PR2 Suggestions Thread

[Kwing]

Because really, it'd be nice to have a sticky for this. Post your PR2 suggestions here!

FORMAT:

Type of Suggestion: What type of suggestion it is. See below.
Suggestion Details: What the suggestion will do to affect gameplay.
Suggestion Visuals: What the suggestion will look like. Descriptions and pictures are both welcome.
Logos: How this will enrich the gaming experience of PR2.

Because this thread is for all kinds of suggestions, I've decided that for every suggestion type in your post, you should include the appropriate string of characters so that readers can Ctrl+F through the pages to find the other peoples' suggestions easier:

• 00Hat - A new hat idea
• 00Item - A new item idea
• 00Block - A new block idea
• 00Part - Ideas for new heads, bodies, feet, or entire sets of the three
• 00Editor - An idea for changes/additions that can be made to the Level Editor.
• 00Levels - An idea that will change how users find levels, such as being able to sort by difficulty, being able to favorite levels, being able to sort by number of favorites, etc.
• 00Community - An idea that will influence the chat, PM, Friends, or Ignored systems
• 00Administration - An idea that will influence the system of chat and level moderation
• 00Accounts - An idea that will change the way accounts are created or managed
• 00Servers - Ideas that will change the way the PR2 servers are run.
• 00Folding - Ideas that will change the way Folding at Home incentives are rewarded or determined
• 00CodeEdit - An idea for code that should be rewritten to change how PR2 works, such as the experience formula
• 00CodeAdd - An idea for code that should be added to change how PR2 works, but will not interfere with the current functions of PR2, such as adding a new stat.
• 00Other - An idea that does not fit into the above categories. Upon reading posts under these categories, I will edit this post to add whatever category I believe this fits under.

EXAMPLE:

Type of Suggestion: 00Hat
Suggestion Details: A PR1 Hat that will allow a player to stun another player by stepping on their head or by bumping a block another player is standing on.
Suggestion Visuals: Similar to a Kongregate Hat, but with a 1 instead of a K.
Logos: This will add a nostalgic element from PR2 into PR1, as well as being the first PR2 hat that can be used as an offensive catalyst.

It would be good to be able to have a in game lobby chat so you can keep chatting to the people in lobby chat as well as game chat casue people like to play and talk

You game the idea with that code edit:

Type of suggestion: 00CodeEdit
Suggestion details: change on the experience formula (that's why I said "you gave me the idea"). The experience formula grows too rapidly (because it's an exponential). So, I tried a few functions with some program that plots functions... and I figured out that multiplying the current formula by (1 + exp (-x/a) - exp (-x/b)) (with a, b positive constants, a<b; and x: rank) makes this better (exp(z) = e^z). The best constants I found were a=30, b=100; because that focuses on reducing the exp needed at the ranks between 15 and 40 (where it gets really steep), without making it too low (other ranks are affected, but not by much).

Temp mod bans, to actully work, and to be something like, warning 1 2 3, bans 1 minute 5 minutes 15 minutes and half an hour

[JPMK.]

I could be "that guy" and post Jiggmin's quest email address.

A hat that boosts your stats when you hit a bomb (still exploding, but not harming you (like crown))

Half an hour is a little overkill, but I can agree on 15minutes! :-)

I think the idea of friend request would be good instead of being able to straightaway friend someone but they dont no you have

[Sushie]

Type of Suggestion: 00Other
Suggestion Details: If there's a level you play, and want to remember it, you can add it to your favorites.
Suggestion Visuals: A tab that comes after 'Search'.
Logos: It would be easy to keep track of your favorite levels instead of having to type the name down in wordpad.

Thats a good idea but you can sorta just add them as friend then click view levels ..

[UnclePeanuts]

A pr2 signature that shows your user name, rank and Hats and upgrades its info if you level up or get another hat a bit like the F@H signature one

[~41wagbo~]

Hmmm... Who will look at these?!?

Really good thread! :-) Sticky please! :-D

[Pink Panther]

You can see replays of the best times of all levels. (Not just the campaign levels)

[Conquerer95]

Guys, although these suggestions may not be looked at or possibly even considered, it's fun to share idea to improve the game's quality anyway.

hmmm here's one:

00CodeAdd
How about an easier method for collecting hats? The whole random item reward can really be a drag for new players so why not make each hat appear under their set circumstances all the time? Would make it easier, but perhaps a little too easy.

I already posted this one on another thread, but here it goes:

Type of suggestion: 00Editor
Suggestion details: on the test function of the editor, there should be (just like there is a stat-picker) a hat-picker, where the tester could choose what hat to wear at the beginning of the level. That way, someone who makes a level can test it (before publishing it) with different hats, even the ones he/she doesn't have.
Suggestion visuals: it could be implemented as a pop-up appearing when you click on "Test" with all nine options (the eight hats and "none"), or it could also be a dropdown list (the ones with an arrow that you click and get the list) next to the Test button.

[Vliro]

Type of suggestion: 00hat
Suggestion details: This hat should reduce all items negative AND positive effects slightly. Such as reduce lightning by 0.5 seconds, for example, or reduce damage from mines. But it should also reduce the period of time gained from good items, such as reduce speed boost by 1 sec, jetpack by a few blocks.
Suggestion visual: A hat with a - and a + on sides of it.
Logos: Would function as a type of multifunctional hat, splitting effects on one.
