OWA

You guys played really well. Congrats!

The one, the only! Cadbury Creme Egg!

new-owa.pngFix'd. This is literally the best thing ever.

I guess I got a little paranoid and assumed that this clearing charge would be a C4 of some description. If it's powerful enough to 'splode mines, but small enough to be ineffective against heavy vehicles, then that makes total sense.

This is why the Engineer's getting clearing charges, which are essentially a C4 that only affects mines, has a 3 second timer, has a 25% larger radius and pierces cover. And the engy gets 3 of them at a time and can of course restock with a supply truck. Giving the "no damage falloff" feature back to Grenadiers would also make them better at mineclearing. This would be a pretty niche solution imo. I'm not really a fan of having explosives that are only good against 1 thing. They're explosives, so they should affect everything, even in a small way. It's kind of like the whole issue with the AA Rocket Launcher and Anti-Vehicle C4 that Reborn had. It wouldn't make sense and would only serve to confuse players.

I like the idea of the Nader being used in a mine clearing role. It's not really clear right now what's good against mines. Whenever I go clearing mines as an Engineer I take a Shockie with me to help out because I don't think the Golden Wrench or Repair Tool can remove mines. The only thing that the engie has to clear mines with is the C4, which is pretty useless for clearing any more than 1 mine at a time. I actually like the idea of merging the RPG Trooper and Grenadier together to make some sort of Super Nader. That would bring more value to both units imo. My only fear is that he'll have an awful lot of weapons. But I guess 3 isn't too bad (Nade, RPG, Strela).

To be honest, part of why we work with this engine is because it's enjoyable and a fun challenge. Moving to UDK/RenX would just invalidate all of the knowledge that we have gained over the years, which seems like a massive waste just for the sake of better shaders, tools and netcode. W3D does a lot of things very well, which is pretty cool considering Renegade was such a niche game.

Grenadiers are pretty situational. The problem is that they don't fit a clearly defined role like the rest of the infantry in the game, so they are somewhat floaty.

Well, that was violent. I'm glad I fooled Cat5 there for a second at least.

Eh, looks like I'm going down. Actions activate! ##Shoot Voe ##Vote Nodlied

I'm still getting to grips with how this works. I was indeed locked up last night. Although I didn't make any actions myself because I got busy and then forgot to send Vertigo a PM. :\

I came in a bit late with the vote to lynch, granted. But I don't see how that immediately implicates me as scum. You're assuming with no solid evidence to back up what you are claiming which does seem kind of fishy to me. Your only saving grace is that you claim to be able to check roles, meaning that you have the potential to be the Starshina. But this could be a bluff to deflect suspicion from yourself. I supported the lynch because Cat5 and Nodlied put forward some good arguments against iLTS and I'm pretty sure that they are both town at this stage.

Well, that went better than expected.

Aww yisss!

After reading through the thread again, I'm going to take a chance and agree with what Cat5 is saying. Although Voe has been really aggressive this round, iLTS has been really suspicious when parts of his role were revealed, but then he stated that he hadn't made a custom role. Either Vertigo has made a mystery role, or iLTS is scum. Either way, if we're wrong, that does implicate GenCamo and Voe I guess. ##Vote ILikeToSnipe

Thanks, but my birthday is on the fifth of March. Meh, close enough I guess. It popped up on Facebook so I assumed it was today.

I'm going to sleep on it and come back in the morning after I've thought about it. Voe seems pretty shifty for changing his target from Cat5 to Snipe early on, but what happened with Snipe in the night also seems pretty fishy. Nodlied seems like the most legit guy here to me right now. Decisions decisions!

Happy Leap Year Day! It's been a while since we last did an update, though we do have a couple of new things for you guys to see. Come check it out! Hey everyone! It's been a while since we last did an update, so I just wanted to kick off this update by saying that hopefully from now on our news will be coming to you in smaller, but faster doses. This way we can provide regular updates and content drops and show you guys that we're actually working on stuff, rather than stockpiling it up in the back room to the point where it's overflowing. I've also just noticed that today only comes round once every 4 years, so Happy Leap year day! Anyway, here's a couple of new things for you guys to check out! Airforce Command HQ Build Animations moonsense715 has done a great job on bringing some life to the Allied Airforce Command HQ with some amazing work on the interior and Harrier construction animations. Take a look in this video below! Crates! Whether it be bonus cash, free vehicles or veterancy points, the humble crate will deliver. Romanov has done us proud with a great couple of models for the standard and water-based crate. Check out these great texture models below! You may have seen these without textures in our last update. More info on how crates will work in AR will be released when we talk about what surprised we want to put in them. Who knows, maybe the nasty nuke crate could resurface? That's it for now! That's it for this small update guys! Let us know if you want to get smaller, but more regular updates like this in the future and we'll try and keep up with your demands! Also, a Happy Birthday goes out to our resident Test Coordinator Nodlied! He turns a number of years old today! Wish him well guys!

Oh lawd.

You can create your own role/choose another RA unit and send it to Verti. He will then balance the role. So it's certainly possible to get a rol not on the list. The FoI Ghost and the Phase Tank were my initial guesses as to why GenCamo wasn't lynchable. However, as Fraydo pointed out later, buildings can't be lynched either. So Camo went from scum to IHaven'tGotAClueButProbablyJustStupid. Oh right I see! Cheers for explaining.

Just an observation here, but GeneralCamo wasn't lynch-able yesterday, so doesn't that make him either the Heavy Tank or the APC according to this list? Are the FoI Ghost and the Phase Tank that you guys are talking about omitted from this list on purpose?

To be honest, when you said "I think we found our three allied spies", that gave me reasons for suspicion. Then when you didn't defend yourself, I voted. Sorry man!

I'm pretty inclined to agree with Nodlied and Cat5 here. Also down to the fact that he hasn't tried to defend himself yet; I think it could be GenCamo. ##Vote GeneralCamo

Sorry guys I just woke up. After reading this thread a bit, GeneralCamo seems pretty suspicious after mentioning that there were three spies. I'm not sure that's enough to implicate him though. FRAYDO was quick to counter Nodlied's earlier joke vote and he hasn't retracted it yet, so that seems a bit suspicious as well. The first round of these types of games is always uncertain though. I've played Werewolf before, but never Mafia, so I'm a bit new to this format and not sure who to trust just yet.

Yeah, I'm going to do some more tweaks tonight. That's one that slipped through.
