#Trophy Systems should block RPGs

It seems right, but the cost/benefit equation of that would be HEAVILY skewed on trophy side, given that it alredy invalidates any grenades

If you're too lazy to read it, I said that it should be a completely different device entirely.
And that it should divert the rocket, not send it to the shadow realm.

Trophy going through walls be like

Like the C4 suggestion, i'm against it because it would make them too strong depending on the place you put them, choke points etc.
Or it needs a drawback, like the trophy being destroyed after blocking X ammount of grenades etc, even that wouldn't be a huge drawback as support can easily place an other one, but you get the idea

If you throw grenade at an arch over a group hiding amongst trophies, the aoe will do damage
remote aurora
throw it at an arc not at it
sharp pilot
still does it, if it detonates outside its range, thats outside the power of the trophy, what does this have to do with RPGs?
remote aurora
Just saying aoe will still do damage
it will only remove the projectile if its in range
sharp pilot
so it is doing its job, mitigating damage to its capabilities.
remote aurora
yes its not invincible
sharp pilot
who said it was?
granite shuttle
is this meant to solve rpg spam?
remote aurora
some folks are implying that it gives god mode or something
sharp pilot
you can shoot it, you can blow it up with a well-timed nade, you can hit it with a car
remote aurora
@granite shuttle yeah need something to deal with that
sharp pilot
yeet c4 at it
sharp pilot
a completely separate device should be designed to thwart rockets, having it in the same package as an anti-throwable would be overpowered.

It was kind of ignored when i said in the other thread that trophies should block bullets, would be pretty cool imo.
granite shuttle
<@409755607298473994> yeah need something to deal with that
you should solve the problem by its root, heat rpg is way too versatile and spammable

Ever played Planetside?
there's a system in that game, adds a rechargable cost to ordinance weaponry

wish this was suggested in a 2 in 1 manner c4 and RPG thingy
sharp pilot
C4 spam can be mitigated easily if the amount of C4 available to the medic was reduced from 6 to 2-3
fading saffron
yeah I made the same suggestion in #1178376805955153920 in regards to how many C4 people can get
3 seems like a good fit
sharp pilot
3 is a good max number.
solid fulcrum
someones gonna cry about 3 since its still enough to 1 bang tanks

What c4 spam?
sharp pilot
What c4 spam?
you can choose to not see matters, i agree.
frigid sinew
The only time i ever c4 without 100% knowing where someone is is on waki bridge
remote aurora
Tbh, I don't mind C4 as a support player. If a player is able to get close to my position and detonate it, its his win. High risk high reward 💪
But rpgs are just stupid, engis can carry 7 rpgs and just spam the shit out of them

thats not true. Number is 6 at the max and our loadouts slow us down.
remote aurora
I was sure it was 7
sharp pilot
it used to be 7, before EA
remote aurora
Maybe I'll have to check again but 6 rpgs are still a lot
fading saffron
isn't it 7 if you count the one in the rocket already?
remote aurora
isn't it 7 if you count the one in the rocket already?
good point
sharp pilot
no, its 6
go in game and check
as for spamming them, you still need to reload the thing manually, and nothing quickens the pace there.
I shoot my rockets primarily from moving helis
fading saffron
eh tbh I dont mind if the trophy doesn't block RPGs
remote aurora
👀 we also reload our weapons manually and our loadouts are slow from the get go
fading saffron
when people place trophys its most of the time when theres a bunch of sandbag cover
so the sandbags already have a high chance of blocking them
sharp pilot
eh tbh I dont mind if the trophy doesn't block RPGs
doesnt need to block it, just divert it
fading saffron
maybe when Oki makes the Frag actually useful for anti-infantry maybe then it would be fair for trophy to block those shots
sharp pilot
a portable concave shield would be nice but that would ruin the the theme of battlebit
on the other hand, we could always get a riotshield
sharp pilot
oh its very buggy
remote aurora
sometimes it doesn't render on an enemy and you dump your mags wondering wtf is happening
then you get third partied
sharp pilot
that's not riot shield not loading in, that's hitreg going to shiet
not many people run riot shield
remote aurora
No like I just see guy standing with no riot shield and shoot him
but after death when he comes closer, his riot shield loads
sharp pilot
oh, that is render pipeline, might want to report that in #game-bugs
remote aurora
👀 will check that out then
sharp pilot
that said, riotshield has its weaknesses
like the peek-hole you can snipe through
or shooting at legs
remote aurora
I just run through them since thats a thing
granite shuttle
Could just reduce number of rpgs by 1, decrease cone angle or aoe significantly and increase vehicle damage to have the same possible max dmg.
Rpg spam reduced with almost no impact on vehicle balance?
remote aurora
🤔 Thats a great suggestion
remote aurora
@granite shuttle could you suggest that ? I will ask to close this one then.
