Blocks should be stronger?

Got a great new idea for the game?

Should player-placed blocks be harder to destroy?

Yay!

SMG should take 5

Shotgun is fine as it is with block destruction

Regular hits for spade should go back to 3 as well


Also, we should go back to having 100 blocks. You cant build anything functional with only 50 blocks.


50 should stay default however.

I support the idea, Really, I am almost never inclined to build anything more then 2 high walls.
To further prevent griefing, maybe make team placed blocks 10x harder to break? We could make griefing very hard, and griefing by placing blocks would be the only form left. No one would do this because you don't get too see structures fall.

Usually griefers aren't after physics, most often they're after for insults.
If you made a bunker that enemy conquered, then you'd be in trouble trying to bring it down.

Nah, they shouldn't be stronger than enemy blocks.

The ting is a good chunk of griefers don't grief for trolling, a lot of the younger do it just to watch stuff fall over. 3Most griefers I have seen aren't intelligent enough to even realize that their trolling could be considered funny.

drug test urine results ,,, nice

stronger blocks would be good, just have something like a heavy machine gun or mortar that can break through them a lot easier, it will be cool. what I mean is just, make the light weapons be kind of bad against blocks, but the heavy weapons can be good against them.

I don't think blocks are too weak. Griefers are always annoying but I think this game has the perfect balance for box health. Any more, and it'd make taking out the opponent's structures much more difficult, which is part of the game. You build your base and destroy your enemies'. I don't want to see that mechanic go away.

yeah, I guess that is pretty true, but the problem I see is if a heavy machine gun were added, it would make sense for it to break blocks quickly, so it seems a bit weird if the other guns perform the same way in that respect. maybe just making the SMG be 4 shots would be good enough, I like the semi's damage on it

I say nay. As a matter of fact, I feel it should be the other way around.

I feel people just make their own terrain while playing, although it isn't all that bad, it can take away from some of the maps. For example, when people create large command posts n' such on the gen maps. Honestly, I feel we should use the map as it was made, using whats already there.

I'd like to see terrain blocks be extremely harder to brake.

I think for game modes like babel, lots of fun would be lost anyways.

why not make it a server option?
I don't see why more people don't makes forts. even if not useful, they're a lot of fun

I think there should be a new anti-materiel gun (HMG anyone) made with the purpose of destroying blocks.

Not sure if word's gotten out yet, but there will be a new more destructive weapon. Prepare to see a more detailed coverage in next week's newsletter.
