Gamerboy1420 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) So here is what i was thinking a couple min ago. Are you tired of your sentinel? Jst watching it hover there and shoot? Yea it supports you by giving you more shield energy when your shields are down, or cloak you to get some time to recover. But how bout a sentinel tht can walk/run along side of us with the ability to teleport like those teleportin sawmen or whatever their called. Since grineer can teleport why not get the tech and stick it in a sentinel. it would be able to melee, shoot if it gets a gun attached, heal or cloak, or bust a excalibur shining sword attck to make enemy melee you,maybe even do a one time revive for us if we ever go down. etc, basically have some of the current sentinel powers and more. itll be like our own lil sidekick :) it can jst warp to and from an enemy. If it ever gets left behind, POOF right by ur side agian. idk how this could work or even be ingame but its jst something i thought about since i think sentinels can be something more than what they are know... Jst wnna hear some feedback on this... Edited May 28, 2013 by Gamerboy1420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shion963 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'd rather have a floating slashy deathbot. It'll float to the nearest enemy's face and utilise its laser cutters in the most imaginative way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kantazo Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yesterday with my Volt I was fast running and my Sentinel was lagging behind me, I stopped and suddenly the little flying thingy came from behind me catching up and it was hilarious, like he was saying to me, "C'mon dude, slow down please, you are going to give me a heart attack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BETAOPTICS Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) This suggestion was covered by another player in the forum for about two weeks ago roughly, he had a idea of a robotic dog but as did it and so will this there is major problems with them and the problems are also the ones developers have confirmed to be the reason for every sentinels floating necessity and that is simply AI pathing problems, there is no way with the current mechanics that a sentinel can keep up with ever so agile Tenno, not only that but the map layout is very complicated. The reason we have walking enemies though is that they are not depended on Tennos movements and can work alone, however given the ability to seperate AI capable of independent action and then following up the Tenno in a natural way when too much distance is drawn upon.Teleporting is a good suggestion but the problem with it is that it would constantly do so since the range of which Sentinel and Tenno can be without causing several problems is very small with the current game mechanics and thus casing it constantly breaking off the attack/ any other animation and because of this it would merely serve anything else than a meat shield. Now would it be good to add much funding, resources and time just to get two legged sentinel just because you can and have it serve more like a novelty than actually useful side-kick. I think not. Also teleporting and walking has the problem of getting stuck inside the ground.So the biggest problem that developers can't or even won't try to solve is coding and pathing problems of the AI. It is so much more simple to just add this floating thing above the shoulder as they can float without the problem of not able to keep up and they are simple to do which is not the case in legged sentinels.

Pressing it will either tell it to Follow (which means not attck, but still support us like the current sentinels do, sheild regen, crowd disperse etc) or pressin it agian will tell it to Attck ( simple melee action, shootin, and other dmging skills). Pressing the command button will switch thru commands, attck or follow, before returnin to us or warpin back to us incase we're like 3 rooms ahead. If u set it to attck, it will fight the enemy whose attckin U and will keep fightin til it wins then return/warp, but itll die if its to weak. Follow will jst make it as it is told but still support us on the side. and if it gets stuck somewhere or lefted behind, like i said, POOF! warped back to us. All i can think of for those fast Warframe runners is the sentinel will be able to keep up. plain and simple so u wnt have to stop jst to let it keep up.

With my understanding though the following AI can only follow 10 feet away from you so it would be a half of the floor until in needs to warp to you. There are very solid and good suggestion and if it were possible, I would be all for it but I don't think it is, neither do the developers. That being said maybe they should review it again. I won't go further on the topic because I am not an expert in these things nor would it be wise to try to be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im glad you like the idea. and i know this is all up to the DEV, not all of us know how to piece together a great game like this. but im only throwing out ideas. im jst helpin the DEV make this game better, not jst myself. if ppl hate the idea. fine. if some like it. okay. but it all comes down to what the DEV think and say since there behind the keyboards implemeting new things.If they jst cant do this because of difficulties or cuz they jst dnt wnt to take the time then who am i to argue. jst sharing :) but i do hope take take a look into this. i mean who doesnt like to see there ideas in play?

Gamerboy1420 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Okay so I read the title of the thread and this was all I could imagine - and I WANT ONE!! The pet can be anything. My robot ninja, a robo canine or feline or whatever animal, or even this MOA. Im jst simply implying tht there be pet tht can walk/run along side us rather than hover over our shoulders (some ppl like it some dnt ). Whatever the pet may be is cool by me, i jst like to see pets more supportive (like having a one time revive ability during mission incase u go down) and let us Tennos have control over them whether its jst a simple attck or follow command... Nice pic btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venarge Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) A walking sentinel. It seems you havent thought about this idea long enough to see the problem with pathing. You jump over a ledge? Well, have fun being alone in the enemy horde because your sweet walking whatever is still searching for a way to reach you. And no, this "kapoof" by your side doesnt sound that cool... =( Besides that. It would be completely in the way for others or imagine 4 people having that thing. nobody would be able to move. Or imagine it being attack, but unfortunatly, you walk infront of it, getting all the damage. A walking sentinel is more of a problem than it helps you Edited May 28, 2013 by Venarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said, because of the distance u may put on a walkin pet and urself its obvious its gnna get stuck somewhere. Since Grineer can teleport, why not sentinels? itll be right next to u ina flash. tell me how tht doesnt work beside tellin me tht its not "Cool". what is cool anyways? the things u like? i think the "Kapoof" is "Cool". if u dnt like it continue usin ur hover pet then. problem solved. The whole "completely in the way for others" mmm tht could be a problem.never said my idea was perfect and why would they be able to hurt you too? make them friendly fire towards you. problem solved. thanks for ur feedback btw Edited May 28, 2013 by Gamerboy1420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venarge Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 why would they be able to hurt you too? make them friendly fire towards you. problem solved. thanks for ur feedback btw No, no. I mean, they can attract fire. If they hover above you, they´ll get the damage. But if its in your height, you will get damage from enemies that might not even aim at you. The bullets that are meant for your sentinel hit you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops misread tht. srry. they dnt neccassarily have to be the same height as you. There pets. half ur size or even smaller. As for the line of fire, all i can think of is if your in the way of the incoming dmg towards ur pet then get outta the way. We all get shot at but we all have skills we use to protect us or at least help us prolong our deaths! Keepin ur pet alive is part of it. The longer theyre there, the longer you be alive from there support. How these pets should be placed tho (on our sides or behind us ) idk.
