Disc Re-work

#41

Idk about y’all but this seems like a decent idea. I would argue being able to rotate between the throwing modes, but this won’t ever happen, devs simply aren’t capable of programming a tracking disc as of right now. I have an idea as for doing it but that would take a long time programming it alone.

I think they should just give 1 disc to the Predator and make it indestructible.

But I do think that it should be standard in every game to place limits on rotation/look acceleration and speed, unless there is some reason why the characters would be superhumanly fast.

Given how hard the disk is to use, plus the myriad of reliability issues it has, I would be more inclined to provide an alternate version rather than ditching what we have now. It went from meme to useful weapon in the right hands. Why can’t pred have nice things? And the disk isn’t even that nice anyway given the aforementioned issues

Nerf because PC players don’t have a limit in turn speed.

So maybe then the solution is to impose some sort of limit? I’m not sure how that works

Idk all I know is console players have to max out their ADS speed to have like half the turn speed capable of what can be done on PC. There’s a video in another thread where this guy was able to turn the damn thing on a dime and I’m over here trying with all my power to to avoid 90 degree corners.

At how much DPI is it considered such a big advantage on PC I’m wondering ?

My mouse DPI doesn’t go as high to even half of what some guys use for disk. And since I’m not buying a new mouse just so I can have an advantage using 1 weapon in 1 game its just gonna stay that way. Plus when I do privates I try to have an agreement of no disk for pred and no tracker/pdls/field medics for ft to make it more fun and fair for both sides. I prefer the old combi+bow combo anyway.

depends on monitor resolution. for higher resolutions you need higher DPI

I’d say around 3500 DPI @ 1080P it becomes possible to do sharp turns that cannot be done on a controller

I see. Mine can go max to 3200 DPI and I play on 1080p. I seen some PS5 players do pretty good fast double hits with the disk as well.

I think as far as game balance, discs should be able to be damaged while in the air, shotguns should do extra damage to discs (maybe even 200% damage, as shotguns are so rarely used, and it’d give them a use-case) when they are stuck and that discs should get stuck in the ground when they are used to hit a downed player.

Judo

I tried the disc with 6k DPI in Clash as Elder Stalker.
I felt sorry for those dudes. 😂😆

I mean its a cool idea, but with this game filled with so many glitches. It will most likely never happen. Now I would suggest this tho. You can toggle the locking system on and off. That could be sweet.

I’m one to let people play however they want, but if a pc player can up their dpi to the point where they can down you with one hit, then kill you with two more while you’re down almost instantly. At that point it becomes everything goes and don’t ask for no special treatment in pubs or privates because I can’t change my dpi to avoid getting hit or make my character faster. Same goes for those who love to cancel animations, play on low graphics…I can’t cancel animations on my fireteam (maybe others can, idk how) and I play on high graphics settings…so, fair is fair.
