I let ramon touch the waki proto file so he can enjoy it one last time before removal on wipe.
People are quick to cry sneak OP for 2 real reasons:
1. They feel that sneak can attack them without recourse
2. They feel that sneak attacks are too powerful
The first is objectively wrong because sneak weapons have a range shorter than the range their are visible from (on characters with reasonable PE). Sneak doesn't make the attacker invisible until attacking, it reduces the range from which they can be seen. What this does is reduce the reaction time of the defender. Is that OP? Well lets look at the cost, guaranteed 100% (before Armor efficiency) critical bypasses on hits during and immediately after sneaking. That seems more than fair to me.
The second had some merit with the WAKI, but only situationally. The WAKI did OP damage when the enemy was hit in the back from a sneaking enemy within the 2hex WAKI range. The sneaker is completely vulnerable from X-Hex where they can be seen to 2hex where they can finally attack. You know how you countered a sneak WAKI? You closed doors behind you. You know what you did if the sneak WAKI was already inside? You stood with your back to the wall. I have never once died to a sneak WAKI player, because I PLAYED SNEAK WAKI a lot. Its not that I never ran into them, I just knew how to defend myself.
That brings to point the final statement: Can you claim something is OP and needing a nerf without actually understanding its mechanics?
I think not. As far as sneak rippers? I ran into a sneak ripper while looting. He hit me while I was looting from a body. You know how I countered him? I moved and bursted him. My damage was greater than his because every attack was a crit bypass. If being outplayed is OP, then I don't think there will ever be a game that is fair to you.
looks like u didnt played the server much ... guaranteed bypass on sneak was removed long time ago , and spotting formula was changed also , i dont know whats reasonable PE but its not easy to spot them with mid PE like 5 my guess is you need 10 and i dont know if that is some regular amount of perception ... needler got almost no aimtime with aimed shots , requires only 200 sneak skill in comparison to 250 which grands u all wepaon perks with a gifted character that has 7 more special points than regular chars which use all 5 weapon perks ...
what does a sneaker risk ? a crafted needler gun , 30 sec , some looted needles from police department , one stim and one leathercoat ... if you would have played this server regulary than u would know whats wrong

Risks same thing everyone else is risking. Leather coat and combat armors are same price

And everything he said is what I would have said...Will say my 300000k cents when I come back home
BTW who the hell is BG sexpert ingame?
if you get killed with 100 weight loadout vs 12 weight maybe youre just shit at videogames
for example you couldve thrown down a smoke and rippered in it in the legendary 4 snek vs pa battle in GE
i can throw ashies in trashbin also and save precious lifetime
but instead you chose to sit in one spot and chain use stimpaks
Daammnnn Teela, back at it again with the white peennissesss :D
I find it funny that everyone was amazed by the performance of sneakers in last video when they could have done a better job if they rolled combat character with any kind of pistol (maybe colt).
There was no sneaking around, they didn't hide from enemy sight range, they just flanked around from outside and fought inside a building within sneak detection range.
They only performed well because they went in last, made a line of fire, shot the same target and enemy came one by one. Pretty basic FOnline.
Same could be said for waki, machete can do 200 dmg per hit (direct dmg + bleed) and doesn't require to be behind the target.
But yeah, let's hate sneaker. #nerfsneak
i dont know where u see focus fire , needler is op against regular combat chars , look on the dmg 50 per hit no aimtime ko and whatever criteffects ... non spa guys died like flees. bonus speed from minus ap is also bullshit you cant even get them with melee weapon then.
Needler and its ammo is one in the same
what im saying is not all weapons that inflict bleed have to behave in the same way
you could make some weapons that inflict a fixed amount of bleed per shot if that shot does any damage.
The result is a weapon that can fight heavy armored targets and at the same time doesnt instashrek low armors
cryier pls
where did i say something about weapons for paper builds?
what im saying is not all weapons that inflict bleed have to behave in the same wayExactly, I'm annoyed too that I have no way right now of putting fixed bleed on weapons. Cirn pls fix

No, not really
Nerf the weapon: use AP ammo or nothing
Nerf AP ammo: Player gets to choose between two different ammo types to fill two different roles
Also i really hate how bleed is calculated. Like Smalltime or someone on irc said bleed right now is just another word for hollow point ammo. Bleed should not always be just another multiplier thats applied to the direct damage done.
