So why did we remove the ability for boiler’s to use membrane walls as a point of cover to shoot at marines??
Seems silly, My idea is we either give this back to Trapper or Base Boiler to use so membrane has an actual practice in defense builds other than a “Wuh you made that??? grr griefer!!!”
boilers are in a good spot right now and do not need any buffs
just remove the membrane wall, neither boiler needs buffs and its just a noob trap
I’d love it if membranes were a bit more resilient to encourage their use in certain setups. But yeah, Boilers really don’t need to be made more difficult to punish from range as it currently stands.
theres no point of them, xeno’s have xray. So i’d say remove them
You have defenders and other xenos to protect Boiler when it shoots.
Give membrane to lesser drones and let them build it at the same speed and cost as normal drone would build a normal wall.
just remove em. The only thing they do is help marines. Wich xenos dont want.
They would be a counter to DMR stunning boiler behind 2 defenders. But thats about it. Otherwise its litterary just worse then having a defender infront of you since it only takes about 10 to 20 shots from an M41A.
Dunno why it was denied, it’s basically the same as shooting through the doors. (There is a video in details)
dmr issue, weapon is poorly designed should be nerfed/removed
huh, that wouldnt even be too OP. Marines can see the boiler line up a shot then after all.
But hey, been half a year. Worth a shot to try again
did u like not read the post or something
I’ve read the post and I think buffing membranes in such a way is buffing boiler
membranes are better off removed but I don’t see why someone would put in the effort of removing them from code
besides this membranes are present on maps so you’d have to remove them from lv and such
Yeah at least now you’d be able to see the boiler the whole time instead of only when they open to charge and shoot
i mean, you know the ability to shoot through membrance wont stop em from firing through doors. Rigth?
Yeah, but it’s a safer and more noob friendly way of firering it, but overall worse then door fire.
if they open door I can fire into the door with say an ot rocket to plab them
I cannot do so if they are hiding behind rows of membrane, I have the situational awareness to figure out when a boiler is behind a door anyway
Your rigth, you cant shot at the boiler behind a membrace. But you know what you can do? You can move out of the way of the unhidden boilershot. Because you will see it from a mile away.
But your rigth, that you cant 180 noscope a boiler after he announces hes going to fire is very unfair.
Much more fun to have them shot out a boiler glob from a door in a time manner that is all in all about 0.4 seconds. A time frame not allowing a reaction in time by most though to latency, hardware, and general reaction time. Wich requires as a counter constant awareness of said boiler. While the boiler just needs to be able to count the time it takes to charge his shot.
Its much less fun to have to counter a boiler by moving out of the way with the skill requirment of having to see them. And its so much worse for marines besides that, i mean. You can see EVERY other xeno on the other side as well. Not like that xenos can see marines through solid walls is one of their greatest advantages they would have to sacrefise for this to work. Or that you can get cords and set lazes through membrance. Or that membrane have about half the health of walls.
Really, shooting through membrane is by far the worst way boiler shots could be done.
Bro only one player can shoot OT rockets is it really THAT relevant to deny a feature over this.
