Yeah, it was just a bad idea.

Were they hotfixed out or something?

Had spinning drop pods today, so I guess it's a future change?

Hamma · 2013-05-10, 09:07 PM

Yea they are still in as far as i can tell. They are still on test also.

Honestly, I like the spinning drop pods. Each drop feels like a little mini game to try and inch yourself closer to where you want to land.

I assume the point of spinning is to prevent people from choosing to land in good vantage points?

Using your brain and using features to advance your position in ways others don't consider is OP and absolutely not allowed now?

I mean, I guess when I started dropping on top of towers and murdering people in beta, and then some people took it further by using the top of the biolab, it was going to catch on...

Are you making a funny or do you really think people learned that from you?

I thought I was pretty cool back in beta when I realized I could snipe from the inside of the bio dome top. And then I realized that everyone had thought of it - because it was obvious.

WOAH! You invented drop podding on top of towers? Man, I'm a big fan!

Well there are always people that think it's against the rules for others to win and if it's not in the rules the rules have to be changed in there favor.

But re: spinning drop pods.

If you have a decent computer it's not a big deal. The changes have not made it harder for me to drop pot spot onto of the sundy roof tops to plant C4. But I have heard in VOIP that some members of our outfit gets a bit too mush of an FPS drop that takes it hard for them to get any control of the decent.

If they wanted to do that they would just remove the ability to influence where you land. I would be extremely surprised if the spinning wasn't a bug. Unfortunately, like the vehicle shake, I assume it's something they can't hotfix.

On the plus side if it stays in the game defenders will stop looking up as much soit will help players who use other means of getting in location.
