As it is, it's alright for drawing...but it's just slow enough to make it take too long. I would love to see more crowbar art considering the seemingless endless spray exploit keeping those out of the question. I recently started drawing a bit myself, but you're in such great danger that I never really get to do much before someone kicks my butt. If it could go a few higher, I won't care if it basically loses all damage, it's a lot of fun to draw and I think more people will enjoy it (or at least get to enjoy looking at the art). Shouldn't be a particularly hard change I imagine, but it would give a lot of players who already have max upgrades a new place to pour a few more points away. EDIT: If not this, then maybe this?
Normal dmg is 20 per swing, assuming the rate of swing is 1 per second, that would be 20 per second. Crowbar upgrades must maintain dps. so max swings per second could be pushed to 20 swings per second at 1 damage per swing
Exactly. At that right I could draw things sooooooooo fast, oh my word. It would be my favorite upgrade by far. It would look amazingly silly I am sure, but the amount of jokes I could do and entertainment I could bring to the server would skyrocket. IE: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=510697060 or have time to finish http://steamcommunity.com/id/willajm/screenshot/420313597234029651
I can get behind this. Many a time has my art been left unfinished because of those ruthless traitors, or on occasion RDMers. +1
It might get a little obnoxious, though, if we have people swinging their crowbar at the speed of light....
It could be. Right now the default crowbar sings twice a second, doing 20 damage each time. If the upgrade went as far as to lower it to 1 damage....o _ o 40 swings a second? That would be pretty messed up.
I mean, I definitely agree that a few more speed upgrades would be okay to have. But it gets to a point where it's both obnoxious, and can cause problems for staff members. If the crowbar does have something insane like 40 swings per second (which I highly doubt it would, but let's just use it as an extreme example), three things would happen. You have the really obnoxious people that run around swinging that minigun of a crowbar, which could easily get annoying if it's spammed constantly. Damagelogs will have a crazy section of 40 hits in a second, causing a lot of clutter there if people use a crowbar that fast to damage someone. Anytime the crowbar is swung, it will flood the shotlogs that staff members have access to. And if someone is able to have 40 hits a second, times however many seconds they're actually using that, that could build up in the logs very quickly. So if there was to be an increase, I just think it needs to be only by a few more swings per second. That would probably be alright, and cool for drawing and such. But nothing crazy
Better yet: maybe they could just add a harmless item that only paints to loadouts (I'd replace my primary for that). But Idk, if there such an addon yet. EDIT: Nvm, I found one. However it would need to have some changes done. I'm gonna experiment for fun and see if I can get it working in TTT (Even if it would never be added). Double Edit: I finished, gonna record a little demo of it and post a suggestion
