damage from being in the green sludge. Not much, but it would be a bit more realistic.

[eatmorchikin6464]

Change the music.

[Jshall]

Maybe have like a super gun that just kills everyone and you win automatically

*wink*

But maybe not different weapons in function but just differnet looking ones. Instead of a AK47 an AR33 instead of a sledge a chain saw and so on. Just to add a little varity. And possibly different areas/maps.

[Jshaw71]

My suggestion: (I am not sure if this can be done but here's some thoughts) different types of handguns, shotguns, rifles, (different firing speeds, different damage, some more powerful, others not as powerful) also add handheld explosives, like grenades molitov cocktials, tear gas. I would like to see body armor and health pickups to be used later on.

I know this is going to turn into total spam, but I'm going
to try anyway.

[h00pla]

Maybe it's just my comp but it takes time for the damage i cause against someone to register. so when i kill someone with the sledge they still have time to get in a swipe with the sword or something

[Justin]

Yeah, I've noticed that too. It results in a lot of double kills - I gank someone but they still have time to shotgun me to death before the hit registers, and so we both die simultaneously.

Rather annoying, actually

[Jshall]

And if you manage to spin the sledge while attacking you can kill two with one hit.

[Shadow Crest]

One's a glitch, one's a recommendation.

The glitch, and it really bugs me on the pit-
Sometimes, when you are coming up a ramp from the left, you can't climb it. I can't tell you how many times I've been ganked, shot at, etc. like that.

The reccomendation (if possible)-
Make the guns a little less accurate if you are firing while moving.

[zelab]

Sorta the same suggestion as ShadowC's: Make the ramps wider. There pretty hard to get onto when you're running, and if someone has a gun when you have a melee weapon, and you're stuck on a ramp, you're dead.

[Shadow Crest]

Another one I just noticed-

If you say that we can only use a-z, A-Z, periods, commas, and spaces in game names and user names, can you let us? Any time I put a space, period, or comma in as a new game, it won't accept. User name, I think it works fine, except spaces.

[Cloudy]

HA im getting a key by tommorrow. Dannys giving keys for free XD YAY for me

[Shadow Crest]

I already have one, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!

I also think that we shouldn't be allowed to hammer people through walls.

[ssgtGrimreaper]

HA im getting a key by tommorrow. Dannys giving keys for free XD YAY for me

And where did you hear this?

[Syrito]

Map editor and fog of war.

[Cloudy]

And where did you hear this?

hmmm i dont know MAYBE THE STICKY TOPIC AT THE TOP OF THE SA page. Sorry for caps.

[Donkey2008]

ok i noticed that how many kills u have determined winner. and "your" death count was like a back up incase a tie. i think it should be kills-minus"your" deaths=winner.
(juss a suggestion)

EDIT: nvm. cuz what if some1 enters towards the end.(dont sound fair)dont listen to that post.

[Toasterovenmakingtoast]

Hmmm maybe take away the lag that happens when there are two people fighting?

[Justin]

Doesn't lag for me (usually) unless I'm playing against someone with a really bad computer.

[Jshall]

Its kinda funny to see someone just jump from place to place or appear all around the screen because of lag. They you gank them.

[Swas]

It'd be difficult, and im not expecting anything; different playing styles i.e: capture the flag, or even team battles.

[Donkey2008]

^^^^^good idea. Also I dont think ppl should be able to pick up weapons while they're invincible.(after they die and juss start up again). cuz that gives them lots of time to kill you.

[Toasterovenmakingtoast]

Put some arena's there there are no hiding spots. Just an open arena. Also maybe an ice arena where you can never stop you justkeep sliding. Kind of like pacman. You never stop in pacman. But back to the ice suggestion. If you pressed left you could not stop going left untill you pressed up, right or down. You know what I'm saying?

[h00pla]

I also think that we shouldn't be allowed to hammer people through walls.

It's over the wall, not through, just ask tannon

[nikoo21]

It's over the wall, not through, just ask tannon

i never played it but it does sound good if u can hit them through the walls into the other rooms and the wall falls down

[GorillaStudios]

I think it would be kool to do something like capture the flag. Also it would be nice if you could duck behind stuff and not get shot. This makes it more realistic. It would be kool if we could also drop mines.

- GorillaStudios

[h00pla]

just a note: that green makes it difficult to read

ducking is a good idea. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted t crouch hump someone I just killed

[I Faw Down]

i know i am not a beta tester but looking at the screen-shots, maybe you should make the guns smaller (that are on the ground) they look bigger than the ones in peoples' (i should say sticks') hands

[Shadow Crest]

one more idea- games with no sledgehammer, but with sword and bat.

[game-bot]

When you create a room, it'd be cool if you were given the choice to have radars in the area. just a thought

[Justin]

I don't think the game should have radar, but maybe just little coloured arrows that show you what direction other people are in. It wouldn't tell you exactly where they are, just make it so you don't end up wandering aimlessley forever looking for someone to kill.

[Swas]

one more idea- games with no sledgehammer, but with sword and bat.

Definetly, me and Shadow were playing yesterday and people can boost there score (especially on the office level) in a matter of seconds. Theres no-where to run.

[game-bot]

Maybe a choice to choose what weapons will be aviable?

[zelab]

Maybe 2 weapons at a time, depending on size?

Like the sword, glock, bat could all be carried with each other, to max of 2.

The shotgun, ak47, sledge, could only be carried by themselves?

Then have some sort of time-between-weapon-cycle thing. Like 30 seconds. So then a person couldnt carry a sword and glock and run around using them when they become useful, theyd be pretty invincible.

Eh, its really good the way it is now. This may just be cool.

[Shadow Crest]

nah, that would make for even more laggy gameplay (probably) and pissed-off people.

Why not have an ability to plug in our own songs to listen to while we play, so we don't have other windows open?

[Justin]

Or at least the ability to turn the music off but leave the sound effects on

[Gibbers]

Spawn invicability time would be good, if what im hearing is people just being killed instantly....

[zelab]

There already is. Read the first post, dont suggest unless youve played.

[¿CRAZYØ¿]

i havent read all 6 pages of this so dont flame me if i put something already said in

1. you should have to hit a button to spawn. I hate it when i go to do something real quick and end up dead.

2. more than 4 people. maybe teams 4 on 4 (also make the maps a tad bigger using same enviroment just bigger)

3. i want to hold more than 1 weapon 2 would be good.

4. when you are typing you cannot attack, just spin, thus making you an east target

5. stuff like capture the flag or plant the bomb(bomb in middle, both teams go for it and plant at enemy base) and maybe non-respawn games something like 10 rounds or limited deaths (eliminated after x amount of deaths)

thats my 2 cents

[bullettime bob]

i wish they had a frickin' gatling gun! YEAH!!!!!!!(rapid fire madness sounds in background)

[donthaveaname]

how about vehicles? like drive around run over people got to the base with ur buddies and
steal the flag and drive home.

[Patrickb292]

wow thats useless stuff, donthaveaname, you cant even play the game, you said so urself,

[donthaveaname]

too bad for me lol

[DrunkBum222]

I think there needs to be powerups like armor and speed boosts(more damage ect) Other than that its good but when are most of the people on?

[zelab]

On the Final Score screen at the end of games, there should be an Exit to Lobby button. You end up having to wait and enter the game, losing a round completion.

[Stikkilla]

I'd like 2 see some improvement in the waiting screen.

30 secs aargh, i'd rather be talkin to whom i just beated by 1 point

Also you seem to be able carrying two weps (if your gun is out ammo then swap to a prev found melee, correct me if wrong) but you cant swap if your gun has some ammo left

and a way to heal would be nice 2, ex when standing in selected area you automaticly regain hitpoints or something like that

[callumca]

i would like grenades but you throw them at a wall and it makes a hole in the wall wich you can run out of leading to another battlefield (first person who jumps gets hurt others dont)

there is no ammo. you never noticed that no one ever stops firing in the middle of a fire fight?

[¿CRAZYØ¿]

once again i didn't read everything. so don't flame me.

1. A timer at the top of screen (easier than holding shift)
2. setting the time at different amounts (e.g. 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes)
3. clans/friends list (there is going ot be a flood playing this game, need to keep in touch with friends)
4. When private rooms work make them appear but be password protected(its a little easier)
5. ability to whisper outside of the lobby(no point if its only in the lobby
6. being able to change your color after account is made... and changing the color of your actual stick figure instead of just the name ( hate my color)
7. An Xgen ONLY lobby (dont know how that would work (psst dont make it a password))
8. Profiles.... add quotes and things and maybe more stats like deaths.... round wins/ losses

[NoDeath]

I havent read everything so some one may have already said this but I think there should be med packs.

[unicycler]

It would be cool if you could talk to the people in the same room as you between games.

-Justin

[Lui]

Suggestions:

People who get kicked always come back, its sooo annoying, they should be not allowed back in unless given permission by a vote in-game.

And the sledge hammer is way to cheap, they should make it so that after the head of the hammer hits the ground they slow down extremely slow.

At least a chat box on the waiting screen, I mean come on!!

I agree that we should have a spawn button instead of spawning automaticaly.

A button that everybody has to press to skip the waiting screen(30seconds is way to long sometimes)

And I agree with game modes,
I'll suggest some of these:
-Team Mode
Well...basically some teams
-Team Capture the flag.
2 bases, capture the flag team work.
-Fist fight
No weapons, fight like a man.
-Team Destroy base
Teams, 2 bases, first to destroy each base...wins.

I agree with the less accurate when walking and shooting(way too cheap)

Some admin powers for skye, danny and the rest, like kill everyone, invincibility and other unfair stuff

Suicide button.

...I dont know

New weapons:
-Double glock
-A rocket launcher, which would need like 3 seconds to shoot and incredible slow speed
-Grenades(Im sick of guys with sledges hiding around the corner)
-Combat knife

[CDestroyer]

i would like a rocket launcher, lazer trip wire mines, ninja star, sluge hammer, and a disinigration cannon

[game-bot]

Don't triple post

[Himora]

i would like a rocket launcher, lazer trip wire mines, ninja star, sluge hammer, and a disinigration cannon

Unless you're talking about a mud hammer,theres already a sledge hammer.

A built in tournament system would be cool.

[bullettime bob]

cool
I would want non-conventional weapons, like:
stapler
office chair
2 by 4
shovel
glass bottle
etc...

[wazup12330]

i think there should be a chainsaw

[Donkey2008]

I think flash grenades would be nice. For like when people hide in rooms with sledges. Did i already post this? Did someone else?

[Carn Carby]

Yeah, i think there should be a better variaty of weapons, and grenades (Yes i know EVERYONE already said grenades)
Chainsaw would be fun :)

[game-bot]

*VRRRRR VRUUM!*
*Cuts of someone's head*
Lol, Yeah.

[i,luv-puddin]

i really dont like the only 4 people thing, i would really liek to see like at least 6, maybee even 8 or 10...but i like playing in a big inviorment with alot of people so waht do i know...

also maybe cut down the efect of the slug...id say make it almost kill you (like 90% damage) cuz the one hit kill is kinda cheap, plus i think a shotgun hirst more than a slug hammer :-P

also i would like to see some items that have limited uses...like ammo and maybee if u get grenades, unlimeted nades doesnt seem fair, maybee make a second atack and secondary wepons for items like that..

....ps.... dont flame me if someone else already posted thsi ebcaseu that seems to hapen alot to me on this forum

[liquid21]

teams like 2 vs 2 or get the or something grap the flag or 4 vs 4

[i,luv-puddin]

ooo i like that, maybee red stick figred and blue stick figures

[game-bot]

Don't triple post

Agian, same to you.

[gufu1992]

I know the game would lag but-
You can't play because of your FPS being low?
That sucks!

[bullettime bob]

I would like to see melee moves as well as mines, laser traps, bombs, flamethrowers, claymores, etc...you get the idea. More explosives!!!!

OOPS, my bad, someone may have posted this before me.

[Syrito]

Freakin Tasers!

[ImNoMrNiceGuy]

Only one for me:
Don't set "FPS" limitations because alot of people have slow, crappy computers (Me).

[Marty]

to not respawn infront of someone who has a shotgun?

[ryanpridgeon]

I'd like to see a fully automatic gun in the game... and GET THE FOREST LEVEL!

[barkskin]

Some sort of shild agenst melle wepons or a riot shild for guns.A chainsaw wouldnt hert eather.And what about some exsploives (granads c4 ect)

[Himora]

Now that it is released there should be a lobby for everyone who beta tested only so it's easier to find them.

[Zezima]

I think there should be Health Packs, also maybe a bow and limited arrows?

[Ember Joe]

Hari-Kari (suicide) - Kill yourself to prevent anyone else from claiming your kill.
You would use this when you have recently been in a few fights that you won, but are down to very little health. However, if you do this, it is slow, and you are now an open target to a one hit kill from any weapon, so if you try and do it in the middle of a fight, you are handing them the kill. Also, this could be limited to after you have killed atleast, like 2 people, since your last death. ex. You have a shotgun, so you slowly raise it to head, and blow your brains out. Katana = stab to gut, and wrench upward through your own body.

--- Weapon sets ---
Set - Unarmed - Rapidfire - Handgun - Heavyshot - Slowmelee - Fastmelee - Killer
Classic - Fists - AK-47 - Glock - Shotgun - BaseballBat - Katana - Sledge
Sports - Shoulderbump - Darts - Baseball Pitch - Hockey Puck* - Cricket Bat - 3 Iron - Nailbat or Driving Wood
Office - Texter - Stack O' CDs - Stapler - Copymachine** - Keyboard - Cordedmouse - 19' Monitor

*for the purpose of the slow reload, a hockey puck would be dropped to the ground, then, for the purpose of slow movement, the stick would actually tap it along hockey style, then hit it at the opponent when fired.
**you would wheel it around, and press a button to fire out a copy, it would have to suck in another paper to 'reload'

[zm12000]

Remove. The. Sword. Chases.


We have all been there. You spawn and there is someone with the Katana. He chases after you till he kills you. No chance to get a weapon.

[The_Arbiter]

Make fists more powerful, also make more fist fighting animations, maybe throw in a kick or two in there?

[Panzermanathod]

Remove. The. Sword. Chases.


We have all been there. You spawn and there is someone with the Katana. He chases after you till he kills you. No chance to get a weapon.

I've been on both sides of that.

Maybe you should have different arenas, as in one where only people with bad computers can go into, and people with good computers can go into.

[skeeve]

make a fast running option maybe??? oh and maybe brass Knuckles

[protozoan]

You need alot more "Themes!" Plus adding things like doors that actually open when u like click on them or somthing :) + make ak Fully Automatic

[donthaveaname]

Maybe destroyable terrain? like a guy is hiding on the otherside of the wall then you get frags and blow the wall and kill him

[Majora13]

Heres my two cents:

Team based games would be alot of fun. I mean, we can do team games now, kinda, but there should be an official setting, so we can turn off friendly fire and get matching colored stickmen. I would love to have a goal other then just killing people.

Secondary functions for guns. Like for the sword you could do the normal attack or a stab/lunge for a difficult-to-pull-off instant kill.

I love if you added these weapons, or ones like them; a) a sniper rifle, trickier to aim but kills guys in one or two hits. Maybe the screen could even zoom out a little to give you a better view of the area... b) grenades. This game needs them. I hate getting trapped in a room by some jerk with a sword/hammer. Also, it would add more strategy to "corner standoffs". It'd be best if this didn't count as a "gun", cuz you wouldn't really want to carry them around everywhere. Maybe have everybody start out with two.

Also, there should be some places to hide, in case you're getting chased or you want to ambush somebody. Someone else on this thread suggested a forest level where you could hide in trees. That would rock.

Chatting between games. Theres just enough time to trade a couple taunts with your opponents before games start.

I realize this isn't Halo, and you can't add infinite features and crap, but I hope some of the above are possible.

[i,luv-puddin]

ok well hears what iv ben thinking off...

well i extremly soport a team based sytem to be made, iv tried it already and had fun, but when soemone leaves its 2 on 1 and thats not fair..

also i have noticed that you but in a walk functino but as of right now u dont make noise when u run so whats the point of it. i htink that a walking function should be put into the game, it would give it more sratigy and make it ezeyer to find people.

also if you were to put walking into the game i woyuld not like to use v ad walk beacsue its to ward to walk and move like that, so i sugest that u add in soemthing in the gaem were u can custumize your keys..becasue i for one would like to make my own keys, i play with diferant setings in cs and wehn i play this it screws me up.

[h00pla]

a) a sniper rifle, trickier to aim but kills guys in one or two hits. Maybe the screen could even zoom out a little to give you a better view of the area...

I like the idea, but make it like the sniper rifle in soldat. You can view farther down the level than the edge of your screen but you lose sight of your surrounding so people can sneak up on you.
