Post Swarm, leave stasis
Basically making it so rather than having to click them 1 at a time to get your slaves out of stasis, just 1 group command.

An incentive to not use swarms. Admins do not like swarms, never will. And actively were nerfing them.

Post Re: Swarm, leave stasis
A bunch of people got together, spent ~1/10 what most people spend with their setups, and started to kill ubers and players.

Would you find it fun if 4 people who spent 500b together is now being destroyed by 4 other people who spent 50b or less together?

Absentis Sniper, Zerk Lion, Monk Rhino, and Engineer Rhino.
vs.
4 FC Dreads with helga/paxi swarms.

This is an equal fight.


That was what happened before.

There is a large difference between a change to game mechanics and improving GUI usability. I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to release all your slaves from stasis at once. I'm not a coder though and I'm not sure how high of a priority a change like this would be

Post Re: Swarm, leave stasis
I dont really see how this could be a bad thing. You still loose durability from your slaves when they die. It's mainly because I find myself and see other people (more at lower levels) doing a dg and dieing. Then not being able to get going again cause its goes: Unstasis slave, slave dies to ai, unstasis slave, slave dies to ai. Etc.

I see it as a fun way to ambush people.

Basically, I spend 300m outfitting 9 slaves. I drag them to an enemy's AP route, and kill them. Using low tech gear, I don't lose much if they die.

So when someone, afk or not, comes nearby, all of them come out of stasis and start to rape the guy! Then my teammate jumps in with his sniper and murders the guy.

I take the slaves away and kill them for the next ambush.

+1 cookie if they're all stealthy seer slaves!
