Eagle XI Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 On certain maps the harvester gets farmed way too easily, on those we could try to do the same as C&C3 harvester, modify the harvester such that it can carry an few infantry on it or that it has an anti-infantry gun mounted on top that may or not be required to get manned.

vandal33 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Yeah but how is giving the harvester a gun would stop 10 tanks in siege from farming points without making that harvy gun ridiculously overpowered? A better solution is to allow some kind of team vote to allow the Harvester to hold position in base, like parked in the refinery or something.

SvN91 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 a disable harvester/blow up harvseter vote? I guess the best solution would just be to buy tanks+ airstrikes and not sbhs and break the siege Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Arts Staff TK0104 Posted January 5, 2018 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Harverster needs to be the harverster. It doesn't need guns or shields. It's fine how it is.

Eagle XI Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) No, its not fine how it is. Its move and turn speed should be upgraded, its like what the slowest vehicle in the game ? Besides its dumb as a rock. Inside the Refinery there could be an one-purpose console that can be used for remote controlling the harvester. Tiberium harvested automatically aslong on a field. Since without any guns babysitting the harv can get boring mount an mg-turret on it and make the gun require to be controlled by the remote-controller guy(gun not active when left to its own AI). Alternate approach may be increased speed only whilst being controlled. 20 hours ago, isupreme said: maybe the team could buy the harvester some ability? Then it would not ruin the earliest rushing due to lack of funds. Nice one, that way later in game Commander can buy one upgrade for the Harvester out of many choices. Possible upgrades would be change its mg to an rocket turret, give it a larger version of chemtrooper weapon that uses the load as ammo(Nod), buy it extra carry capacity(GDI), stealth(Nod), install passenger slots on the sides that can be manned by players for transport, extra armor, etc. The cmdr has to pick one of those upgrades as only one can be active at a time. :] Ah lest i forget: There can be an item only the commander can buy. An carryall service with noticeable cooldown. An chinook arrives to pick up the harvester and transports it back to base, drops it before refinery door.

Totem Arts Staff Madkill40 Posted January 6, 2018 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted January 6, 2018 Harvester could have a vet bonus for faster regen and speed and turning, based on average team veterancy? It would be nice if when the harvester is kill in succession enough times it takes longer for a new harvester to come (without hindering the other vehicle build orders by players) E.g. Each time the harvester dies the longer it will be until the next one is made. 2nd Harvester is instant, 3rd harvester will be 15s after death, then add 15s for every other death of a harveste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because a Harvester having rank is the first time I've seen a rank icon in Renegade X after the veterancy update. It's literally the very first unit that showed me rank icons appear on the HUD when you aim it so I will always remember it.

RoundShades Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Honestly, I wouldn't mind Harvesters being unique in gaining some buffs of some kind, progressively adding +8 every time it's killed and -12 every time it makes a dump, so when it stops dying, it starts losing it's buffs. Just saying. Doesn't have to be a gun. Could be speed and/or health boosts. May seem counter-intuitive, but it wouldn't completely reverse the difference between two teams, when one is now getting a harvester "occasionally" after losing one so frequently. Also, possibly make it "wait 5 minutes into the game" to start doing this or something, to prevent any (marginal/minuscule) effects it'd have early-game.

Eagle XI Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 probably not a good idea but still: Like the Aurora Bomber speeds up after delivering load in Gen:Zh, but instead when Harvester has full load.

Actually, the Aurora bomber in Generals slows down after dropping payload and it not only happens in ZH, it happens in Generals in general. But giving harvesters increased ranks would be nice since it already has a rank icon. 1 rank up per running over enemy infantry (since it rarely happens). Each rank ups increases its speed and/or armor. It also stops enemies from purposely dying to the harvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intention was to limit the speed boost for returning to base only, as to not boost the speed harvester gets into the field to prevent frequenter farming by the opposition.

swaffelen Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I wish harvester VP whoring was reduced. Harvester should be worth 1vp by default and add 1vp every time it dumps. That way the listing team can catch up in VP just by killing the harvester after 10 dumps There is still advantage to killing the harvester constantly since you want to stop enemy credits. Is the extra cash at the start of the game already not a big enough advantage? It sucks when you join walls or field and you have no money and are recruit when the enemy has veteran or elite and 2000 credits each. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
