Lengthen grenade fuse

Post by Kilm » 01 Aug 2015, 21:45

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): - Lengthen that grenade fuse to mitigate lag

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): - Stops people from blowing themselves up

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): - Pretty much says it all. Laggy as hell at times, and two grenades went off in my hand basically crippling me and fucking over my squad because of lag. Lets bump up the time by a few seconds to give a better safety margin

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Yea, gotta be honest with lag and such I end up fragging myself more than I should.

+1.

I see it more than often where a marine blows the shit out of himself with the lag we have.

+1. During the alpha test i almost killed the marines I was reconning for/protecting in a last stand with a grenade and lag. It killed it's targets but we almost died.

...I'm not sure if anyone realizes this but... Marines are 'cooking' the grenades.

If you mean the player is actually holding off on throwing the grenade, then I can assure you I certainly am not. I activate, select throw and try to launch it and it just lags out and boom.

There we go, it's just happened again. Partly the BYOND lag to change handling mode, partly game lag, that's another grenade that's gone off in my hand and crippled me.

I did manage to throw one, but take into account the vagaries for an acceptable target, it takes a lot longer to get the grenade thrown than the grenade allows.

Lengthen it to 5-6 seconds. Seriously, fuck grenades going off in your hand because BYOND lags at the worst moments.
