This is especially effective against players that try to "camp" on a player's wormhole and send powerups through as they spawn. If someone is sending a lot of powerups quickly and consistently into your field, just shoot their wormhole several times and if they were sitting on your wormhole they will be hit by your shots.
Right now the current system will send three shots through when you shoot a wormhole enough to spawn a powerup. The shots that spawn move slowly in random directions and slowly fade away in only a few seconds. As I said earlier this isn't a strong attack, but it is useful when stacking it with powerup attacks and as a deterrent as well.
It also alerts the enemy that you are facing their wormhole and may be attacking soon, so be cautious about which wormhole you use to spawn powerups.
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteIf anything, it might prevent blind flying. If the bullets are anything like you had from Nexus (but slower and random), it won't bother campers unless they are stupid enough to be on top or right next to the wormhole. But in a panic situation created in a mass powerup unload, it does make one extra thing to worry about.
Actually people would sit exactly in the middle of wormholes so that when powerups spawn from them they would immediately get them and not have to chase them down. Then they can fire them into the wormhole and constantly attack someone.
ReplyDeleteIf someone is doing this to you now you don't have to weave through the enemies, find a powerup and send it to them, you can just shoot their wormhole and the shots will hit them.
