Move to K11

[Greenstarfanatic]

((Okay, before I send a turn, I forget, is it possible to switch to Melee and attack in one turn or is that no good? Because if not, I'm absolutely fucked.

ALSO, Soldiers are incredibly OP at the moment.))

[Nerjin]

It is not. You cannot switch weapons and fire in one turn. Though you CAN use your Splendid Screen as it's an item.

[Greenstarfanatic]

((So I can switch and still use the screen?))

[Nerjin]

You can though you still lose one movement [the second movement granted by the screen is still allowed so you'd be able to move 5.]

[Rolepgeek]

Engineers are just too squishy with combination of low health and the part where it costs them health to build. I know Doc Holiday seems extremely powerful because you can heal yourself for 50 damage a turn once you get the Dispenser to level 3, but a lot of weapons will almost kill us in one hit anyway, and it will take at the very least, if noone is shooting at us, 4-5 turns, all of which we have to spend next to the dispenser, 3 of which we are doing nothing but upgrading it, to get it to that level. With 50% boost, maybe combined with a 25 point boost to health anyway, we can accomplish something worthwhile.

Of course, maybe I just think that because we're in a bad spot and I don't have the protection of my teammates like RED team does. Do you feel squishy, Scapheap?

Why not implement metal as Engie ammo?

[Rolepgeek]

Why not implement metal as Engie ammo?

Or just tie it into their special ability, like how Cloak is part of Spies.

Edit: Similarly, it should also probably require them to be holding/using their melee weapon to do so. Although switching weapons takes a long time, in this game, so I dunno.

Twirl my revolver, and blast GSF, keep on sappin'

[Nerjin]

Okay so a few things:

1. Oh whoops, totally forgot about the sappings. I'll edit that in for the next turn.

2. Respawn time will be reduced to 2 turns as the majority seem to want that.

3. I'll go ahead and implement metal as a resource. Though it will increase a lot of costs and change building a bit. Let's give it a go though.

Question for Nerjin: How come I shot [LKE] instead of [GSF]?

Another question for Nerjin: I only count 5 squares between [JAK] at M19 and the RED dispenser at J14. Doesn't the minigun have a max range of 6 squares?

Really strange, the way it is a huge fracking tragedy every time a BLU gets borked after stumbling over to where we can just walk up and shoot him. NEWS FLASH FOR COOL JEDI DUDES THINKING THEY CAN PARRY THE BLASTERS: THIS ISN'T GODDAMN STAR WARS.

Why even bother to shoot people if they come back, fully healed and stocked (and with a class and loadout that is better suited to the current situation), almost immediately? With two-turn respawn, keeping enemies alive (or killing yourself) for tactical reasons is going to be the rational choice in many situations. That seems wrong for a game that is supposed to be about combat. How about at least making the respawn time longer when the player does a class/loadout change?

I admit that the issue with engies spending all their health on buildings and then dying when a heavy looks at them funny is real, though. Plus, the spend-health-to-build mechanic is a little morbid. Is he powering those buildings with his own blood? It seems to me that complexity for the GM comes more from doing updates than from the number of counters. Updating a metal counter won't be any harder to do/remember than updating the health counter, will it? Actually, I believe Nerjin has already forgotten to update scapheap's at least once.

We're not going to just let you take the control point. What would you do? Sit back, do nothing?

Two turns is actually a good bit of time. Factor in the time to get from base to anywhere that matters...

Action P'med

[Nerjin]

Question for Nerjin: How come I shot [LKE] instead of [GSF]?

Because you said to shoot either of them in the PM and since the distance was the same I flipped a coin.

Another question for Nerjin: I only count 5 squares between [JAK] at M19 and the RED dispenser at J14. Doesn't the minigun have a max range of 6 squares?

Turns out I never really mentioned this to you guys. When you fire at anything but a straight line of squares I do A²+B²=C² and then Square Root C to get how far away you are.

Um... I've been working on a weapon for that.

Like I said this is a beta. If 2 turns ends up being too little I'll ramp it back up to 3. But you get the same exact option if you get killed so I figure it'll let people fight more often. I dunno. I'm just trying it out.

Well I AM working on that. I've also misplaced people on the map, forgotten to edit their initiative bonus, cloak numbers, etc. etc.

Action PM'ed.
AI1's action PM'ed.

Well, it was more like "shoot [GSF] if I can, otherwise shoot [LKE]", but it's no big deal.

Turns out I never really mentioned this to you guys. When you fire at anything but a straight line of squares I do A²+B²=C² and then Square Root C to get how far away you are.

Getting fancy with the Euclideans, eh? I'll keep that in mind.

Figures. "Use the Force, Wyrmgold!"

OK, fine.

  YES AND THEN I HELPED YOU FIX IT.
