Pimp Weapons

[Theboy]

Whats the ingame poll for removing pimp guns say? (Assuming there is one anyway) If these stay there isnt much difference between here and mpf. What sets rencorner apart anymore? 

On a side note all these posts putting down the pimp repair gun are hilarious. You obviously dont get how important the range is. 

Besides since we were all talking about glitches recently, why are we allowing then in the form of op purchases that were never meant to be ingame?

Add Pimp Beacons that destroy everything on the map and cost 50k.

But that is my point, where does it end? I made that ludicrous statement because these weapons throw off the balance. Sure they are fun for a few moments but when you frustrated and rq because it's a have vs. have not kind of round you stop having fun. The dwindling count of players does not give liberty to ruin the balance and fun simultaneously.

my "pls" was meant like: oh yeah, please make this!!!

So it's settled: get rid of the pimp weapons.

Yeah, please remove them.

Don't go a way like MPF. I respect what they developed, but I am here for good old classic Renegade

We're not going to have everything one way. The only reason I ever started doing those polls(and stats) was to use a big fucking hammer (BFH) and end an argument here. How much complaining is done ingame after that first temporary day of pimps, do you know? I do, and that is the reason it stayed in (prices were doubled/tripled on the initial weapon prices).

I've always used the "take something away, give something back" mentality in RC. I can't just remove that now, do you have any idea of the shitstorm that will cause? Especially when people have fun with it. 

Atm I'm thinking about what you guys posted before about mixing some shit up(BTW you only have yourselves to blame for me tinkering) in that other topic about hax days and stuff. Could probably get something setup so we can mix in some vanilla(mostly) gameplay. 0.o

Currently we have 4 different styles of gameplay:
Marathon  mode + non-rxd
Aow mode + rxd
Marathon mode + rxd
Aow mode + non-rxd

8 out of the 25 maps in rotation are rxd maps, that's only 32%. This last rotation is a bit wonky with rxd map placement, but that's only because Manny/mass had to redo it a couple of times to include Under and another. Normally we spread them out and still get the base def /non-base def mixed in. 

 

    "Field_RxD",
    "Complex",
    "Bio",
    "Mesa",
    "Volcano_RxD",
    "Sand_RxD",
    "Under_RxD",
    "Walls_Flying",
    "Canyon",
    "City_Flying",
    "Uphill_RxD",
    "Islands_RxD",
    "Creekdale_Flying",
    "Complex",
    "BunkersTS",
    "Field",
    "Tomb",
    "Under",
    "Walls",
    "Hourglass",
    "Volcano",
    "Canyon_RxD",
    "Glacier_Flying",
    "Snow_RxD",
    "Islands"

There is also a very small percentage of aow... Might want to mention that too. 

[shaitan]

Thought about upping it after seeing the gamemode.txt a few hours ago...but if you want to get really technical, aow vs mara poll would favor mara. The last four months, if you guys have noticed, people are bitching more and more about timed maps(which I think was why it was set to mara abit more back then(mostly it doesn't even matter really...maps are still being ended under 1 hour)). It's juggling, you know.

Tbh, I have never seen a single pimp weapon change the balance of power on a map. They are definitely good, but theyre not overwhelmingly superior. Even a pimp rocket holding down tunnels on Sand can be overcome without maximum effort.

Also something to think about: there are far more regular people that play on our server than there are people that use our forums. There is a very large number of people that spam complaints ingame and will never make a post.

[ehh]

was the splash nerfed on the pimp guns? last time i played sand someone was just spamming it, i'd have lost at least 100-150 hp before i even saw him lol

[masscarriers]

[Seen]  ehh was last seen on this server  3 months  1 weeks  4 days  6 hours  18 minutes and 58 seconds ago

pimp rocket on sands is probably the worst case you'd use a pimp weapon, but it is hard to counter tbh.

[ehh]

well has it been nerfed?

[BeerBaron]

Dont think so. Even so, just live through the first 2 or 4 pimp rockets and bum rush the guy with a chaingun or a chem sprayer.

[ehh]

then get sniped by the guy next to the pimp guy ;d

While using your pimp repair tool, you have to hold down fire and build up a charge for those 3-5 seconds before it fires. You can not begin the charge from inside a tank. You have to leave your tank and remain outside that entire time.

wrong actually. you can begin the charge outside your tank, go in your tank and wait for it to charge, and jump out to rep yourself. I was using this method in a mammy and was basically invincible

[Goztow]

That does seem like a valid reason to remove it entirely to me. Plz don't turn rc into mpf.

Why are people bitching about time don't we have a vote to add more time in game.

Because it's you, here's a sensible answer.

There are 2 main game modes in Renegade. AOW and Marathon. AOW is timed. Marathon is not.

Basically, AOW is the Mode of Champions. Marathon the Mode of Cunts.

AOW takes more skill and Teamwork than Marathon which is why 80% of Rencorner players complain about timed maps.

If you haven't worked it out for yourself yet, Players complain about timed maps because they are fucking useless at playing Renegade.

Ignore shaitan said quote it was supposed to be StJohn quote but forums are acting up.What is because it's you supposed to even mean? I prefer timed maps. If a map takes 2 hours I usually quit. And any one who plays knows the deference between AOW and Marathon. My point was if a marathon lover is in a good timed map and its about to run out of time they can simply vote for more time.

[masscarriers]

On defense of mara maps, I wouldn't join up an intense AOW game just for a few minutes if it screws up teams or if I can't mess around just because I feel like it. I'm playing to wind down after an heavy day often times, not to get sucked inside it for hours.

Mara, no problem there. I don't feel bad quitting at any time and sniping in tuns for a few minutes, RQing and doing chem buggies.

an example. watch how many times my tank should have died but my pimp rep saved it
