Ziiro Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The current 'meta', if you'd call it that, in WAR is that every person on the station is armed with combat shotguns. With the current population of the server, WAR is suicide 90% of the time. Which is a shame, because it's a lot of fun for everyone! I think that the Martial Arts scroll being allowed onto their uplink would be an interesting chance to deal with this. However, I am fairly new to the game, so I don't know if it's been a balance issue in the past. Please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullyBBurnalot Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Far as I am aware, having Sleeping Carp active means you cannot use guns. Which would make most of their Uplink be completely useless. That said... Sleeping Carp + Advanced Hardsuit + Double E-Sword would be... something terrifying.

Coldflame Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 sleeping carp and several other uplink items were never meant to meet, hence it being traitor-only and expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sothangel Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Perhaps the issue is cargo being able to order combat shotguns. One shot with a combat shotgun w/ default buckshot on an Elite Hardsuit in combat mode, 36 damage plus bleeding and broken bone. 45 on a Red Hardsuit in combat mode, bleeding and broken bone. These things get 6 shots by default. Given that I can fire wildly, hit with only half of my shots and pellets, and /still/ do over a hundred damage is ridiculous beyond belief. Nukies don't need sleeping carp, Combat Shotguns need to be either made less available, made more expensive or removed. Combat Shotguns cost 20 points at cargo currently.

Holyass Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 what about just a buff to the armor that read if it's hit about a shotgun pellets and have it do 80% less damage? slugs do the same damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operatives shouldn't be immune, or near immune, to each other. As for the idea OP posted, I don't see a particular issue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyass Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 no no i was just tossing out numbers and i mean for the slugs that slugs do the same damage without the debuff? It can be 50% or 10% or any % i'm just tossing numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machofish Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think if we take a step back and consider the overall problem here, we might be able to come up with a better solution. The problem isn't necessarily that WAR! Nukies need Sleeping Carp, but that WAR! Nukies simply cannot contend with having 20+ combat shotguns pointed at them after they hit the station. Personally, I think this is particularly difficult for nukies due to the prevalence of internal injuries - I've said this dozens of time in the discord and the server's deadchat - when a nukie gets a broken bone, a damaged organ, or internal bleeding, they become a dead man walking. The chances are slim-to-none that they'll have the time to perform surgery. Even if the WAR! Nukies win their first two or three firefights, they inevitably get worn down by attrition from internal injuries. What I would personally suggest is some sort of Nukie-specific consumable item intended for quickly healing off internal damage or broken bones without surgery - the medgun has a chance of fixing broken bones over long amounts of time, but it doesn't fix organs; the syndicate medical borg's nanomachines can heal brain damage, but again they don't do anything for other organs. I realize something like this would require additional coding, but I personally would think it to be a good way to address a problem that the Nukies face right now.

Holyass Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Yea, i like that, but what about the heart and lungs? if they get a hole in their lung then it still only a matter of time they die, same with their heart, that make lose a lot of blood fast.

I mean there's like a chance to deflect, but they're not immune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
