remove unlimited ammo boxes for "Major" engineer

Currently engie can place unlimited ammoboxes once he hits a certian score...
It's a game killer on district and unfair tbh.
limit it to half recharge rate or something and remove the unlimited part.

Nuff said!

 

If you mean the district thing, that happens because every time you respawn, you can drop a new ammobox. It doesn't have anything to do with score.

Unless I've missed something completely.

 

This can't be true. There's no way this can be true. I couldn't have missed something as exploitable as unlimited ammo boxes once you hit a certain rank.

 

Balancing for district is like fighting for peace and fucking for virginity.

I never noticed unlimited ammo boxes before... Then again I hate playing rev engie on District because it makes it last longer.

 

The hell are you talking about?

1. its district so I don't care.
2. You can place unlimited ammo boxes at any rank.
3. The most ammo boxes I've ever placed in one life was probly 10, most likely on district. I think the recharge time between dropping boxes is 90-120. Now lets say i can drop a total of 10 ammo boxes. with a 30 second recharge in between dropping them. once placed the box remains for 90 seconds (i think) i can drop 2 boxes before the first one is "spent."

Now imagine your on NF playing district, and you want to block off the street. you and 5-6 other Engineers line your massive ammo boxes up in the street. Blockade. Congrats, your making a shit map even more shit.

 

I know you can reselect your class to place a new ammobox but I wasn't aware of any other way of ammobox spamming.

 

Only other way is to constantly die and respawn. That's it.

 

Perhaps Swaan means that engineers can indefinitely drop ammo boxes after each cooldown. Disregarding the cooldown, engineers can drop unlimited ammo boxes.

But since there is a cooldown, it's ok that they are 'unlimited'.

 

Unless you kill yourself and respawn (not being revived), then the cooldown resets and you can drop another.

 

Well that's just a bug. It's not really something that needs discussing in this part of the forums.

 

It's the reason he made the suggestion. Why should we not discuss it then?

 

When I say "discuss", I mean that we are collectively deciding if an idea is good or bad.

If it's just a bug fix, there's nothing to "discuss". It's a bug, not an idea, so it can't be "good" or "bad".

 

Okay, the suggestion is bad because the problem is a bug.
Discuss.

 

Trickster, Nihia has been able to bug the engi thingy on escort and get actually unlimited ammoboxes, he could place them down without any recharge time between it.

 

Pics How-to guide or it didn't happen.

 

Go ask nihi

 

Ammo-drop delay decreases 20 seconds with every rank (starts with 200 secs).
So, rank 10 (major) = 0 seconds delay.

It's probably just that you're not running around as lvl 100 engy dropping ammo in the field anymore on most maps, so ammo spam is rare.

 

It does? Seriously, if that's true, I honestly never knew that.

 

High level engies are so op. I love it.
