028 Rapscallion [200] v1.0.3

[brett friggin favre]

there's really nothing wrong with rapscalion...

everyone always bitches, but they just don't play raps right.

Some people don't play vaga right, some don't play undead right, some don't play spidey right but I don't see those races having a .5 kdr

see, i kinda learned a lesson throughout my years in ibis and it was never to question races and balance, or i get bitch-slapped by maynard trollol...
2 things about the race:
1- originally, the race would not just completely stop as soon as the ultimate is hit. Looking online, i found that the race used to have a 2-3 second decelerated motion before u stop in place when you go invis: i.e u press ur ult, u go invis, but u dnt just stop in place, u keep slowing down for 2 secs into a complete stop, specially handy around walls. But i guess zero uses a different version of the race that is more camping oriented, since vagabond has the invis movement thing.

2- i dnt think that changing the race behaviour around necklaces is the way to go, nor to change how the race would act overall, surely i would find the race more appealing if it was the way ppl designed it at first, without that "see through walls rings" crap... but if the race procced as an average of (flame pred fire proc rate + flame pred drop proc rate)/2 then it would probably make the race more deadly...
Jack, vagalion and evangelion will eventually be on the server,,, along with flying santa and crap... playing this race is a bitch, i love playing it tho, its challenging and i usually do well with it, but it is not kdr friendly at all.

I would be fine with that argument if it were not for the 200 level requirment. You have very decent knowledge of game mechanics at that point.
Something should be done to the race, as said, its nowhere even close to the second worst class.
What Cyber was talking about with the slight movement would be great. They would not be able to pinpoint you exactly when you use the ultimate, and would make it easier to jump on someone when camping in a high corner.

nothing needs 2 change on rap... stop qq'ing.

with all due respect maymay, but i have NEVER seen u play rapscallion. EVER. How the heck would u even know if it needs change? Unless u just like ppl on a not-so-awesome race just so they can be fodder for ur bullets?

I love u! Dnt ban me! Trollol

my rap is lvl like 35.....

ive been playing and managing that server for going on 3 years now. I Know every damn class, and my rap on the old server was lvl 50+....

the fact I spend more time helping run this community since I got clan as opposed 2 playing is beyond irrelevant, don't grasp at straws.

Alright that aside: Are you SUPPOSED to be able to see a rapscallion's ult through walls? Because I tell you the second you cloak you are fucked if there is an enemy within shooting distance. You can tell me its a "get in position early" class all you want however that is difficult when A: there a limited number of spots to do so in that you won't get raped and people catch on quick, and B: The spots that are iffy tend to be blown up because of the rings being seen. Only thing I would like is for the rings to no longer be seen through the walls.

Ok you do realize your character can move in three dimensions? Standing in the middle of doorways and hallways are going to lead to your ass bleeding. Try using the ult when you're moving on a vertical axis. Also, repeating the same tactic by moving to the same spot consistently will also lead to your ass bleeding. There is no such thing as a "limited number of spots" that's total bullshit when you're playing a class that can go invisible.

yes sir. rap is not flamepred, it's not meant 2 be running around all the time, it's a ambush class.

if people played it the way it's meant 2 be played, they would probably have a far better time playing it.
