y do dragoons suck on SHOTGNU?
« on: August 07, 2006, 11:53:32 am »
really i want to kno, and its not just me whos asking it. on most servers dragoons are the most fear alien to a stage 1 human if they are good. but on shotgnu u have to be very lucky just to get a kill. i mean its like almost imposible to to the ponce bite attack. soo want i want to kno is how has the dragoon been changed? attack distance? ponce damage? ponce effective zone? i dunno.... or is it cose every 1 just lags so much. and if it has been changed y?

ps, does any 1 else miss the early years? when there was only a hand full of servers.. all running the standed stuff, standed luci, no ff and no vote spammerss so voting was able....

Don't cite me, but I think there was a bugfix with TJWs mod to remove a pouncing / jumping bug.

And I don't miss the old days where you nearly had only one flavor of server...

On a related topic, there seems to be a noticable lag when before the lucifer cannon starts charging/fires on satgnu, is this intentional?

As far is I know, SATGNU uses the unmodified Lucy again.

On the Goon pounce, I still have to learn how to use this 'fixed' pounce, so my first thoughts are, WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED? Kinda like that.

Could this also be on other servers?, because i'm seriously having problems with the poUnce (See the BIG U there?, it's POUNCE, not ponce) which i didn't used to have..

Yes, i do think the pounce has been nerfed. I used to be able to fly into a human and kill them almost instantly, now i cant do anything but bite them. There is something wierd also where on tjw's server, a goon can take down a bsuit faster than a tyrant. Did he nerf us all to drive up his bandwithd (kidding)

yea i kno im not too good with the whole spelling thing, but u got wat i ment.
and as far as i kno.... mDc ARNT DUMASSES, we just like to question things, alot... and i like to mone now and then about stuff when i get feed up with the true dumasses.... *COUGH COUGH* rasz_pl and Belier13, who both are a pain, belier13 i dont mind to too much, u just pissed me off WHEN U DECONED THE RECATOR COSE U WERE BORED!!
....and where do i start with u rasz_pl..... hmmm first off dont diss mDc all the time, yes we have more then great aim, yes we have great team play, AND YES we kno how to build far better then u.... so u see when u diss us, then we own ur ass in a game, u just make ur self look so much worce. now a smart person would say 'mDc are here look out!' cose then when u own us it makes u look so much better.

o btw, apart from the luci and dragoon, i like SATGNU, nice build points and nice max player count. but i request that u have an admin in more to watch out for people like Belier13 deconing the reator to piss people off. and rasz_pl insulting felo team mates that suck, yes they suck, but dont rub it in there faces.  

and if u have had the time to read this far... thank you

When did rasz insult mDc? He actually said they aren't dumbasses in this thread. Your reply kind of contradicts what rasz said . . .

Damn, I knew all along something is wrong with me


Hydra, please learn english or ask someone to translate for you, you seem to not understand simple sentences like "you just SUCK as goon" or "MD turd hugging top scorer crouching at the end of long corridor dretch sniper is USELESS to human team"(thats Thorn btw :P).

 Yes I bitch a LOT, but that is my constitutional right as a leading player of a sucky team with retarded "lets spread turds in the hallway leaving armory naked" builder and a gang of "lets dretch turrets jumping as loud as we can, we get hit by rifle, die on turret and give 175 creds to humies, but it SURE BEATS waiting 10 seconds for a single blind rifleman to kill him from behind with double headshot" morons. Hey, lets not forget "I shot everything that moves including my team leader" types, or "I got 2000 creds, BS, Lucy, 3 kills since map started 40 minutes ago, AND I hug tesla spamming EVERYTHING in my sight, especially if its close to reactor, I ignore _OM is down_  or _no eggs, last granger, HUNT biaches_ messages, leaving base would be TOO DANGEROUS, besides Im invaluable to my team where I am now", you can replace BS/lucy with jetpack/chain combo. I love "I have to help that basi kill a human" goons who TK me every 2-3 minutes even tho Im leading alien team as a basi and kill every single human without any trouble, me spamming "GO AWAY" is sure a joke or something, why would I refuse help of such a helpfull goon, right?

Wait, Lava goon pounce IS changed? In what way? afaik the only thing that has been fixed was speedbug. And I get eaten alive in one pounce/swipe by napkin or sirfrancisbacon on a daily basis soo ...

I received this from TJW the other day:

1) no biting until you've landed from the pounce and 400ms has passed.
2) distance used for calculating a pounce hit increased from 72 to 96

I have not yet installed it on Aliens' Wrath, not sure about SATgnu...?

Right spose i should justerfie why i have beef with rasz_pl, welll.... *bends fingers back*.... well for starters, the first time u ever pissed me off was when i made my turret post, where u spamed it with bollicks, then in a game u had a go at me cose some one made the turrets in a row.... i made the post to show the pro's and con's about turret placements, not wat was the best method. ( see it  here )

next was my friendly fire post, u made a crapy post about mDc cant aim.... well if we sit on turrets sniping drenches, that takes abit of aim doesnt it??
( see it here )

and now here, o its not cose SATGNU is different its cose i suck as a goon, do u even watch me in games, stage 1 humans have no chance when im a goon and they wonder outside of their base. ( prof )

see no rasz_pl u have to learn, im one of thes people that if u say 'U SUCK' to me, ill prove you wrong if im not, now if u sed 'enough with the moning now hydra, yea i think that goons have been changed/not changed on satgnu' this posted would have ended a few posts ago.

The fixed Dragoon pounce is active on SATGNU, and I still have to make peace with it. but that will be over in a few days. Too bad it's not as much fun as Dretchpunting.

on satgnu i run latest tjw code.

well pouncing works fine for me. i get a lot of kills with it ;p

and the lucy WAS modified.

its completly changed back to  normal values now since lot of ppl complained about it.

anyway not being able to make kills with goons is more youre lack of skill than tjw's code.

As long as you don't try to chomp on the first jump, you can still charge chomp very efficiently in long corridors.

You pounce, you land, 0.4s pass and THEN you can make your first chomp. You can chomp when you jump instead of pounce.

just tried on satgnu, you can pounce/chomp in the air, one hit kill, everything is fine, goons that cant aim and miss the first pounce/chomp are screwed tho :]

Because of a client prediction mis-match you will hear the chomp sound when you try to bite while pouncing.  Nobody else hears this and you do not actually bite when pouncing.

I've not had any problems playing as a dragoon an SATGNU
