Thread: *COUGH* Grappling Hook?
Nifty idea but it will never happen.
I dont think it needs to happen, either. There's no feasible reason why we should be able to stop kiting beyond the 20m lunge2 range. The fact that its 20m, and that it has to be fudged that much (Go go Mr. Fantastic with his arms that are 60 feet long) to compensate for **edit**ty server-client latency issues is already ridiculous as it is.
Being highly susceptible to kiting is our big disadvantage that we need to be balanced towards other classes. If you take that out by giving us a way to pull people close (like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat... lol) to where we can beat them into submission is highly unbalancing... throw any semblance of balance between ranged and melee professions out the window if we get grappling hooks or anything similar to it.
Mash, sorry to say, but your story lacks togetherness with the plot, and could be written more smoothly, if you'ld stop writing in such lacking detaila, and using large words whenever the storyline becomes rough. The only case in which that works is in books of morals.
The action is roughly glued together, and has no real meaning, andwill creates questions in the reader's head, as parts of seem very rushed, as it sounds irregular.
Also, start to use commas, they're very useful.
Just some pointers if you wish to continue in writing.... nevermind these if you just write, becuase you feel so.
"As the powerful Teras Kasi Master cracks his knucklesandadmires his brand new set of Ubese armora Rifleman waits in the shadows of the Palace, waiting to strike his prey. The Rifleman brandishes his new, speed sliced, T21 rifle and takes aim at the unsuspecting Teras Kasi Master. The associates of the Rifleman all armed with pistols set up in the courtyard preparing for the strike. The Teras Kasi immediately senses danger and prepares to ride off into the Naboo wilderness. The conglomerate of assailants strike fiercely as the TKM mounts his spooked dewback. As he rides he sees the Rifleman taking pot shots from the doors of the cantina so the TKM signals his pet to move to the bank facing the cantina. The conspirators are confused and scramble to find the missing TKM. As this is going on the TKM's dewback rears its head as the TKM uses his newly found love, the Grappling Hook. As he shoots the hoooktowards the Rifleman,the Riflemanis stunned as he is being pulled vigorously toward the dewback. As this is happening the TKM's head is bleeding and he meets eyes with the struggling Rifleman. The Rifleman begs for mercy as the TKM jumps off his mount. The trigger meets the Rifleman's hand as the TKM gets his first hit in and the Riflemantries a last effort and hits the TKM but its too late...with his buddies still scampering around with Temporary Enemy Flags getting taking down slowly but surely, he wakes up in his hometown cloning center. "Good Fight", he mutters.
This is a RPG story based on the fact that with the addition of a Grappling Hook would be "non-nerfable". It was a fair, feasable, and realistic scenario. Post your thoughts, post your rants, but cry nerf and meet the power of my brass knucles.
