028 Rapscallion [200] v1.0.3

[blackmail242]

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.

agreed, its a unique class and style. most people are too careless with it. To me its really boring though but I can get a decent kdr with the race.

Zero.
I had a rapscallion idea that i was going to share with you, shared it with brett and he thinks it's a decent idea to power up rapscallion a bit without affecting other races, and without changing its entire mechanics.


Instead of changing its ulti, add a +ability effect.
The ability will do the following:

ASCEND: One-time-only SOUNDLESS activation during each frozen-invis-ultimate, the player can press +ability to get "thrown" upwards by like 10/15/20/25/30 ft into the air while retaining invisibility
( u can pretty-it-up by adding very very small opaque smoke bomb effect like crow that grows per other level (10 levels total between range and effect)

This will allow the following scenarios:
1- add more versatility to rapscallion vs laces, which currently cripple it IMMENSELY more than any other race in the server by allowing the player to "tactically" use his +ability to get thrown out of lace range. it's a one-shot only since they cant use it more than once if still stuck in lace. but if they succeed in getting out the lace, they can then ulti out, and get one-time chance kill.

2- add more mobility to rapscallion on very open maps like dolls, where decent players can use an [ultimate+ability] combo to ulti in and out while going upwards for intermittent steps to get to high places, thus making the rapscallion levitation more usable. (remember, u consume that ability and resets each time u get in and out of ultimate)

3- will reduce the predictablity of the race where currently the rings will inform every player and their mother (through walls and across map) where the EXACT location of the rapscallion is, whereas a player could have secretly used his "ASCEND" once to get into a more tactical spot, and then free fall for ninja knives instead of being sitting duck.

4- create more locations for rap to hide in considering the new vertical motion they can receive.

5- make the race fucking PLAYABLE, especially with the tiny smoke bomb that might obscure vision on it for a sec... I would totally level up another 10-levels skill to do so.


Thoughts?
