Starhawk General

This has been covered elsewhere, but I wanted to highlight what I think is one of the best and most succinct/efficient bits of player feedback I've seen here. The knife thing is off the hook...there's already a weapon that's intended to take down structures, and there are already perks that make you spawn with specific weapons. You can even change the perk unlock requirement to taking a number of building destructions with the grinder.

I'm not sure the grinder needs a general buff, as has also been covered here, previously, it does great against structures, just sucks trooper to trooper. I do think it's wind up time needs to be shortened, though.

As I said, just highlighting aforementioned ideas I've seen here.

I agree. The grinder is actually beast against troops, but it takes a while for it to really get going. I think this balances out so it isn't like the shotgun but with a longer range.

I think letting players spawn with the grinder as it is now fixes the problem perfectly. Just scrap bruiser.

[Flint_Prophet]

Well, Butters, we both know I'm not very skilled yet, so every time I've tried to kill someone with the Grinder I'm dead, lol. I think it's a pretty awesome re-imagining of the flame-thrower, though.

[ButteredScones]

It could also have been that the guys I killed were noobs. But they'd spawn in and I'd already have the thing charged up. Once it connects it takes them out pretty quickly. Maybe not best when used against large groups. But individually, if there aren't shotguns around, it's good.

For kicks, I tried this thing out by rolling fast into an enemy base, slithering into their bunker and waiting for the unsuspecting.  As they came in, I had this thing at full speed just spitting fire at them.  I think they were so surprised and confused by what exactly was happening they just sort of stood there going "what do I do??" and suffered extensive 10th degree burns and died.  Try it out.  Most just don't have the experience to know what to do (grenades while evading, relatively long-ranged weapons) so you can have a little fun/get some experience with it.

Almost died laughing at this, Surv. I should try that out.

Btw, sent you a FR today...thought you were already on my FL from the beta...did you delete poor ole Flint?

I'm glad I didn't kill you

I accepted.  You were and I do not know what happened.

Triple kill says whatever. This is what noobs do with a Grinder (or a Bruiser) followed by what they expect to happen.

I will teach tips and tricks to those who ask.

No, the bruiser perk is ok where it is now even though I would rather get rid of the entire thing.

No grinder as a perk. Because I like that you go out of your way to get it. Keeps it rare. Plus its pretty obvious when someone is carrying it. Its a nice little reward when you get a kill and someone drops a grinder.

Just replace the perk with something else. Like turret perk that negates an enemies avoid turret lock' perk.

Spawn the barrels out on the field a little faster.

Make mines stuck on vehicles become instant timed explosive instead of Proxy. 10'sec timer should be interesting.

Make the jetbike spawn instantly a bike without the still structure. Or put a timer on how long it stays without activity. This is the most spammed structure usually.
