8th of June Experimental Ticklag/Speed Changes

[dylanstrategie]

This regards the round where I manually adjusted player and Xeno speeds (full round, OOC warnings, asked for feedback in LOOC, etc)

I'd like to know your thoughts on it, how the gameplay felt, if you think it's viable, if the balance still feels right or broken, if things were hard to hit or do, that sort of stuff

Any feedback is welcome. Do note this does not regard the many aborted rounds before it where we had to reboot a few minutes after to fix stuff

[SaltyMouthful]

The game felt different, but nothing was really overwhelmingly negative or positive, much less notably. It felt strange, which is the only negative thing, but I don't feel like it was due to gameplay, but due to how the game felt.

[Sneakyr]

I loved how marines moved since it wasn't a total unpleasant hellish slog. Xenos were pretty good too, faster than marines but not impossible to hit.
One thing I noticed, however, is that preds go at sonic speeds worse than before. I don't think a melee duel could ever be possible against a pred and they might actually run almost as fast as bullets.

[Drengskapr]

Feels good. It doesn't feel awkward sluggish anymore, but it's weird moving faster then usual.

[misto]

it was nice that the marines werent such slugs

aliens still super duper hard 2 hit

had a tricky time tackling marines as alien because i kept bumping them away from me, out of my reach. ha ha

while youre experimenting with speeds of things, consider experimenting with making projectiles like spits and bullets move faster

[Bigfoun]

Thought it was actually pretty smooth with the movement not lagging at all. Xenos were fast but possible to hit so works for me. Like said above though, the predator looked like the Flash. Almost impossible to hit

[TheMusician321]

It was great, much better than normal as everything is so god damn SMOOOOOOTH.

[Jeser]

For me, it was very disorientating, because you get a feeling of faster working game, while it's not. By looking at speed of my char I totally forgot, that there is quite a delay between two actions can be done using mouse and, therefore, I quickly died, so couldn't test more. So, this is first impression.

[Renomaki]

Honestly, I'd rather we just stick to the old, traditional speed/tick rate. LOADS of other servers have it and they get along just fine. That, and balance was made around the normal speed.

Changing the tick/speed just makes keeping the balance all the more frustrating. We don't need no fancy 60 FPS, we want... Stuff.

[Melioa]

I don't play much alien, but I felt as if marines were a slight tad too slow. Xenos also seemed a bit slow. It could also just be my ping, though.

Yeah, I don't mind not having 60 FPS but what I do mind is a marine trudging around as if they're a mountain hiker. Especially the B18 suit, where it's like you're on walking speed.

[Casany]

Well, from what I noticed, marines used to be faster along with xenos last night, going ABOUT goonspeed, and now they're slower then you walk on basically any other server. I dunno WHY they made this change, I think everyone preferred walking faster to slower, but they did. I'd rather have the goonspeed though, if you ask me.

[Swagile]

Going slow motion as a marine sucks donkey kong t-shirts.

Literally unplayable unless you play a support class that doesn't go into combat much.

[Ping]

Even the spray cleaner mist is taking a slow crawl across the floor as if it was so late for work that it stopped caring about showing up on time.

Personally not a fan, I'm with Swagile.

[ty55101]

Do people not like my stats? I think they are great. They really show off me skills.

Wrong topic man

Wrong topic man

Oh crap. I tabbed to a different topic by mistake.

It is nice having moving between tiles and actually being able to hit someone who is moving around instead of them just jumping from tile to tile.

[Crab_Spider]

They've reverted the speed change. Happy day !

[dylanstrategie]

Just so we're clear, this is independent of the experiment ran here. Something was very wrong with base speed for a little bit

... oh

Well, um... it was rather strange and caused constant lah

[Heckenshutze]

I don't mind with xenos being fast, it should be hard for example, to hit a runner.. but I can't deal with the marines running at classic walking speed.
