0.76 Discussion

[tunaspirit]

most people that shoot more than 5 rifle bullets are spawncampers, people using rifle in close-combat, people stuck in wall duels, or people who don't reload often. Just reload when nobody's around.

Also the only times the RoF of the rifle is gonna bother you is when you are facing 5+ others heading your way. In 0.75 you could eradicate an entire squad with the RoF there, now you have to aim carefully for the head each shot, and take cover while being shot. I don't waste my entire clip on some guy who's close-mid range. With the new RoF you have to cool down and aim for the head once more, not use it like an SMG, turning the semi into a profs weapon.

Balance pls.

Damage falloff is unneccessary though.

Found quite a few things:
- Crouching makes the rifle OP, seriously. Crouching now has the same affect on the rifle as it does on the SMG.
- Damage fallout is relevant to blocks too, not just people.
- Lots of rifle bugs on blocks at fog range.

Continuing testing, but for the rest of .76 I'm just going to be crouching with the rifle from now on.

Also, for those complaining that you can't do those crazy jumpshots anymore, face reality. That stuff is for the pistol, a standard soldier could get his shoulder muscles strained for that kind of stuff.

EDIT:
- Every gun has block damage problems. You can't destroy a block after 30 blocks of range.

I think you can still do jumpshots with rifle. Did one while jumping of the cliff.

A lot of professional players that have tried out .76 are saying that this update is the worst so far.

The Shotgun is too fast at shooting, and the 8-clip magazine was unnecessary.
The rifle is terrible now. The shorter clip makes the rifle the hardest weapon to use.
The SMG is too strong, regardless of head shots.
The rocket launcher does not act as an actual rocket launcher, but instead, a mortar.

Perhaps the leaders should listen to professional players, instead of listening to the whole entire player-base, where most players are 14 years or younger.

Wait, we have a rocket launcher? This is new to me. How do you get it?

Love the update seems much more balanced, the semi is much better with the accuracy just takes a little while to get used to the rate of fire.

[TheSifodias]

New Updates:
-Rifle Damage(without fallout)
- Headshot: 100 hp
- Body: 60-70 hp damage(so 2 hits= death)

SMG:
-Headshot: 60 hp damage. 1 bullet.
- Body: 40hp damage. 1 bullet.
- Limbs: 20 hp damage with 1 bullet.

Shotgun couldn't be tested.

EDIT: Final proof that rifle isn't underpowered:
- Limb Shot w/ Rifle: 50 damage. No fallout.

I'm liking what I'm reading so far. I haven't played the demo yet, but it sounds good. I just might start playing/modding again if what I've read is true.

[Fluttershy]

SMG:
-Headshot: 60 hp damage. 1 bullet.
- Body: 40hp damage. 1 bullet.
- Limbs: 20 hp damage with 1 bullet.

So that explains why SMG still feels broken

The rocket launcher does not act as an actual rocket launcher, but instead, a mortar.

I thought the playes wanted mortars? How is this a problem? Also, what is a professional AoS player?

[TheSifodias]

Some more stats:
-Spade damage is 80 instead of 60.
- Falout can reduce damage by 20 at far range.
- Don't worry pros, headshots aren't affected by fallout, for the rifle, the are always an instant kill.
- Fall damage starts at 12 blocks high, rises exponentially. You can get up to 20 blocks high and still live with 4hp. However, that is not always the case, since the damage is very random, having a range of 10/
- Shotties appear not to be affected by fallout.
- SMG's may be affected by fallout.

Also, KomradeZinger helped test the fall damage.

PXYC, please don't change the map on the aloha.pk, we need all those targets for experimentation.

[ReubenMcHawk]

I made a short video demonstrating my feelings toward the update.
