Planned Tests and Sign-up Sheet

[Talvieno]

This is simple enough. I'm listing out tests that need to be done. If you're interested in one, leave a comment! I'll update the first post as necessary with additional tests. I feel like there's at least one test we need to do that I've forgotten about.

Test: Swarm Mechanics
Description: Swarm mechanics are a go. We have the technology - now we just need willing guinea pigs. There will be a LOT of enemies - dozens at a time.
How many characters? Ideally four, possibly five, hopefully not three.
What will it be like? Chaos. You and a few other hapless inmates versus a massive swarm. I will be aiming to kill. Fast.
Can I bring my own character? Sure. No reason not to.
Anything else I should know? Swarm mechanics mean all weapons are AoE. High-damage weapons are best. AoE weapons are better. Be realistic with your character building, though, or simply use one of the characters I end up providing. I don't want a whole lot of "everything I brought with me is AoE" - I need to test a variety of weapons and tactics.
Sign up list: Dinosawer, Fawkes

[Dinosawer]

I sign up for everything, but if you can bring your own character you really should mention how much xp, creds etc that character gets

[Talvieno]

Very true. I'll pull that together soon, after work. Expect an update! In the meantime I added you to the list.

[Dinosawer]

Good! I'm mildly offended I wasn't already on it to begin with
(Not really, but funnies)

[Talvieno]

I mean, I thought about it, but it felt presumptuous. So I didn't. I will next time though!

I'm thinking... characters for that one will probably be about five missions in. Not at my laptop (I'm at work) and the docs aren't loading properly on my phone today, but it shouldn't be hard to work out.

I mean you literally can't host foundry without me so

**sounds of excitedly running in a hamster-whell**
wheet wheet whet wheet wheet!
**clatter clatter**
Wheet! Wheet, squeak!
**clatter, clonk**
Whet, wheet, wee, wheet.

((-----------------Translation-----------------))

**excitedly running around**

I'll sign up for guinea-piggage if you'll have me!

**falling out of the hamster-wheel**

Sounds interesting and very REKT

**stumbles into something fragile**

If you're looking to test out specific loadouts I shall go with one of your ideas, trusting that you'll find something fun that also leads to the character being swarmed and gnawed to death.

True! I think there's a way I could do it with the same company I'm hosting this forum/website through, but I think I'd need more moneys. I'd need a VPS/cloud server dealio. Not worth it honestly because I kinda need you for testing feedback and telling me how PSI works anyways

For you... I kinda wanna give you some conventional normal/heavy weapons. I think that would be fun. It'll give you something a bit new to try, since you've mostly focused on melee in TTI. Not sure if I want to give you the obvious rocket launcher or if I want to see how it feels to hand you a plasma streamer, which would also be disastrously hilarious. Against swarms, the plasma streamer kind of turns into a wide-angle flamethrower. That sounds OP at a glance. Might as well see if it breaks too severely.
