Nailing To Walls Should Feel Better Than It Does

[Minnow23]

I was fighting through a Grineer mining base using my AKBoltos and when I shot a Lancer in the head I noticed that instead of flying fifty feet into a wall he just sort of slumped over and fell on his face. For some reason when this happened I thought "Wow, that looks so much cooler than when I pin an enemy to the wall!"

 

Then I thought, "How the hell did this happen?" It seems to me like nailing an enemy to a wall should feel awesome, I should look forward to an enemy being hung like a trophy with a nail in his chest, but it just doesn't feel special.

 

The first time I pinned a Grineer's smug face to a rock wall it felt awesome, but it just happens so much that it lost all of its appeal. Now I get excited when I see an enemy take a bolt in the same way they would take a bullet, which is totally backwards.

 

My suggestion is that the chance of pinning an enemy to a wall should go way down, to the point where it is an occasional treat rather than the norm. If a weapon's selling point is "It pins enemies to walls" then it should feel awesome to pin an enemy to a wall, but if it happens every single time it's going to lose its appeal.

 

tl;dr - To make pinning an enemy to a wall feel more rewarding it should be a much less common occurrence.

I'd rather it just not launch them anywhere near as far as it does. Save the intercontinental ballistic Grineer for the Paris.

If you get your weapon strong enough, the elemental damage will kill the mob first preventing them to get pinned on the wall. They would just fall over.

They need to fix that. I use a heavily modded Boltor and NEVER get wall pins.

I think it's fun with paris and boltor because the bolts feel like they have weight from the sounds.  AKboltos have a not-so-threatening PFFT PFFT PFFT.  Paris sounds like a heavy arrow twang, and boltor feels like you're firing railroad spikes.  Akboltos sound like twin pneumatic dart guns.

It's a lot toned down from what it used to be. Used to have a lot of fun decorating the walls with lines of grineer.

try the good old F.E.A.R. game. It has a similar thing on a gun, it feels awesome to pin people to walls in that game.
