It seems to me that poison is massively underpowered. There seems no reason why it shouldn't be at least as powerful as venom. What are your thoughts?
-
Hehe, 2 to 0, it looks like we can do it!
-
I'd prefer changing relative cost and not functionality if you feel there is an imbalance
-
The reason I suggest changing functionality is because, frankly, it's useless in it's current state.
-
Yeah, defiantly useless, you can't get their bot to do anything with it.
-
I suppose poison does aim itself, meaning that you don't have to interrupt your feeding to defend yourself. I find it useful in some scenarios...

In practice you force your opponent to use energy shots which are less lethal
-
But shell performs the exact same function, reducing the damage taken. I'm not saying we should completely change how poison works, just allow it to use a value instead of 0. There are practically no variables that when set to 0 are harmful.
-
I have no objections either way. But you probably want something to differentiate venom from poison.
-
Maybe a higher cost of poison, or something like that. Maybe. I woudn't know.
-
Perhaps it'd be possible to make poison dwindle over time, like slime does. That way there is a definite difference between poison and venom. Venom is offensive and ready so long as you've stored some; Poison is defensive and must be maintained to work.
-
Yeah! :) Agreed!
-
Actually I was never too infatuated with the degredation over time of slime. But at the end of the day there aren't that many things to play with.
The whole combat system could do with a good game designer adding a bit more depth and balance.

Well, it's almost programmed, so tough. :p Oh, and by the way, do I still have my SVN auth, if so, I have lost my password or username. :$

I agree.

And I have the files ready for upload, if I can get my auth back.
