Title: warning: silent death will become safetown grief tool
Post by: avv on December 31, 2011, 11:45:31 am
With silent death you can cause massive ammount of damage when one-hexing with smg. You can do 300dmg on BA with 10mm smg. This will be used in safe towns for grief-purposes.
I can only suggest that the perk is disabled in safe towns via script, if possible.

Well, that's what perk created for ;p
To assassinate unexpected victim.
That's really bad for me to suggest this, but: May be if guards will see a sneaker in guarded town, he should break sneaker's sneak instantly. So it still will be possible to assassinate someone in dark corners of guarded town where no guards, but if you'll run to NCR bazaar, for example, and get into guards' FoV, your sneak will end instantly, then poor bluesuiters can idle in NCR more safely and don't make threads about suicidal killers 24/7.

Dude, silent death auto-crits from behind when sneaked. So it will kill most targets instantly with cheap weapons. And that's what suicidebursting is all about: making your enemy lose more than you did.

I agree. Assasination in dark corners is alright but it's hard to implement. It will turn into "right on the edge of dark cornsers assasination" and whatever nonsense. Assasination is okay but you know surviving is part of assasination and that's what suicide bursters don't do.

I think we just need a trading area in the Hub, then there'd be little excuse for standing around in full equipment in a safe area.

Maybe silent death should only work with aimed attacks.
Most sneakers are bursters so I don't really see the point in making them even stronger.

stronger? come on p90 will be finally tc weapon, it is more easier to make p90 snekaer than lsw

It would be useless in that case, except for enclave abuse. It's because sneakers have luck1 and one ensured crit anywhere is way too unreliable offensive measure to base a build on.

Sudden death sneak has its strengths, but it also downsides. Once you're seen you have no means to deliver serious damage unlike lsw sneaker.

The tooltip on silent death says HtH, Throwing and Pistol attacks. Why there are still SMGs included ?

smg is one handed so its kind of a pistol.

I'll take that perk.

Me too. Having finally sneaky build 4 after wipe.

So you all agree, that SMGs should be included in this perk, which will promote endless trolling in guarded cities and unfair advantage in unguarded ones ?

It's okay in general combat but awful griefing tool. If you take off smgs from silent death perk, its pretty much pointless because pistol singleshot and grenadecrit aren't nothing special.

My proposition is to give this perk 10 LK requirement, so at least you couldn't do 1 LK build that does massive crit damage and have very high other stats. So it would probably die from 1 guard shot or couldn't burst 2 times.

fuck no!!!
10int

Yes you would have to trade 9 PE (or EN/AG) for doing 500+ damage with sneaker.

500 is only for onehex which you don't do all the time. Ranged p90 crit burst is everywhere around 50-250

Is it ok to be one-bursted all the time from sneak ? I dont think so. You must compare this perk with other perks, there isnt any other perk that would give you this massive advantage.

50 ? Normal burst is 50+ dmg. And dont forget that you are very likely able to pull another burst after sneak burst.

One hexing isn't something that happens all the time. Good reflexes can save you from getting sneakonehexed, or your pal can look what's behind you. One last thing here is to see how motion sensors turn out to be.

Post by: RavenousRat on January 06, 2012, 08:30:14 pm
motion sensors
That the reason of making 1hex from sneak impossible anywhere except NCR, I think anyone who will afford gear for PvP will also afford it, so everyone will see sneakers from all directions at least on 15 hexes, just break sneaker's sneak with attack and he'll never do 1 hex burst, but I think all p90 sneakers weren't planning to do point blank bursts in normal situations anyway, just burst from max p90's distance on all APs and then run, that's how it'll work, because motion sensor won't allow you anything else.

yes...or make 10ap ++/+++brd with more crits build so you can kill sniper or snekaer in 1-2shoots
