++++ Small Weasel Petition ++++

The same could be said when the Pure Public was the top arena and Leviathans had the second arena, which at times was mostly empty.

[raizin]

i guess my answer would be yes then.

pub 0 is full because people want to wb fight on the bottom of the map and LT.

if people want to base they can go to pub 10.

[Mootland Farmer]

So you'd rather have one big public with the second public with no one in it?

[raizin]

What if... the big Weasel was more durable and more assassin like? Currently it is quite slow and cumbersome, but I'm not suggesting it should be like a ufo... Maybe an extra repel and faster bullets like Subverter said? I was thinking about giving it a brick, but I can see how that would end up in Pure Public... just some ideas... Also, public population cap may be reduced to 35. I want to get two Publics going for most of the day.

fuck this idea. did it a year ago and it sucked.

I remember weasel dueling with you, Subverter. You were one slippery bugger. Good times on the roof. As a matter of fact, I don't recall seeing you in any ship other than weasel. Well, weasel duels are out the window for the foreseeable future. A clear and consistent majority of pub players want the small weasel back (more energy, faster ship, faster bullets, xradar, cloak+stealth drains health, no rocket or repel, and actually useful for something) yet it has remained in the shitter for about 20 months now, by my guess. It's a travesty. Since nothing has changed in all this time, I see no reason to expect it ever will.

The staff member responsible for the weasel down(-and-out-)grade is no longer even active. He just shoved a rusty rake up our ass and left without even the common courtesy of a reach-around.

I suspect your return will therefore be short-lived, but if you happen to see me in the game, PM me and we can weasel it up in one of the derelict arenas that still has the good weasel settings.

I have some ideas about the weasel, and I demand that they be read by someone. The weasel should be a hard ship to use well, and it should be usefull for more than just getting lame kills on levs, and WB's outside of base. This new weasel is crap though, and that is all it's good for now. So here are my ideas for fixing this travesty.

1.Make it tiny. It needs to be able to sneak into the FR from roof and disrupt an entrenched enemy team.

2.Lower the energy back down to 1000 so lvl 2 bullets can kill it in one shot.

3.Slightly faster bullets. The bullets were slow before, but now they seem to crawl even when you boost them.

4.Same for the ship speed. It seems like they move slower now too. Maybe it's just because they are bigger, and I haven't played in awhile, so I dunno.

5A.Get rid of stealth, or cloak... the radar transparent one, not the invisible one. They will still be hard to hit (especially if they were tiny), but give ships without x-radar (levs,WBs) a chance.

5B.Or keep both, but make it drainy, so they can't stay totally invisible for very long. I liked the extra challenge of managing my energy levels, and the need to get in and do what needs to be done before it was to late.

6.Lvl2 bullets might be a good idea, but they would HAVE to be able to fire 2 shots at least as fast as a lanc, or else forget it. And honestly I think it would be a bad idea even then.

7.give them back x-radar. weasel duels are/were fun as hell, and made them usefull for baseing even when your team already had base.

8.Not a weasel change. Give the ships that are x-radar capable (jav,terr,shark,lanc,weasel[if you give them x-radar]) x-radar ALL the time, and not just sometimes. This might only apply to the lanc, not sure though.

9.Don't spawn them with reps and rockets. If they feel they need it for some special occasion they can buy it (if they have the points), but spawning them with rockets makes it too easy to lame WBs IMO. And with a tiny weasel they can just learn to dodge instead of relying on reps to save them.

That's all the ideas I can think of for now. I would at least like too see a weekend event with these changes to see how other people feel about them some time.

[kthx]

Yeah, trolled me so hard after you quit the forums for six months because nobody here likes distension and it died, nice one.

[DankNuggets]

Yawn, why cry you failure.

laughing, not crying, at you I might add!:w00t:

you are so EZ


I come back for 5 mins and I can still troll you!!

2EZ

[kthx]

Yawn, why cry you failure.

[DankNuggets]

It is like a thread full of pubbers wanting things done to their pub.. don't they realize that vets make all the decisions here.

LOL vets? Try one or two people, just tell me you still aren't one of them.

I was just laughing at people like danknuggetz thinking they have an opinion that matters, thought they knew better after distension failed even though that was supposed to kill the zone forever

LOL!! (me laughing) I was just laughing at people like kthx who still has to keep some sort of forum-feud going, despite the fact that I haven't even posted in months. Glad to see you're making new friends.

Distension failed because Qan couldn't update it often enough and assholes like yourself bad mouthed it at every oppurtunity. But rest assured, I had much more fun in the few months it was popular than you've probably had in the last 5 years in this game. You're the only person who said distension would kill the zone, failure or not. Looks like you were wrong on both fronts.

This game has really gone to shit. I have to say the new TWD page looks really nice, but beyond that, there's been nothing noteworthy. Pubs are even more lacking than they were at the beginning of the year. I guess once pubs are dead for good, you guys can really make this into the straight basing-wbduel game you wanted it to be.

[fableman]

Insert the small weasles and remove the cloak and then all fine!
Nothing else need to be fixed.

[Mango.]

why not bring weasels back to older settings and make them slightly too big to fit thru 1 tile holes?

o wait its cuz staff doesnt care about pub

[AnZu]

Not enough shay laren gifs itt



and to stay on topic, here's a weasel

[Leaf]

The problem with the small cloakers was that it was waaaaay too easy to reset the flag. Like I said, if the reset buffer was set to 10 seconds it wouldn't be a big deal.

Doing this would have 2 effects, first it would make sure that if the flag is grabbed by the opposing freq it was at least a TEAM effort. It requires more than 1 or 2 cloakers to hold the flag for at least 10 seconds. It would also decrease the impulse people have to change to the small cloaker when the round is almost up so we don't see the cloaker vs. jav match that eventually happens.

If the reset buffer was set to 10 seconds I'd actually prefer the small cloaker.

Signed! Very good post.
