Dont remove collapsing buildings from overhaul

[finite narwhal]

its one of those features that dont really seem significant but is really nice to have

[umbral remnant]

It is not a real big deal

I would not even go against removal of half of weapons, if it was for successful earlier update release

[real abyss]

It.. actually is a big deal. It gives attackers a way to destroy buildings so defenders can’t use that same spot the whole game

The problem lies in how quick it is to destroy buildings on certain maps, not the mechanic itself

[queen cypress]

Also on some maps it just becomes a flatland once the majority have fully collapsed

And they leave barely any cover

Which vilaskis changed to leave more rubble to fix that

But hey who needs destructable buildings amirite

[sly berry]

Not really

It almost never fully destroys many buildings

Usually when I’ve played people only fully collapse a few buildings per match

[queen cypress]

Clearly you have never played eduardovo, salhan or azagor

[real abyss]

As palma said it’s more map dependent

[sly berry]

I just don’t remember

I haven’t played in a while

[real abyss]

Tbf I havent either

[sly berry]

I’m new color

New yellow

[real abyss]

But edu domination (because everyone spams explosives on the B building), old namak, azagor, salhan, hell even lonovo

Once those buildings collapse the very flat nature of the maps begin to show

Of course, one could argue this ties into bad map design aspects too, which im not disagreeing with that point either

But those buildings tend to just implode too fast (for 127 standards anyways) and the destroyed state doesn’t give much to work with

[sly berry]

Wait

Idea

What if destroyed buildings start smoking

[real abyss]

But at the same time, they need to implode, otherwise it shifts too far in the other direction

[sly berry]

To provide cover

And not just be totally useless

[real abyss]

I wouldn’t mind smoke with the collapse tbh, but we’d probably still need a collaspe mechanic instead of outright disabling it

[sly berry]

Yes that’s what I mean

[queen cypress]

At the bare minimum collapsed buildings should provide more cover (and maybe more unique collapsed states for POIs and such)
