The 20 watt bulb over my head just went off....


Rather than making the max range of the specials end at 16 meters, why not make it staggered? Make ideal be 16 meters, but gradually lessen in power to a max range of 32 meters? After 32 meters your are considered out of range, but at 32 meters you are doing minimal damage? or even 10 percent...Example, in PVP, at 16 meters you hit for 5000 dam...at 17 meters you it for 4687 dam, or whatever drop off in dam would be considered fair...


Or would this be considered to strong? I just dont think a flame special should end at 16 meters, when TKA can knock you down from 20 meters away...

Sure, we deserve alot more, but you know we arent going to get it. I am just saying the "sweetspot" should be 16 meters...If it went to full strength 32 meters it would be way too strong, IMHO

lmao


well..i just can see the dev response on this...


"That is very complicated coding, and we can't make it happen"


But despite the generic dev response...if these new flame changes are so dire and horrible...then why:


A) Why Are we not getting ANY input from devs concerning a complete overhaul of our class?


B) Why Have we not been first told of any of these changes OR also given a topic to voice our concerns and ideas..other than the IC general commando thread?


And lastly..i dont mean harm by this..but concerning our correspondant...I know he has real life stuff to do, and cant always be here...but why has he not publically attempting to get the devs to answer our questions?? I know very well he replies to some of our posts..but those get buried eventually, and so far he has made mere handful amounts of topics concerning our doubts and questions...i understand perfectly if he's busy in real life or is going on vacation...but shouldn't we have a cor that fights for us and attempts to get answers rather than being given?


I dont want to be harsh or sound mean..but we have been waiting nearly 3 months now..we have been put on the back burner for nearly 4 or more months now as well..yet we are one of TWO hybrid classes (hence i would say something important) with 3/4 of our class out of whack..yet we are one of the least paid attention to...many of us have been waiting 7 months now for some of these changes..im sticking no matter what, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

I dont see why the coding would be that difficult as something similar is already in place...It would seem to me, that it would be similar to the coding that makes weapons hit more / do more damage in their ideal ranges...But I am not a coder, so I dont really know. Just making an observation...


I had brought up the need for a different correspondent, but got flamed to hell and back for it...I came across this when I was doing a search for his posts:

Dedication, huh? I realize it was done halfheartedly, and maybe as a joke, but still......

Who the **edit** do you think you are? "Grow up and dont post about this agen"?? I will post about it when I feel like it and there isnt a **edit**ing thing you can do about it. I am not about to kiss the correspondents ass, and if there is someone who I think will do a better job, I will voice my opinion. You can either agree or disagree with it, I really dont care one way or another. So get the **edit** over yourself. Its got nothing to do with problems. Yeah, I am sorry he is going to the hospital. Sucks ass. But if you cant tell that the posting of the 10 questions thing, and then leaving to and making the players wait two to three weeks for answer that may or may not come (see TH's Top 5), was nothing more than throwing the dogs a bone to keep them occupied for a few days (maybe even weeks), then thats your problem. Even still, can you really blame him for wanting to get out of the Commando correspondent job??
