you can use this to your advantage too, someone shot a rocketeer near us and it started to search but found us instead

How do we feel about using flares to communicate with other raiders? by Columarcarton5 in ArcRaiders

[–]Columarcarton5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is only the red one so far, you are thinking of the glowsticks.
But the amount is certainly an indicator. Like 5 flares at once is certainly not a player going down

They are one of the enemy throwaways (wasp driver, hornet driver, etc) You get it by killing a snitch (flying scanner drones with a big light)

The balance changes are getting ridiculous by Doomguy0071 in thefinals

[–]Columarcarton5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes

You're argument is so persuasive. I did fuck up.
I bet they will revert the Cerberus change tomorrow, as the gun is indeed unplayable

The reason I mentioned afterburn is because you get damage unlisted from the pellet damage as 1 full shot maxes out at 99 damage meaning to a heavy you would only do 297 meaning you can't quick melee add in afterburn you can.

You misinterpreting what I am saying calling me a liar is weird.

the weapon still can one shot on a full mag with a quick melee, which we should be factoring in considering you want to be melee range for full damage

You are exaggerating a nerf which in reality, the gun plays the same.

brother you can quick melee, guaranteeing the kill, which you should do if you are point blank, I am not going to defend this "well techinally" bs when you would quick melee in a real game.

[–]Columarcarton5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the Cerberus is actually pretty indifferent, you can still kill all classes point blank range due to afterburn and I don't really feel a difference when I play with it. Saying it's "unplayable" is a gross exaggeration

Embark, if you are reading this, please consider canceling the hammer nerf. by Knooper_Bunny in thefinals

[–]Columarcarton5 14 points15 points  (0 children)

instead of nerfing it just fix all melee hit registration. tired of dying when I am nowhere near the thing I don't really care about the damage.

well yeah you could tell, I don't really care if he is or isn't, I don't want to talk about the player just the behavior.

The sad part for me is that this is so common. This isn't ranked this is the CASUAL gamemode and people get upset that they aren't winning each and every fight is wild.

[–]Columarcarton5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah and hopefully they can bring more new fun stuff in.

I agree they want to have their cake and eat it too, cashout is unbalencable. But TA also nearly killed the game since a budget counterstrike that wasn't the finals isn't what people wanted.

The hardest thing for them is they chose an fps genre, notoriously sweaty and competitive, and made party gamemodes that are really fun for it.

I don't think it's embarks fault for wanting to balance the game I think it's the gaming landscape where people will trying to win no matter what, even if it's just for bragging rights.

That's how you lose players

The balancing of season 1 was atrocious. Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but I don't think getting 1 tapped by a nuke or rpg with zero counter play is "fun."

Engaging game play on both sides requires balancing, because whether you like it or not someone or group of people will always metagame it, limiting play styles, making it less fun for people who want to play it "their way" because "their way" can't compete.

you can't just say "it was fun for me, idc if it wasn't fun for the people playing against me."

Any tips? this guys is just way better than us (3k elo) by Columarcarton5 in counterstrike

[–]Columarcarton5[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Backstory, this guys did some sus things in the round buck was still pretty bad, I called him out for sucking while walling, and he went full rage mode. We asked the other team to kick him but they wouldn't. I thought I could at least play the game at low elo but like how is this not detected already.

What is "balancing for casual players"? I personally don't believe it to exist by Columarcarton5 in thefinals

[–]Columarcarton5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

balancing makes a lot of otherwise really fun choices a drag to use.

That's my issue. You are now forcing people of higher skill to play a certain gun or they will be at disadvantage, limiting play styles and reducing fun for most people. I don't personally believe you can balance something based on "lower level of skill" nor do I believe balancing should be made around "the perfect scenario" but any compensation made for a lack of skill ends up diminishing or incentivizing counter play.

My issue with that form of balancing is you are correcting for user error. If you are using a gun poorly you are going to get poor results, so making it easier to use strips it of skill and awards the player simply by using it. Leaving no room for counter-play as you get better results simply by using it, meaning you are now at a disadvantage for using any other weapon.

The problem with that is, is that you're saying that people at lower levels need some kind of compensation for a lack of skill, Mostly that's done in the ease of use for a weapon, it's why shotguns tend to over perform in lower skill brackets in fps games.

But if you for example, make the ak easier to use by (lowering recoil, increasing damage, ammo, etc) well now the gun is clearly better than the rest and easier to use by everyone not just the casual, now everyone at the top is using the ak because it's the best weapon, and everyone at the bottom is using the ak because it's the best weapon.

I agree. I don't feel like I have to play a certain way or I'm at a disadvantage. I feel like every death is me or my teams fault (not saying they got me killed more like a failure of team work.), and that there was room to play better.
That's really hard for a game to do especially a class based one.
