ET Server Suggestion Beginners2 rnade and grenade

[ExCaL]

With the high amount of bots on beg2 landmines /tripmines are almost useless,because the your teambots will walk over/through it right away and ignite it.

Panzerdamage is high enough if you ask me.

But what about that flamer damage? High damage but no SELFdamage at all,only if you point it straight towards the ground.

The difference between experienced players and the real beginning players is already big,but when theres adren involved it gets even bigger.A skilled player on adren slaughters all the beginning players(even if they found out how it works) .I think thats something that "scares:" the real starters away. Removing adren isnt popular among everybody offcourse,but a lot of maps are also completed because of adrenusers ,because of the high speed jumping/double jumping/running through a mine field without dying,running through a line of fire etc....In those situations i think adren has to much influence on the gameplay aswell.

Riflenade power a little higher maybe,but not as high as on nq1 plz  because youll get get a flamer and riflenade party also.

Airstrikes limited,i dont know how it goes at other servers but beg2 seems like an overkill with airstrikes and arty.

its the double jump that stops nade and rnade from being as effective, you can avoid or take less damage quite easily

No. In Jay1 and NQ1 the double jump is a lot higher than in Beg2 but still there is no escape from rnades. If rnader sees you in Jay1 or NQ1 you will be dead 90% of the time. Even if you try to jump away quickly, the splashdamage will still kill you. Nades just do more damage in those servers.

Topic was created to make some changed with nade and rnade and that's what I'd focus on right now.

I'm not a fan of big changes, especially if something is working good so all I would do is small increase nade dmg. Would be good to use rifle again but now it's too weak for me.

Also limit arti or number of field ops per team.. wouldn't say the games are that beginner friendly when even experienced players can barely get past the artillery spam. Beg2 isn't perfect but a few changes would be good for everyone making for a cleaner gameplay. Chaos is no good if you're a beginner.

For me it's other way around. Arty is one of things beginners can use to kill skilled players, who came there to slaughter the noobs. Restricting means to kill someone you can't stand a chance in gun-fight can make things worse vide: 'I came here and they are killing me everytime, it's not fun, I quit.'

Completely disagree! Arti spam is often caused by skilled players.

I am not sure about the rules for opening old topics - but I thought it was better to reply than to start a new one.

 

I was wondering about the outcome of this discussion - have there been any buffs to nade/rnades?

 

To be honest, I enjoy most of the server settings and can even agree with most things on explosives

- Arty/Airtsrikes are weak but frequent

- Panzer is weak, but with proper aim always a direct kill

 

But grenades / rnades? A direct hit doesn't kill. Cooking and timing grenades will get you killed, instead of kills. 

This really creates a huge disbalance - it contributes to making medics with 155 hp, proper aim and proper movement even more powerful.

Skill cannons like Drempa, Jakey or Razjee are SO hard to kill, a little more explosive damage could create a bit of balance, so the average & beginner players have a bit more chance to win a fight in an easy way 🙂.

 

Happy to hear your thoughts, thanks!

i agree with the 2 points, arty is spammed too much thus this drains player's FPS :') 

and about panzer it doesnt matter how much dmg it does i will still killself when u shoot me xD 

[Aardappel]

I would prefer to see landmine damage increased, players can now run through 15 landmines and not die. This makes that the landmines can be placed more strategically

I would like little faster riflenade charge that so you can spam them 😄 

with full power you can fire.... 3? then next one gets stuck waiting on power to charge up 🤔

 

Edit: Imo damage is ok 😁

[Kimos]

I think the rnade needs a little more damage. The charging time is indeed a little long too 😅

 

@Aardappel it needs 15 landmines to kill somebody. Thats why @Zampano plants 10000 mines 😂

And I can only kill myself with these 10000 mines.

It's cute to see people discussing and providing ideas for the server. While we're at it, are the headshots disabled for the MG42 still? 

[smadje]

I see no disagreements and an additional request to increase landmine damage. 

 

Is there a anything we can do to try out some new settings with higher explosive/landmine dmg? Earlier razjee suggested to try some things on a Sunday event?
