A wild idea to give orks some flavor over the other races of the game..... First time player orks are all slugga with perhaps some ability of throwing melee weapons and rocks. After/during and engagement orks can loot the corpses/vehicles of their enemies and freindlies. In doing so they will gain that piece of equipment(but orkified) in their inventory. So, when they spawn in next time they can outfit with that equipment or vehicle. It would be more fun if it was 1 for 1 on the equipment, so you must keep looting to add more stuff to your inventory. Also, looting vehicles like transports would yield a whole bunch of weapons based on the assumption they are kept in storage in the vehicle. Orks could also loot from enemy ammo supplies to gain equipment and ammo. Thoughts?
This has been discussed to death . Also starting off with sluggas for everyone ? Are you having a laugh ? Now i mean no disrespect but people will never get the chance to get better weapons especially if you're not into melee. This solution would only make sense with feral orks not a full blown waaagh hitting the planet . Im sorry but this just doesnt seem fun or lore friendly at all
if orks can loot .. then what do the other factions do? you cant have a mechanic for easy aquisition of items unless everyone has a mechanic as well and yes, this has been discussed a lot over the years
my idea you should know that my vision of orks is that they have 50% less armor then SM and armor dont regenerate Lootin’: Orks in EC can loot dead enemies for different advantages. Lootin takes up to 3 sec but is halfed if you have executed them. Each enemy can only be looted one time and can be cancled any time. To prevent griefing you can only loot enemies if you assisted killing them. 1. repair armor (each loot reg 50% of max armor) [if armor is on curent max then 2.] 2. enhance armor (each loot enhance max armor by 50% up to 2 times) [if armor got upgraded 2 times and armor is on max then 3.] 3. upgrade main weapon (increasing a random stat of your main weapon[dmg, attack speed, AoE, range]) Also each loot will regain 10% of max ammo for your main ranged weapon. with this mechanic an ork would become stronger the more fights he survives i guess its obvious that this "buffs" will not stay after respawn
Here is my 2 cents. Orks can invest in tiers of looting in the load out system. Tier 1: Orks can loot ammo off their deceased allies. Tier 2: Orks can take equipment off of dead enemies e.g. grenades. Tier 3: Orks can use enemy resupply points. Could use some further balancing or tweaks but it's just an idea.
I would like a passive loot system. Almost more mmorpg style. Loots give tokens or place holders for trophies, paint, model coloration, and maybe even accessories for loadout. Then when not in game you could use these tokens/gubbins in a seperate army painter type window to pimp your ork. The painter would have its own point system to prevent people going overboard with add ons. And yes this would be an ork only feature. Not everything needs to be balanced between factions.
something similar is already planed as general game mechanic for all factions while you play you earn or find items and when you go back to your ship (or at end of match) you get a list of what you have found
I have to disagree about point 3. Seeing how you proposed Orks can already loot all flavors of ammo off of the dead, getting full health from enemy resupplies seems a bit overkill.
