I troll the forums cause im waiting for Client 2 to come out...

I PLAYED it because I LIKED it and have several very good friends playing SS. However I have just informed JeffL to cancel my subscription and refund my payment. The addition of Concussions is just too aggravating and life is just too short.

Option #1:

PM Jeff asking to test said items with new tags to see effects

Option #2:

/ragequit



I guess life is too short for drama.

Just 4 pieces of crappy gear that still fucks over the players. Either have a useful Cap equipped or a piece of shit to mitigate a fucked effect.

Take your caps and shove them where the sun don't shine!

Hmm.

So glad I spent tonight making these...

I'm finding it more and more difficult to believe you're actually 65+

All the people that age that I know of wouldn't be doing stuff like this...

if a gust of wind knocks you over in real life are you going to rage quit that to?

That's the new code: reduces concussions by 80% (1.0 = 100%). It also helps snipers with knock-back as well, so I can be talked into reducing the +vis angle. I hope that we can all see that a loss of (*gasp*) 850 shields for 80% reduction in concussion effect was rather generous (I thought) - and yes, they're being added (or the BPs to build are) post-this-patch-when-Jey-finds-bugs-causing-mayhem.


Anyhow /derail over.

Forget Boney, hes just a tool.
I was arguing as much as him, and this has really satisfied me.
I wont be using any of the items other then maybe on my Shm, but its still great to have options.

The primary problem with built items is that they cant be modded. Many people have items with mods that are simply crucial to their setups.

I'm still waiting on a solution to this problem, from years ago, actually

Capacitors are the least worst choice, if that makes sense. Plus, you still get a +shield bonus and they are easily swappable. i.e. One hotkey tap 1 second before a boss dies.. and *poof* less knock-back. Or #1 hotkey new -concussion capacitor, #2 hotkey lion maul tweak -> kill AI -> #1 other capacitor back when tweak ends.

See? If anyone actually thought about this, rather than /ragequitting, they'd see that we think about these things. MC'd ShMs - equip, forget. Active chars - hotkey, switch in/out as combat progressed.

We're not idiots, or at least only 50% idiots.


[edited to include Lion Maul tweak example in case no-one remembered it but me]

mmm, good point. Of course, that entails carrying around a good amount of extra hull space that could just be used for a single space anchor for the boss exploding

I think people would want to use these things more for everyday use, and then deal with the knockback in exchange for increased performance in ubers.
