Has this been suggested before? Apothecaries could take the geneseeds from other dead players for a bonus XP/requisition or for another bonus or benefit to their faction.

Any further ideas?

Yes it was suggested somewhere. But honestly I don't see what bonus could the faction get from that gameplay wise. For apothecaries this wouldn't be good either as it would distract them from their primary and very important duty - healing comrades.

Well we could just make the geneseed collection as benefitial as healing. Or maybe just 1 out of X bodies has an intact gene-seed. This body will not despawn until it's collected. This way you have very few gene-seeds to be collected, but still have them to collect.

Or maybe they're just collectable once the battle is over.

It may sound exciting but in reality it's useless imo. Sorry for the skepticism but for now the devs will have to focus on the core gameplay mechanics, this is crucial and it will take a lot of energy to get it right, balance and shit. Some time post launch, why not, there'll will be time for bells and whistles too, just not now.

I'm ok with that.

Also, any news on the founders' goals? you know, those things they couldn't make it to the release but might get thanks to the founder program?

Hmm... Why not make it a global/continent event. Where the Apoth's gather the geenseed from fallen allies (Team Kill victims doesnt count) which they can deposit at a Stronghold. And when x amount has been collected all Space Marines global or in that continent gets a respawn speed boost (Reinforcements) for x amount of time. And after that it resets.

Could make something for the other factions aswell. Orkz- Kill x amount of enemies and get a respawn speed boost (Green Tide). Ofc the amount between geen seeds and enemies killed will be different. As kills are far more collectable then tagging allied corpses. If things goes well that is. ^^


But then again, this is just something I came up with while reading this thread. So it's only my 2 cents.

Nothing that I know, I will be glad when all the basic core concepts are fleshed out, that's more than enough for me for the start.

Orks don't have gene seeds, and Eldars - no idea


Edit:.Sorry you mentioned that, too much twich skill I guess.

for an MMO busy work is always a must, such as daily quests in WOW and it can give the PVE players something to do at the very least, and im sure every race has some form of item they could collect after a battle, for example orks could go out and loot weapons and vehicles. Chaos could collect skulls for shrines, i don't know anything about eldar but you get the point.
I naturally would like the game to be further along in development before this is even considered.

These are actually very nice ideas. I wouldn't mind collecting stuff after a brutal battle just to take a breath and gather some additional XP from it or completing a challenge quest by doing it, or as you said supporting a world event with it.
