Engineer Setting

Post by MustaphaTR »

I made it and this is ready for merge but Developers (Mailaender and Paul) did not like my idea. https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/6049

Gods no, that's horrid. I prefer having my engineers just run inside and be consumed.

Easier to take over buildings, since you just have to spam a bunch of 'em, whereas outside capturing makes them extremely vulnerable.

...Fuuuuuuuuuuuck I misread things.

I apologize for that. My vote should've indeed been yes.. >_<

Part of the problem is that I don't play OpenRA enough, and when I do, I play TD. >_<;

I disagree on the external capturing for one main reason:

The second an engineer exits an APC or flight copter you can instantly have them capture a structure without them actualy appearing at all on the field. That is a major problem.

Having them to go into the structure itself then captures is better to prevent insta capture exploits. (And yes you can do that. Simply number your engineers then load em up. Second they come out spam the # key they are and spam right click the structure. Volla. Captured)

AoAGeneral, i said to Speedy. Standart settings are extenial capturing at D2k and Ra. Why are you giving 'No' to Voting.

Engineer whoring ruins games. Capture Used tobe instant. Games would be over in 1 minute.
It was changed for a reason. Having it optonal would only ruin multiplayer games when someone enables it to troll. Imagine an asshole doin that 5 games in a row.
Nice thought butits bad.

useless , we had alot of troubles in the past with engineers capturing by enter a building because its simply " too easy" ... aka -> shitty games

i dont like the option for it even when its external on default ... because its just food for the trolls anyway

and nobody likes to switch a server just because the admin changes " 1 simple rule" to make a lolol-game out of it ...

Then it would seem that I dont fully understand what your adding as the engineer mechanic is just fine as it is right now.

Why not have an internal capture option, but only when the building is already largely damaged, and the damage can't be done by other engineers? i.e. you can't just send 5 engineers at a building.
