## About The Pull Request Balances - Stops voidwalkers from breaking glass at all, and throwing items Voidwalkers started using spears to break electrified windows to space area's. Throwing bypasses too many safety checks, and shouldn't be their main means of combat either way - No hitting anyone in crit Voidwalkers were using weapons to try and kill as many people as possible without kidnapping - Only able to pull people Voidwalkers were dragging bags around with a personal armory. It also just looks goofy as hell - Increases space dive enter to 3 seconds (from 2) and decreases space dive exit (from 2 seconds to 1) The original value was pretty fast, and is being used to slip out of combat if anyone ever comes after them. This is intended to a certain degree, but it was a bit too strong - Void Eater becomes blunt during use, needs kidnappings to refresh Yeah... For some it's being used as a murderbone antag, forgoing kidnappings completely. This change makes murderboning significantly more difficult without bothering good faith players. It goes from 25 damage to 15 in 0.5 damage increments. This slightly decreases take-down potentially against people with low-mood, but clicks that go SCRUNGE release dopamine so it balances - Gives voidwalkers chunkyfingers, preventing stun baton and gun use Voidwalker originally had this, but I figured I'd keep it out to give people to freedom to be more opportunistic in combat, but a significant portion defaulted to getting a stunbaton as quick as possible so they could avoid engaging in actual combat - Removes eye slots They're already flash immune. People don't know this so they're all rushing sunglasses. It just looks weird when the space monster is wearing glasses :/. They can still wear scarves if they decide to be fashionable - Void eater applies 10s of NODEATH Yeah fuck it why not? It also prevents succumbing and takes out a lot of cheese - Removed Voidwalker armor They had 10% brute and 20% burn armor. I didn't really think much about the original change, figured they'd be too weak otherwise, but turns out they're sufficiently strong and this kinda deviates from the intended "ambush antag" by making them stronger in sustained combat - Voided go to a safe turf instead of a random one Actually just a mistake on my part. Dumping mute people in the turbine plasma burn chamber is cruel, even for a coder Fixes - The Unsettle ability line of sight didn't check for line of sight :/ Addition: - Gives Voidwalker telepathy. I originally kept it out because whatever but honestly I think it's fine and gives them the chance to communicate if they ever need to. I've also given the abilities it's own sprite and background cause good vibes ## Why It's Good For The Game The original testmerges I spectated went very well! I had it testmerged on Terry and the rounds where I observed were played in very good faith and played a spooky antag incredibly well. I've also seen others play incredibly fun rounds! It seems to have gone downhill a bit though (or Terry is high-RP?). I've observed a few rounds on other servers and the way it's played is not great. I originally kept as little handrails as I could as to give people the most freedom possible in playing the spooky antag, but some people dissappoint me so, so incredibly deeply. It's just been merged but I'm already seeing players ignoring kidnap mechanics in favor of roundremoving as many people as possible, giving up any semblance of stealth in favor of carrying around mini armories. Another spent it's time breaking windows to vent as much of the station as possible. I also knew it would happen, but not this much. I probably should've had this PR up a bit sooner but I've gotten really into Hardrock TerraFirmaCraft (seriously it's _sooo_ good). I can keep going "Argh, players!!" but honestly I've been incredibly naive. These set of balance changes set out to cripple gameplay optimizers while leaving good faithed players unaffected for the most part, bringing it closer to the original design doc I wrote and away from just being another murderbone machine ## Changelog 🆑 add: Gives voidwalker telepathy fix: Fixes the Unsettle ability ignoring line of sight (which was it's sole gimmick, im just dumb) balance: Voidwalkers cannot break windows anymore or throw objects balance: Voidwalkers can no longer harm people in crit balance: Voidwalkers can only pull mobs balance: Voidwalkers' space dive enter has been increased by 1 seconds, but dive exit decreased by 1 second balance: Void eater becomes blunt during use. Kidnap people to refresh it balance: Removes voidwalker glasses slot balance: Gives voidwalkers chunky fingers balance: Voidwalker applies NODEATH on hit balance: Voided victims get dumped in safer places /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Jacquerel <hnevard@gmail.com>
