Re: Damage Drop Off

@Fork_x_SpoonAgree with all of this but we need to focus on top 3 or 4 changes they can realistically make that will make the game playable when they orphan it in Sept. If damage drop off hasn't happened yet then it won't happen now.

Nerf sunflower healing...citron shield, blaster volume of ammo or warps, and brainium movement...everything else I can live with.

If there's time left, nerf the AI a bit specifically 80s rocket ride and citron laser.

    @Gormey You're right there's too much for the devs to attempt to balance for a last patch and they had so long to do it before hand so why would they do it now?

    I remember when all star could go on the offensive and suppress the enemy at range sad he became diet heavy with a Winston shield. His rotors dont even spin anymore.
  • @Gormey I like how you go on the offensive! Yes, there are other things to be changed but damage drop off is a balance change and it shouldn't be too hard to implement. If they did nerf healing, shields, and Steam Blaster I may be fine without it but until they include this vital mechanic I want a near perfect balance (especially with the lack of variants).

    Very much agree with this damage drop-off, since the game first came out later last year, I have wanted this feature, and even though it is very unlikely to be added in at all at this point, I find it would be very beneficial if the game gained this feature. 

    I like to play close-range or mid-range with many characters, and do not tend to attack from long ranges unless I am a Sniper. It gives me more incentive to attack up close for maximum possible damage if damage drop-off was added. I would really like to see this, it was in GW2, why not here?

    If damage drop-off got added at any point, I would like the current damage to be increased at closer ranges, but reduced at longer ranges.

    @Gormey You might just be able to steal the to XP author crowns from @TheSprinter85 and me.

    But don't get your hopes up, Dr. Edgar Zomboss!

    As a loyal Acorn, I will stay here patrolling the forums so you won't get those delicious brains!

    My Super Sap Trap is just waiting for you! (Sadly, it doesn't deal damage 3/4 of the time and it looks like it won't be fixed)


    Have a nice day @Gormey 🙂. Just when I thought @ToastedSarnie was right about you being at a point were you'd even be using smileys soon, you showed just how serious you are about getting that top xp crown with your posts everyone likes 😉!

    @benn1nat0r Oh I'm serious, I'll quit my job and orphan my family if I have to...victory will be mine!
  • @benn1nat0r 😂
    @Gormey Yeah, good luck - I've checked the current author xp board - you'd better get cracking! 🤪 Now behave yourself, at least for the next few hours, please - I've managed to kick my son off & the Xbox is MINE!!! 🤣
