DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 5377	Posted - 2014.07.18 03:15:00 - [1] - Quote So I was originally one of the guys that thought that having magic in a shooter was lame because I didn't want this turning into Harry Potter with AR's- though, after seeing the warlocks from Destiny I've eaten my own words. I don't think it should be included so much in the game that literally everything has to do with magic, but like Destiny I think Dust should have a form of magic that's akin to science that's not well understood. Kind of like, "We can use it but we don't know how it works" type of mentality. In Destiny they have a great being who's power is used, but in Dust this obviously won't work. So my questions for the community: 1.) Should Dust have magic? 2.) If Dust gets magic how would it fit in lore wise? Learn to separate the morals from the Muhla.
Baal Omniscient Onslaught Inc RISE of LEGION 1964	Posted - 2014.07.18 03:17:00 - [2] - Quote We already have technology, why would we need magic? What could you possibly add to the game that couldn't just be explained as high-level tech with a lot of scientific mumbo-jumbo? Cross Atu for CPM1 Winmatar Assault, Proficiency 5 SMG's & Proficiency 5 Swarms Since Uprising 1.0
Malkai Inos Any Given Day 1544	Posted - 2014.07.18 03:24:00 - [3] - Quote 1.) No. 2.) Besides nanite technobabble it wouldn't. We already have healing buffs (reppers), resource buffs (hives), revives (needles), clairvoyance (scanners) and dragons (DS hue hue). If not for the cessation of content updates we'd be looking forward to freeze/chill (webs), dmg buffs (target painters), blind (tracking/sensor disruptors) mana steal/burn (nos/neuts) and probably more stuff. Magic has no place in Dust for lore reasons and it has nothing to add to the game that couldn't be done with already existing "New Eden combatibility approved" ideas that are just waiting to be implemented. You can take a benign object, -you can take a cheeseburger and deconstruct it to its source...

Seriously though, why? As far as destiny goes it sounds like they might be copying Star Wars "The Force" or Warhammer 40ks Psykers. Its been done before but why would EVE want to introduce magic? And why would EVE want to introduce magic solely for a fps shoot off that's getting canned?
MINA Longstrike 1031	Posted - 2014.07.18 04:30:00 - [5] - Quote There is literally nothing in the setting that could be considered 'magic'. It is sci-fi. Deal with it. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 5377	Posted - 2014.07.18 05:01:00 - [7] - Quote Thanks for the replies guys. Learn to separate the morals from the Muhla.
Zindorak CaUsE-4-CoNcErN 145	Posted - 2014.07.18 05:11:00 - [8] - Quote No and No. Harry Potter sucks i hate it and its boring
Zelda Harkinian Isuuaya Tactical Caldari State 112	Posted - 2014.07.18 05:19:00 - [9] - Quote Metal Gear Solid has magic AND technology, and it works. and Harry Potter is awesome! but yeah, I'm not sure about the actual game Dust, but I think Lore wise, a lovecraftian alien/ ancient artifact would fit right in.
Lynn Beck Fooly Cooly. Anime Empire. 2062	Posted - 2014.07.18 06:54:00 - [10] - Quote As cool as a feel being a Mage Commando(1 sidearm, modules equipped correspond to various, less concentrated attacks) example: Fit for HP: No abilities, only Sidearm. Fit for abilities: I could have an AOE DoT attack(maybe throw a bed of harmful nanites?) A concentrated single shot, low DPS 'bolt' (maybe a pistol, that shoots 'vials' of Plasma(thus containing Hybrid-Plasma) A spam Medium DPS bolt(at proto would do less DPS than STD ar) that has a 'punch through' effect, slicing through multiple enemies with one blast. A 'shotgun' ability with bounce off capabilities A healing 'bolt' that does 60HP or so.(would be difficult to spam, designed moreso to just temporarily bump up a supporting Logi's rep rate, or to top off that Minja who just got owned) A type of 5-10 second AP mine, deals 200 damage in a 5m Radius, and is immune to scans(like how remotes are scanned) Maybe a 'cluster' grenade, that shoots one Locus, but that locus separates on first impact into 7 smaller bomblets, dealing 150 a piece(800-ish total, but it's a scattershot too) imagine throwing one at a cieling high up, so you can throw a smattering of little explosions, or throwing it and hitting a guy's face, killing his team mates All in all though, 'magic' as in a mysteriously teleporting Loki frame or a walking scannerina like Banshee, i don't think that's VER happening. Maybe if we used it as a 'logistics' spinoff role, designed to be a offensive versatility model, favoring the ability to do multiple roles based entirely off of Slot/equip layout.

Velociraptor antirrhopus Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 322	Posted - 2014.07.18 08:37:00 - [11] - Quote this game is too much like Mass Effect as it is DUST 514 Forums. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villa- er, I mean panty weights and neckbeards.
TechMechMeds Techs Laboratory 3918	Posted - 2014.07.18 09:14:00 - [12] - Quote There's magic everywhere in new Eden, its just that the people are smart enough to call it technology and have been for about 21,000 years. Tends to happen once something is understood. Be vigilant!, for there are those that remove the teabag BEFORE adding milk!. This is unacceptable!.
Michael Epic The Neutral Zone Psychotic Alliance 291	Posted - 2014.07.18 18:10:00 - [13] - Quote Mass Effect.

Man of Spade Nos Nothi 399	Posted - 2014.07.18 19:54:00 - [15] - Quote 1) I don't really think so. 2) Nanomachines son. Totally not Spademan. That guy is a real jackass. Official Time Lord of the Scout Community
Bojo The Mighty Spaceman Drug Cartel-Uno 4205	Posted - 2014.07.18 21:00:00 - [16] - Quote I think that people aren't on board with your suggestion because you used "magic" Rephrase to "Scientific Anomaly" However I don't think that it's necessary to have something beyond scientific knowledge in the game. If I recall correctly some one once suggested Active modules for infantry, similar to superpowers. It got a lot of hits, I think I'll bump it for you. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=379818#post379818 Can't bump it, it's locked Smell the burning flesh. Taste the tangy sulfur air.

Defy Gravity 448	Posted - 2014.07.18 22:22:00 - [17] - Quote I would love magic! After playing Destiny powers change the way combat works alot! for example. Scouts would get a power that allows them to boost there running speed by 5m for 10s with a cooldown of 40s Assaults would get a power that allows there weapon to shoot faster by 100rof for 10s with a cooldown of 90s Heavys would get a power that reduces damage taken by 20% for 10s with a cooldown of 100s Just throwing my idea out there! If I kill you in game, look for a confirmation that says "I Just Killed You"

Magic no special abilities that are activated through our suits because they are a function of the suit yes. for example a jetpack for assaults, cloak for scouts, shields for heavies and so on. supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Coleman Gray Opus Arcana Covert Intervention 1041	Posted - 2014.08.11 14:54:00 - [20] - Quote What necromancy not good enough for you? If Preparation is half of the battle and knowing is the other half, Then there is no need to fight.

Mobius Kaethis Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1722	Posted - 2014.08.11 15:13:00 - [21] - Quote OP if you like Destiny's system so much why don't you play that game instead of proposing the Devs make Dust some lame clone? Fun > Realism
Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2748	Posted - 2014.08.11 16:51:00 - [22] - Quote Magic? Magic is really just http://x2.fjcdn.com/comments/5047432+_9e8e398cec325a3653e09246c653e28a.jpg

No no ******* magic in a futuristic game WTF do you think this is?! LOL? WOW? Well?! gtfo of here with this stupid waste of time post. [LogiBro in Training] channel: BP SQUAD come join the fun
TechMechMeds Tech Dungeon Of Servility 5037	Posted - 2014.08.11 17:32:00 - [25] - Quote I officially disapprove of this thread. Be vigilant!, for there are those that remove the teabag BEFORE adding milk!. This is unacceptable!.
