Rejected remove death station heal

I actually support this. I’ve always said DS heal was overpowered and I totally agree. Shame this was a troll suggestion.

 

why does everyone think my suggestions are troll suggestions
this was a serious suggestion

 

Maybe it's your -

1. History
2. Way of typing
3. Way of conduct around the forums
4. Your trollish behaviour

 

There is a reason that no one ever made a suggestion like this by the way..
At least put some reasoning to why you want it removed, besides "it's dumb" and "you need the detective to trust you"

 

I think part of good traitoring is finding a detectives health station or convincing them to drop one. DSheal is just a lazy huge point shop purchase limited upgrade that takes away from good traitoring. The fact that only dedicated players can use it’s overwhelming power is also kinda BS.

 

I some what agree with what you said.
I agree with how expensive it is but i don't really find it OP.
Sure it heals you but most people DS is not the first thing they buy and it does help i find it more of a challenge for innos witch i like about it.
I am gonna remain neutral on this

 

One of my biggest complaints of TTT in general, not just a SGM problem, is that rounds can just break down into TDM matches. I'll always see people on inno motel use the floor trap to shoot down the hallway then teleport away. Sure, it's a strategy, but it removes the whole sneaky theme of the game. The slow suspense as you try to figure out who the killer is. By adding stuff like death station healing and maps like inno motel, servers also encourage this type of gameplay. So yeah, I honestly wouldn't mind the deathstation heal being removed.

That said? It's not going to happen. The majority of people and regular players prefer that TDM style so it makes sense servers will want to cater to it.

 

uhmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM -1

 

Gonna be a +1 from me, the death station heal is just OP. It takes away a lot from the strategy and carefulness of being a traitor. People can just walk into a room and carelessly get into a gunfight, and then TP away to their death station to heal and repeat the process. Not to mention, like graze mentioned before, is that deceiving detectives into dropping a health station for you is also another part of being a traitor and makes for less mindless game play.

 

thanks for all the input

 

admins can lock this now

 

See you in the next one

 

Locked on request of OP.

 

I'm gonna reopen this. I'd like to hear other's opinions/ideas on this.

 

Well, yeah, believe it or not, but this is actually being looked at.

EDIT: https://www.seriousgmod.com/threads/death-station-healing-changes.45875

 

I do both. I kill both non VIPs and those who have a donation rank (whether or not it was donated to them or they got it their own). This is coming from a person who does not have a VIP rank as well. It all comes down to the player's ability as a tratior (and hitreg). VIP doesn't mean shit if you can't kill honestly.

In regards to getting the perk, those without a donation rank had to pay the full price (40000 points and the amount of non-premium who also have it is very scarce) whereas 98% of those who do have death station heal got it early because they had a premium rank before they bought it, roughly 30k with VIP and even lower with higher tier premium ranks.
Why remove it out of the blue considering the hefty point cost for the perk? How can players be compensated for the removal of death station heal if this suggestion is added?

 

Ur name looks fucking ugly tho

 

In a way, the deathstation can be used as a crutch.
However, you can balance deathstation without removing it by nerfing the healing rate or how much it can heal.

I think the biggest problem would be how would the removal be handled.
There are a lot of people who have paid for the deathstation with their points.
Some more recently, others months ago.
If people are going to be refunded their points, the other people that lies is how much they paid for the deathstation heal because of the ranks can give different amount of points required to buy it.
To expand on this point, people can buy it as supporter and then 3 months later, buy VIP, which the discount price would increase.

I think it would be easier to nerf the deathstation to be less of a crutch for traitors rather than removing it and dealing with potential aftermath.

Edit:
Third alternative is a more dumb suggestion in my opinion, but it can be something to look at. That is to (greatly?) reduce the point cost for deathstation heals. That way, everybody can have it at cheaper price and get it much more quickly than before. That way, everybody can try and reap in that advantage instead of excluding the people who have stayed on the servers for long period of time to farm points or get lucky with points begging or lottery.
