SV Gatling gun in game does not deliver fire rate

[RexXxuS]

Alright, alright, stop a second…

We take feedback very serious but you have to be careful.

Couple of weeks before the Config even has seen daylight I’ve started a discussion round in what is for the HWS Community a possible change IF we had the chance to change it.

And for that question we had to look back and identify what problems we actually had.

Let's create our own HWS PvPvE meta

Good Morning @everyone, as usual the motivation for some people are gone after almost 3 month (that is why I preferred 2 month seasons) and we have less players again. Mostly because the PvP guys have checked out every possibility the current PvP gameplay has to offer, any exploit which can be found was found, any swear word they know were said. But imagine we could influence the game! Imagine we could change the damage of turrets, the rate of fire and much more? Would that be something to p…

You will see that the PvPvE meta was horrible regarding lagshots and performance. Because performance also matters PvE.
After a lot of benchmarks the reason was obvious for everyone: the bullet turrets such as minigun, cannon or gatling guns were the performance killer number 1.
So obviously everyone agreed that we have to reduce the rate of fire of them significantly and now we see that it helped by a lot!
Killing POIs or Raptors can be done even by foot and still with gatling guns. Maybe harder than usual but HWS is in general harder (than SP for sure).

But it’s not really the point to adapt to our current changes or that we made very often sure that the current season is MAINLY for testing purposes until “everyone” is happy with it.

No, the point is that almost nobody participated in my call to help with changing / improving our Config.
And sure, there are always people now and say “eeeh, hey you fool, but I didn’t know! Where was the message, hm!?”.
The message, as you can see some people helped, were there but you were not there.
And as always and like in real life: “if you missed a meeting, live with the consequences because it was your responsibility to change the world”.

But no drama here, because the world isn’t done yet and see above: the iteration process just have begun.
I just don’t want to see any of these comments like

@Dawg

It seems that the server is going to be ruined

@Chaos

This server could have been the ideal multiplayer server

anymore. Because I didn’t see any contribution to our Config from you.

And this is for me honestly no contribution at all:

@Chaos

Yes, no difference if 1 user or a 100. No Lag issues here

@Chaos

just left weapon rates as specified by the developers. What a pity.

Because first, you maybe didn’t play with 20+ CVs involved in a fight on a MP server yet and second the Devs created the Config in first place for Singleplayer! Third we didn’t go nuts with the Config and changed a Pistol to a Laserpointer but instead stayed very close to the standards people already know.
JUST with the difference that performance and the PvPvE aspect gets properly addressed now.

TL;DR:
No hard feelings here and maybe I shouldn’t have responded again because any language barrier drama coming up now but IF you really care about HWS and are not a rookie then contribute to the places which are already announced and available TOGETHER.
Without blame. Without accusations. Without assumptions. Without any salt!
Here is where you can get started once:

HWS Creative Scenario | Configs & EWS

With the release of Alpha 7.5 and Alpha 12, we are now able to adjust properties for almost everything in the game by ourselves. Players joining on HWS are playing with our HWS Configs and a completely different gaming experience. It allows us to change some game aspects such as damage, hitpoints, rate of fire and more to fit better into the Multiplayer purpose than it was before. For a rough overview please watch our Teaser for HWS 7.X and check this topic frequently out for changelogs about …

Contact me via direct message to get the latest Config file for private testing (since I don’t share it public since it is our Intellectual Property with hundreds of hours involved, not available for lazy stealing)

Thanks for reading and hopefully killing any bad smell lurking around here.
