Welder Deaths

Lito · September 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">it never fails...</div> This always happens. I'm covering my teamate who is welding something, and suddenly from nowhere, a skulk comes from behind us and nabs my partner. i frantically jump around aand start shooting the skulk when suddenly i run over the welder and it replaces my gun as the active gun. I can't shoot, i can't use last weapon used to switch back. The skulk uses these few precious seconds that i am disabled and owns me.

why, why, WHY whenever i pick up a welder, it gets active?!

CForrester · September 2003

I think they have/are fixing that for 2.1.

Zanid · September 2003

That was "fixed" in 2.0, you must be making this up or lieng for attention........

really now, they said they fixed this in 2.0 and changed the "wieght of the weapon" so it didnt pop up over the other guns, i wonder why it still happens becaue i have the same problems.

eggmac · September 2003

it's not fixed

Geminosity · September 2003

happened with a marine I was fighting as a skulk once but it worked out for him in the end... he welded me to death <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

+use to pick up weapons would be most ideal

UKchaos · September 2003

The problem is not the picking up, its the switching.

nojmaster · September 2003

it can be the picking up as well, say you are a light rine, and you inadvertantly run over the corpse of some base repair guy, and pick up his welder and perhaps a GL, both are relatively useless to defend ones self up close. Also what if the GL only has a couple of shots in it, or whatever, there are loads of situations that can occur, and do occur with some frequency.

Trojan2 · September 2003

Im just happy that they set it up so that if you runn over an empty HMG it whips your pistolia out

Lito · September 2003

It does that for everything else but the welder. You can tell, too whenever your comm pumps out the heavy equipment (HA, weapon, welder), and whenever you pick up this stuff, the welder always gets activated <b>first</b>. So no, its not fixed, and its killed me so many times, its gotten to be somewhat of an annoyance

Zanid must feel pretty darn stupid right about now. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

IMO
If you want to pickup equipment and weaponry, you should press the USE key in order to pick it up. That would be the best thing to do if you ask me.

Impy_The_Lerk · September 2003

this happends with mines also, and i agree the use button should be used to pick up weapons welders mines ect.

yeah, zanid sure made a fool of himself <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>. i dont play rines anymore, but i remember this was a huge problem for me ( as a nub) on marines before 2.0. i would involentarely pick up a welder, then be like, WTH? i want my pistol not this **** welder. and sometimes this happens RIGHT when im fighting a skulk. and the commander r be, OMG weld teh turret factory, and drops a welder mid battle. fun <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Xzilen · September 2003

Yea, people have been asking for that change for a while, I really hope they get going on that, as that truely does suck.

eL_DonkeY · September 2003

I remember an onos was destroying our base and he didnt seem to notice that i was welding his behind every second of it. Needless to say he died. Lotsa laughs.

Im not partial with the idea of use to pick up weapons. As long as this is addressed in 2.1 (i dont like saying 2.01).

Drewbar99 · September 2003

Needless, they think the <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> is almighty & that a puny weilder wont' kill them, well their WRONG <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'>

For those of you too backward to understand basic sarcasm, Zanid did not make a fool of himself, he cracked what is commonly referred to by tech-savvy people as a "joke".

Google it, you may be surprised by the vast new possibilities

(and for those of you who STILL can't figure it out, how could he possibly be serious if in one sentence he talks about the problem being "fixed" (WITH quote marks) and in the next paragraph he promptly uses the words "really now", "it still happens" and "i have the same problem".
