Changes: What You Want

We just don't like potions because they're too like Chemist. However, if they would work just like steak, I prefer potions to all the other options.

 

I'm agreeing with @wintergreen3 and @Rohaibcheema . It doesn't really matter it's just nostalgic I guess? It's been steak since the creation. If I remember correctly CTF has little tutorial signs before the match starts, and the class nav thing (I dont use it) should tell you what all the items do.

 

I'd prefer instant-drinking potions.

 

I'm honestly a +1 for all the suggestions you've put to make the game noob friendlier, and I'm extremely hyped for the re-opening considering that aesthetic changes are already being made. Can't wait

 

@Tenshirox Right, but then what makes chemist different? Chemist's use of potions is what makes it interesting. You could say "Ah, well those are splash potions. Completely different." Not really. Chemist is the only class that has access to potions aside from Mage. I understand that it would only be a graphical change. I just think steak looks better. But alas, that is my opinion. Opinions on the internet hold little power, unfortunately. Also, if they switched it to potions people could start getting ancy and start saying "Well how about we make certain classes have heal 2 pots that heal 6 hearts instead of 4?"

 

@Tenshirox Did you read the sentence where I put "I understand that it would only be a graphical change"? I agree how chemist is OP, and it doesn't affect the class gameplay wise at all, it just removes the fact that chemist, which was made to have potions, and probably the only one to use potions, is the only one to have potions. Gameplay wise, it doesnt matter what you change it to being soup, potions, steak, fish, pork, anything, it will still heal. Just visually, chemist wont be as different.

 

@Tenshirox Usable potions that you can throw or drink, not potion effects applied automatically or when another item is used. Also, I believe medics dont have fire res. It was coded so that they wouldn't set on fire. They only have water breathing.

 

They would work like steak does now (you drink them instantly), the change is so noobs know it's for health not hunger. Not to change gameplay.

 

That was literally my point... o.o

 

I know, I was just confirming that we are thinking the same thing

I (with some extreme trepidation...jk) support changing the steak to soup. Heck, maybe we will get some HG players to play CTF. Just make sure the soups are stacked.

If it is changed to potions, make sure they only heal 4 hearts (which they would heal in vanilla) to prevent confusion for new players (like @sp00ky101 mentioned). I can't remember exactly what steak heals, so if that amount that steak heals is changes, it should probably not be implemented (unless we are willing to change the amount that steak heals, which may effect gameplay).

 

@jacob1998_2000 A lot of people wouldn't like it being changed to soup. Most people who I've spoken with would prefer it being changed to potions, if any change at all. Also, current steak heals 4 hearts. You'd have to make it heal 6 hearts, or 2 hearts (If it were to change). If it was changed to 2 hearts healed, heavy gets 6, soldier gets 8, archer gets 8, and medic gets 12, etc. That's would impact PVP greatly, so I probably wouldn't want the amount it heals to change.

 

@Tenshirox Brawls kit server uses soup as healing method as well, not potions. Since neither there nor on CTF you can lose any hunger, I honestly don't see the point in changing the steak at all..

 

If you change steak to potions... My head will explode. You're gonna wanna get the mop.

 

Wait what?? Why would you have to change the amount it heals? You do realize you could just code it so that the soup heals 4 hearts like the steak currently. It's a visual change, it won't impact the amount it heals.

 

I think the usage of steak makes CTF unique. No other game mode uses steak to heal from my knowledge. Also, soup reminds me way too much of Kitpvp.
