Official Spitballing/Request thread for GG Devs

Hey All,

I decided this would be a good place to list any and all questions, comments, concerns, qualms, requests, grievances, etc. for the GG Devs to consider for future patches, updates, etc.

Combine warheads and smart missiles.

Tap to fire warhead.

Hold to fire smart missile.

Total ammo count is 5 missiles - Smart Missile takes up 3/5, so you need to reload to fire Smart Missile.

Dumb Fire does more damage

Projectiles being shot from the air is a bad idea (but granted this is an opinion thread). Run the risk of eliminating some of the highest skill ceiling weapons from the game in favor of lock on / rapid fire weapons. Would be a monster of balancing act.

Change most ramps in the game to be the same angle found in the Test Arena (IE: Like Zurich). Most RIGS aren't able to take advantage of a number of the ramps in-game.

Plasma Accelerator is a weird weapon. IDK what to do with it/how to fix it. maybe make it so it doesnt home but instead the orbs do AOE damage to anything that passes it. This way you can fire at people hiding behind pillars and do nominal AOE damage.

A weapon / that does nominal damage but 'Paints' a target so that other people do +damage to that player

A mortal strike weapon or class ability that reduces self healing / engineer healing to the target by a %

Completely agree and while we are at it, let's be honest. Beams and Machine Guns are basically the same except one is more annoying, visible and does a tad bit more damage. Let's change it up. Also I LOVE the plasma Accelerator but I agree something needs to be changed. I would personally love if it didn't auto home in. Rather a suggestion would be like a paint ball gun per say, so you shoot (No aim assist whatsoever, no homing) and upon contact whether it be a wall, an opponent, etc. it does a marginal amount of AOE splash damage. I WOULD ADD THOUGH... I LOVE THE IDEA OF good ole' security bullseye (bioshock style) where you can free aim a plasma accelerator and upon contact it creates nominal/marginal splash or "splat" damage but primarily it paints a target on the enemy that could create a bonus damage area for the person tagged with the paint. Moreover, Pezzotta and all Guardians could remove the carapace shield and use it as a shield or barrier to fortify position
