Removing the ability to field after dying

[Masaru]

I'm sure most people (that have flagged for a while) know what I'm talking about. It's where someone gets a field, rushes into base as far as they can, die then launch a field.

 

My argument is that nobody should be able to field after their ship has popped. How would you launch a field from your ship if its in bits and pieces?

Huh? Why?

 

Anyway, I agree with Masaru's argument.

I wouldn't mind if this was put in, but it kinda already is because when you field while you are dead, it does not pop up where your "deadness" is, but where you were a while back, so it is pretty much not possible to abuse. A field nerf is fine by me anyways, since they are, IMO, Superbricks.

It's different when you have to stay alive to use it though -- you're probably not going to time it exactly as you're taking your last hit, which means you'll either have to drop it earlier in your suicide run or get real good at dodging burst spam at high speeds. In either event, the end result is that the field occurs further back.

By changing it so u cant use field after u die, you will have to actually use it well instead of just rocket, die and wait till last min before launching field.

Well i would say yes we should change it because its unfair your dead nothing should come out of your ship unless you have ad.

?

 

Cerium makes a good point - this change, if it is made, would result in fields being generally launched from 'further back', even though as Sharpflame points out, there is already a 'lag' in field position that can be significant for rushing ships.

isnt that the point!

But what if you die and your NOT in a base? That wouldn't be fair for the center.

fair for center? lolol

 

anyways, i actually didnt know this was possible, thanks for the heads up. Let the aboooose commence!

Um, whoever heard of fielding center?

[Masaru]

Fielding in center? MADNESS!

[Aceflyer]

Fielding in center? MADNESS!

 

Indeed; I fondly remember accidentally fielding the center safe once.

Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I thought you meant Mini-Fields!!! Wow my post really didn't make sense now that I look it over, haha.

I'm even more confused by your latest post, but will note that Brick Attack fields ("mini-fields") already cannot be deployed after your ship has exploded.

85% approval rate, cool

Now who's going to fix it?

It is on my immediate to-do list once I get around to installing the tools I need to actually do it.

[cow888]

What? What is this? This debate is over already? Bah, that won't stop me from jumping and making points that have already been made!

Obviously, yes, a pile of debris shouldn't be able to deploy a field, and no, the current kamikaze - field "strategy" requires absolutely no skill.

THE KIRBACHEV HATH SPOKEN!

What tools do you need I'll post the direct download links here.

i think we should be able to field after dying. now that we cant it kinda sucks cause it's almost impossible to time it just right when you're gonna die. so unless you get the super weak searing heat you cant really get near enemie lanc enough that u hurt it with needler ammo or lightning ammo. so we should put the "after dying" fielding back.

[tcsoccer and neptune]

Its already been changed... I don't think they'll un-do it.

[tiss61]

i think they really should cause all fields do now is.... hold the enemies from rushing so much, nothing else, so needler ammo and lightning ammo is LITERALLY useless, cause if u wanna hold enemies, then it's better to do it in a bigger area
