Trickster's massive thread of "fixes" needed for empires (Bugs, models and Gameplay)

Glow is dumb. Bullets bouncing off is awesome as hell.

 

But it doesn't fit the style, that's going into borderline cartoony, and the game isn't quite cartoony yet.

 

what are you talking about

space nazis vs guerrillas

monster trucks

wwi soviet tanks vs modern western tanks

compare the dod reskins with the default models

empires is cartoony

 

sparks, u c

 

It's still got a gritty atmosphere.

It's more like a steampunk type thing, (not actually steampunk though)
It's got cartoony concepts, but it's nto gone into the realm of completely fucking unrealistic yet.

 

sparks are reasonable

 

Sparks when?
When they get shot?
While they're moving?
What?

 

I agree with all of Tricksters suggested features but the killing turrets in melee. Grens can perfectly kill turrets from far, engees have their calculator and scouts can sab. i think if there is a change needed, then riflemen should get an additional option to kill turrets, since their grenades are a pain in the ass to use against turrets.

 

when they get shot!

 

4. Your suggestion for damage, not what's in 2.24.

9. Meh. I suppose.

 

4. Oh, ok. If the godrush is useless and the faster reload time overpowered, in which ways?

 

1) Scout rifle. Just sort it out. Either decide on making it useful, making it have a purpose, or remove it. It's currently a giant newbie trap.
I have to agree, just buff it to 2.12

Also, I think for flags, there should be no multipliers

 

buff it to 2.12, nerf it with skill slot prereq

 

Why should there be no multipliers for flags? It means on maps such as coast that with less than say 24 players, the flag is critical, and with more than 48, it's barely that important.

 

Ticket or resource? Removing either screws up map balance, and will make games last 10 times longer.

 

Mapper controlled imo.

 

I think all that sniper rifle needs is more zoom. (maybe current zoom and with another right click more zoom)

And maybe give better damage and balance that with gravity so it wont be easy to hit. Iam sure it can be done, just look at the mortar. Why not make the sniper rifle have gravity? And also not instant hit (it will hit little later after you shoot)

Just like sniper in bf2, you give headshot? Enemy down. You dont hit head? Then shoot again to finish him. And that will balance with the gravity so it wont be too easy.

I see no reason why not make this.

Edit: and i see there is no suggestion like this, i will maybe post it later to suggestions

 

I say just rip the scope off the sniper rifle models and call them shotguns, they look OK, and solves the sniper problem quickly. (I am assuming removing the scope would be easy based off Trickster claiming removing the rpg shield was).

 

Gren isnt the only class that can kill turrets.
The problem is not that its to hard to kill turrets,
its because most people dont want to do it or
are to stupid. You place a wall, a ammo crate and nade it
as engi. Everytime I see a turret, especially level 3, I see
like 4 people camping around the corner doing nothing
because they are to stupid to figure out how to actually
kill it, yes grenadiers too.

Dont encourage stupidity by making it easy to kill the
turret with bullets. Their are enough ways to kill turrets in
the game but people seem not able to actually use it.
So the problem is that people dont know how to handle
turrets. Fix that dont make it piss easy to kill it.

Btw. make it that 3 rockets are enough again to kill a turret,
so a gren with standart ammo can handle one.
