how about a way to replenish used up items

 

so it could be done using time.  stay alive for 5 mins and get 1 random item back

 

deliver x amount of eu get 1 random item back

 

etc.  just an idea

 

sometimes im in the zone and can last a long while before dying and it would be nice to get an item back rather than just eating a bullet to replenish them

Items used to be on a cooldown instead of limited uses. Each size was how strong it was, not how many uses it had.

 

I never really liked the limited use items, because it feels like it punishes you for staying alive long enough to use them all up. You may as well just throw all your items out first chance you get, die, and get them all back.

 

So yes, some way to replenish items, or giving them a cooldown again would be great.

Tho the replenishing should have a little long interval time before replenishing....

I don't think we should be dependent of items and all but a Lil replenish sometimes could be nice...

[DonCornelius]

the way it is now gives an advantage to the less skilled pilots, those who die often. i think its a good thing that players who can survive longest have the disadvantage of having no items to use. if you have the skills to go on a long killstreak then you have the skills to continue to fight with depleted inventory. 

 

dying to get a reload on items, does anyone really do that? i wouldnt.

I'd like to test an EU drop on kills that can resplenish items.

I never die on purpose just to get my items back. But when I die after using up all my items, it is always a relief to know that I will have all of them back again.

 

And sure, if you are good enough you can still fight just fine without your items. But what about that one situation where having just one more detonator would have saved you, but you were out? Or what about going up against someone with even skill, but they have a fresh mech, while you have no items? You are at a disadvantage because you managed to live for too long.

 

It shouldn't be a good thing to die, and a bad thing to live for a long time. Limited items adds a reward to dying, and punishes you for living too long, which kind of goes against the whole point of the game, doesn't it?

I would like to see a very slow item regeneration mechanic (maybe +1 random item charge per 60 to 120 sec), cannot exceed max capacity) on top of the current system, and implemented as an item slot, like the item cooldown decrease.

 

This way, the existing system allows players to keep the mechanic of quick-charging items as long as the player has charges, but those players who stay alive for very long are effectively punished so brutally.

Ima be passive for this one XD I have mixed feelings

I kind of like this.

 

Few possibilities I came up with:

• Keep the current mechanic but change it to "max items" instead of "items at start". Slow regeneration of items.
• Change the mechanic so that you have one item, but item size determines item regeneration speed.

Anyway, the short item cooldowns should stay. I don't ever want to get alpha striked with tow, detonator, grenade and emp at the same time.

maybe for mk-II and mk-III versions one new item to regenerate 1 use although forcing you to not use items for a decent and balanced period of time.

 

Anyway, I find faster and easier to get K.I.A as the way of having your items fully equipped back in your mech.
