The title of the post is one of the things many people haven't thought about yet which makes me frustrated, it's kind of annoying that people only want to add more then fix the problems [mechanics] of the game.

People go on about adding snipers and machine guns which isn't a bad idea but then they seem like a bad idea. Confusing I know but here's my view on guns, I wouldn't mind a scoped rifle cause they didn't have snipers in the late 1800s. MG's, yes good idea but it would have to be in the 1800s well really anything is good as long as it keeps in its era.

Vehicles, same thing as long as it was in the era.

Artillery, same thing but what would be a practical artillery weapon to add. People say lets add mortar strikes when they weren't even invented, it's annoying.

The big question is the mechanics, the maker, Ben Aksoy, said classes or a ranking/reputation system will be put in place which is a good step but still there are many bugs to be fixed and hackers to be stopped so give me your thoughts on what to do.

Look out for Cptn.Linch on the battlefield, see you there XD

hey captain you know what will happen with artillery fricking greifers will blow up the map other wise good idea

Vehicles, No. Maps are not big enough for them. Also, people will fight over who gets to drive ans shoot etc. + a lot of lag.

yea i agree with jack

Good points, remember these aren't my ideas.

Vehicles wouldn't work well because of the mostly uneven terrain.
Artillery would be griefer Christmas.
The standard rifle is fine.
Yes, fix the basic game.

Also, lagg. You can't blame vehicles for lagg it's ping [connection speed]. If you use a wireless router, even though a wired router is quicker, the wireless is better at receiving more then one connection. So if vehicles were added, it shouldn't add more lagg and also, I don't even know what vehicles we could add anyway.

I think that the game is great in itself, and that the only thing that ruins it right now is hackers and griefers. Once we fix this or know how to control it, additions to the game will be much easier to make. Regarding the artillery, vehicles and weapon suggestions I'm fairly indecisive about them.

Sure more weapons will be great but we have to be careful what we ask for too. I think it's safe to ask for a greater variety of weapons but they need to be balanced.
BTW I don't think that the rifles in the game look anything like what they had in the 1800s bro.

1800s is 1799 to 1700 not 1800 to 1899.
If you look at the ironsight is what I'm saying.

Artillery, would wreck peoples creations then they would cry :/

Guns, I agree with having classes. But 3-4 max.

Mechanics of the game need improving first. Ben is already recoding the server side. Witch is good. We should see performance increase and less downtime among servers in the next beta.

Artillery, well actually griefing is miss interpreted in this game then Minecraft. If a team mate blows up a bridge or destroys a base, that's is griefing but is blowing up an enemy castle griefing. I don't think so. It's the aim of the game just about. But don't talk about this in the post, keep to the subject.

You have to think beyond the Artillery it's self.

How would some one get one?

Points would equal more hackers.

The iron sight will change but the gun is based on a late 1900s model [thanks akimbo for noticing that] and this game is based around the American evolution. Artillery, well I'm not sure.

well tanks would be great dont get pissy at me just here me out haha think about it a tank 6 blocks wide slow as fucking hell and you have to build a big bridge for it to cross over atleast 7 blocks wide and takes 3-4 clips of the rifle to destroy ....BUUUT they only come unlocked when like half the map is blown up ;)

Artillery requires more then one person to operate in real life, as well as authorization. Why not incorporate that into the game to prevent griefing? (Assuming this were to be added).

I was thinking the team could start with a base with a few cannons or types of artillery which you can push, blocks you can just jump and the cannon will just be something that stays around with you till you place it down and going to the CP will replenish its cannons.

I'm sorry, but everything you say is just stupid.

If half the map is blown up it ain't gonna help the tank.

@Cpt.Linch No problem :D and I didn't know it was based on the American revolution, time to research and then sleep ZZzzzz....

Tanks would be cool but people think that blocky way the game is stops tank from working just because it's in the way, it doesn't have to but maybe you need to use grenades to blow it up, not the rifle. I'm having a break I'll be back.

akimbo thats the point you gotta be fair hehehe

Imagine the tank:

"Wow guys, look at this cool road I built for our tank!"
-places 5 random blocks-

"Wow guys, look at how the tank can't move properly!"

December, did you say everything I say is stupid? Lexsym, the point is the tank could ride up those bumps like it was flat but then it would look silly.

um real life here my brother is a tank driver and ive seen him drive it and im pretty sure a tank could drive up those little blocks

What would you guys think about the reputation thing, I thought it was a great idea by Ben [creater of 'Ace Of Spades'] but then what about adding like a variety of classes or guns, that would be good.

Cool! any way do u know how i change the patern i have as my image ^^^^^

Fix the hacking first.
We don't need new guns right now at this stage of the game.
Also I know this game is made of "cubes" but it would look better if it was less pixilated

Reputation system would be extremely awesome captain.

i think ben should be different i mean look at all these games out they all got the classes and stuff raniks...etc why not just fix the bugs and leave it the way it is its still a good game

Thanks ?.raul182 and I'm happy to tell you it will be added later in the game and it will enable you to join better server like a 1 star server lets anyone 1 star or above join but if it's 5 star, you need to be 5 star in reputation. This would help noobs and your reputation can change if you get reported or you hack. Can't wait.

K.O, You're saying a lot of crap tonight aren't you. First of all, if there's no goal, what's the point of playing. I also made a poll on the unofficial forum saying if you didn't want class or a ranking system, should we have jobs instead.

that is the best idea i have seen on this forum....
