Orbital Laser - Please Fix


(pumpkinmeerkat) #1

Some time ago the orbital laser was changed to make it easier to call in near walls. This change also made the laser difficult to control on/near many objects on the map including the EV. It’s been a problem for a while now, would be great to see it fixed.

IMO the wall mechanic should be removed entirely since it takes control away from the player.

Actually, wall calls are extremely vital to both Kira and Arty to call in a direct strikes behind enemies or to get it into cheeky spots. Removing would basically make the two useless.

Unless you’re talking about how the laser comes down about a foot from the wall when you call it in.

If kira couldn’t wall cast laser she’d die alot more, being able to call laser behind a corner and not getting that 90 hp shot at is amazing

Yes, the laser lands slightly away from the wall when called in. This also causes it to move randomly off of objects like the EV.

Oh, that’s what you were talking about. Yes, that needs a fix since the laser freaks out whenever you move it along a wall.

Maybe eliminate the hitbox of the EV when targeting with the lazer and/or arty’s strikes? It’d make it a lot easier to land them spot on without requiring too much tweaking in regards to general usage.
