CrazyCatLad Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Besides the pedo-prod on the Ancients, and fart-flinger on the Golem are there ever going to be any ranged Infested? Or would that totally throw off every subsequent Infested Defense mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicSnake Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Maybe if DE adds a ranged Infested, make it slightly rarer than Ancients, that way you aren't getting swarmed by them. In addition, as per their design, have them fire sharp, organic shards of hardened tissue from some sort of weapon grown onto them. Aw yes.

hydrater Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 That gives a totally new meaning to Frost's Globe on infested map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rengakun Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 That gives a totally new meaning to Frost's Globe on infested map. Unless those ranged units are ultra rare and somehow make Toxic Ancients more common... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madotsuki Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I want a flying bat-like unit that flings AP thorns at the player. An Advanced-Class unit, similar spawnrate to Shield Lancers. Higher levels can have a venomous variety that has poisonous thorns or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MangoMonkey Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I definitely think they need something, to help even out Ember and Vauban against the "everyone charge them without thought" AI.My personal suggestion would be a "partly-Infested" Heavy Gunner or something. A unit in which the Infestation hasn't fully mutilated their physical form as of yet, so they're still able to wield weaponry, but are part of the "hive mind" of the Infested units.

BadAimbot Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Infested need more units, and they definitely need at least one real ranged one. The Ancients aren't particularly fun as ranged units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeePee Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 A floating, ranged, poison-shooting small bugger that comes in huge swarms, move fast and are ridiculously hard to hit? Yes please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rakleon Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have an Idea about this : Toxic Creeper Its a small unit , like a size of an Osprey but with legs . It can crawl on the wall and celling , and spit poisonous venom against you . It has very low health but are highly agile and hard to spot , it can be crowded with 10-15 Creeper per map on defense mode ! Does that sound goods to y'all ??

Hayden11121 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 , have them fire sharp, organic shards of hardened tissue from some sort of weapon grown onto them. Like Hydralisks from StarCraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niryco Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Besides the pedo-prod on the Ancients, and fart-flinger on the Golem are there ever going to be any ranged Infested? Or would that totally throw off every subsequent Infested Defense mission? I suggested ranged infested types on another thread talking about too little love for infested. Infested spike, throws spikes that have a chance to poison players or use it as a melee weapon. Upon death spikes may launch in all directions(can kill other infested as well). When low on health infested spike would attempt to throw multiple spikes. Infested screamer, when it screams other infested will be attracted. When low on health it would attempt to launch a sonic arrow before it would commit suicide. When it launches a sonic arrow, all targets in its path will be knocked-down and damage will be dealt as piercing.

ElectiDei Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ancient Rollers. Grineer rollers that have been infested. They leave a toxic trail and have an AOE disruption that also heals allies. Then for attacking, the spikes of the Ancient roller shoot out in all directions and poison anyone hit. Unaffected by bastille, mind control, or chaos.

Solstic Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ranged infested that shoot poison balls like the Torid. It shoots 3+ per volley. Poison for everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroraSonicBoom Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 They first need to overhaul the design of the non-ancients to fit the new design, but I guess a new enemy to throw of the established strategies is always welcome. Maybe some Kamikaze flocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
