Some server stuff

Most people seem to like the fancy extraneous stuff like stun batons and whatnot. And I've always been indifferent to pushax, I play both demo and reborn boss all the time and don't really notice too much anymore. What it really comes down to is the necessary evil that is called JA+, which enables it.

1) I was under the impression that you've been getting quite a few complaints about pistols and batons...my main beef with it is that they muck up the dynamic at the cc (for batons), and it's also annoying to deal with reborn boss pistoling me from across the map. reborn boss are really supposed to have limited range of attack, that's supposed to be the caveat of playing reborn boss.

2) I thought Kera mentioned his newest mod version to you in vent? With admin levels and all? I don't know how many anti-lame things he put in there, but tbh I think doors should be greenable in pubs (they aren't atm).

From my experience, MANY people seem to LOVE the pistol....I'm actually using it quite a bit these days and it's pretty handy.....taking out mines, etc.

The baton is fine in a pub setting where you might have twenty peeps spamming and the reborn boss is the only one nimble enough to get to the CC through it, but the baton would be rather lame in a PUG.

Yes, doors should always be greenable.

P.S. - Of course all those cvars I mentioned will help with framerates, but most are network settings.

Check the smoothclients one in particular...I've found that without it on, many laggers will cause you to lag from waiting for input from them.

I love firing explosives down a lift. Makes it ok, right? Pretty handy too, takes out lots of enemies at once.

As I said, it just fools with the classical dynamic of reborn boss strengths and weaknesses, as well as jans being able to actually damage the cc. reborn boss are at least still able to damage the cc, so giving it a baton would make it slightly faster, as well as enabling it to damage the side consoles much, much quicker. Whereas a jan in the CC without a baton is basically no more than a minor deterrent.

Suppose you say then, why not change things up now? Well, some kinds of change aren't a good thing, just like how so many people hate my custom classes.

if you don't want me to then start picking me more in pugs otherwise, gg no re.

The worst is playing demo on Korr and not being able to switch to saber in time to avoid getting killed because you have three useless fucking weapons to cycle through.

base gameplay or gtfo!

I try, because most people host pugs at 1:00am. I'm usually doing other things then.

1AM Zimbabwe time or what?

Well, maybe an exaggeration. But still, relatively late when I'm doing other stuff, so I like to play earlier in the day.
