With the changes made, nobody should be banned for lift-related issues. If further damagetypes are abused in place of FP7s and T10s, they will become affected by the immunity.

I should also clarify here. My own view is that only usage of area denial weapons on a lift and camping the top with melee matter. This means that a player should not be banned because they're firing an Akeron down a lift.

General

Fixed a critical mistake causing all energy projectiles, the MRL and the X8 knife's projectile to deal 20% more damage. There was literally a line "Dmg = Damage * 1.2" and I have no idea how it even got there.

Is this likely to be the reason energy weapons have been popular as of late, and why the raygun alt was doing 45 when you expected 38?

Will this affect the raygun primary? It will push it from a oneshot into a damaging shot, which may make the charged shot less appealing.

[Azarael]

Raygun primary drops from a bugged 168 to the intended 140. And yes, this is why energy weapons have been whored.

The issue affects only direct hits.

could you please do something about Darkstar melee abuse? Is really unbalanced and is the players using it are having these lame techniques like:
-just waiting hidden next to doors
-Getting in combat only in corridors or small rooms.
-jumping inside the lift shafts to just get you at close range
-Run through the maps just hitting anything that goes on the way, besides they have additional speed and they use of speed combo. Like it was with normal melee but with the healing per damage...

The vampirism makes the weapon practically impossible to counter with any other weapon.
With more souls they get more damage.. is ridiculous....
Apart of close range combat, also from a distance the weapon is equivalent or better than any other... a slow bolt well placed has damage as a sniper, but also limits the view of the victim...

@ DS - Is it really that bad?

Raygun primary drops from a bugged 168 to the intended 140.

Maybe increase the hitbox on the primary so you don't have Matrix style misses?

@ DS - Is it really that bad?

Its super good if you are the one using it ... please Robot try it on the full server and see everyone cry from the abuse... with a skilled user its unstoppable...

[iRobot]

You are not a bad player, you try it and show people.

[Capaco]

aza knows my opinion, yes dark star melee is not really bad and i find it okay BUT

As many ppl on the server are not that good in movement or beeing sometimes really slow ( i mean it in a good way), u have no chance and its an easy kill for KINJIN and Anni right?

I would like it like that: chain saw useable for 5 seconds then it has to load again, or as aza said, put the chainsaw to consume ammo.

[Definitelynotjay]

I think an overheat function is just what the chainsaw needs.

Why would it overheat when it is cooled by the blood and tears of your victims?
