Frostvalor Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hello I have been playing for a while now and have gotten to know most of the enemies and their factions. However, there is one enemy that has gotten my attention - as the title says, its the Roller. As far as I know, Grineer rollers always tend to die before they even reach 10m in front of the player, which is kind of sad because their only purpose is to give that semi-stagger effect on the player, and if they can't do that they should be better off be replaced by ballistas - which can take you out from a distance instead. I suggest that Rollers be given higher armor stats just to make it more balanced. They should at least scare us players a bit so that we move away while shooting them instead of just standing still knowing they pose no threat. I feel kind of sad for Steel Meridian as well. This would also make our foundry crafted Roller Specters stronger as well and more effective. For a more strategic sense, I think Rollers should spawn with a group of power fists (kinda like how MOAs are in front for the corpus faction) so that when we, Tenno, get staggered by the Roller, the power fists (or any enemy melee unit) can do their jobs. To counter this, the player should of course just move away from the Roller while shooting it. This opens room for more active movement especially with update 17. Maybe the roller can come with a variety of sizes as well as be able to roll across walls to chase down Tenno. and no... I'm not a grineer spy trying to gain favor through the forums :) Thank you!

RobWasHere Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Back in the day two rollers could stunlock you to death, and now you want them to spawn with powerfists that one hit ko Valkyr with 2k armor? No thanks. Just make them more durable, they die if you sneeze at them. Roller specters too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gintoki-Zero Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 oh god..... you are giving me back my nightmares of death by roller...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostvalor Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thank you for the feedback. I never thought Rollers were strong before and probably why they were nerfed. I guess most players would disagree with this post then :o But that's why we are here - to discuss :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvorax Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 can you imagine the roller death platoons (shudders) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Vauban Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Okay...where the hell did this come from? ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WereFowl Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Even now rollers can be nasty for stun locking low level frames. As for higher level frames: If I can dice a heavy gunner in 3 seconds why would a small metal ball present me with any difficulties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostvalor Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I love this by the way. It really gives a deep meaning to the statement "In your face." :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braken Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yeah, you do NOT want Rollers to be what they used to be. That fan-art was made for a reason. XD (Also, Nervos. I started after they were removed, but the horror stories...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
