After playing guard the main problem that I noticed that made guards difficult to play is the bullet speed over long distances. When defending your own tower, the sniper rifle is well-balanced, but when trying to snipe people hitting other towers the distance allows them to easily dodge the projectile if they're looking. The dog dying also makes it extremely hard to defend your own tower while the other guards are busy defending their own. A semi-solution to most of these problems is having better player awareness. Current chat methods, although well made, can easily drown out team-related commands or discussions, preventing the guards from effectively working with one another. The fact that you pick guards help keep the guard quality good though. |

This is why we made it so when your bullet passes through the wood posts it splinters. These splinters shoot out of the exit point and are a fatal one hit kill projectile. You can effectively kill four people under a tower post with one bullet. --- Quote from: Conan on May 10, 2012, 07:57:57 PM ---The dog dying also makes it extremely hard to defend your own tower while the other guards are busy defending their own --- End quote --- Prisoners can only rush two towers at one time without spreading themselves too thin. That makes towers parallel completely free to help defend you. --- Quote from: Conan on May 10, 2012, 07:57:57 PM ---Current chat methods, although well made, can easily drown out team-related commands or discussions, preventing the guards from effectively working with one another. --- End quote --- I personally have not had a problem reading the chat but we will add a command for guards to toggle global discussion. --- Quote from: Conan on May 10, 2012, 07:57:57 PM ---guards still need buffing. --- End quote --- With the implentation of Mounted Machine Guns, guards for the first time have won more times than Prisoners in a hosting session. While I agree we need to tweak a few more things to be more in favor of the guards, I don't think it will be much. |

You can make the bullet go faster, if you are interested I'll see if I can obtain the script for you. |
