As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
It’s one of the worst game modes in my opinion and it extends in already dead shift longer than what it has to. At least cult has the common curiosity to blow the station up after a minute post win

Re: As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
+1. I play CMO mostly and enjoy the whole healing department stuff. Rev rounds are either me dying early on or spending most of the round turtling in the brig, either way its a really boring experience. Personal POV.
Even more generally though, from an observer perspective, revs have high death tolls mostly being round removal and a tendancy to drag on. If any third antagonist of power but without a round goal turns up (swarmers, spiders and ofc aliens) then the round has a good chance of softlocking as the crew will fail to co-operate and counter the threat. There is no way of forcing the mode to conclusion short of admin intervention, and as the crew numbers dwindle more and more it really slows down often and until key figures die, nothing can progress the game state.
Cult feels "similar" conceptually in that its an undercover conversion that turns into TDM but the progression of eyes/halos drives some balance point (numbers wise) into the way it plays out, and both teams have a way of forcing a conclusion (summon nar'sie, call shuttle).

Re: As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
when revs round is "won"
teh round should restart, everyoen who was on the losing side should start as prisoner, and everyone who was antag when teh round was interrupted should get their antag again.

Re: As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
i like revs, especially once transitions from surprise attacks into pitched battles
also getting mobbed after stumbling into REVCON 2560 is funny to me even if i get roundremoved

Fluff it that a parallel revolution is happening on centcomm, spawn a few dead interns on the shuttle bay, you are joining your comrades in the glorious struggle at central command. Fixed

Re: As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
people have been complaining about game modes for fucking years. stop complaining about it. give up your body to ghosts, go to another server, commit fucking suicide with your character. stop fucking whining
i regularly commit suicide during war ops because 99 percent of the time I hate playing it and would much rather watch
people complained so much about shit on hippie that they straight up removed blob, nerfed wizards hard and made it so lings couldnt revive themselves
news flash it made an already dying server even worse off
the only game mode that is garbage is families and goof is still working on that

Re: As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
revs is one of the best team deathmatch gamemodes
you guys are just big babies
also post-revs my beloved <3 i think it's totally fine that the shuttle is instantly called when revs win. if there's anything i would change about post-revs is that it should just force a shuttle call. it's hilarious as the revs look around and realize they've completely wrecked everything

Re: As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
Revs is my favorite gamemode despite the cringe change they made to it.
The rationale was that it was anticlimactic for the round to just end. But it's even more anticlimactic for the round to drag on for 30 min with no clear winner/loser on roundend text. Post-revs can be fun though - shuttle should probably be auto-called to arrive in 10 after the last head dies so revs can enjoy the victory a little bit.WineAllWine wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 10:00 am everyone thinks a revs win should end the round except for mothblocks.

Having the round end with victory is, in fact, very climactic

Re: As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
I don't understand why they changed it so after you're flashed you have to lie down for the rest of your life unless you toggle rest and then you don't. Revs used to be fun and good but it seems very difficult to get off the ground these days and I think a lack of revheads (used to be three, now when you get midround sleeper or whatever the fuck it's just you) has to do with it. That and the obvious tell of having everybody you flash spending three years in a coma unless a mob spends a day and a half shaking them up. This is probably a bug but the fact it's been around for so long without being fixed has cemented it as an inevitable part of revs.

Autocall's good because it lets the other antags have a short while to finish what they're doing.

Re: As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
Do you want it to be removed because we got policy threads by people complaining it ruined their antag round because they spent 20 minutes prepping something and then the rev ended? Other than Cult or Nooki, we don't really have anything that just INSTANTLY ends the round, and they do that because the round literally can't continue.GamerAndYeahMick wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 2:16 pmThey shouldn't have a right to do whatever they're doing just end the round who wants a more boring game so John antag can slip the janitor in maints for an extra 15 minutes yawnCMDR_Gungnir wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 2:21 amAutocall's good because it lets the other antags have a short while to finish what they're doing.

Re: As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
To be fair it's not like that happened before (policy threads about Revolution and dynamic, let alone ones that would be entertained legitimately), it was just a very strong motivation.

Re: As a certified player™️, I despise Revs
I can kinda understand that. That aside, I'm still kinda leaning on the like, "is Revs Win really something as cataclysmic as Nookis and Cult?" for the sake of just ending round. Iunno. I see strong arguments either way, and don't really have a side.GamerAndYeahMick wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 12:36 pmI just dont think anyone is entitled to antag, and people who have "their" round "ruined" can just deal with it imo rule 10 yadayadayadayada, it was observably more enjoyable for me whenever it just faded to black like the sopranosCMDR_Gungnir wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 9:01 amDo you want it to be removed because we got policy threads by people complaining it ruined their antag round because they spent 20 minutes prepping something and then the rev ended?
