IMPOSSIBLE

gilded token
#

This game makes my brain completely shut down sometimes

umbral carbon
#

this is a very basic example of what I mean

mystic hamlet
#

yeah but a person with 500 hours who practices juking enemies and recoil control is gonna be better than someone with 500 hours who just goes in and plays the game

umbral carbon
#

the latter is still more experienced than someone with 100 hours, no?

gilded token
#

juking makes this game so unfun

umbral carbon
#

that was my original point

mystic hamlet
#

i mean yeah

umbral carbon
#

you are correct

mystic hamlet
#

but playtime is not the only factor

digital ice
#

even for tryhards

#

sometimes they just wanna chill

umbral carbon
#

casual gameplay is good

#

I do that a lot

gilded token
#

I only really focus my brain in if I'm a civ and I'm doing well or being an SCP

hidden wave
#

it means "oh that's where checkpoint is" and then you go run over there

gilded token
#

Playing militant roles my brain just shuts the fuck off

mystic hamlet
#

I find it a lot more fun. I'm interacting with players way more instead of just b-hopping around the map grabbing everything I can

umbral carbon
#

I've only actually started aim training a tiny bit as of last weekish

#

about 2100 hours were played with no exterior practice

#

and I still had a good time

gilded token
#

Honestly, late game and being a militant role makes me feel so brain dead

umbral carbon
#

late game is the most fun for me

gilded token
#

While shit I enjoy early game way more than I do being a militant

umbral carbon
#

specifically as MTF going into chaos spawns

mystic hamlet
umbral carbon
#

churger are you muted

#

@amber bone

#

I just checked your profile churger

umbral carbon
#

I'm not a med major but I did anat/physiology for scioly in high school

#

cortosol affects isulin production and allat

#

pancreas and all that

mystic hamlet
#

low cortisol apparently causes abdominal pain

#

somehow

umbral carbon
#

again, not a doctor

umbral carbon
#

if there's one thing I've learned from my year doing scioly it's that your body has a billion different things going on and it WILL tell you if something's fucked up

mystic hamlet
#

30 minutes of playing SL seriously vs 30 hours of playing SL casually

umbral carbon
#

I have never understood the disdain for people who play the game seriously

#

it'd be like harping on FNV players for roleplaying a bit or choosing a side instead of optimizing it

hidden wave
#

fnv is singleplayer

#

how you play doesn't affect other players

mystic hamlet
#

i don't mind whehn people do it but I just find it less interesting

umbral carbon
#

they're the magic sauce

gilded token
#

I can enjoy taking the game seriously but it has to have some RP to it

umbral carbon
#

I found the most success by playing to """"win"""" (personal wins: kill other players, round end screen irrelevant) but until recently I didn't actually practice the game or such outside of that

#

in terms of having fun

#

if you say the gunplay is lacklustre I'm going to cry

gilded token
#

I agree with cheesechurger that the game is at it's best when there's people fucking around

umbral carbon
#

casual objective play

gilded token
umbral carbon
#

uh

#

get a bit better I suppose?

#

but I guess if you don't enjoy guns it is what it is

#

I found it less fun when I was bad at it

gilded token
#

The gunplay isn't bad

umbral carbon
#

these guys make no sense

gilded token
#

The gunplay just isn't my favorite in this game

umbral carbon
#

"173 is trying to lose HP for more shield in the end-game"

#

isn't how shield works

mystic hamlet
#

it still kinda feels like i'm shooting airsoft guns

umbral carbon
#

what builds are you using

gilded token
mystic hamlet
#

it's better than before, yes, but there's still room for improvement imo

umbral carbon
gilded token
#

Once again, I will complain that the white hitmark isn't good enough feedback that makes me feel like I did something

mystic hamlet
#

i'm not talking about stats

mystic hamlet
umbral carbon
#

if your guns are built poorly then they feel pretty poor

sturdy dawn
gilded token
#

The shotgun will never not make me sad

sturdy dawn
#

i have replay buffer always on

gilded token
#

It's the WORST feeling shotgun I've ever used in a video game

umbral carbon
#

guns feel very snappy if you've got good builds

mystic hamlet
#

add some blood effects or something else besides a white hit marker

umbral carbon
#

Shotgun feels very clunky

sturdy dawn
umbral carbon
#

weird double shots to pump

gilded token
#

I would rather just have a normal pump action

sturdy dawn
#

shotgun be like

gilded token
#

Plus its reload is so painstakingly long

mystic hamlet
umbral carbon
#

it just has clunky anims and sound design

mystic hamlet
#

deadass the blunderbuss in SoT plays better than SL's shotgun

umbral carbon
#

being able to two-tap heavy armor is nice

sturdy dawn
#

nerf blaster ahh

umbral carbon
#

it's just that you have awful sounds

#

and the shape

mystic hamlet
#

nerf miner

umbral carbon
#

hooo boy the shape

gilded token
#

I really wish they used a different shotgun because it's boring as fuck looking AND it's a bullpup shotgun

gilded token
#

I love that the shotgun is just a big censor bar

umbral carbon
#

the shotgun is meh because it's not fun looking but the rest of the weapons are all great

#

the neat thing about SL is that the guns are statted in a way that means that even bad SL guns are pretty alright (barring vec)

#

vec has issues with JHP sometimes.

#

the AK is a good weapon IDK what you're smoking

gilded token
#

I just wish the AK and shotgun were visually appealing

#

The AK's design hurts me

umbral carbon
#

churger what BS are you putting in your AK builds

paper lake
#

Nothing is as satisfying as a headshot kill with an AK

gilded token
umbral carbon
#

well, E11

#

that being said I'm hitting shots I have no right to hit

#

idk if it's the ping, or?

gilded token
#

mostly because when the revolver shoots it feels powerful

umbral carbon
#

but ping works against shots

paper lake
prisma crescent
#

AK is fine enough but I wish you could make it look like a AK-47

gilded token
#

Shotgun doesn't feel good in any capacity

paper lake
gilded token
#

The shotgun and AK are boring in design

prisma crescent
#

The SL Shotgun might be the worse shotgun in any real game I have ever played.

gilded token
#

and known world wide for rational decisions

paper lake
gilded token
#

Yes

#

Nyet, rifle is fine

prisma crescent
#

Also there is a SCP that's a Choas owned AK-47 I'm pretty sure.

Get some chain mail Armour

#

A CI with a longsword would be so fucking epic though

deft cargo
umbral carbon
#

roman shields

prisma crescent
gilded token
#

The CI only use the AKs because the AKs are the bad guy weapons

prisma crescent
#

Next update the Chaos will just be a bunch of gorillas.

paper lake
gilded token
#

They would use AKs in real life because they are very reliable guns

gilded token
#

Allow me to use guerilla warfare as a CI

paper lake

gilded token
#

Let me set up booby traps

prime fossil
#

half life tripwires and turrets

paper lake
#

Guerrilla warfare would be so much fun though

prime fossil
#

completely revamp the game and create half life multiplayer

chrome summit
#

Chaos using their big brains and made their own AK and then retrofitted their Logicers to use the same chamber

prisma crescent
#

"No, I don’t have any clue why the Insurgency would be using revolvers in a modern combat scenario."

prime fossil
#

the chaos just go for cool factor

paper lake
gilded token
#

Yes obviously

prime fossil
paper lake
#

Make it an AK-12 or smth

gilded token
prime fossil
#

it is in my heart

chrome summit
#

I mean. Even though the Revolver isn't the greatest choice.

#

The OpGuide does state it is efficient

gilded token
#

and the shotgun is the worst feeling shotgun in a video game I've ever used

chrome summit
#

When someone runs they just casually pull it out and boom. Shot to the head.

hollow cloak
#

I've been loving current shotgun

prime fossil
#

let's give the shotgun the functionality of the half life shotgun

hollow cloak
#

hold on I have a great clip from earlier on PEARS

umbral carbon
#

being able to two-shot heavy armor is very strong

prime fossil
#

remove the ability to zoom with the shotgun and replace it with the 2x shot

prisma crescent
#

Also I didn't even say actually add the 47 just be able to make the AK look like is so it doesn't look so bland.

gilded token
chrome summit
#

The Revolver seems like it was chosen for quick kills for runaways and scare factor

paper lake
mystic hamlet
prisma crescent
gilded token
#

Yeah it seems the CI goes for more psychological warfare with their weapons

prime fossil
#

I love shouting nothing after every shotgun kill because I'm gordon freeman

paper lake
gilded token
#

just read the logicer OPG

chrome summit
#

Like sure. A rifle shooting down a runaway is effective

#

But someone just casually pulling out a Revolver and just one pull

umbral carbon
#

click?

chrome summit
#

Pull

#

Whatever

mystic hamlet
umbral carbon
#

you goober

chrome summit
#

Im tired

umbral carbon
#

yeah fair

#

b/c of sub 2?

chrome summit

I spent 5 fucking hours reevaluating Subnautica Fauna AI

umbral carbon

oh no.

Did you know Crashfish can attack Stalkers

paper lake
umbral carbon
#

also terran if I send you the CSS to changelogs for stuff would you be able to just paste that in after the sub 2 stuff dies down?

chrome summit
#

Yeah. In the very common scenario of a Stalker entering their cave

mystic hamlet
prime fossil
chrome summit
#

Technically, they can attack any shark

umbral carbon
chrome summit

But good luck getting an ampeel over there

#

Anyways

prisma crescent

“The Insurgency’s choices of small arms baffle me. This is best exemplified in their choice of standard rifle. Using an AK-platform rifle isn’t a poor choice by any means. What I find odd, is the furniture attached to the rifles. From what I can tell, the handguard and rail mount are both entirely proprietary. They don’t match any mass-produced aftermarket accessory I know of, implying they were either custom-ordered or made by the Insurgency.
I have no clue how, or why, they have fashioned their rifles this way. Not to mention where they sourced the manufacturing strength needed to produce these accessories. Judging by all the other attachments I find on recovered rifles, it seems they had modularity in mind. Perhaps they were trying to compete with the Foundation’s own E-11 rifle? If that’s the case, I’d say it fell a bit short.”

prime fossil
#

how many crashfish does it take to take out a reaper

chrome summit
chrome summit
umbral carbon
#

yeah that's what I meant

dense nova
#

if i were the insurgency i'd probably crack a beer open and watch the foundation fumble at their attempts to contain a loose ball

umbral carbon
#

I'll have to go look into that but I think it's doable

prime fossil
hollow cloak
chrome summit
#

They're classified as leviathans by the game. Not as sharks. So crashfish ignore them. :p

umbral carbon
jagged radish
umbral carbon
#

because it three-shots heavy armor, and as soon as you run it you will run into 5 repressors/captains

chrome summit
#

But yeah. Once everything dies done with SN 2 I can go back to SL Wiki

prime fossil
dense nova
#

when light containment gets redesigned i hope it also has the wackiness that heavy containment has at times

jagged radish
dense nova
#

like heavy containment zone is a fever dream

chrome summit
#

If you want

cunning sigil
#

is pears 5 still going?

chrome summit
mystic hamlet
#

y'all remember Pixel Gun 3D?

prime fossil
#

light containment is probably gonna look like a nice laboratory

mystic hamlet
#

they released a continuation of the campaign like 2 weeks ago

dense nova
#

realistically speaking the SL heavy containment zone is probably the most inefficient design for a facility ever

#

ignoring the fact it changes every 20 mins

prisma crescent
prime fossil
prisma crescent
#

IDK if SL has a reason for it being so awful.

jagged radish
mystic hamlet
#

yeah

#

and they are (for some reason) making a Pixel Gun 2

jagged radish
dense nova
#

new HCZ is so much fun to play gameplay-wise but opening some doors in heavy feels like when you step into a room that's bigger on the inside than the outside

prime fossil
#

heavy having rails to transport boxes that get stopped by small doors that can't allow said objects to pass through

jagged radish
#

HCZ so good until you get that one bullshit layout where both parts of heavy are only connected by like one obscure hallway

prime fossil
jagged radish
#

Idk what layout that is out of them but it’s terrible

dense nova
#

well now compare that to the idea i heard someone suggest of making EZ into two separate zones for different checkpoints and NOW you've got a problem

#

never let the community cook

prime fossil
#

this is how we get SL 2

dense nova
#

okay tbh though i kinda like the idea though

meager sparrow
#

You can check iirc

jagged radish
#

I’m not doing all of that bro

#

Lmao

mystic hamlet
#

so NW when can we expect swole 049?

meager sparrow
jagged radish
#

049 needs to start hitting the gym

#

That’s when

chrome summit
#

!wiki Heavy Containment Zone #Map Layouts

dense nova
#

Site-02's design wavers from "civilian working area" to "maintenance factory tunnels" so i mean if you had 1/2 of EZ with Gate A that included more civilian designed rooms and another half of EZ with Gate B that had some minor maintenance rooms and such then it might work

#

but also

#

who the fuck gonna want that

#

EZ's fine as one zone lol

mystic hamlet
#

hi flerk

prime fossil
foggy summit
#

What's new in pears 5

jagged radish
#

EZ does need a rework but not all of that

dense nova
prime fossil
#

base game EZ is useless because the loot sucks and if you get in there, there's nothing for you

dense nova
#

most important update of pears 5 is making the LCZ decontamination ACTUALLY 15 minutes

prime fossil
prisma crescent
#

TBH apart from SCP-956, pears seems way more exciting then Mega Patch 3.

jagged radish
#

If anything makes it out of PEARS it should be the actual 15 minute decontamination

shadow dune
#

i love my 11 minute and 7 second decontamination though

prime fossil
dense nova
shadow dune
prime fossil
meager sparrow
#

That uppercut is crazy

jagged radish
dense nova
#

pears adds ~20 new rooms to LCZ if i had to estimate

meager sparrow
prime fossil
prisma crescent
shadow dune
#

11 minute decon is fine in base game cause LCZ is tiny
15 minute makes more sense now that LCZ is a real zone and not 5 rooms big

prisma crescent
#

I really don't care about the surfce rework tbh.

dense nova
prisma crescent
#

Atleast compated to PEARs.

When is the next PEARS test and what will it cover?

The ongoing PEARS Session (PEARS 5) is available for Tier 3+ Patreon Supporters!
It focuses on an early game overhaul, with the second session starting <t:1777662000:R>
Click here for the Changelog

What is PEARS?

Patreon Early Access Rebalancing Sessions are experimental testing sessions offered to Patreon Supporters which allows the development team to experiment with concepts in a prototype state without affecting the development cycle of an upcoming update.
Feedback gathered from these sessions will help determine whether these ideas are worth pursuing, but does not guarantee they will be implemented into the live game

dense nova
#

okay i feel like PEARS is the equivalent of throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks and it turns out that we were actually throwing darts at the wall and they all hit the bullseye at the same time

jagged radish
#

PEARS only good if you care about meeting the other Patreon supporters

prime fossil

PEARS feels like a regular official game lol

except the people are a little nicer

meager sparrow
jagged radish
#

I know he still plays though, he was probably on when PEARS started earlier today. Unfortunately I had way too much shit to do

dense nova
#

if there's any reason to buy patreon its to play alongside northwood staff so you can beat them in a gunfight

#

prove your superiority or whatever

#

stroke your ego

prime fossil
lilac sandal
#

wait question

#

how does the infiltrator look with armor

dense nova
#

i think people like pears more than they do the upcoming megapatch because PEARS genuinely changes the entire flow of the game in a way that MOST people ive seen enjoy

prime fossil
dense nova
#

like

#

there's 8 rooms that are just greyboxes

dense nova
#

give or take

paper lake
meager sparrow
#

Which is like, gonna take years

lilac sandal
prime fossil
#

pretty sure infiltrator looks like a black ops from opposer's forces

meager sparrow
#

larp?

paper lake
dense nova
#

i mean its not just an LCZ rework but also an EZ rework, a keycard rework, a class rework, an overall early-game rework, a new sublevel, and portions of an HCZ rework

prisma crescent
#

And nothing else.

#

Where Pears changes everything.

prime fossil
meager sparrow
paper lake
#

Don’t remember if it was fixed, but first time I played it, the helmet would be visible on in the viewmodel to spectators looking through that player

prisma crescent
#

The surface rework doesn't even really matter since everyone is just going to rush to EZ which is in a worse place the surface.

meager sparrow
dense nova
#

in northwood's defense its about time they make surface gameplay interesting

meager sparrow
#

So LCZ rework will take a very long time

prisma crescent
#

EZ is worse then it is in CB 😭

paper lake
#

So at the very top of the spectated player’s perspective, you can see the helmet of an infilrator player wearing combat armour

meager sparrow
prisma crescent
meager sparrow
#

genuinely annoying

prime fossil
#

gorgon freemann is the class-d, kleiner is the scientist, chaos is the hecku, and infiltrators are the blackops

dense nova
#

the entire reason new HCZ works is because there are strategic points and you can actually hide and think and have a chance to navigate around enemies

dense nova
#

surface zone right now in game is like

paper lake
#

SL removed all the fun parts of EZ

dense nova
#

the antithesis to that

prisma crescent
paper lake
#

Surface definitely needed a rework first

dense nova
#

on surface if you aren't next to an elevator and someone's coming for you YOU ARE DEAD

prime fossil
#

I'd like it if SL had more SCPs like 330 sitting in HCZ and LCZ

prisma crescent
meager sparrow
#

More random scps that you can die to

prisma crescent
dense nova
meager sparrow
#

I'd love random bullshit

dense nova
#

guys

prime fossil
#

I am

dense nova
#

so pears 5 adds these new rooms to LCZ which are like TC-01 but they're just empty test rooms

meager sparrow
dense nova
#

and they sometimes spawn with a keycard

#

anyways i think these rooms are the PERFECT addition for more 330-esque concepts

prisma crescent
#

Please have useless funny stuff to play around with.

dense nova
#

and it makes more sense and more benefit when you consider the longer time for LCZ to be open and active

paper lake
#

Im not sure about deliberately funny items like 420-J in SL
I rather things like 330 which when you think about it, is kinda horrifying. Imagine losing your hands. But can be used for funny purposes

meager sparrow
#

For funny useless stuff

prime fossil
#

sadly those rooms haven't been created to connect with other hallways, which is possible but too late for PEARS

paper lake
#

I feel like items like 420-J kinda just feel forced

chrome summit
#

They are

dense nova
#

like

#

its kind of a forced concept

prime fossil
chrome summit
#

261 would be so much cooler

prisma crescent
#

And for fun game play scenarios.

prime fossil
#

SCP-294 would be really annoying to make ngl

paper lake
prime fossil
prisma crescent
#

Stuff like the safe SCPs in CB light zone.

chrome summit
#

People only ask for 294 cause CB had it

#

When 261 exists and is far more interesting

prisma crescent
#

294 would suck.

paper lake
#

I believe the humour of SL derives from how we make light of all the horror in it

meager sparrow
#

Add SCP 001 to SL

prime fossil
prisma crescent
#

They should re add the 294 room but not add it the SCP it's.

chrome summit
#

I want the vending machine that dispenses an entire microwave

paper lake
#

Some guy walking down a hallway talking then gets randomly jumped by 939. Can’t help but laugh at it

dense nova
chrome summit
prisma crescent
prime fossil
chrome summit
#

Especially one that clips into everything

dense nova
#

also the 294 room is kinda designed like shit im gonna be real

prime fossil
dense nova
#

from a multiplayer perspective it's a death trap

meager sparrow
prisma crescent
chrome summit
#

Im not level design

#

It's up to them whenever they rework EZ

chrome summit
#

Personally I just want 261

prime fossil
#

I like how CB designs a lot of rooms with a walkway and a lower section, it makes the site feel so much larger than the playable area

chrome summit
#

Because I want to carry around a microwave in the game

prisma crescent
paper lake
#

Ngl, I hate the phrase “Item appears to be X”

prisma crescent
paper lake
#

Like, you tested it. You should know if it is or is not

prisma crescent
#

???

prime fossil
prisma crescent
#

What's your point?

prime fossil
prime fossil
#

you responded to what I said with random words

chrome summit
#

Adding content for the sake of just adding it can lean into bloat

dense nova
#

the thing about SCP is that they can't confirm anything

paper lake
#

I get that its SCP and anything can happen

chrome summit
#

Funny items really do not work outside CB or events

prime fossil
chrome summit
#

There is a reason coal and snowballs are only in events

paper lake
#

But its a story first and foremost. The writing matters

#

How its written is important

dense nova
prisma crescent
prime fossil
#

best part of SCP-079 is when the original storage 079 had was suspiciously effective at storing 079

paper lake
#

And a line like “It appears to me” just takes me out of it

chrome summit
#

Coal is completely novel

#

Coal? is not

dense nova
#

so when it's written as "Appears to be" they're leaning into the fact that even the most obvious facet of an object, its identity, is unknown

chrome summit
#

Snowballs are there just for fun as well

dense nova
#

which is part of the horror aspect

chrome summit
#

But really. All three are there just for fun

prisma crescent
#

Yeah but it's just something shitty to throw.

dense nova
#

the most powerful organization in the world, hidden from everyone in order to protect its population, isn't even able to confirm whether or not a vending machine is a vending machine

prisma crescent
#

It isn't like a SCP or anything.

chrome summit
#

Which is why it is only in events

prime fossil
#

candy is way sillier than it should be, but I guess we're okay with that

chrome summit
#

And how does making a novel thing an SCP make it better?

paper lake
meager sparrow
#

screw scp items

Add dogs to SL so we can bully 953 into submission

dense nova
meager sparrow
#

there, said it

paper lake
#

There’s plenty of non horror articles

#

Hell there’s a ton of romance pieces these days as well

prime fossil
#

SCP is just a big community that helps people get their ideas into a space welcoming of them

prisma crescent
paper lake
#

And I quite enjoy the political articles

jagged radish
chrome summit
#

Sure it is cool

dense nova
#

the idea of SCP at its core is the paranormal though, which while i concede is more often than not interpreted beyond horror, remains at its core "paranormal" QUITE LITERALLY MEANING "not normal"

chrome summit
#

It really depends how it is done

jagged radish
chrome summit
#

4088 is in game

#

But in audio only

#

Which is a great way to handle it

meager sparrow
paper lake
chrome summit
#

But having a room with just an SCP in it that doesn't do anything (or only kills you) is not good for the game imo

fiery salmonBOT
paper lake
#

The label of the story depends on the author

#

Not everything needs to link back to horror

dense nova
#

so you can say its stupid that they write "appears to be" but how can you confirm that an anomaly that dispenses "Diet Ghost" is actually a vending machine beyond just looks?

paper lake
#

Sometimes we’re allowed a happy ending

prime fossil
#

4088 canonically flies off into site-19 and blows it up?

dense nova
#

its not even about the horror when they write that

#

its about the paranormal

prime fossil
#

I believe the only issue with "appears to be" is that it's used so much that nobody can take it seriously

chrome summit
#

Magister, I am requesting we bring a piano to Site-02

paper lake
prisma crescent
#

Stuff like that.

paper lake
#

Anyway, minor nitpicks

chrome summit
#

That just sounds annoying

prime fossil
#

if 008 was added I'd like it to just lock people who enter inside if they get infected

chrome summit
#

Someone going into 008's room just to spread it

dense nova
paper lake
#

Not that important. Personally I won’t write a line like that unless the subject matter is something truly unknown that can’t easily be investigated

chrome summit
#

If your own teammate is doing it. You cant do crap then.

prisma crescent
#

Also something like 012 be turning on by 079 like in CB.

prime fossil
#

maybe like, if someone got infected by 008, someone else has to activate a decontamination in the control room

chrome summit
#

Again. This frels like adding content for the sake of it

dense nova
#

the first sentence of the description typically describes the initial entity (the -1) in visual context

prime fossil
chrome summit
#

And not something that actually adds to the game

prisma crescent
#

Your just adding stuff to the game!

paper lake
chrome summit
paper lake
#

It contributes to the game and has value

dense nova
#

guys if you want new SCPs to be added to the game then why dont you just go make your own SCP game

#

win win

chrome summit
#

008 being a thing players can just turn on is just team sabotage nightmare

prime fossil
chrome summit
#

953 fills a purpose

dense nova
#

bro

chrome summit
#

Especially since the community wants a new playable

paper lake
#

Something like a battery that instantly kills you when you pick it up (Looking at you mysterious battery) that you quickly learn never to pick up or make doesn’t really add value to the game

prime fossil
chrome summit
dense nova
#

all im saying is

#

dont knock it til you try it

chrome summit
#

But more so, new playables can fill new roles in the gameplay

dense nova

#

Okay if you want me to be more clear

glass pilot
#

Wait hold on what's the convo here I'm seeing some 953 slander

paper lake
#

953 will have a meaningful contribution to the game. You’ll definitely interact with it a lot more than a item that does nothing but warp your screen for a few seconds

chrome summit
#

Content that has substance and new interesting gameplay opportunities

#

Vs room that kills you if entered

#

That's what I mean

glass pilot
#

Adding back 012?

dense nova
#

guys can we make it so that 244's cold eventually becomes exponential

glass pilot
#

Japanese soldier

paper lake
#

Sorry

chrome summit
#

Im sure a few players would enjoy it

glass pilot
paper lake
#

I honestly have no idea

prisma crescent
#

Every game I play there is constant team sabotage and trolling, having a SCP do it is atleast better then people opening doors or not shooting SCP and spliting up.

prime fossil
#

a paper that kills you when you get near it only works in CB because the game is meant to be an exploration game where you die and learn

chrome summit
#

But then the "kills you if you enter room" becomes boring after awhile and people only enter it every 15 rounds or so

prime fossil
#

CB is meant to be played once and enjoyed as a story game, SL is a rounds game and things that kill you are just painful

chrome summit
paper lake
#

I was in a different argument about how writing “Item appears to be X” in a well documented SCP article is just dumb imo

glass pilot
#

012 is for your SCP CB "All SCPS 2025" clip compilation, only purpose it would have in a multiplayer game is to trick new players and clipfarm

dense nova
paper lake
#

To each their own

chrome summit
#

Hell, after some test. We removed one of the objectives for spawn system rework before it hit 14.0.

dense nova
#

like i think its just reinforcing the point of SCP which is they dont know anything

chrome summit
#

If you saw the PEARs test. We originally had an "objective" where your team got punished for killing a disarmed civilian

paper lake
#

Oh right

chrome summit
#

It got removed since well. Team sabotagers wouldn't care.

#

Infact it would just encourage them more

prime fossil
chrome summit
#

Well. It has always been reward base

#

Most of the rewards had existed for years

dense nova
#

i greatly enjoy how the problem of "everyone dying early at the beginning" was fixed in PEARS

prisma crescent
chrome summit
#

Really, the main thing we did was make the game actually tell you this 5 year old system existed

prime fossil
#

rescuing detained players isn't rewarding enouggh for guards to go, "I want to walk for 5 minutes and get very little

chrome summit
#

018 and 2176 have plenty of usages outside of a troll being a dick

hidden wave
#

Now that guards start in light and are trying to escape themselves, it does make much less sense to KOS I guess

#

since you're going there anyways

prime fossil
#

244 could be made stronger if it didn't spawn on the floor

dense nova
chrome summit
#

But tell me. What usage does a player have going into 008's room to get infected

paper lake
chrome summit
#

What benefit is there

glass pilot
paper lake
#

So you might as well take some CD along with the ride

hidden wave
#

mainly because it's annoying actually

mystic hamlet
#

one of its only uses was straight up removed in 14.2

chrome summit
#

I dont see a lot of team sabotage with those items really

prime fossil
#

never found 018 to be useful, creates a hazard and the effect of it takes so long that my enemies would've already gotten me

hidden wave
#

018 does an insane amount of damage if it hits lol

chrome summit
#

It's more meant to be a chaotic item

paper lake
#

018 is an item that specifically targets me

hidden wave
#

earlier today i was playing scp, dog got basically one shot by it and i lost half my health lmao

chrome summit
#

It tends to make people not go towards it.

mystic hamlet
#

it's a deterrant if anything

paper lake
#

It will go out of its way to mess up my day

prime fossil
#

018 is an item that points itself towards 049/939

paper lake
#

And just mine in particular

dense nova
#

now that i think about it, 244 is like a flashbang if it hurt you to benefit from and if you could walk away to end the blinding

deft cargo
chrome summit
#

So it can help put distance between you and an SCP

paper lake
#

018 is a good tool for area denial

deft cargo
dense nova
#

018 is also really funny

paper lake
dense nova
#

i dont like how 2176 just doesnt always shatter when you throw it

chrome summit
#

And yeah, 018 is one of the strongest items in game

prisma crescent
paper lake
hidden wave
dense nova
#

ohhhh thats my problem

deft cargo
dense nova
#

i keep holding down right click

chrome summit
dense nova
#

same reason why my grenades always go like two feet huh

paper lake
#

Right click puts it on a 10 second timer

hidden wave
#

have you been right clicking this whole time

#

for everything

chrome summit
#

And it is more effective to shoot someone than forcing them into 008

dense nova
#

yes

prisma crescent
dense nova
#

guys they dont have a guide on how to THROW

hidden wave
paper lake
deft cargo
chrome summit
#

2176 needs enough velocity to instantly shatter

paper lake
#

Or is it only right click to cancel?

prisma crescent
#

For every 2176 is actually useful there are like 3 times where the user gets them self kill and 5 where they get their team mates killed.

chrome summit
#

If it doesnt gain enough it simply cracks and then auto shatters a few seconds later

dense nova
#

i didnt realize there were changes to how far you toss an item whenever you hold right click and keep it out in your hand

paper lake
dense nova
#

which is what i do with them most of the time

hidden wave
#

the funniest use i've seen of 2176 is using it to try and tesla people

dense nova
#

speaking of teslas

chrome summit
#

People pretty much never expect it

paper lake
#

I made an entire plugin making the ghostlight better

sick sapphire
dense nova
#

why dont they turn off whenever the 079 override happens

chrome summit
#

Good way to kill some enemies

hidden wave
#

but they don't

dense nova
#

new game suggestion popping up guys

paper lake
chrome summit
prisma crescent
sick sapphire
#

Friendly fire in a non FF server

dense nova
chrome summit
#

How often is a player near a tesla gate when overcharge happens

paper lake
#

If anything, 079 should be able to disable teslas and they should be re enabled once the bot is gone

chrome summit
#

Would be a nice detail

hidden wave
chrome summit
#

But you can also see why it isn't a thing

paper lake
hidden wave
#

i think i remember plugins doing it back in ~2020

chrome summit
#

Especially since overcharge usually only happens right before the round ends

paper lake
#

I don’t remember it doing that

dense nova
#

i found it out a bit ago

paper lake
hidden wave
#

i also remember some servers that made teslas not activate for people holding a weapon managers tablet

#

so i'm sure it's possible to just turn them off for a few seconds

prisma crescent
#

Do you think taslas will be removed soon?

paper lake
#

Unlikely imo. The game needs more environmental hazards, not less

hidden wave
#

they need to buff teslas

#

they're supposed to be harmful to scps and helpful to humans

dense nova
#

like you know how in some games you have a pathway which you can rotate in the center of the room

#

add that to hcz

hidden wave
#

instead scps can run right through them and humans are the ones who get one shot

#

one shot the verb

paper lake
#

Tesla should instantly drain all of your hume shield

dense nova
#

like from blue prince

prisma crescent
hidden wave
paper lake
#

If you want to run straight into a tesla to chase, the game should let you. But with a cost

hidden wave
#

i remember seeing a lot of new 096 players not know the timing and die instantly

dense nova
#

hear me out

#

what if there was a chance for teslas to fail

#

like at the time it'd zap it doesn't

hidden wave
#

what

#

why

prisma crescent
dense nova
#

well im not dr genius but i wouldnt be surprised if tesla gates have a chance to completely wear themselves out

hidden wave
#

idk

paper lake
hidden wave
paper lake
#

We even get a maintenance log and everything

dense nova
prisma crescent
#

And even then like people humans will die because they have to wait for the taslas while running.

prisma crescent
dense nova
#

like i feel like tesla gates would use a lot of power especially when theyre running consistently and not even zapping anything

paper lake
#

Plus we should think about whether its a good change or not gameplay wise

hidden wave
#

they only run when someone is near them

dense nova
#

it adds variety to an incredibly uniform room and allows for players to have a slim chance for luck to be in their favor

paper lake
#

Like why should they change it. How does it make gameplay more interesting

paper lake
dense nova
#

not if they can hear an audio cue saying that its going to fail

paper lake
#

They’ll wait for the tesla to activate then run through

hidden wave
#

having the timing be offset every now and then could be cool

#

maybe

prisma crescent
#

All them not working is going to do is make people wait for them to work so they know it's safe crossing.

paper lake
#

You still will barely notice a difference

prisma crescent
#

Every room in Heavy should have a tasla.

chrome summit
#

Well

#

Iirc, tesla gates did less damage back then

#

The difference is they dealt damage every frame

#

I do wish they were stronger though

#

I dislike how most SCPs can just. Ignore them.

dense nova
#

would it be annoying if 244 gave anyone who walked through it a slight chill which made switching items take longer over a short period of time, and the longer you stayed in the 244 gas cloud, the longer itd take for you to switch items and for a longer period of time

paper lake
#

I like the idea of an SCP choosing to sacrifice some health and taking a risk to end a chase faster. But teslas are very cheap

dense nova
dense nova
#

using them overall

prisma crescent
#

Trying to make 244 good.

#

😭

chrome summit
#

244 currently increases weapon draw time

#

Other item's draw times remain unaffected

dense nova
#

well i feel like people walking through 244, especially in the latter part of the round, just walk with their gun out already

chrome summit
#

Yep

dense nova
#

so the effect is really situational

chrome summit
#

Which is the issue with 244

#

The effects are pretty situational

dense nova
#

if 244 made it so it took longer for you to do ANYTHING it could actually serve as a genuine roadblock

chrome summit
#

Like, 244 increases item pick up time by 30% plus an additional 1.5s on top of that

prisma crescent
dense nova
#

typically the only thing i see people picking up in 244 IS 244

chrome summit
#

You shouldn't

#

But it does mess with shopkeepers

hidden wave
#

Typically I pick up 244 and throw it off a ledge because it just makes everyone’s experience worse

dense nova
#

and when i say people i mean me

#

im the guy that picks them up

hidden wave
#

How do scp items give tokens again

#

Is this on the wiki

polar locust
chrome summit
#

Oh yeah

#

Warhead despawns 244

#

Pretty sure 244 is culled anyways though

dense nova
#

i have a lot of ideas for the game but they really wouldnt work in the short frame of the round

paper lake
#

What sort of ideas?

hidden wave
#

In the wiki

paper lake
#

Oh yeah, wiki says using SCP items giving influence points

#

!wiki Spawning Mechanics

chrome summit
#

I didnt write the page

dense nova
#

well i had the idea for an scp item that allowed for you to use abilities from previous scp items after theyve already been used (albeit on a lower extent) but i dont even know how thatd work... like sucking the soul out of a corpse??? idk

chrome summit
#

But it should be pick up

paper lake
#

Why would you spread misinformation Terran

dense nova
#

anyway corpses despawn and stuff

chrome summit
#

Probably just a left over

paper lake
#

This is all your fault

hidden wave
#

So it is on pickup?

dense nova
#

and i dont even know if there's an scp that does that

hidden wave
#

cool

#

Was worried I wasn’t getting influence for throwing away 244 and 207

dense nova
#

i had an idea for a game which was purely a visual presentation of what EVERY scp on the wiki's containment would look like

just an idea because that's way too much effort for way too little reward for me

#

also kinda incompatible with like

#

a lot of new generation scps

chrome summit
#

Sounds like hell

prisma crescent
chrome summit
#

And every CB fan would hate it for not being CB

dense nova
#

to narrow it down a bit i tried to catalog the containments for every SCP at site-19

#

there's like

#

200 at site-19

chrome summit
prisma crescent
#

Most SCP don't even have a traditional containment cell though.

chrome summit
#

It's still an effective tool. Just more punishing for mindlessly holding shift all the time.

dense nova
#

yeah this is what i found out

sick sapphire
dense nova
#

every SCP had a different containment system

sick sapphire
#

It serves 0 purpose

dense nova
#

so i couldnt categorize it

And most cool containment procedures aren't just weird metal boxes.

And somehow it still causes containment breaches every now and then

dense nova
#

its just a chill 914 experience

chrome summit

There is no chill 914 experience

i think 914 would be a pretty fun sandbox

The nerfs were for the most part reverted

So the answer is simple

dense nova

@chrome summit would you happen to know what 207 tastes like

deft cargo
#

2 cola funi

sick sapphire

The funny thing is the nerf to 207 encourages people to only sprint when necessary

oh all-seeing seer of wiki knowledge

I assume it tastes like coca cola

Since well. That's what it is

dense nova

well that ruined my day

deft cargo

They named 207 wrong

chrome summit

i wanted it to taste like pepsi

Just like ghostlight is the wrong type of lightbulb

i thought anti cola was grape juice

is it something grape

Anti-cola is water.

Thick water.

sick sapphire

No that would be SCP-021-J

anti-cola is a sour soda... that tastes like sour grapes if they existed

I guess Black Candy also works

does black candy have a chance to make you go pink

this year's halloween rework for 330 should add like 1000 different shades of colors and each time you pick a candy, it gives you a random shade and a list of random effects that it generates on the candy

chrome summit

Pit Death is a status effect

So you dont get to experience anything

You just instantly die

paper lake

Oh removing 1344 gives both blindness and severed eyes. That makes sense

chrome summit
#

Severed Eyes was originally just used to spawn the eye props and remove them from the model

#

Bleeding was applied to kill the player but bleeding is too slow

dense nova
#

why doesnt SCP:SL add voice lines for whenever your character does generic shit, like in triple-a games

chrome summit
#

So Severed Eyes deal damage

dense nova
#

do yall know about the mario if it was made in 2025 memes

digital ice
paper lake
#

So you can remove your eyes but still be able to see if you remove blindness

dense nova
#

i wasnt being serious but

chrome summit
#

I guess there is also the thing where first aid kits can remove Bleeding. We got close to permanent blindness in SL

digital ice
#

imagine you're voice chatting all good and then suddenly your character says "Danger!!"

chrome summit
#

But 500 can't affect Blindness if the intensity is set to 101 or higher

dense nova
digital ice
#

🫠

chrome summit
#

#

This is why it is very important to emphasize

paper lake
#

Would be funny if all the voicelines used the full SCP article name for each anomaly

half dragon

Does removing the goggles actually kill you or does it just permanently blind you

chrome summit
#

500 does NOT remove all status effects

umbral carbon

I'm gonna write this down as blindness intensity

paper lake
#

Look out, its With Many Voices

chrome summit

Infact, it can't even remove half of them

Hell, it probably isn't even 25%

paper lake
#

Damnit, we’ve been tricked by Wouldn’t it Be Chilly

So 101 is what 1344 uses?

"Aw crap, it's SCP-173 The Sculpture"
