NikolaiLev Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 As a preface, this isn't intended to be a balance thread; it pertains to a quality-of-life suggestion regarding the Ballistica. Currently, it's a little obnoxious to fire consecutive charge shots with the Ballistica, because if you press too early after you've released a bolt, you will never charge up. While it's fair to have a delay before another round can be charged (this is a balancing factor after all), if you press the mouse during that delay it should "queue" the charge shot, starting the charge when that delay ends. Something else I'd like to see is a buffer time for canceling a shot with the reload key; when you charge a shot, you can press the reload key and the weapon will not reload, but merely cancel it. Pressing reload again will obviously reload the weapon. However, if you're charging a shot and hold the reload button for, say, .50 seconds (arbitrary) it would reload immediately. It'd be just slightly slower to reload from a charged shot, but I'm not sure that's such a big drawback because the situations where you'd need that speed don't seem terribly common. A Paris shot is easy to cancel with the reload key; however, trying to do so with the Ballistica will often result in an undesired reload. While you can cancel a charge by rolling, I feel it'd be more elegant to simply implement a buffer as mentioned above, as you wouldn't need to adjust positioning and waste stamina just to cancel the reload.

SkyGoBrrrr Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Yes please. The Lanka could use this too. Edited October 31, 2013 by Colorswirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDroid Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I agree with this suggestion. I'm not sure why this delay was built into the Ballistica when other charge weapons don't seem to suffer from it (or at least not as much), but it just makes it unintuitive to use.

Kaibah Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Agreed. I'd also like it to be not ridiculously big too. The size of it and the Acrid just look dumb and out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikolaiLev Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yes please. The Lanka could use this too. Wasn't aware the Lanka had the issue. Hopefully it would get this improvement as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
