Basilisk Gas
« on: January 14, 2011, 04:34:00 am »
It's okay but what if it was damaging and/or the basi could poison with it?
Or further out in experimental land make the basi a weak booster or possibly the basi always carries poison?(stage 3 )
Maybe or would it be balance suicide?

The basi gas is strong enough as-is, really.

The slowing effect of basi gas is so absolutely and devastatingly lethal that I couldn't imagine giving it more than it already has.
The reason poison is bound to the booster is so the humans can get rid of it. If it were given to basilisks, it would give aliens an incredible ability to keep a game alive indeterminately with just dretches and basilisks.

Doing drugs is not healthy. Something needs to be changed.

I would kinda like to see how it would affect gameplay if the gas not only made your vision do a figure-eight, but if it also obscured it a bit(like a light fog overlayed or something)

Or the gas could make all the humans see other humans as aliens, or vice versa.

I agree, the basilisk should have a mini booster function with poison that only does half the dmg of normal. Also the poison cloud gas DID exist in 1.1, but only does 55 dmg on naked humans. Kinda usless in 1.1 because all it did is annoy people and doesn't work on humans with any sort of armour except helmet (on my private server you can gass helmets but not armour, glitchy?)

Oh, it was VERY annoying, when lisks would gas the human spawns in ATCS through the walls.

You know what would be wicked?
Instead of a boring figure-eight, make it a cloverleaf, and after every leaf it picks one of the two opposite leaves at random.

Why can't the developers just make the gas particles bigger against map stuff (boundry box as big as a dretch?) and bounce more, and also make it 'bounce' of things like glass, although in return gas will bounce off humans, but still, that's a solution.
