Another Another Proposed Change to the Handbook

I mean... It would seem a bit unfair on sheriifs. Having an advantage over players are rare for sheriffs so they need to take every chance they got.
-1

 

AND it would make @aNezz happy.

 

Honestly, as @SoullessAngel_ said, It'd create a lot of close calls, and if they shoot at you then they're kos, you're allowed to defend yourself. The priority may be cuffing, but you're bound to get shot at before you cuff. Even if they miss, they're all kos. If there was something coded in to make it impossible to do though, I might change my mind. For now, -1

 

Very opposed to preventing this, especially when a player doesn't see it coming. My go-to move was a ride up and cuff especially with a very fast horse when people weren't looking. Kudos if you turn around, but this idea is too limiting. I there's a way to prevent sheriffs from processing drugs, then there's also a way to register a hit on a horse as a hit on the sheriff and prevent the cuffing that way. Furthermore, in a situation where both parties are on horses, as soon as the sheriff dismounts, the person on the horse is at an immediate advantage and can run away around a corner. Sheriffs would have to be lightning quick to their gun of choice to be effective here and hope for a one hit kill on the horse. If they can't do that, then they'd need to mount ASAP and ride out after the person, probably 5 seconds behind at this point and with 0 chance of doing anything. I'm so opposed to this idea that a -1 can't even express my distaste (no offense to SoCool).

Are you gonna be active again :3

 

I gotta clean a few things up with my madden teamed finish leaning the titans playbook. Then I'm getting my laptop fixed and I'm free to be back. Not going to be active much and I doubt I'll have the time to commit to WW, but I'll try.

My understanding was that this post was about being unable to hit a sheriff while the sheriff is mounted on a horse and solving that by making sheriffs dismount, which I can say for sure is a mistake and will basically lead to anybody with so much as a blunderbuss being able to successfully escape a protocol-following sheriff. Assuming any change forcing a sheriff to dismount for an appreciable time to avoid close calls is made:

1. The sheriff approaches the suspect
2. The sheriff dismounts and the suspect GUARANTEED turns around if they have the volume above mute.
3. The suspect (who probably has a horse) either mounts and rides away, hoping the sheriff won't one hit the horse, or shoots the sheriff to buy time, likely with a shotgun, mounts, and rides away before the sheriff can mount.

How does the person get away so quickly? EASY. They run around as corner, which does actually exist in 85% or more of these scenarios, as most cuffing are made in REBEL BASES WITH DOORS AND WALLS.

Furthermore, this essentially renders sheriffs useless against better-manned and armed people. The element of surprise gave me, who was so cheap with my money that I wouldn't buy ANYTHING when going on raids except when I KNEW there would be certain trouble, the ability to arrest people- no- TEAMS with top tier guns and armor leaving and entering bases. Even head on, coming in on a horse around a corner is shocking to people and allowed me to cuff like 3 people without dismounting, quickly immobilizing whole teams.

True, but the issue lies where a sheriff is in the act of dismounting with his finger on the shift key and left click and he clicks before shifting. And please don't say that the sheriff needs to be on top of their keystrokes. Unless I consumed all the mountain dew in the world, I was bound to be unfocused enough to make mistakes with quick keystrokes at some point. Otherwise I'd have perfect combos all the time and probably get banned for using macros.

 

The whole purpose of this thread was that you can't counter cuffs by hitting a mounted sheriff?
