/tg/Station 13

we just had a war ops round where a guy singlehandedly decimated the entire op team by yelling "play dead" behind a glass pane and making us all explode via our implants that activate on death

in my opinion this is some serious bullshit. when war ops is declared it comes down to "can a robust mining powergamer beat the boss in time to VoG everybody in to gibs". if it were up to me i'd remove the whole fucking thing but i already know that likely won't happen. at least make the colossus harder to defeat or something.

yes i'm salty.

yeah you need to be real good to beat the colossus. it takes a miniscule amount of effort if you're an experienced miner, of which we have plenty, and if you succeed you basically win against war ops.

"wear earmuffs without knowing if enemy even has VoG and lose any unit cohesion you had with your fellow ops by not being able to talk to them"

Can we just drop the pretense and admit this is only getting taken out because kevinz was in the ops team

deathgasp

Hahahahaha fucking destroyed

It's balanced because declaring war makes half the crew suicide anyway

> picks challenge mode
> got the challenge

what's the problem here?

Most issues get fixed or rebalanced because a dev experiences them, it's what gives them the cause to effect.

this is hilarious and will honestly only happen 1 in maybe a few thousand rounds, if ever again

it basically requires:
1. the ops to declare war rather than not
2. the ops to be slow as fuck despite declaring rush mode
3. robust miner(s) to be on the server
4. boss to spawn in relatively easy to get to locations
5. the miner(s) to find the specific boss in time
6. the miner(s) to actually defeat the boss and get the loot without dying
7. a miner to take the VoG to the medbay
8. another person existing that is competent and willing to do surgery
9. the surgery to be done in full and the miner back on his feet before the ops have arrived

the odds are tiny and this is a massive collision of bizarre chance not worthy of removing

This is so fucking funny. Top tier emergent gameplay. Jesus christ. Keep it unless it starts happening all the time

Essentially this. Keep it as is until someone decides to ruin the fun for everyone else by abusing it.

Now That's What I Call Emergent Gameplay: Volume 1

Stick a feature sticker on it and call it a day. Don't declare war unless you're prepared to get dunked by the powergamers.

Also in the future if something emergent happens don't make a thread calling for it to be removed unless you're prepared to see it happen constantly, you idiots.

To put it better, let me quote Star Trek and say

"You can do everything right and still lose, that isnt your fault, it is just life"

or another way to put it.

"Dying is part of the game"

The amount of shit required for this to happen was amazing, bravo to the miner and medical team.

it's hilarious

but as somebody i shared it with put it

that miner was probably repukan, and because it was probably repukan it's a shit feature and should be removed

Things like this are super funny once or twice and become extremely shit when it becomes meta.

Sounds like a legit issue completely safe reusable screen wide gibbing is pretty shitty.

Also pkp blaming war ops for not "rushing" declaring war forces you to wait out a timer you doofus supreme.

You can also condense this to: "The ops have to take a while to arrive and a miner has to defeat a Colossus and let the VoG be implanted."

We should buff megafauna, enev yog has it harder to beat.
