Arthur_Dayne Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 These are incredibly overpowered, most blobs occur later in the round, and if R&D knows what the hell they're doing, they'll have them by then. It doesn't matter how skilled or amazingly played the blob was, any schmuck with a single gun and a recharger can lolshoot the blob until 7-10 LIFTED BIOHAZARD DESTROYED YAAAY! It's annoying, and it's annoying as all hell. Something something, make it so it doesn't do something, blah blah.

Scrat Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 As was explained to you ingame, them's the bricks. If Science can manage to get an x-ray gun because the blob event spawns late, then good on R and D, sucks for the blob.

DZD Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Yeah, x-ray laser guns are quite a late-game science item, and actually requires cooperation with both mining and security. That said, it isn't completely impossible for a blob to win given that the crew obtains x-ray lasers, it just becomes very difficult. Xray lasers only do 15 burn damage per hit, 7.5 to the blob core due to its resistance to fire damage.

fludd12 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Not only that, but every round I've seen that didn't involve x-ray lasers was "station is blob now, gg no re."

Fj45 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Annnnnd blob spore thingys are very powerful, its easy for blobs to spam them out and overwhelm anyone nearby, x-ray or not.

Qinetix Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Not to mention they zombie anything from screens away, why nobody is fixing that, they are fucking ridiculous.

Earthdivine Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 A bigger thing to mention that Event blobs are meant to cause a little chaos and possibly force the crew to get their act and do something in an otherwise boring round. They can't' win in any sort of fashion other then Blob Station 13. As such the means to really balance something because of an event isn't really all that pressing. Game mode blob on the other hand would, but no one has X-rays that early.

Qinetix Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I have an idea about that. Make blob zombies explode in a rain of gibs upon death, its not like they are going to get ressurected.

PPI Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 being the x-ray is such a mid too late game weapon unless you got super competent mining and science, then x-ray lasers ain't happening durring blob rounds, for events they might happen. So nay to nerfing it. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/4164-nerf-x-ray-laser-guns-vs-blobs/#findComment-28192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plotron Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Balance the blob first; complain about niche guns later. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/4164-nerf-x-ray-laser-guns-vs-blobs/#findComment-28231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
