Imploding Electo

[Qantourisc]

I had an idea today...
Since electro is already suchs a weird weapon ... why don't we let it implode ? (instead of pushing away target from the explosion it attracts them toward the explosion)

It's easy to change this using g_balance_electro_*_force -400.
Like the idea or not ? could be fun ... Question is how it will turn out in gameplay ... should be intresting ? no ?

Hmm on the crylink this gives some VERRY intresting restults ... makes it actually somewhat usable ... (unless you dont want the enemy close to you

It would be kinda cool, especially if multiple players could be forced towards it and have damage caused just by them hitting each other.

I think the electro is already a very good weapon but when you say this is cool on the crylink its worth some serious testing. Sounds interesting for sure.

[Qantourisc]

it doesn't make the weapon better or worse. But it makes it differnt ... and it can be both positive and negative depending on the weapon caracteristics ...

Random ranting about the crylink: it suxx, the worst weapon of all. Maybe becouse I can't use it. Or I dunno, I just can't hit anything with it.
The crylink should have a different style (my first vote would be yes, shaft, but I know most of the devs hate shaft).
Or if some experienced crylinker knows the correct way of using the weapon, please tell us!

I think most of us want to replace Crylink with a Shaft. The problem is to make a nice Shaft effect

Ontopic: I would love to test imploding Electro if a server had it

[Qantourisc]

Sorry lad i don't know what a shaft is ... Link ?

[C.Brutail]

Shaft is the alternate old-school nam eof the lightning gun.

I'm gunna say implode because I find that when it explodes it's useless because of the fact that it doesn't explode enough, or it doesn't go fast enough. Interesting idea though.

It explodes a great amount if you combine primary and secondary fire.. shoot some balls on the ground, stand in the middle and fire away primary and BLAM!!! you're gone
I think the electro is fine, though it would be nice to see how that implode would work, but crylink is another matter, IMO it needs change.
