sheild updates

[trim mirage]

Dear developers,
there are 3 changes to sheilds that i think are very important

firstly, sheilds should not do damage to the player when inside the sheild. just like before.

secondly, a sheild is like a bubble. therefore, tanks should bounce off that bubble (exept for the player who put the sheild down) just like bullets. how come bullets bounce of but not tanks? is there some magic that tanks have that bullets dont? I know that when the sheild spawns, the players fly out, but i think this "bouncing" technique should be avalible for all times. since the sheild is a circle, that means the bouncing will be unpredicdable and players can use that unpredictability to their advantage
thirdly, i think that healing shields heal slow. i belive they should heal faster.

thanks for reading.

Adding onto this, two peoples' shields who are on different teams shouldn't go inside of each other and overlap if they are shot near each other

I feel like they should instead deform and make a flat line where they meet, so that they don't overlap

[sinful vine]

Like this, instead of overlaping

[noble obsidian]

This would all make shields way too overpowered

[patent cobalt]

Agreed

[onyx atlas]

just make healing faster

healing shield is way too slow for 8 bro

[onyx atlas]

yeah

[gloomy kindle]

imo shields should bounce tanks and bullets, but the bullets shouldn't change ownership to the person who placed the shield. instead it should becomes a 'bot' bullet and bbe able to hit anyone

[trim mirage]

i like that

[trim mirage]

i like that too

thanks for the suggestions!

(i got the sheild image by doing the tutorial)

Maybe also make drills be able to drill though shields

[sinful vine]

ooh yeah that would be cool

[fervent frigate]

I think that'll be a good drill buff

[lone sorrel]

would the drill destroy the shield or just go right thru?

[fervent frigate]

Maybe just puncture a hole into the shield so that other rockets can pass?

But definetly not destroy

[lone sorrel]

ok

[trim mirage]

maybe with these sheild updates there could also be a weapon called a sheild popper

it pops sheilds

cost 1 or 2 energy

[gloomy kindle]

mayb drill can pop shields and both break immediately, poison doesn't effect ppl inside their own shields and u can extend ur shield by shooting shield on the border of shield

[lone sorrel]

Na, poison should still hurt ppl in shield bc thats what makes it good, if it wasn't around and no one could enter your shield, shield would be to OP

[rocky sigil]

a bit to op

[trim mirage]

yeah

[fervent frigate]

I'm not sure it's a good idea to nerf an item that is already kind of mid

[gloomy kindle]

buff poison to be like a minecraft potion but also lingering

so like a 1sec dot effect for ppl caught inside it when it 1st breaks while it still lingers as well but the lingering doesnt go into shields while the dot does

[wanton vine]

i like how shield is now personally

[woven thistle]

This wouldn’t work as it would make shields overpowered in certain scenarios, especially in endgame

[gloomy kindle]

Just use drill

For the addition of drill popping shields

[fervent frigate]

Please not popping

Poking

[fervent tinsel]

Wait, that would be such a good reason for drills

[gloomy kindle]

Mmhmm it would help promote drill usage

Makes sense too

[woven thistle]

Drills are good enough on their own

I use them all the time they’re fine

They don’t need a buff

[fervent frigate]

True, you just need to know how to use them

[jovial meadow]

But even then having them go through shields would be a flavor win and make more practical for the layman.

[fervent frigate]

Laymam

[silk plaza]

wayy to op

no chance this is good

it's only good for noobs who can't use shields right.
