[Alpha] Remove the broadcast messages

Post by Minijar » 06 Aug 2015, 11:00

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
So there you are in an alien nest when you manage to escape the resin. Unfortunately this broadcasts a message to everyone who can see you, meaning five thousand aliens then resecure you instantly in the thing. I propose removing this message for everyone but yourself.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It'll actually allow for some marine escapes or at least increase their chances. And will stop aliens guarding marines 24/7 to make sure they can't escape

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Just make the message client only and not broadcast to the world your activities.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
As above. Please note this is the same with handcuffs, as there's no point trying to remove handcuffs as it tells everyone you just removed them resulting in everyone slapping them straight back on.

EDIT OH also while we're at it, reduce the escape time from resin, it's something like four minutes which is ridiculous amount of time to wait only to instantly getting stuck back in again.

Actually, not bad. If alien have good sight, he will see, that you managed to break out of nest. If no... Bad, bad alien.

The resin escape timer is okay, getting downed and placed in the nest immediately upon breaking free is not.

Agree. BTW, TS, I don't think it is called "broadcast messages". When I read post title I thought you are talking about Announcements.

Yeah, sure. If the aliens aren't paying attention that's their problem.

I'm actually pretty sure abby changed it to four.

I digress, I completely agree with this aliens should have to stay vigilant of you and should not be informed by the game when you escape.
