Bottom post of the previous page:

Just make the target slip when bola'd. It only has to be one short slip, bit it makes sense and is a sufficient notifier of a successful bola attempt.

was considered but it would be way too good

How about a 1 tick stun for bolas so it's like a disarm as well

i tried Weaken(1), but i think depending on the life ticker or whatever the stun can range from almost nothing to a full one-two seconds

besides, even with the shortest stun imaginable, that would still be a guaranteed ranged disarm that ignores things like shields. it would ruin nuke ops in particular (unless i balanced them around shield RNG which is shit and i have no interest in doing).

just trust me on this, they don't need a stun

Well I mean we already have thrown spears which are rape machines so why not go all-out and make bolas the ranged weapon of choice for revs and tiders alike?


Though yeah I guess it would be a problem for ops in particular.

Do a health check and only weaken mobs weaker then half health. That's what I did for chair smashing.

or we could just not

I agree with penguin. The better they are the more likely a coder will redtext to one and grudgecode its removal.

Then why can't we grudgecode the bad coder out of existence?

God forbid that we have nice things.

Because that's not the way this server works and it never was.

>bola stun
>nice thing
i have said already, as the guy that created them, that it is not a nice thing

maybe i'll make like a reinforced bola that can trip but idk how i would make that available to the crew, maybe put ninja stars/advanced bolas into the same box and give them to traitors as the throwing weapons bundle?

*cough* Science laser bolas *cough*

Science power creep go away

Yeah I meant that when I threw them I wanted to know when I had hit the guy I was throwing them at.

i hear if you close your eyes real tight, spin around, and say this three times, you will hear the voice of #coderbus whisper "fuck off".
