Removes hugger strain: Watcher #7107
Removes hugger strain: Watcher #7107
Conversation
"If watcher doesnt work, remove it." so delete the code, not just disable it and leave the strain rot in the code. |
Ok. I like code preservation but if you say this is better. |
change tittle |
Other comment said fully remove it, i planned to just disable it and keep the code in. 👋😩🫱 But yeah. Watcher is barley a strain rigth now. Old watcher can be implemented again when the ghost reatrictions are implementet. Then the meta abuse wont be a problem. |
What really urks me in this situation is that is if you search "watcher" on the CM discord and read the feedback to the new watcher you will just encounter streams of people giving feedback and it is all just disappointment on what it has become with people saying how they had a lot of fun with the feature in the past. It is easy to get "something isn't right with these changes" feedback in this case but nothing seems to be done about it. If I had any say in this project and I decided that this mechanic needed to change I would bare minimum try to at least approach changes in a different way that fits the mechanic more after seeing the reception these changes have gotten. |
The main problem is just that huggers are already a ghost role and vunriable to meta abuse. Watcher strain just exegrated that. |
First time I played watcher hugger, I assumed I'd be able to run around off weeds and see further so I could size up attacking someone. But no, it's just a regular hugger except you can't hide. It's completely pointless. |
If you don't like the strain, then don't use it. Removal is unnecessary and my previous statement that is conveniently reposted here are still my thoughts. I am open to suggestions on how you can make it more interesting w/o the original issues however. |
About the pull request
Explain why it's good for the game
In #6237 watcher was nerfed. And they even snuck in some nerf to the watcher they only listed in the changelog and nowhere else. Being that watcher could no longer move while being zoomed out.. for some reason.
Not like the nerf that they die off weeds wasnt enough.
Watcher strain was nerfed because of meta level shit. As a temporary solution until some fixes are implemented to prevent meta lv abuse.
To bad that temporary fix sucks balls.
Watcher strain is barley a strain rigth now. And because its nerfs cant be reverted currently, its best removed for now.
Its sad that the huggers that sneak around in the almayer are a thing of the past, but some things just has to end it seems.
