Cloakers a newb ship now

[HandofDeath]

I don't see how the changes to Weasels are any improvement over the old ones. Weasels have just become the "pub strayer" monstrosity that lancasters used to be, only these ones have a lot more tools than lancasters did and are a lot harder to kill.

There's been no decrease in the annoyingness of this ship. In fact, I greatly preferred the old changes. At least then you knew you could kill a cloaker once you got them out of stealth. Now, stealth is a thing of the past and thrust-shotting through the middle of base is a norm.

While I'm on that note... why bring the basing lancaster settings into pubs? I find lancasters difficult to predict (and therefore fight against) because there's no telling whether the ship is using multifire or not. The cooldown length/energy use is very different between the two settings and it sucks to fight them.

Pubs have only become less fun for me. Don't fuck with what has worked for years, IMO.

You shouldn't be afraid of change just because it owns you.

[HandofDeath]

I have no problem with good change, I just hate bad change with a passion

I liked the first cloaker change, with the small model. I hate this one.

I just came back and these changes are pissannoying.

[PH]

This has been done before. Give it a rest.

Why don't we all stop bitching about the settings for once and play? I think ya'll would find it interesting how much less you'd get killed if you weren't typing complaining.

This Useless Crap about those weasels! STOP IT or I'll change your butthole into a pipeline

HandOfDeath: Instead of simply stating

omfg my spaceship broke down

please offer an opinion on what could be done

omfg my spaceship broke down, I say that TW staff should consider public telephones with which to phone a repairman set up for such unfortunates as me, otherwise we'll come and complain about it (we'll do that anyway but quieter)

As I believe Pure hatred has said... WHINING GETS NOWHERE. You have said weasels are bad (opinion) and they are the new lanc (also opinion, although most will agree this weasel>original lanc in pure power terms) and that lanc is unpredictable(your problem, not really as bad as you make it out to be. you find out what they're using when they shoot. And its not the cooldown, its just energy drain... nonmulti costs less energy)
But you have just made some complaints, and expected an already pressured staff who I believe have lives of their own to figure out a solution for it. No offence to staff, but I long ago lost all hope that staff could dedicate their whole lives to the betterment of tw. If they did, perhaps it would be perfect and happy and we'd all fly around as happy as can be. But they have lives, and sadly cannot create this ideal TW. They can only do their best, which in some cases turns out to be a mistake either due to them 'doing stuff for the sake of doing it '(ie something needed doing, so they just did... something) or bad planning, or their opinion differing from players opinions. They can never be perfect, who can?

I do agree on you on one point... I too liked to shrinking of the cloaker (I assume thats what you were reffering to) Ever since april fools '02 I played the little weasel and loved it... then they made it permanent.

[Rigor]

yea cloakers do suck now I WANT THE OLD STUFF BACK...stupid whining nerds had to get their way.... ..... :grin:

[Liquid Blue]

Now? How long has this game been out again?

[tahkis]

Haha, Handofdeath has played last time about 6 months ago. Lots of changes happened after that. ^^

How has the fact that they can no longer permanently stealth and cloak together made them even harder?

[Torn Wing]

"I hate X very hard."

[ShadowHand]

I say that weasels should be put back to the way they were before all these recent changes

AND

Take OUT weasels with the "Pure Pub" settings along with levis
That way people who actually want to learn how to base can play freely without being bothered by them at all

[Theif of Time]

and what would you propose to be done about the spawning wbs or roofers? Why not just eliminate them too and have each team spawn in 1 ear and only be able to use ships 3,2,5,7 and 8

[Kawrae]

Cloackers should be removed, seriously.
