valid Remove supplies cooldowns in Parkour format

[Mr.Designer 161]

Due to secret update released 20th december 2024, supplies cooldowns were added to Parkour format. It negatively affects performing Parkour tricks in general, and some specific tricks requiring usage of repair kits and mines even more.

In that update, Hyper format was released as well. In this format there are no supplies cooldowns, and anti-cheat is activated like in regular MM battles. Idea behind that was to bring back moderation to parkour format upon "Parkour fighters" numerous requests. Creation of Hyper format partially fixed that, but created another problem for other group of players.

Easiest solution that could satisfy both developers and parkourists is to change mines placed at once limit in Parkour format from 10 000 to eg. 30, and remove supplies cooldowns again. This will make parkouring as good as before, and won't affect idea of Hyper format in which planting huge amounts of mines is allowed.

Yeah, that's weird. I guess it was done to discourage mine spamming in parkour battles, but making it the same as MM battles doesn't make sense.

fully agree with you, ma friend

On second thought, are mine tricks even possible these days? I thought the somewhat recent physics changes made it so that blowing up on a bunch of mines no longer launches the tanks upwards that well.

Either way, if the mine cooldown was reduced down to like 5 seconds or something, parkour could still work well without turning into another mine-spam competition.

Tricks with mines are still possible indeed. They just work a bit differently. It is mostly a difference between Flash and HTML rather than anything from the recent changes. On Flash all mines exploded as soon as tank touched them, while in HTML there is a small delay.

Making the cooldowns shorter might seem better, but it still does not completely solve the problem. Even if there was a 5 second cooldown for mines, there are still tricks where fast mine placing is required (for example when standing on top of a tank, you place two mines quickly because you need both of them to explode at once).
