Shoot the Highest Health Players for Less Death Waiting Time

[thorny girder]

This is for the devs

Add an optional (or even make it the main) mode to shoot only the highest health players.

I know it's the strategy to shoot the lowest health player but man if you're that person and die on the first round, you have to wait a long time for the next round. And it's not fun to wait for a long time and do nothing.

By shooting the highest health person, not only make all players play the round for longer, it also reduces the death waiting time because by the time everyone is at low health, players will die one by one in a short amount of time and the round will end sooner, leading to next round where the players revive.

If you're playing multiplayer roulettes right now, please follow this rule if you can. It will make the game more enjoyable for all players.

Thanks for reading. This is a genuine feedback (after many games of unlucky streak) that I think will improve the game a lot.

Shoot the Highest Health Players for Less Death Waiting Time

If more than 1 player have the same amount of health, the shooter can choose who to shoot. The game will not let you shoot the lowest health player.

This comes in another strategy to intentionally losing or gaining health to make the shooters choose instead of guaranteed shot.

This removes a good bit of charm this game has, normally you get to make temporary friends and possibly betray them
Only being able to shoot one guy removes a lot of freedom and removes possible plays you can do to stay in the game + this can also be abused by the same highest-health guy if you can't shoot yourself either

real

[royal jungle]

as an option maybe, but as a replacement for the main mode hell no

[proud field]

Nah

[viscid shore]

terrible idea haha

[tired sorrel]

crazy pfp

[edgy hatch]

This is a salty man’s take

[thorny girder]

You can still shoot yourself. Just not other low health players

I know it will lose it's charm but right now, players can just gang up on a person and they cant do anything to prevent it, either unlucky draw of items and/or unlucky turn order. It's not fun having to wait for others to die, just to get to next round and pray that you're not the target again.

they will most likely leave the game immediately and if that person is the host, the game will end the game prematurely. So the host has an advantgae because players will not shoot them because they're afraid they will leave the game and end the game

"gang up on a person" bluds getting cyberbullied already

[stark creek]

it is how it is. it's a gambling game, you can get unlucky. i think the real problem is that there is nothing to do while waiting for the round to end

[tardy plinth]

Once you've been selected as the target by the whole group, nothing will save you.

[thorny girder]

yeah, maybe there's a mini roulette game you can play with other dead players to make it less boring to wait

[tardy plinth]

One thing is gambling for what shells you get. Another is gambling for whether you get to play at all or not, before the match even begins.

The way I see it, there's no reason not to add this as a lobby setting, so people can choose whether they want it on or off.

I ran some tests with friends, by the way. The rule for shooting only the highest HP players or yourself works out pretty well. The items still allow for a lot of strategy, and everyone gets to play for a fair amount of turns.

[thorny girder]

that's why i added in my post "Add an optional (or even make it the main)..." because I know players would still want the current game mode

yeah, i tested out my rule on my first game and it was pretty fun. There is still a bit of gambling since you know, the roulette!

[stark creek]

yea this can be added as a setting for sure, i just dont see many people using it frankly

Perhaps another potential solution to people getting focus fired is to make another setting that only lets you shoot your neighbors (cannot shoot the person directly across the table). That way there is less of a chance of someone getting instantly eliminated and more opportunities for ingame ""relationships"" that would draw fire away from that lobby victim

[tardy plinth]

That'd be cool too, yea.

tbh some of you guys complain to much about who gets shot its a game doesnt matter if you get targeted honestly by making it so you cant shoot the lowest health play makes it less fun for the others so just dont complain about bejng targeted its a game

[flat elbow]

I think live shells should be removed from multiplayer, it makes the game so unfun, also items such as handsaw are so unfriendly to others, leave just beers and cigs so everyone can have a fun party time and make friends, this is what the game should be about
