New Shark ?

[The Unliked One...]

The problem is that some part of the group doesn't like a certain changes in this game. Once the change is done, they quit or complain. Once that's over there will be another change which will make people very cross again and some will quit. And this never ending circle will continue since it's hard to please everyone so therefor, should we just stick with the old settings and never touch them again?

Feeling a bit redundant then? As I learned in my endeavours in being a SMod, no matter what decision you make, players will bitch. You will never please everyone in this game, and considering most public players play and do not use the forums alot, it's quite difficult to receive guided feedback. When I tested my ideas I did talk to alot of different players; Levi-Terrs, Basers, even the occasional dueler. And like I mentioned in my leaving thread in the Staff forum months ago, I said that changing Publics again and again would only cause more problems. There were problems with Publics before I created Pure Publics. There will always be problems if you let someone have an opinion.

The map may need the occasional new tileset so it doesn't look like something from the dark ages or a tweak to the MVP status in Pure Publics, but no drastic changes to ship settings. It just pisses players off. And it's something that pisses the players off the most. I am also still indecisive to these wild gun weekends. But who am I, I'm just another player with an opinion. I do however applaud the effort you're putting into Publics Dad's, but just be careful.

in all honesty how is giving the shark a weak bullet(s) going to help increase subspace's population? Can we stop coming up with pointless, useless ideas and spend the time developing effective strategies that will increase the population if possible.

Not sure you did too much to help the zone Rage, or do your job. Your angle is peculiar and you have nothing meaningful to say in your defense mate.

And at least dads asked you guys first to get opinions, a lot of you are actually whining at him and he hasn't even made a permanent change to the shark.





Relax.

can't believe this was even considered :fear:

mootland farmer 4 teh winz !!! ^-^

[dads revenge]

As I said in the first post some people ingame asked about it which is why I put it here to get a broader response.

As for you Rageko I would not have hired you in the first place and not to put my head in the noose here but Sertifi actually has been doing a fairly good job. Do you even know what I do? I am not in PR I am the "Map Uploader" and the weekend changes are not all my ideas. So do yourself a favor next time you decide to open your useless mouth remember if all the shit in your head spills out at once you will get dumber then you already are.

Please don't.

Reason: Why? The sharks current settings fit its purpose.

2 terrs, sharks w/ guns, I wait in anticipation for what I can laugh at next.

i could go both ways on this one:

1) Currently, the shark isn't a popular pub ship. I think we can agree that with the exception of some heated purepub battles, the breakdown goes something like WBS, JAVS, LANCS/LEVIS, TERRS/SHARKS, X/SPIDERS in order of most played to least played. Maybe you could move spiders around in there, but my point is that wbs and javs currently dominate ship choice. If you were to give the shark bullets, it would instantly push it up to the level with wbs and javs, and you'd almost always have 3-4 sharks on your team. A big problem with this (besides the rep fests, which could happen anyway) is the fact that the team is limited to 8(?) mines. Not that I want more mines, but the people sharking are going to be costantly spamming ?help or complaining that they can't mine. Also going to be a lot more mining in the base, and way more randomly repped mines.

2)As the balance of power will shift more to sharks, it's even more important to keep them balanced. With the current pub settings, i'd make it so that the shark had level 1 bullets and shrap and emps. It should be able to shoot at least 3 bullets in rapid succession - possibly so rapid that it's hard to only shoot one or two, causing the shark to easily deplete it's own energy. It should have modest to low bullet speed, and most of the bullet momentum should come from the ship momentum so that it could blanket an enemy, but couldn't camp or shoot from far away effectively. The cool down should be such that you can shoot three bullets really fast, but have to wait awhile to shoot again. I don't know if it can be set that way or if it's just up to the recharge vaule. It should have the option of using mulit (i guess 2 shot maximum) and i think the multi should be a front and equal angle rear shots (like in distension, 120 deg. apart)


3) All this being said, I think it's probably best not to give the shark a gun. I though it was fun as hell to do it in Distension, but that's a different animal than the pubs. I think that especially in purepub, it'll make sharks the new jav, and idiots will mine and rep bursts everywhere. It'd be really fun in the hands of someone who knew how to use it, but very annoying in the hands of a tking newb (note that even though adding bullets doesn't increase tks, it will lead to more sharks in general, which will increase tks).

Relax.

I did my part of the help i was supposed to do, did my TWDT hostings, even subbed for you when you wern't around while you signed up for it. And i hosted events enough and just fine, something the ER's nowadays can't seem to do anymore.
But what can i say, maybe my angle is just to peculair.

I'm sure i gave my opinion of it, nothing else.

Sertifi actually has been doing a fairly good job.

Ah this is true, not only is he able to host what he wants when he desires to,which really, isn't to much. He was also able to poke the correct person at the correct time when TWDT was going on. Kudos to you sert, this is not what just anyone can do.

and the weekend changes are not all my ideas.

Its time for Wild Guns Weekend.This weekends idea brought to you by dads revenge"

Even if they are not all your ideas, i can't say your ideas sparkle with excellence. Far from that.

Do you even know what I do? I am not in PR I am the *putfile xxx.lvl person

fixed

please, do yourself a favor and the next time you think of a idea that came straight from your ass, go shoot yourself.

i for one would like to see weekends left alone

it means i dont get the chance to pub in TW as weekends and i am reduced to hanging out in ?go javs weekends are my main playing time...

Out of the weekend changes i've like the subtle (like making all the spiders look like spiders) or simple ones (like levi mk II) much more than ones which screw with all the ships.

Just something fun an quirky and imaginative which doesnt impact the normal gameplay to a large degree would be what i would like to see. :wub:
