1.3* damage boost

[yackemflam]

The server had a damage boost for a while now, did you guys like it?

[Bombadil]

Third option: I didn't even notice it

[TechnoAlchemist]

yeah it wasn't noticable

[yackemflam]

There, a third option
'Didn't notice'

[Cheridan]

I noticed that my BSA instacrit people instead of doing 99 damage. Please fix.

[iamgoofball]

oh is this why the BSA crit me earlier

that explains some things

how long has this been running for, and why have coders not been notified? as this would explain why certain things are really overpowered right now

[Cheridan]

It also explains why I got instacrit by one powerfist punch the other day.

So yeah. I'd say it's generally not noticeable except in the case of things that were already extremely powerful (items which probably didnt need a boost to begin with?). A 5 damage crowbar gains 1.5 damage, an esword gains 9. But at 30 damage, a default esword will crit you in 4 hits. At 39 damage it takes 3. So damage-wise it doesn't have a huge impact.

The most powerful item is a ghost sword with a lot of ghosts orbiting the user. Its 75 damage would get boosted to 97.5.

What I DID notice, actually, was the increase in fucking KOs. Knockout chance on weapons aimed at head is literally the force, aimed at the chest it's force+10. 40% vs 49% to score a knockdown in the case of an esword IS significant since they're instawins.

Someone remove the knockdown on head shit, it does not make the game nor melee fights fun

[oranges]

It finally proves that ss13's combat is so unbalanced you can modify the forces by 30% and nobody even notices.

But if you modified stun times by 0.5 of a second everyone would notice!

[lzimann]

I disabled the 30% boost because I really don't see a point in doing this "test"

Random knockouts are not fair and not balanced.
Neither are knockdowns.

[Falamazeer]

If it were not for the blue space anomaly this woulda been fine. Never noticed the rest.

Guess we're all stupid for shitting on kors armor value change, if it does anything, this test proves that unless it's stuns KOs or knockdown, it's not a real fight.

we should fix that. remove tasers replace with lasers, keep the 30% damage, and make epi-pens a bit more awesome.

[ShadowDimentio]

If you're prepared to move to lethalsec we're ready to go with you, but only if YOU'RE the one to get in shit when people get shot by sec for resisting arrest and die.

[Luke Cox]

If literally nobody likes it we might as well remove it, although to be honest I didn't even notice.

[yackemflam]

Luke, most people didnt even NOTICED. That means we need to crank it up a notch.

[Luke Cox]

Luke, nobody liked it so we need to do it even more

Okay then

[DemonFiren]

Luke, nobody liked it so we need to do it even more

Okay then

Look at the poll results, dipshit.

[Falamazeer]

well, didn't notice is kinda skewing the results, If I could pick two I'd say I didn't notice, and I like it.

[Luke Cox]

Luke, nobody liked it so we need to do it even more

Okay then

Look at the poll results, dipshit.

Hornygranny tried this when he was sperging out with retarded tests, only with a more extreme damage boost. It was not well received.

[DemonFiren]

Well, that's most likely a) because HG, and b) because that was too much.
So elevate it little by little without the influence of the code cuck.

[ShadowDimentio]

What did this test even seek to accomplish?

It was not well received because that was bugged and fucked up with cloning and some other shit. This new one is working fine(except for admin BSA I think).

[onleavedontatme]

What did this test even seek to accomplish?

Nothing. The code for the config was only ever test merged last time, and when it got removed nobody ever bothered to remove the line from the config text file locally.

So when the code got finished and readded that line started mattering again, but nobody bothered changing it for a week and nobody even noticed.

[ShadowDimentio]

Perhaps in the future running tests that actually have a point would be nice.

[Luke Cox]

We'd be much better off buffing injuries themselves (see the Baymed thread). A flat damage boost is haphazard and ineffective. All it means is that it takes slightly shorter to beat the guy you just slipped into crit.
