Summon mechs is dumb

Post by NikNakFlak » #7854

Can you guys stop merging anything and everything that is pull requested? I understand not denying content based on code, but stop adding stupid, broken and unbalanced shit please. This spell is awful, and stupid. I would personally like to see it reverted. I am not the only one who thinks this, quite a few people agree with me.

Renamed your baby and some of it's internal organs (lists)
Added some new organs too (mech and melee lists)
and the bones to make them work (switches)

I'm told the original name was a Reference, References are fine, but not for a Define semi important Spell-proc.
Also reworked the proc to use magic strings instead of numbers, makes more sense when looking at it without knowing it's function
magic_summon("guns") clearly summons some guns, rightandwrong(1) the heck is that?



Anyways, The Motivation for it came from Paprika's "Summon Melee" thread, which you liked, Paprika also mentioned (although it didn't get discussed like, at all) Summon Mechs so I got code done for both and put it up for PR.

The problem for me is that you can't do much magic to a person in a mech. It makes no sense for a wizard to give people something that renders him almost completely irrelevant.

Also people can jack stuff when its in people's hands, but you can't really "steal" a mech. Guns/Magic add danger, but the smuck is still just as vulnerable to magic as ever. Also since a mech makes what's in people's hands useless, it renders all the other summon spells mostly pointless if it's used in conjunction.

Wizards have an EMP spell but I agree mechs adding anonymity + stunproof + etc is kind of dumb.

STILL, I think summon mechs should still exist as an admin button if we remove it from wizard.

The only reason a wizard would use Summon _____ spells is to sow chaos with random people becoming antags with overpowered weapons. If he tries to actually fight after summoning things it's his own damn fault for being an idiot.

I mean hell, you can get an egun with a ridiculously high cell that can destroy walls/machines/pretty much anything else, a 50-shot revolver, a fucking bolter, a hammer that stuns everyone within a certain radius, a hammer that pulls things closer, an axe that knocks people into crit instantly, and a sword that grants complete immunity to energy weapons.

And if you can get the drop on those people you can take them for yourself to become even more overpowered.

People seem to miss that aspect of summon spells a lot.

Because people who use summon spells aren't playing wizard just to win, they probably just want to make the round fun.
If they want to steal guns or whatever, it's not hard for them to do so.

Summoning Mechs seems really, what's the word, unrealistic (if such a term exists for SS13).

Summon Magic was fine, and you could argue Summon Guns was doable. But summoning dozens of mech. Eh.

It just seems a bit too much really.

4x Guns at 15m intervals, 1x orb after the first summon. Wait 10m on the first summon guns, for everyone to set up and settle in. Remember to name yourself something FUN!, remember that your station headset works in the wizard den. Remember that your scroll of teleport has five charges.

This spell is complete shit. Phazons and maurders are adminspawn only in regular game and its rare and hard to get one because of how 'potentially dangerous to gameplay' they can be. So robotics and research have to work asses off to try and get one every once in a blue moon which is fine because we earned it like an achievement. But its hard to convince gods/admins to give you one. Yet some dumbfuck writes a spell and random generation gives 10 phazons out to greytiders and oddys/ripleys to robotics. If you want to justify that its now its safe enough for chaos but not dangerous enough for ruining gameplay so you can spawn them out for this spell to randoms then you need to make them more accesible to robotics and research.

>too dangerous for Robotics and science department.
>Not too dangerous for assistants

And of course expect adminhelps/nonantag kills out the ass with this fun spell.

I think it should be reeled in but not removed, phazons are meant to be game breakingly good and using the 'pulse rifle/l6' arguement is a little stupid considering you can take down a pulse rifle with a taser if you land your shot, same with the L6.

Remove the phazon from the list, the marauder can be taken down by gygaxes easy.

How very fair of you! Is it really so hard as to argue/give feedback without being a piece of shit?
Spell is pretty insulting figured I'd return the favor. Also this was right after the round ended so I was pretty pissed still. I'm sure its an intelligent fuck.

A little better, and with a round end piss off hanging over you I can understand your sentiment.
And with you not liking the spell is why the feedback section exists, and why were here.

This is a good thread

Also we should just remove the phazon while she is bitching because she got an ody I do think it's a little overpowered, moreso than the 'fun' kind of overpowered like the death ripley

It's "insulting" that a wizard can summon things that the crew can already make with hard work and joint-effort between departments?
I guess Summon Guns was never a thing, then.

I didn't take a personal offense. Re readd. Pap don't ask for feedback on forum in dead chat when everyone tells you the spell is shit if you are just going to throw personal insults out at anyone who didn't like your spell.

I said to make a poll and I also said I didn't even add the spell, it was a joke idea that someone else decided to add, so please stop being ignorant for the sake of making me look like an asshole you're not good at it

OK, so first of all, you started it, so if you don't want people insulting you, don't be a prick and insult coders for making something you don't like. Especially coders who AREN'T EVEN INVOLVED with the code that you're so angry about.
If you have a real concern with something, you give feedback. You don't insult random people and get mad when they insult you back.
Additionally, you never addressed my original point, concerning the parts of your post that weren't blindly bashing on people. Summon Guns has existed for a long time, and yet you don't seem to care that people can immediately get guns that usually require RnD for free? Why does it even matter for either spell, when the point of the spell is that you can get items which are normally very hard or impossible to attain? The spells exist for fun, and they are fun. Complaining that people can get mechs without hard work and yet not caring at all about summon guns is a double standard.

i really do fail to see how summon mechs is any more OP than summon magic or guns
the phazon is the only real issue IMO
all the other mechs are.. mechs, so the standard is set higher
when everyone is OP, nobody is OP
