Discussion / What do you like/dislike about DSL!
« on: October 12, 2004, 09:15:56 AM »
I just finished downloading and installing DSL...
Holy Shizznite! Being an all techno music man... PERFECT choice on the music! I haven't gotten into building or fighting yet, but if the music impresses me, the rest is sure to follow!
After I download and install the patch, I plan to start building! I have gone through the parts, and I must say... Very Nice! As long as these parts are not over powered like that AU AI pack was, I'm sure RA2 will take StarCraft's place as my favorite game!
I'll be sure to post more comments after more testing! :D
EDIT: I don't know how you guys feel about double posting, so I'm just going to edit this post.
Likes
-Music (techno and robots, perfect combo there guys!)
-All the new parts (nicely done!)
-House Robots! (I've always wanted to fight them!)
-All the new arenas!
Dislikes
-Slow motors! I've used every single motor for drive... Can't get a good rambot, they are too slow! I've used every single motor for spinning weapons... Can't get a good VSpinner or HSpinner, they are too slow!
--You really need to rework motor speeds.
-DSL Space Arena! The middle platform goes down too fast, causing damage. Also, when it gets almost to the top, it does this NASTY jerk, causing the bot to be LAUNCHED into orbit and come crashing down causing massive damage. This Must Be Fixed! One of two(or both) ways to make this area the best... Tweak the middle platform lowering speed and fix the nasty jerk at the top. OR... Have a long ramp that starts at the very edge of the arena and works its way around the arena to one of the upper platforms, this ramp should be wide enough to fit any sized bot, and an easy grade, so even the slowest bots can get to the top. There should also be a wall on the outside of the ramp so you do fall off and go OUT of the arena, leave the inside open so you can ram a bot off and make him start all over again! :D
-Part Weights! Some are just too heavy! Like the hammers, how am I supposed to make a good thwack bot when it goes slow? Lower the weights or make the burst motors more powerful.
