A small word about the new Phaser

Here it is :

Ok, damage, we don’t care. It’s a first try, and can be increased.

But about how it works. 

It’s just impossible to use the rapid fire part, without destroying your hand and your mouse.

 

Base RoF is 130. And in rapid fire, you have to clic once per shoot. So it means 130 clic per minute. 

The AoE mode works great because a constant press is easy to use (but prediction marker is bugged, will be fixed).

 

 

It shouldn’t work like : Rapid clic = rapid fire. Long press clic = AoE damage.

 

It should more work with the cooling system.

I mean :

 

 

You can still choose between rapid fire and slow AoE with either a rapid clic or long press. BUT, once you’ve shoot at least 1 time, you can’t switch until the weapon is fully cooled.

Wich mean that after the first rapid shoot, you can now keep the button pressed and have the rapid fire mode.

I will test mark IV version.

If those weapons are time limited, I need to get them. :wink:

 It’s probably like last year :

A small test during chrismas, and they’ll come later officialy for a specific role. 

i think they disappear koromac…

 

I think that the bindings for it should be re-mapped, instead of long and short presses, holding left click does rapid fire small charges and left + right should form one large charge

it’s far, far too easy to blow yourself up with it by accident

Thanks. I will get each one for T3-T5. Can’t miss that chance.

Because it’s bugged. But It will be fixed.

 

 

 

For your right clic + left clic : no.

Else, how do I fire a missile ?

 

What I proposed is probably the best solution hands down. And it also insert a drawback where it don’t right now (and don’t tell me no damage. It’s the new weapon with the biggest DPS because of bubble mode.

you right click, left then right combined would instantly shoot the projectile, after which you hit right again

When I launch a missile, I still fire with main guns.

How the game is supposed to know that I want to fire a missile or use the Bubble gun mode then ?

you have a point, I generally only fire missiles at hull so y’know, everyone’s different. it was just a thought

Just sounds like the most idiotic weapon idea in history to me. What were the Devs thinking on this one?

no, that’s the scatter gun, the spread is horrific and it can only be used effetively either kissing the other ship or from 1KM plus away so the projectiles can group

This weapon looks good on paper : You have long range and close range.

 

But you can’t use it to it’s full potential due to bad design. So I proposed a better one.

These weapons have their own advantages to counteract the disadvantages. High range and projectile speed is on of the advantages for the Phaser.

I tried with Spark with x2 heatsinks and overdrive and it can be a very fun weapon. You just need to spam a lot your left click  :005j:

I feel like it would make a lot more sense to make it so that the thing the fires slowly requires you to click and the thing that fires quickly requires you to hold your mouse down. I mean…

But… It’s the problem. Spam click is bad for your mouse’s health and your hand.

Do you really think to do ~150 click per minutes during half a game?

BTW, that weapon is fun. But there are too many problems.

The “Kaboom” mod with firing a rapid charge into an energy ball is really hard past 500m.

And most of the time, when I stop firing some bubbles, it makes me shoot a rapid charge that instantly destroy the last bubble and so damage me.

It also lack of a prediction marker for the bubble mod.

This, with the fact that you need to spam click is sad for a such fun gameplay.

For above : if you do that, how do you cancel your energy ball? And how do you fire only once or twice with rapid charge?

With assault Railgun, because of overheat we may have to fire only one or two times, wait, and do it again. If click = bubble, you’ll loose that part on the Phaser gun.

Phaser doesn’t have terribly overheat like rails. You can probably learn how to hold the button for just enough to get off two shots. Besides, if click is bubble, and hold is rapidfire, then it’s going to be much harder to blow it up in your face.

I must disagree.

The overheat isn’t far from what rail have.

The fact is that Rail don’t have to spam click. With spam click, you have a reduced RoF and cool down a bit the gun.

With a full shoot, we’ll be close to what rail is.

Anyway I don’t care how they do it. But they need to :

-Remove the spam click.

-Remove self damage with explosive bubble.

-Add a prediction marker for bubble.

-Make destroying bubble with rapid charge much more easier.

In fact it’d be cool to see at hover the distance between the bubble and us. Also, if we hover bubble while shooting a rapid charge, the rapid charge would be auto aimed (like scatter gun) to that bubble and make it explode.

My left hand is already used to it because of osu where I don’t have rest times to stop clicking. So I guess the right one could do the job but better  :004j:
