Please remove Emitter Maze away mission

Post by Zilenan91 » #152598

It's just not fun and it's too easy and tedious. You get shittons of loot at no effort and the process of getting it is boring as fuck.

i like it because as a traitor if it's that away mission i can huck random people into the gateway who have no space suits or anything and it's like killing them but faster and silent
i play Lauser McMauligan. clown name is Cold-Ass Honkey
i have three other top secret characters as well.
tell the best admin how good he is

That's kinda nice, but as an away mission, this mission makes me not want to even go through the Gateway at all because :
A: you can't back out
B: people might've taken the spacesuits before you so you get fucked
C: it's retardedly easy if you have tools, which means that it horribly unbalances the station because of all the extra guns

most of the players find it to too difficult and end up dying, unretrievable
not very good gameplay

It's a death sentence if you're bad at it and game-breaking if you come prepared.

And in this case being prepared is spaceworthiness, a screwdriver, and a crowbar.

I like it, it serves to give antags like nuke ops a time limit to get loud, before the crew gets all that syndie looty. Oh, you took 30 minutes to reach the station? Enjoy assistants wielding machine guns, e-swords and e-shields

I'm surprised you guys are still playing with this.

I made this as a joke in response to Nodrak's "Teleport directly into a singulo" away mission.

Can anyone please remove it because it's awful. We need to also seriously look at Wild West and Space Battle too because neither of those are very good either, even though they're somewhat fun and playable.

Make it so it can't be cheesed by breaking into the emitter area, you can back out, and the laser area isn't spaced and it'd be cool. Also incorporate reflectors for MEMES

A lot of missions are made more easily cheesable/way less dangerous if you can just back out whenever you want.

I feel like everyone who tries to make an away mission should take a good look at Wizard Academy. That shit is so deadly that even an entire crew would fail against it. It also has decent loot, and most importantly, can't be cheesed too badly because of the wizard teacher who can put a stop to that.

Emitter Maze does none of these things. It's easily cheesable, not very hard, and for beating it you get a retarded amount of gear and even more damning, explosive implants so even if an antagonist kills you you can give them a big ol' fuck you and blow up ALL of your gear.

I like the mission solely because it's incredibly versatile for badminning.

We could probably keep this in the code but disabled in normal rotation so that admins can enable it and do stupid stuff if they want to.

I guess at that point we may as well make new away maps. Keep it in the code, for nostalgia reasons in the future tho.

There's literally only one away mission that ever requires a fire suit or space suit, emitter maze. Every other one you'll immediately drop it because it's slowing you down.

There are spacesuits on the other side of the maze, next to where you spawn. The problem is, though, that you can't actually get through the maze safely (note that you have to pick up the multitool/crowbar/screwdriver if you don't have them already) whilst wearing a bulky spacesuit.

It's far easier to remove something that is universally disliked rather than put in a ton of effort to fix it. If anyone wants to attempt this in the future they could always just use it as a template or something.
