We needed to drop in and supply some context for the modifications to the turbo construct timer.
What Changed in v10.20?
We returned the time between subsequent Turbo Build placements from 0.05 seconds to 0.15 seconds in v10.20. This was the worth used as much as v4.30.
Why Change Turbo Build?
We did in order a primary step addressing a number of issues:
- Rapid Turbo Building favors gamers with low ping in disproportionate methods.
- Taking partitions (racing with one other participant to position a wall earlier than them)
- Turtling (frequently rebuilding a wall that’s taking harm)
- Turtling disproportionately favors defender
- E.g. holding mouse button vs. squad taking pictures at 1×1
- Building piece placement accuracy
- Easy to unintentionally place a number of items “at once”
- Spam constructing
- Easy to spam construct
- We need constructing to be a bit extra deliberate
What we don’t wish to dramatically impression:
- How responsive constructing feels
- The skill to carry out 90s
- Rapidly gaining excessive floor by build up inside single tile
- The skill to “waterfall”
- Building wall items as assist whereas falling down
Next Steps
We’re working to implement the next additional modifications and can replace you on social channels as soon as they’re reside.
- Replace preliminary constructing and turbo constructing delay with charge of fireside logic
- First placement is instantaneous
- No solution to construct quicker than a constructing piece each 0.15 seconds
- Note: By itself this doesn’t deal with defensive company of turtling / low ping profit
- Enforce charge of fireside for contested items
- If a constructing piece is destroyed:
- Server waits 0.15 seconds earlier than permitting rebuild
- Players trying to rebuild the destroyed piece throughout that 0.15 seconds are added to an inventory
- There are a number of potential methods to select the winner we’re exploring:
- Coin flip between individuals not at present proudly owning the constructing piece
- Coin flip between everybody attempting to construct
- Favor individual at present proudly owning constructing piece
- At finish of delay, place constructing piece
- Ensures that constructing piece substitute (“taking walls”) shouldn’t be ping delicate
- Ensures a minimal time between a wall being destroyed and changed
- If a constructing piece is destroyed:
