DAlighieri January 16, 2018 Share DAlighieri Member January 16, 2018 "Ledging" someone with a smoker, or even just causing "fall damage" could have increased points value. Those are both often very helpful things to do for the team, as infected, so it makes sense to reward good gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneypumpkin January 16, 2018 Share looneypumpkin GC Board Member January 16, 2018 Maybe some sort of smoker team work (when pulled ends with a charger taking it over for a death charge.) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpenceTheChef January 18, 2018 Share SpenceTheChef Member January 18, 2018 I think a simple thing that would boost smoker is awarding points when you cause the person you smoked to be dropped to their death. As it is, you lose out on the 5 points for the kill, and any other bonus points for killing an admin or whatever. Additionally, you should get points if you leave someone hanging off a ledge with your smoke. that's almost as good as an incap, as they either need to waste points, or wait for teammate assistance. Granting points for leaving someone hanging would also be a buff to Jockey points as well, which I think is the more common class to do it with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan January 18, 2018 Author Share JackieChan GC Alumni January 18, 2018 I can attempt to do the same thing with how I had finally made Death Charges consistent with awarding points. I'll have to find the free time to do it...since I don't have much anymore these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine what you could have to do that would be more important than spending large amounts of unpaid time doing work for the benefit of other people. Get to it!!

san` January 22, 2018 Share san` GC Alumni January 22, 2018 Taking a survivor (with full health) for a jockey walk and incapping them can easily give you 20pts This is far from average though. I'd be willing to bet that it's far below average as far as jockey rides are concerned. Also, thanks for the wonderful contribution Johnny. Can always count on you.

SpenceTheChef January 22, 2018 Share SpenceTheChef Member January 22, 2018 I wouldn't say that the points delivered for a Jockey ride are the problem; an attentive team will shut that down pretty quickly. The issue, at least from observing gameplay this week, is the damage that rocket jockey delivers. It hits like a truck, and I believe it's been stated that the damage for landing a RJ is more than a max Hunter pounce. And I totally love the rocket jockey plays, but I can see why people are unhappy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same damage, max pounce damage is 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPG1770 January 23, 2018 Share MPG1770 GC Server Admin January 23, 2018 Rocket Jockey is tried and tested - people love or loathe it - maybe a vote here is required whether it should stay or not? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneypumpkin January 23, 2018 Share looneypumpkin GC Board Member January 23, 2018 I'm getting better at it again so I vote to keep it. I think the 4pts is good. The main problem I hear from most is you don't hear the jockey before it's on you. To those people I say to watch the skies like you should be doing for boomers, hunters and chargers anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpenceTheChef January 23, 2018 Share SpenceTheChef Member January 23, 2018 Or perhaps a compromise. Maybe drop the damage scale for landing the rocket. Where as hunter requires some skill and prep to hit that max pounce with the wall/ceiling jumps, max jockey damage currently just means you ghost jump in and drop on someone. Maybe the max drops, so that you can still hit some nice damage, but not a 1/4 health drop just for falling down. Rocket Jockey is great, and I'm grateful we have it. I just suppose it could be a bit more balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, you will now get the amounts of points you got when scratching bots for actual human players now. Scratching bots gives even less. This can be adjusted if necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
