Title: No more size boost on fatality buff
Post by: Nerf on June 13, 2008, 12:12:35 PM
Am I the only one who sees this change as awful?  One of the things I really liked about pulling off a fatality was growing to massive proportions and continuing the rampage, now I can barely even tell if I get a fatality (as a PoM).

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'd like to see this change go the other way, with the fatality buff lasting longer than 10s, maybe 30s or so, and each additional fatality in that time gives you an even bigger size boost.

Suffering from ExtenZe withdrawals would be my guess.

I don't like the PoM fatality, it looks like it would be a rather pleasant sensation.  Maybe it's supposed to.  "Let me end your pain".

I err... I actually rather liked the size boost, too. /sheepish

It was, in my mind, a visual representation of the fear that the bad guys felt for you now that you just cut the head off their buddy with insane glee. I don't agree with the 30s buff or continuing size boosts. But I like the one we had.

I looked at it as more of a roid rage "RAWR WHO ELSE FUCKING WANTS SOME" than as a visual represenation of the fear my opponents felt, but I miss it.

Or maybe I just miss sliitting motherfuckers throats because now I float them on some silvery beam.  I'm fine with them floating, but how about making their bodies explode into a fine mist?

Thought it was just a clone of their AO feature, the enforcers would grow in size there when they used their AoE taunt, iirc (similar how the bosses are usually made bigger to seem more threatening)  Odd it'd get removed, perhaps there's a bug to it that someone managed to abuse in creative manner  :grin:

I must be in the minority that I never even noticed myself growing in size after a fatality. Didn't even know anything about it till I read that is was removed.

You could actually stack so much +scale in AO as an enforcer that you'd break the system and exceed the maximum size and you'd appear miniscule. Also, being so big that the camera decides that the best place to be is 6 feet above the ceiling of whatever dungeon I was in was one endless nuisance :(

I only noticed the growth upon shrinking.
