Topic: disallow demob use while shield up

Suggestion:
Don't allow a player to activate their demob while their shield is up.  Same mechanic as not being able to shoot with the shield up.

Should spice things up a bit.

There's an argument for making that all ewar really. Would be a more effective ewar nerf than this dumb *** skill everyone is going to get to ten.

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

This would break the game.

Ewar would die in 1... oh 2.. shots.  Always.

I think it would make pvp more fun.

It would effectively make 4 bots usless in a game where they already are a second choice 80% of the time. Lets just let kains one shot every light in the game.

That was at 600+ m one shot. 90m plasma in cargo. Shield woulda saved him.
Now imagine what will happen when all the lights put shields down at 215 meters or less to demob....:rolleyes:

Re: disallow demob use while shield up

I am liking the sound of that big_smile

EDIT: Driving an mk1 camelion with an evasive instead of a shield is actually a lot of fun but a shield is the sensible thing to fit.

Not really, it's just like a tyrannos and you would have to be awake when using ewar. I think the troiar would struggle but everything else would be fine.

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

Re: disallow demob use while shield up

Even with the troiar, you would just have to use cover more and sometimes let go of your target, sound more fun / less dual-boxable to me.

Was thinking more about nuts than demob really

Re: disallow demob use while shield up

Most guys in shielded light EWAR also weight themselves down with ECM/Supp/Neuts/Drainers/Double-D's/Guns and are already self-nerfed IMHO as they travel too slow..

The guys you should be careful with do not fit a shield and do not care about getting popped as it is all part of their role and motivation.

The guys who are too lazy to use terrain, cover and LOS are also too slow and/or stupid to be a threat tbh, shielded or not.

Minus one.

There has been an awakening... Have you felt it?

Re: disallow demob use while shield up

a good suggestion is to try how it would work. this is a great chance for small group (or 1-2 agent) so as not to lose his robot instantly

Just @ Game

Re: disallow demob use while shield up

Mmmm, I kind of like this suggestion of all ewar. It sure would add some flavor to the battlefield and make ewar pilots choose between tanking and doing their job. Instead of sitting at max range going "lololoolo suppressed. lolololol jammed ladida". With the change they'll have something else to think about and do.

"Oh ***! I'm getting shot at, better throw up the shield and move to the back!" Meanwhile the battlefield is remaining fluid and changing instead of just throwing 2 supressors on someone and having that bot on follow.

I can see why this wouldn't attracted agreement from cir and co. though as essentially it would amount to a ewar follow bot nerf, but it makes perfect sense to me as ewar is too powerful as it is, and ewar follow bots didn't share the same amount of nerfing as RR did with the follow bot nerf.

I suppose if we change no ewar going thru the shield though the next thing to think about is RR thru shield as well, so fix that as well while you're at it.

No more completely immune to heavy castel mk2's is a plus too.

Sounds like a good idea to me.
