Thors

[Rivel]

As you see thors are ruining basing games! As you might see they could use a nerf. People are gaining free money and exp by doing this! (1-5 kills per 2 thors) Edited March 23, 2008 by Rivel

How about adding "No, because they're fine" to your biased list of options? <3

[Suicide_Run]

If I remember correctly....since Thor is just a Lvl4 Bomb, if you change prox/dmg of it. The change will have an effect on the prox/dmg of normal bombs.

 

Changing just the price of the consumable item is a short term solution. There will always be someone who will have enough money or be willing to use the amount of money to do it.

[rootbear75]

how bout you guys just stop changing so many settings at once....

nerf too many things at once then people will hate you...

 

 

wait... then again, i just remember brain doesnt care... oh well

 

 

and you can change the damage of thor... i remember in subgame there was a *thor command or something and if you put like 99, its an instant kill to anyone in the blast radius...

and are you sure its a L4 bomb and not an L5?

Engine failure uses level 4 thor, but I am pretty sure all players use level 1 thor.

 

In other words, thors can only be made stronger.

 

 

And *thor 99 is the same as *thor 3. There are only 4 levels

I'm sure dr is smart enough to code something that will decrease thor damage

[Dr Brain]

I'm sure you're wrong.

[Kilo]

Thors are level 4 prox bombs that can move through walls, nothing particularly special besides that. Engine failure and the like manage to add shrapnel to the thors which make them very deadly.

I normally am opposed to weapon nerfs, but im involved in a large public freq game right now and the #1 weapon being used between both sides are thors. I would just like to see thor prox reduced by about 1/3rd to 1/2 and I think the game will be much tolerable.

[Dr Brain]

Prox cannot be reduced on Thors. Thor's damage cannot be changed in any way. The only thing we can do is make them more expensive, and make ships hold fewer.

[Suicide_Run]

Since we cant change dmg nor prox. I propose my (and others) idea of allowing people to have only 1 siege pack and the only way to increase thor amount is by buying combo mount. And also to increase thor cost to 50-100 per thor. Edited February 26, 2008 by Suicide_Run

[Deathmonger]

The splash damage radius of all bombs was upped in the new setts; I'm pretty sure you can reduce it. Bomb splash damage radius is part of what ails basing right now because it makes chokepoints imp!@#$%^&*able.

Thor ammo only buyable in sector 8's store ftw.

Idk if anyone has noticed this or not, but thorring isnt nearly as bad as it once was, especially the first day of "thor wars".

 

Sure there are people who still thor, but I dont think you'll ever get rid of that even with changes like increasing price of thors, or moving the buying position to 8. Thors were always prevalent prior to reset, and they still are now.

 

People just need to get ships with over 1500 energy, and have a lanc that has summon, both of which are becoming more and more common, it's just a matter of time.

[Pity.]

I agree, people right now are just taking advantage of the lack of summoner and antiwarp. with those 2 items becomming more and more common again, thor spam will reduce drastically.

[Suicide_Run]

Well I think the price increase of 20 from 30-50 helped abit. With that change, there are less new players going around thoring cause the over all net gain from thoring has decreased even though its still in the positive.

[Deathmonger]

Yes, the thorring is no longer economically beneficial so we have gone back to nobody attacking bases at all.

[Unix]

It's not "as" beneficial. If you thor properly, you'll be able to get more than enough kills, if you were just thorring and hoping to hit someone before, now the it's not worth it to do that, now you, omg, actually have to aim your thors and hit something.

THOR AMMO PURCHASED IN SECTOR 8 ONLY!

Problems solved, thor storm only occurs when organized.
