Ravengers being allowed the buffs fire gives for a small amount of time outside the fire.

[Lucius Jones]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): So instead of fire giving a slight boost of damage and healing a Ravenger, I think the damage boost caused by the fire should stick with the Ravenger for a short time once it leaves the fire, maybe clinging to its skin?

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Make the fire giving a damage increase to a Ravenger MEAN something, and get them to charge more often instead of staying back.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): The damage increase, but not the healing, caused by fire would stay with the Ravenger once it emerges from fire, Maybe giving a text of 'The fire clings to the Ravengers skin as it goes into a rage' to show noobs that fire should not be used vs a Ravenger.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Just instead of giving the damage increase only if they stand inside the fire, a small amount of time outside it (time debatable in comments, but I think 2-3 seconds.)

This is very interesting seeing ravagers have relations to fire to keep em going but not many use fire so uh +1

[Xenomorph Dominatrix]

I dunno, seeing as how there's no IC way for the humans to find out that ravagers don't get hurt by fire (or do they just take less damage and get a buff? I don't even know) (not easy for newbies to find out OOC even which is why you see them getting flamethrowered so much rather than people being good roleplayers I'm pretty sure since mods barely ever actually stop people doing/saying meta things) , since there's no visible damage to aliens when burned or cut like humans (something in the future maybe?) making that more powerful could be kind of counterintuitive

Actually, an idea that would make this fair is if on the IC > Notes tab, when things get discovered by a team, a little note gets added to that window (and maybe flashing icon/red highlight to make them aware that a new unread note is there to read), automatically adding little IC notes along the lines of "X marine has used a flamethrower/incendiary grenades against a ravager at least 10 times and it's had no apparent effect, this intel has been passed on to marine command."
On the other side "The last thing runner (69) saw before it disappeared from the hivemind was a small disc on the ground exploding with great force." and these things would let people keep track of what things are discovered in that round so people can always know even if they join late what info is fair play to use, could be useful, even achievement-like (little icon of a mine and a runner exploding in a Discovered tab for the alien team, another for when someone sees the first chestburster come, stuff like that)

would be interesting to see this work with this other sugestion that i made about the fire viewtopic.php?f=59&t=6079
While the ravager is set of fire, he gets some kind of buff like the one you said, or just ignite in fire marines when it slash one, so, +1 if it gets implemented with a rework in the fire, neutral if not.

[Lucius Jones]

the ignition would be nice, but I know marines will scream 'Overpowered' Until the end of time with that one, still be great for it to be added. But yes it would be nice for the buffs to carryover, and the buffs are slight healing and slight damage buff, not sure on the exact numbers.

[Lucius Jones]

so, any more ideas on the subject?

[Abbysynth]

This is not at all how ravager fire buffs work and is filled with misinformation. It does not add damage OR heal them.

[Lucius Jones]

sorry, I worked off what I was told by a mentor, so sorry for the misinformation. But the buffs given to a ravenger by fire (no idea what they are now) could still be carried over a short amount of time after leaving the fire.
