Warrior decaping should not be a thing.

General Discussion

Ok like why can warriors Decap? I mean I can get limbs and what not. but to be able to take out a player out of the game, in cases where they can be capped is really dumb. because that’s the thing if a warrior can decap that can take cap them just as easily.

Queen gibing is a powerful tool that has a cooldown but fucking warriors can decap as much as they want.

And yes i am making this discussion because i got decaped… but this shit is just toxic, for how long it take to decap they can more easily cap the marine. It also give the chance for the marine to spawn as a xeno.

Edit:

Welp seem every one simply wish’s to mock me, no thats not fair a few lads at lest engaged in constructive discussion.

Still anyhow if I made this hill may as well die on it.

Now to elaborate now I have calm down. First of all lads are pointing out how hard it is to get a decap off in the first place. So? that the issue its so hard because the marine has to be alive for you to Delimb, the marine is not going to let it happen so they have to be in crit or push stunned.

If they are in such a state than they are prim capping material. If they die on route to the hive or die in the hive they are still effectively permanently killed. If they die so soon that after devouring that they be saved than the Decap will most likely not even get off in the first place.

The second point that was brought up was about in cases of the hive being assaulted… if the hive is such bad of a state capping is still the better option. it get you more respawn, which is most likely sorely needed.

Also if you are spending the time to Decap and not fight your just ganking the hive. just cap you can leave the putting away of cap to lesser drones or drones.

If there is no eggs or huggers, the hive is most likely at that point falled… and you should be fleeing for your life to regroup.

Third point There being no safe way to hive, this is only of the few actually good points.

Fourth point there being no hugger or carryers around. you don’t need a huggers at hand to get a cap, it not that hard as long as you have a burrower, or know the map to get to a tunnel. Now the one fair thing about this point is if you are dealing with a mag harn gun with a bayonet on. still ways to deal with it by push dragging or just spiting out in a corner and re-eating.

giving it a cooldown would probably be a good idea but it’d have to apply to only the head because woyers can delimb other limbs too

it is kind of a stupid play in the long run

i mean that will be better but really, it will be best if the warrior can’t Decap but can have much faster delimbing.

really the whole fact that they can Decap is so odd from a gameplay perspective anytime a warrior can decap they also can take cap. If a warrior kills a EZ cap in the heat of the moment is bit annoying but its a heat of the moment thing… but for a decap its premeditated.

Yes, i decapped you because you were solo near me in invis for no reason, you escaped me the first time, you came back and this time i lunged you. I wanted to stop decaping after hugger hugged you, but saw mortar south and decided to kill you 100%, it was very close anyway. You play with invis and stun bullets and post about nerf this, nerf that.

mate you are not getting the issue here. I know that getting a decap is hard… that’s the point if they can decap they can cap. Decaping is first of all takeing away a cap from hive, secondly you are takeing your fellow player out of the round.

all decaping is just flat out griefing. you are griefing the player and griefing the hive.

Yes, and this was not the first time I got decaped as scout. but this is the first time am making a post about it because I realized just how toxic it is.

i think the impacts bullets are BS too at lest the fact they have lack any range were it stops, geting sniped by impact shots off screen as a runner is not fun.

it not grief it funny like ahahahahahaah i pulleded he head of

The cool down is that it requires 30 seconds to do on a living marines. Bad idea

but to be able to take out a player out of the game, in cases where they can be capped is really dumb. because that’s the thing if a warrior can decap that can take cap them just as easily.

WRONG. There may be zero huggers or carriers, it may be better not to risk transportation, if hive is under assault decap is better, capping is NOT a must have every time.

And yes i am making this discussion because i got decaped… but this shit is just toxic

If you think a xeno permanently killing you to prevent recovery is “toxic” then stick to ship side roles.

This is a salt post - you got permanently removed from the game and instead of being hugged, you were decapped. Simple solution: don’t do whatever led to this in the first place

no i have no issue with perm kills. The fact that decaping which denies the hive a larb and a respawn is toxic.

A cap is more or less a perm kill anyhow.

14

I didn’t mean anything toxic even tho you killed me many times with impact bullets. I wanted to stop after you were hugged, but saw mortar south with flame shells and it was the only way out, didn’t want to risk losing a scout, you guys kill me the most. You died because you were solo, i rarely use decap because it’s too long and other xenos just grab and devour, this time everyone near me agreed on decap after i crit you.

15

Ok fair point on it not being safe way to hive… but if the hive is under assault why are going around decaping? it take so long and just killing is much better and safer. what’s more it puts the hive at risk to have this marine stuck in push stun.

16

yes and no. yes I am I salty about it of course. But no I don’t go making posts just because I am salty, I have died as scout SO MANY MORE TIMES do to hugger traps, or the wonky shit going on with walls and cloaks.

do I salt about in Dchat of course. but I only ever make posts about things that i genuinely find issues with from a gameplay perspective.

17

And i don’t care if decap will be nerfed, just want you to know that i didn’t mean anything toxic, we were shelled and you were hugged at the last second.

18

I mean I can get that you didn’t mean to be toxic, really i just think the ability is toxic. that the thing I get lads using the tools at hand, even though I think how impact rounds are now way to Over powered in some ways i still use it.

Much like my issue with acid if you lads ever are lurking about, prob can find my post about it. but still i will still go around melting guns too.

the issue is not with the player necessarily but its a nonsensical ability that does not really add anything to the gameplay.

Also i fully understand the follow through on the decap even after i got hugged it was so close to being done and the push had gotten so close.

19

I think decapping specs isn’t that much toxic, same with queen’s gib. I wouldn’t decap a random marine even if i could lose them, as i said other xenos just grab and devour and i always ask if decap is ok or someone would transport them. I asked before decapping you too. And i was really scared to lose a scout, i mean your bullets in an open field is 100% death to me and you killed me many times with them.

Decapping people is just a worse option than capping them, what are you talking about “removing from the round”, capping does the same. Or just fling them behind xeno lines, the effect is the same.
