I think rockets are fine the way they are now; they're already pretty easy to dodge. I guess if they tried slowing down rockets a bit then we could see if it breaks the class against some other classes, but as of now I think that slowing them down would just hamper the rocketman when he's trying to predict where the target is going to go.

[Phantom Brave]

Have you ever played a real FPS with rockets?

Did you ever get good enough to make direct hits against people?

If you didn't answer yes to both these questions, you don't get to talk about rocketman's balance in terms of hitting people.

[Unsung Hero]

Yes.

Yes.

Now can we see whether or not implementing it in-game will make it have a huge impact on the class as a whole?

[Tubulatus]

Maybe put it in public beta and schedule with forumers when to test slower rockets.

make the flare curve again

make the airblast cone way shorter

I think these two changes would help.

YES.

But Wareya thinks flare will be too hard to aim if it's curved.

herp derp projectiles in a game where every weapon is projectiles already

[CobaltBW]

Compensating for gravity is already a base requirement for more than half of the guns in this game, I really don't think curving the flare is going to make the pyro too difficult.

[Footpöp]

I would think curving flares as a small buff for those who bother to "learn" the curve fy:

[Phantom Brave]

That's actually part of why it's a bad idea

[Footpöp]

The reason you said you didn't want it is because it was too hard for you and psycho to aim 7:y

[CobaltBW]

I don't think the idea of curving the flare was ever to "nerf" it, just skill-index it.

[RedBluYellow]

Don't slow down rockets.

[CobaltBW]

Also yeah, slowing down rockets is a stupid idea.

You could do it for experimentation, sure, but I don't think anyone will learn anything from it other than the fact that it's a stupid idea. But maybe that's just me.

[Dropbear]

Curved flare isn't too hard to aim but i'd prefere a straight flare. I dunno' why.
