Thread: Combat Proposal Sept 18, 2003
Carbineers:
Problem #1:
HAM costs are too high for carbine special moves. This is actually a problem with the carbine weapons.
Solution #1:
Once we implement the speed limiters for all classes, I would like to reduce the HAM costs. This could be done by modifying new weapons, the actual move data, or a combination. I’m not sure which is the best approach, but I’m leaning towards modification of the moves as it will be less disruptive for existing weapons.
Problem #2:
Legshot 2 is viewed as being identical to Legshot 3.
Solution #2:
Legshot 3 is actually a cone attack. It does 2.5X damage as opposed to 2.0X damage, and should hit targets in the cone instead of a single target. There is potentially a bug in the cone calculations that is preventing this from happening. I will investigate.
Problem #3:
Carbines seem to lack class definition.
Solution #3:
I’d like to see carbines as halfway between the slow speed/high damage of riflemen and lower damage/higher speed of pistoleers. They should have a wider variety of area/high rate of fire attacks, but less "finesse" attacks. Attacks like scattershot will be improved to the point that they are viable alternatives to the focused attacks such as bodyShot.
