Season of Undying (First Roadmap 2024)

And sniper or long range emetic gun or crossbow.

There are still lots of items that can be added in this game but i have a feeling, they took all the ideas and will throw them into 007 to make it have its own unique items compared to hitman.

I think that would require more work than ioi is willing to put in, for this game, at this point in its cycle. Which is understandable honestly. It just sucks because there"s a lot of good ideas! :joy:

I still kinda want a Silenced Striker. It would be genuinely funny to use.

A remote sedative duck could maybe be neat (with a reskin included for double ducks). I thought pressing a button and having targetā€™s personal guards drop to the ground as you move in for the kill might look cool. Perhaps give it a quack that lures NPCs in the room on detonation for balance + potential distraction shenanigans.

With how many easy SA knockout tools this game already has (banana, dart guns, snailbomb, the upcoming egg, chewing gum, antique sedative syriā€¦nvm) it hopefully wonā€™t be that busted.

The one thing that I donā€™t like about the blue egg being added as an unlock - weā€™re never going to get the full egg set as unlocks for obvious reasons (looking at you red egg) so its always going to be incomplete. And that is going to be something that bugs forever, even though its completely understandable why.

Damn my obsessive need for things to be in complete sets!

I just want the regular egg from that mission. Would be pretty nice to have a stone-like object to deck people with.

This is very possibly the worst and most dismissive post youā€™ve made on HMF, and youā€™ve got a fair few others to choose from.

Considering the context, I donā€™t think it is dismissive. Let me be clear, Iā€™m not saying Heisey has bad opinions overall (in fact, one of the things we seem to agree on is the state of Elusive Targets, and I donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen them speechless before). But when it comes to any kind of balance discussion, they go for the one angle that is heavily subjective to onesā€™ experience, instead of the more rational logic other people use which is more befitting of the conversation. Thatā€™s probably why weā€™re so much like Oil and Water. Now, ā€œFun factorā€ has a place in balance discussion, do not misunderstand. But what is fun for everyone and what is fun for one specific subset of people tend to clash on a game-wide scale.

Iā€™m usually not that dismissive of opinions, am I? I do try to see things from both sides, even if I disagree with it, so Iā€™m a little unsure where youā€™re getting that from? Maybe because you disagree with my opinions more frequently? Maybe I really am too blinded by rage to notice. But on the whole, I donā€™t think thatā€™s true. My goal is to aim for constructive, not destructive conversation. Unfortunately, it tends to break down into the latter if one side is not willing to even entertain the opposing sideā€™s perspective.

And then that lead to the Breakdown: 2024 edition. Coming to Netflix soon!

I hope I speak for everyone when I say that I am tired of this going nowhere fast. It just leaves me angry and unhappy. I am sorry for the arguing, anyone else affected has probably every right to be annoyed at our bickering.

Wee reminder that even though itā€™s not on the roadmap, The Broker Elusive Target has just gone live for the next 10 days, in Paris.

I canā€™t find the exact wording in your post because itā€™s currently flagged (along with Heisenbergā€™s) but the thrust of what riled me and caused my reply above was the accusation that people who agree with Heisenberg in this particular debate (Iā€™m one of them) werenā€™t listening to what you were saying, rather than both listening to you and still disagreeing with you. I tried to offer an olive branch saying exactly that, and was unimpressed that your post above suggested otherwise.

Itā€™s in that weird period between when the previous roadmapā€™s content ends and the current roadmapā€™s content begins.

So is the micro taser. Iā€™d imagine a proximity taser duck to work just like that? And I donā€™t see too much of a difference between placing a duck in a puddle and placing a micro taser and a coin (to get someone, ideally the target, to walk into that trap) in a puddle.

What did he say ? Its deleted.

Is maintenance enough ?

The rubber duck and undying suit litteraly arent in the game files.
Up until now , everything was in the files before the maintenance started.

i canā€™t say anything about that because iā€™ve never had something that topped off that in the hitman community

With the micro taser you have to give up two inventory slots to bring both the taser and coins in, or scour the level to find the latter, rewarding level knowledge. I actually did mention yesterday that I donā€™t think that the remote taser is balanced either (it being non-suspicious is probably worse tbh), but at the very least the plan is a bit more complex to pull off, even if the complexity boils down to taking two items instead of one.

I grant you, itā€™s not much of a difference, but itā€™s there.

Sure, but coins are a dime a dozen on almost all maps, so even if someone really doesnā€™t know the map very well, theyā€™d find them sooner or later.

And we really are in endgame territory here. The maps are all between eight and almost four years old, I donā€™t think ā€œpeople who have played the games for more than three weeks should have an advantageā€ is actually relevant when considering which items to add? They already have an advantage because they know what theyā€™re doing, and know how to not fuck things up, if only theoretically.

If you watch actual newbies play, youā€™re more likely to see people shoot everyone and try to run, instead of building more or less ā€œelaborateā€ traps. :sweat_smile:
I donā€™t think a taser duck would help them too much.

I couldnā€™t resist, but at the same time, I cringed. Two sides of the same coin with this one.
