Game mechanics that defy rational logic.

[PWNER101 28]

So, I know that not everything in video games has to make sense in real life, but sometimes you wonder...

For example, the lava paint has protection from freeze yet the magma paint does not.

 

The reason that lava has protection from freeze is that it is hot.

Since magma is hotter than lava wouldn't it make sense for magma have more freeze protection?

 

For some reason the Magma paint has hammer protection, and no freeze protection.

 

And then theres is swash. For some reason, swash has fire protection. In the description of firebird, it mentions napalm. Napalm can burn underwater, so one wonders why a watery paint would protect against firebird.

 

Ah, and then there is shaft. You could possibly correlate the need for a charged weapon with the lack of movement (cant power drive systems and high powered electronic weapon at the same time)... but you shouldnt need to go into the scope mode to charge the capacitors in your shaft, AND you should be able to redirect the current from your shaft to some kind of auxiliary propulsion (or the main motors) and give yourself a quick speed boost. And even still, once your capacitors are charged you should be able to move around because your motor is no longer being used as a generator. 

 

To add all the shaft related changes you would probably have to nerf shaft a bit but overall it makes shaft more of a practical realistic weapon.

 

Oh, and then "no scoping" could be a thing, and its always fun to noscope shaft skrubs with my fire m2

 

Also, it could be a good contest idea to write backstories for the weapons and hulls.

I remember when Titan was described as "Performs well in hot environments" and had no Firebird protection.

But jokes aside though, there's a lot of inconsistent descriptions in tanki objects, and it trickles down since the days of the mighty "Buran vaccum + fridge" combo.  Then someone wanted to have less fantasy descriptions, so they altered some, and some make sense, some don't  :blink:  crazy world man  :blink:

 

I know one guy who hates these descriptions a lot.  He's blonde and talks each friday on the tube of you.  I'm sure he'll handle those controversial descriptions right, when the time comes :)
