I think that what Pontus and many of the devs are missing is that implementing vehicles doesn’t have to mean that players can just boot the game up, get in any random vehicle, drive to FOA and complete the game.
Vehicles should be unlockable. Like there should perhaps be no trace of vehicles being in the game until you reach the main island, and then you have a side quest to unlock something really crap, like an EPA tractor. The side quests will in and of themselves require players to walk all over the map and explore on foot. The final, OP vehicle will pretty much be a reward for exploring everything.
Please have a look at my original post.
Please add drivable vehicles. Cars, trucks … some armored/ turret guns for passengers. This would add so much to the game. Obviously people would love to be able to upgrade vehicles. Farcry vehicles meets mad max vehicles.
If we were able to drive the cars, I feel like that would open up a lot of possibilities for the game. For instance, keys could be added as collectables, or lootable content. Explosive gas tanks, could double as gas used for the cars.
An option to armor the car, could also be added, but there are drawbacks, f.e. the more armor you put on, the slower te cars goes, or the more gas you use.
An option to upgrade the cars, or repair them could also be added if nessisary.
Sounds like you would love the mad max game. It’s really great.
It could work in GZ if it the cars was really easy for the enemy to destroy. One rocket and its gone. With you in it.
In my opinion, you, as a player, should never feel safe in this game. Not when the machines got you in their sight.
You definitely have a point there. I suppose not manny cars could withstand an entire missile salvo. But, it could add at least a little protection while your on the road.
These are absolutely fantastic ideas. I love them all. I’m not a programmer, of course, but if I was, I would totally be all over this. It would open up the game like never before, and create a lot of XP earning potential.
They should totally add ATV’s, or 4-wheelers.
ATV’s would probably be better, because they usually have some kind of roof. We could have the option of mounting guns and armor to them as well.
