cxc Posted November 1, 2012 Report Posted November 1, 2012 Since i am no longer burst proof eatting greens is a risky behavior. Greens last 5 seconds and it takes 5 seconds to ad, If you eat the green you set your self up for instant death if the guy ad's and bursts. If you do the 5 count waiting for possible ad then the green is gone. It would be nice if greens lasted for 10 seconds, so could spray area with bullets and count to 5, then eat the green. Quote
Unix Posted November 1, 2012 Report Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) As far as I know, the green disappearing and him not showing up immediately means that he has no AD. The green itself is a good timer to see if the player has AD or not since he will spawn basically right when the green vanishes. You can easily gobble up the green and fall back a bit and there should be plenty of nearby greens when your own team dies near you, which will generally be a lot safer. Complaining because you cant fallback and get the green after you know it's safe is kind of silly. Considering you are using Ripper turret, you actually want to be pretty close to that AD spot anyways. Also there's no guarantee he'll be spawning from AD near that green either. There are plenty of spots where it'll be safe to go after the green even if they have AD. As long as you know how to position yourself to minimize damage from bursts you'll be fine.

cxc Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Posted November 2, 2012 I have gotten rather good at counting to five, greens get eaten so can not rely on them. Eating team greens is not a good idea, somone just died there. I do not usually have enough time to thrust foward, eat green, then thrust back and get in good position. Need to start fireing like 2 seconds before ad for guns to be effective. For the ripper i try to be at the max range of the ripper from the ad player, the farther away the better. Usually the only greens i get are the rushers who die behind the lines. And now it is only greens of rushers who ad i know is down. Getting to eat greens was an advantage i remember discovering with coils. I think it is the biggest adv coils offers, i always seemed to have a repel for coffins/bullets when i needed them. Quote
spidernl Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 Indeed. Making it completely risk-free to gobble up greens was one of the advantages of Radiating Coils. Shows just how overpowered it was, no? Quote
