Title: Basi Grab
Post by: Sanity on May 05, 2007, 11:11:57 am

Well heres the story. I grab a human by jumping on his head or from behind. And he just turns around and shoots me because of ultra high sensitivity. (no hes not a bsuit)

That kinda effed because that kinda stuffs the whole idea of basilisk grab. I think it would be better if the aim for humans was alot more restricted, if not 100% restricted while grabed by a lisk (anless hes a bsuit) so people cant just turn high sensitivity turn and shoot.

Just an idea.

Looking at it's mouth I'd say it latches onto humans in a similar fashion to a sea lamprey.

That explaination reminds me of the cookie cutter shark, although the basi doesn't bite chunks out of hummies and run off xD

humans are limited to 90 degrees of motion at most while grabbed (btw you don't need 100000 sensitivity to turn around, i can pull it off with 5), however there are ways for humans to get out of grab: if you aren't facing them for even a moment, they will get out (like if you jumped straight up and didn't look down at them in time); if you have less than ~90 fps, there is a decent chance for them to walk out of a grab; if your connection isn't perfectly smooth, they will walk out of a grab.

Don't forget to mention that usually the one with the higher snap usually walks away :)

Thats true... if you jack up sensitivity of the mouse, and turn rapidly back, you dont have to move your mouse too far, just a little jerk to the side, and ul be lookin backwards cuz the sensi is high. It works well, since its so rapid, little movement like this - makes the mouse fly across the screen... Instead of little movement like - making the mouse go -------- this far, it makes it fly like ---------------------------------------------------------------------- so... yeah i agree that is a sucky part
