Mass driver and lucifer cannon is over powered too the max.
« on: August 01, 2010, 09:22:41 pm »
In my opinion I think those guns are just plane gay, good too use when your a humen if your good at. Not me. But When Im a big rampaging Tyrant my health is at 350, Im hit with a Lucifer cannon im down too 90 health. WTF. It happened today. Or Im getting raped by mass driver with ofcource granger or dragoon. I probably need a new mouse because every time I get raped in a match by only mass driver or mostly mostly lucifer cannon, I end up slamming my mouse onto my desk. LMFAO.   LOL.  But thats me. Thats my feedback opinion........  What do you guys think...

While I don't think either of them are OP or unbalancing, I do think that the Luci is a bit too cheap.
On the other hand, I'm very disappointed with it's secondary fire. I think it should either be improved or removed ( :hovel:, :defcomp:) because no one's using it.
I have some ideas, which I said somewhere b4, to give it a longer delay, but to fire three of the small projectiles, which would behave similarly to the MOD-3 Rocket launcher from the original FEAR (fly in a kinda spiral, not pinpoint accuracy). That would actually have me using secondary fire.

If anything I'd say md is underpowered in comparison to the lasgun. Also, if your granger keeps getting killed by mders, that's not really a problem with the md...

You may be right about the luci, but it is s3 and so I'm not fussed about it being a bit nuts. :)

What does it have to do with homosexual aeroplanes?

Maybe if you stopped with the insults that 10yo kids think are immature then I'd have bothered to read enough of your post to be writing something constructive right now.

The Lucy is part of S3 incentive and, for that reason, is supposed to be kind of rediculous. You wanna nerf the Lucy, then you'll need to nerf the Tyrant even more. That's the whole point of stage increases; to allow you to out-gun your opponents.

On a side note: If you're fighting with Granger outside of base, than you're feeding anyway and should therefor expect to be destroyed by Lucy-spam. That's just the way the game works.
Don't look at me! GO! SPAM EGGS.
Oooooohoho how we can argue about this one...

I just have to say, that first sentence had fail spelling.

And both of those weapons are high damage yet slow firing weapons, meant to be used against slower moving targets.  If you can move fast enough, they aren't a problem.

Grangers have no chance of escaping from any humans, much less a human with a Mass Driver.

You'd be surprised the escapes I've pulled on a near-alien-loss situation with a single Granger. If you jump at just the right time and apply just the correct amount of wallwalking, you can easily evade humans. Given fact is: the humans are usually pretty fuckin' dumb.

Well if you look at statistics, maybe (not sure though), but when I'm maraing, I noticed that MDs are more dangerous than Lasguns.

Can't we make a sticky in this forum to disencourage all "weapon X is too strong for I am always getting owned with it"-topics?

P l e a s e.
I have retired from Tremulous. Definetely. If you play a game just because it has become a habit, but u'r only feeling like a kindergarten teacher - well, maybe I am just getting too old (hell, I was a teenager when DukeNukem3D was *new*) - it's probably not a bad idea to just let it be. And I do.

Don't take this personally. Have fun, guys.

Firstinaction, you realize that the luci should be able to take a tyrant down that much because the tyrant can destroy a group of humans in a matter of seconds when it comes to trample. And if you knew how to pounce you would be fine with a goon vs md situation.

How to escape humans as  :granger: :
Works only if human is naked and has a rifle! Just charge him, do some dodges to the left and right, them try to be a hat, and then bite, bite, bite , bite, T-bag, T-bag, do some more bites and T-bagging. Voila! You just escaped a serious death as a granger!
