Remove Boulder Drilling [984]

^known to happen when you get really bad ping spikes.

 

Impossible. Boulders don't react to being hit by arrows like bombs/burgers/kegs/etc do. They just take damage and continue on their path like nothing happened.

Tested it, shooting the boulder gives it... maybe 1 tile of extra distance when thrown straight up? It's insanely insignificant. Not to mention, boulders die to 3 arrows, so... not exactly all that useful.

 

Don't build ground level or roof doors. Bam. Problem solved.

 

Not that simple once you put archers into the equation. Those floaty sky doors are no match for my grapple-boulders.

 

Why is the enemy team allowing you to hang there, bashing their doors repeatedly? It takes several seconds to do that.

 

Team wipes happen, and it really takes less than a second if you're any good at grappling... Not to mention, if someone tries to come out the door you could just grapple higher and kill them with the boulder. :P

 

Knights can bombjump with a boulder, to be fair...

Could prolly even set up a double

Edit: yep, put boulder down, drop 2 bombs, stash boulder in inv, pick up last bomb dropped, proceed to bombjump. Easy. (requires you to have nothing else in your inv other than the two bombs, though)

 

Instead of removing boulder drilling we should just get rid of Trumbles.

 

who said you had to go from your base? just go from right behind the front lines, and if they're right at your doorstep, bombjump over their knights, walk up to their base unhindered as they are all distracted with, you know, beating you in a fair fight, and bombjump into their base, single handedly destroying it while they're all off winning in the fashion that the game is meant to be played. That's totally fair, right? A single person being able to destroy the base of an opponent that is actually owning you is TOTALLY balanced guys, idk why anyone would ever see a problem with that.

Also, you absolutely CAN destroy elevated doors with a boulder, fools. Unless the doors are too high for you to wall climb up to, then you can destroy them, and if they are too high to wall climb to, then the other team won't actually be able to get back into their base. Don't give me that crap about building trap block ladders either, because an enemy knight can break those in an instant.

 

If we nerf the boulder, then what is left of it?
Remember buckets, the same thing is gonna happen.
If everyone hates boulders we might as well remove them,
but I highly doubt someone will remove precious content.

 

You ever shot one out of a catapult?

Did you even read the cata+boulder related posts?

 

Deleted last two posts. Take those conflicts to a PM instead of bashing someone in public.

 

once again, the "let's make it op because otherwise it would be useless" stance is not a valid argument.

 

nop. Geti is allergic to Alpaca fleece.
