Topic: De-mobbing and highways
Keep politics out of this thread. I will be reporting all violators and requesting deletion of their hard thoughts
De-mobbing is no where near as powerful as it was before the big re-balance patch with most bots able to be partial immune with 1 plate and others getting full immunity with it. L-demobs are (fixed) no LOS again and with the open areas of highways there is again a place for them to be used but with such a small effect its not worth it.
Highways are now spammed across every map and allow a HUGE speed bonus, This is the first time in Perp history where speed has played the biggest roll of some fights. Previously more guns or longer range or more e-war would decide a fight. The last few big fights were won almost on speed benefits alone.
My Discussion comes that with the new speed as king battlefield and de-mobbs not doing near as much effect to bigger targets, Would it be correct logic to think that when a de-mob lands the highway bonus gets removed form the targeted bot, decreasing there speed even more. Of course this would have no effect to units not using a highway.
Other possibilities that I thought of were add a targeting point to a speed rail, (like a switch) either with neut or dps the switch trips turnning off that section or multi sections of that speedrail. (This idea might be difficult for devs to implement.) and keep this one beta only.
To turn back on after dps would need either a rep bot for immediate repair other wise 1 hour auto regen. And of course energie x-fer for neuts or also a timer regen.
Discuss keep political ties out of it.
Tl:dr Demobs should remove highway bonus thoughts? L-demobs might have a purpose again.
