Suggestion for smart disc
Hopefully these suggestions get implemented into the shuriken when Scar gets announced
I actaully like how it works now imo.
Personally I’d want the current controls just to be polished. I guess that laser guide will make it even harder to control on PS4 (might work well on PC with a mouse) and still getting stuck everywhere. It will be harder to hit fireteams because tracking both how far the fireteam is away from you and the distance the smartdisc is moving at right now seems very difficult.
Add some higher ping and lag to it and it might get very frustrating again. The target laser mechanic might be something cool for a missile with an explosion on impact, but with the smartdisc that has to directly go through enemy i see a problem.
I’d like to see a secondary attack option with it. Leave it like it is but have a second thrown attack option to target with the visor. Disc aims for targeted FT and does 1/2 to 1/4 damage that it does now. So you can go high risk/reward and manually control it. Or go auto target and do much less damage. Opens up a lot of situational uses i think.
Alot of those issues ie. It hits invisible walls goes through people etc are bugs anyways even with the new easier controlling youd still have those original issues until they patch them. If anything I’d want a second meter on the come back so once the first one runs out the disk will start coming back but itll have another meter and you can choose to control it for that time period or cancel it and have it fly back like normal
