TWL! Important Poll #3

[Fire Phoenix]

Subspace is a game, so get use to it.
If the game is all set damage, it takes out the fun.
How many games have u played where a mosnter does 10 damage? None, the monster will do something like 8-12 damage. This makes it a GAME, and more fun.

We should use random , but watch the range, i mean, i wb in .?go base a lot. and with random damage, some bullets do 150 to me, and some do like 800. Mabe make it like 350-700 that is more fair, yet not set.

Also, bursts shouldn't be 1 hit kill. That is a little to powerful.

Play as you wish, but random is MUCH more fun. Dont you love it when u have 400 energy, and a spider bullet comes, and u kno u r dead, but then, it only does 350 dmage! more fun

It might have been said before, but I'm sure some people cheat through the random damage code, particularly some squads which I will not name because I am paranoid by nature and could be wrong. Having fixed damage ensures this type of cheating, ie making every shoot that hits you have the least damage possible, will be more easily monitored and void.

I think that way to Lunchy, like u said tho mite just be paranoid, but it is noticable sometimes.

I start to think this set damage is a farce and this poll should be voided. Since there is still isues of lag. (I am not only talking about the earlier brought up problems with packets not picked up) You can never tell a hit is a hit on the other side of the line, and with greens picked up not seen by everybody there is still a matter of chance. So the matter of chance isn't really removed by setting fixed damage. Since people are playing this with different connections, resolutions and whatmore there will never be an equilibrium and setting the damage didn't change much. If people lag they still wont see the bullets hit them where other people see them being hit, or they wont even see the bullets. So I think it's wrong to state that set damage will fix things, and that best aim will win then.

It wont 100% fix it ur rite, but the chances grow enormously by setting the damage at a certain numer. There isnt a garentee that a jav bomb will kill someone when it is (in base or twjd). There are tons of eats by ppl who lag in JD/DD. Yet the bomb is fixed to kill on impact. Lag is part of the game u cant get rid of it, using Random usualy helps the laggers more then hurts them. So they eat a few shots big deal its better then doin 20 damage 1 shot then they turn and kill u. Atleast with fixed damage u can place 2 shots at em, if they eat 1 and get hit by the other it should kil em then.

I dunno, I seem to like the random damage. I like it when i have less than 300 energy and a spider bullet does somewhere close to only 100+ damage and I still live.

Then enemy expects you to die after 4 or so shots so it's nice when they start to turn away b/c they think you'll die for sure and then you live and punk them back killing them. Then you get spammed "WTH Die die die you laggot".

I love that. I'd miss that too much.

[Cig Smoke]

U have to remember it will happen to u also probably more then u do it to them.

[lunch3]

I also like fixed damage because it makes killing a science, no longer will I have to guess if my last shoot will kill them, with fixed I can keep track of all my enemies energy. This will lengthen the gap between the skilled and trigger happy spiders.

[JeBu]

so will they add fixed damage for twd and leagues too. this is very clear poll and i noticed from news it will be time race for twbd

[HellzNo!]

that's not entirely true, you cant always tell if you're last shot is going to kill them by keeping track of their damage, because lag will show a hit on your screen and a miss on the enemies. Which is why i don't think set damage will solve much. It still happens alot to me where i've hit a guy 4 times, but on his screen only two hit, and then he shoots me once and with all the energy i've wasted ill die with one hit. And the problem with that IMO is that that last bullet they shoot you with, the single one that actually hit you, is always going to be 520(or whatever its set at), so there isn't a hope in the world for you to stay alive if you've been shooting already. at least with random, theres a chance that you might not die. i think they should keep random, and just lower the range.

[Summa]

what are you people talking about, Fixed is way better b/c you dont have some newbs spraying off shots that do 1000 dmg.

[Sufficient]

i think they should keep random, and just lower the range.

If I remember correctly, someone said that it is not possible to limit random damage within a narrower range. It's either random damage, or no random damage ... there's no intermediate. Someone wanna verify this?

[NaiLed]

that's correct.
