Criticals in doctrines

« on: August 02, 2012, 03:41:49 pm »

Why/why not? As an example;

Storm Tactics top T4 for SE - Instead of the accuracy buffs (or in addition to), G43s gain the Luger's critical tables for the rare potential of 'headshots'.

OR;

Locked and Loaded bottom T4 for Inf - Engineer/Croc flamethrowers gain crit chances at yellow and green health vs all infantry armor types.

I want to ensure we have a 100% decision on the process before we do the wipe.
If not, then I wipe, then someone gets something they shouldn't, then it gets abused, then the shit hits the fan and then I ban shab.

interesting idea but there'd be all sorts of rages like "wtf, how'd i lose my whole squad to those 4 squads in one volley"

"I want proof!"
"I have proof!"
"Whatever, I'm still right"

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

This would be utter anathema from a gameplay perspective due to the attrition-focused environment.

I like it but I would want it to be something like a 5% chance of a headshot at long range. Not something ridiculous where everything melts instantly.

I don't like this idea.

It's better we not leave things to chance, but rather flat improvements.

No, just no, sounds good, but too many games would be lost due to "luck"

I go ballistic when stray bullets missing grens manage to crit shot my invisible sniper, and while this isnt the same, would be lame to have say 3/4 of a storm squad drop dead in 5 seconds because they got unlucky.
