3 Things
« on: November 01, 2010, 07:36:59 am »
1. I noticed while playing humans that I was still getting credits from structure kills. Was the update only to specific alien classes or am I just crazy?
2. The :defcomp:'s function should apply to structures that are running from the power of :repeater:s instead of just the structures under the :reactor:. Since people are saying its so useless, perhaps this would help a little, but I think it needs a bit more of an improvement. As of now it's as useless as a :human: walking into a :hovel:.
3. Click to ready yourself....this is a huge ultraatomicmassivefacepalm. It's been mentioned before. Is it going to change? I know whoever wants this kept in the game is probably one of the players that don't CLICK and enjoys laughing the whole 13414321 hours we sit there waiting for the next round. A timer works fine, 15-20 seconds is plenty of time to spam the chat line, say gg, and troll to your hearts content.   

Feedback? Trolling?
guys...GUYS

1. I'll book you to the asylum.

2. Defence computer again. Yes, I feel it's way too weak still. I'd for one increase it's range and HP. A +1-2 repair rate is needed too, in my opinion.

(Optionally, a defence computer boosting tesla damage/range would be nice since teslas seem to be only good for some very special cases even still. Not in a way that people would only do tesla bases but a small bonus to make tesla a wee more viable structure to be used in combination with turrets.)

3. I'm one of those "morons" who doesn't click. A pause between rounds in that you can say those yays and quickly do something you need to and still get in time to the game is simply great. The intermission lasts only 20 seconds anyways (correct me if I'm wrong) so I don't understand why people are so impatient. Check those IRC logs, get a sip from your coffee mug and relax for the next round!

1. I'm pretty sure they fixed this at some point. you may just be getting credits for staying alive.

2. This may help the defense computer but overall unless there is a major buff or we see some new structure for the aliens I it will become the next hovel

3. I HATE when people sit there and don't click not when they are AFK or something but it's when they sit there typing into the chat that it wasn't a good game and we only won because we had this player or our team was feeding way too much, etc. A timer would solve this or make it so there only needs to be a 75-80 % of players being ready to start next round

So, when i don't click at all, or a player has gone afk, do you imagine that the server will just sit there at the score sheet until those players either return and click or an admin allreadys?
I like a break between games, especially when i've been involved in the last minute rush that clinched the round, it's good to have a chance to congratulate one's team and let the heartrate settle a little before starting again. Thankfully i'm told that allready has been removed for l4s, so my break is no longer under threat from impatient admins :)

The timer is 20 seconds (if memory serves?)
