Reserve fuel tank

by **Warrior** » Thu Dec 05, 2013 8:07 pm

Just submitted this

A small button under the exp bar next to the fuel bar that activates only when a tanks fuel is completely black and the player is rendered insuficient. Button stays idle any other time when ready for use it turns red or green,when used it gives a tank 200-300 fuel and can only be used once every 24 hrs.

I've died countless times from getting stuck on a tiny island with nothing in my fuel bar, pretty much just sitting there waiting to be killed.Also have died like that because i couldn't pick up an obby and get fuel. In raids ive gotten stuck insufficient a bunch of times and surrounded and pretty much just watched all my armors melt when i could have kept taking it if i hadn't landed on a fake fuel. Also it can be the key to winning an armor battle if used properly. Imo this is a solid fix for getting completely stuck and not being able to do shit but watch yourself die or quit. Use it wisely!

Haven't seen a idea this good in ages. Solid add to the game imo.

Definitely a creative idea, but I'm in the thinking that it starts with fuel management in the first place and if you let yourself get too low then you practically earned a deactivation. I've been in that situation many times and there's noone to blame except yourself, so idk of adding a relatively big change to bail us out is a fair move.

You are correct about the fuel management but there are always times in certain maps where there just isn't fuel no matter how hard you look. Ice being a prime example most of the fuel regens on water in that map and there are tons of islands. Easy to make one small mistake and get stuck. This atleast gives you a last chance when you are driving down the right side looking for fuel and find an obby that could save you but can't even use. If you have taken risks while playing and/or play a bit risky this button is for you.... Not the guy who shoots once and teles in a 3v1. Reward the beasts!!

Yeah I completely get where you are coming from, I just respectfully disagree. All this is doing is prolonging your fruitless journey to find fuel and delaying the inevitable in my opinion. Just try your best not to get too low and if you don't succeed then a rank is the penalty. Like I said it is a very cool and creative idea, I just don't think its practical.

Cdub, I'm not sure what you're getting at. Warrior mentioned its about rewarding the beasts who get low and take raids.

I love the idea but there are too many complications. For example, trapping someone in a 1v1 and killing them. This would screw up a lot of different mechanics in the game and for this reason I'm against this idea. Now you can always say that this should be activated with x number of people shooting you etc but Idk if thats plausibe from a coding standpoint and I don't think its worth it in the long run.

I think its better to leave insufficient in game. Some of my hatred towards this game come from getting trapped on islands with 0 fuel and watching my armors disappear. But this helped me get better and want to get better at the game.

i like this idea. there can be many ways that it can work. a button to instantly give you the fuel, or having it slowly give you the fuel over 10-30 seconds so that it can only be used if you self trap yourself and not that useful in raids. it doesnt have to be a once every 24 hours use, it could be permanent and refills everytime you get additional fuel when you are at max fuel

If this idea were to be implemented, it would save me from getting de-activated alot. Most recently, yesterday.........HONOR got me cause I mapped 'twice' to areas with no fuel (lol) and his persistence paid off. I don't think it's a big deal though cause it was my fault. IMO, Warrior - you ARE, a BEAST! But maybe you need to re-check your fuel bar more often when in BEAST mode. And what's the big deal.........It's just a de-activation which you'll get back with no problem (the only pain in the ass part is refilling equip 10-15 mins?). Chalk it up as lesson learned and march on soldier....er......Warrior!

There are many ways to go about this idea and i submitted it on my phone before i forgot it. Pending the Wolfs interest i can mix in a few more options i had thought about.

Weenie-it's not about being afraid to die i could care less about a death and filling for 5 mins after deactivation ,but it is frustrating sitting there watching yourself die after landing on a fake fuel (which is beyond your control). Why not have just one chance to take an extra minute longer even if you end up dying.

Seems like people think this is going to keep you alive lol,it probably won't and that's not the idea anyway,the idea is an exciting element as a last ditch effort for survival.

Lmfao tp should go green... the fuel should be bio diesel or hydrogen... and tanks should regenerate power slowly with solar panels on the back.

Iso corn stalks in place of fuel cans
