" I do not remember how was that issue resolved, or if it was resolved at all. My brain goes crap on me regarding this one, and I have not visited other servers much before 1.3, but there is one thing I am sure about: it is all coming back."
Kero are you retarded? The issue of spam in 1.2 wasnât an issue to begin with. the only weapons that were spammy were tsunami, razorpine, blizzard, and terrablade. And even then, Tsunami wasnât auto fire, Razorpine did like 20 damage, Blizzard was easy to avoid, and terrablade was bad without intense melee speed, which 1.3 has provided.
" if we keep banning strong weapons one after the another, we might get to the point where nothing really does any damage at all, or when there are only two to five usable, primary weapons "
For one, why the hell does that concern you? The only weapon youâre smart enough to use properly is Sniper, and you ABUSE sniper. For another, if we ban weapons that deal the most damage, then weâll have to either take out the 1200hp plugin, or we can just remove some of the accessories that give the defense, like worm scarf, or even just Endurance Potion. Seriously most people only use two to three primary weapons anyways, so nothing is changing.
" If an entire tier of weapons gets wiped out, there may be new overpowered weapons from the tier below, and rather interestingly, we now deal not with overpoweredness per se (it was a rare thing back then, only Coin Gun was TRULY overpowered), but with spammy weapons that are manageable yet unpleasant. "
Kero, Vortex Beater wasnât manageable. Thatâs the fucking issue. If youâd read about it some more youâd realize that because o f itâs inaccuracy, itâs insanely easy to spam, and chunk people with. It was banned not because it was insanely strong, but because of the insane poke versatility it can provide while still dealing insane damage.
There were many weapons in 1.2 that were truely overpowered, but not many had to be dealt with because 1.2 was balanced. Coin Gun is only unfair with platinum coins. At the time, Gold Coins were managable. Tsunami + Chlorophyte arrows was INSANELY good in cqc in 1.2 as well, as was snowman cannon. Even if we disregard everything I just said, Vortex Beater is still insanely irritating, and as such, makes the whole metagame tons more fun to play in with it out of the way. It encourages more skill, and helps those with skill to have fun once in a damn while.
âI remember 1.2 having more useful weapons, however, many of them were spam based and would be banned nowâ
No, Kero, youâre being dumb.
There was little in 1.2 that was spam based. Tsunami, Blizzard, Snowman Cannon at worst, and most places had snowman cannon banned anyways.
Honestly Kero, you havenât ever changed your playstyle, and from what Iâve seen about you, you seem like someone who doesnât give 2 shits about anyone but yourself, so why are you being so butthurt over a few balancing acts? If anything weâre making it easier for you, so why are you protesting so much?
OH WAIT, THATâS RIGHT, I PROPOSED WE NERF THE ONLY WEAPON YOUâVE EVER TOUCHED.
Sorry that Iâm being so rude to you, but you honestly need to take your head outa your ass man.
Bad day for me, and now itâs not just my problem either.
Oh, and next time Kero, maybe just state your point simply and quickly instead of making 2 whole pages of your walls of text. Itâs kind of a pain. This thread was made to suggest new items to modify, not to argue about you being butthurt over good changes.
