Trolling post:
Official ways to lock firing exists, it's called a "Stapler on a Keyboard."


Real Post:
I'm pretty sure somebody is trying to add a firing lock into C2

yeah, i know how to lock it, but that is subject to spontaneous failure, etc. I would like a simple "toggle on/off" button.

And getting the game to PILOT YOUR SHIP FOR YOU is not only ridiculous, it's ridiculously lazy.

Jeff responded favorably to this suggestion, so we'll just have to wait until the C2 beta is released.

i think allowing people to MC in the first place was a bad idea. but SS needed the money more desperately at that point. ill still fund my other accounts because i use them for more then just MC fighting. but that's my choice.

If you cant MC with this new code you just are not skilled enough to be called an Uber. iv seen people MC and get knocked around..they are less efficient..but they manage it. MC has allowed people to solo stuff they shouldn't anyway.. the game has some places that are meant to be done with other people not solo.

MCing is still not soloing.

MCing is solo if you consider how many actual people are controlling the in game characters, which is what saran was saying. It's not soloing in terms of characters though.

Saran I think you are missing the point.

SS has developed certain classes that require you to mc if you want to use them solo, specifically Berserkers.

I simply dont care whether I am uber of not I just want to enjoy playing the game.

Currently I am taking a break (along with the bulk of my former team, accounts-wise, if not in actual players.)
This issue was a contributing factor.
I am NOT impressed with the comments made by a certain arrogent developer.
It is pretty clear that the knock-back code has not been well recieved by the player base and any sensible, reponsive business would remove it and would not allow an employee to abuse the customers and tell them to go elsewhere.
Sack him Jeff

I presume this is to me?

Just for reference, the comments I made were in response to:




As made clear by various threads, it isn't "the player base" who don't like the change, but portions of it. I have tried to suggest some in game mitigation of the effects for those who dislike concussions, and argued very hard for it; Jeff spent time (which could be better used on C2) painstakingly going over the entire code to try to keep people happy. To put these new items in will require altering a balance sheet and adding classes of effects to items (tricky).

However, I'm afraid, at some point, you have to draw a line and say: "Ok, we've gone as far as we can to address your concerns, if you're not happy, then so be it".


On a related note, the Lion Maul tweak change needs work - Ace in a Pill mark XXX was not the intended effect we were looking for

heh I thought it was hilarious.... until we tried it against zebras..... spin spin spin...

AEM is female yes? not male? :O. On reading just one of Bonecrusher's post, why do i have a mental picture of a monkey jumping around in my head :/

This is believed to be correct.

Yeah... Bonecrusher is going a lil' over the top. :/

Aurora isn't an employee, she's a volunteer.

and @Aurora, gunner doesn't need a beef due to this, they still pump out insane DPS with missiles as i saw earlier today.

Shhhh!

I want to be able to join Oly runs in my gunner because at the moment gunner isn't suited to do oly!

Four buildable capacitors will be present post-patch.

HAL has added a new feature which directly reduces concussion effects - the items reduce it from 20 - 80%.
