Dante was a special case where what I proposed happend to address a wrinkle in design that, unbeknownst to me, apparently had been discussed sometime/years prior? (Source: @katastrophe)

Thats why I assume the carry over was so quick (I was still fishing for feedback), and think that Merlin probably won't be as sudden.

Both @Galamesh and @mojjj have, from their responses, not actually seen or read about the initial proposal implemented in the [url=https://zero-k.info/Mods/Detail/186]Refumble Mod[/url], because they are partially retracing my steps and are sort of missrepresenting the changes (which is ofc not their fault if theyve not seen it, still not quite helpful either).

Thread
for
insights
on

how
we
got

The most interesting insights for me from playing around with Merlin are longer salvo times and immobilising while firing.

Immobilising while firing creates an interesting moment of both strenght and weakness aswell as a counter opportunity to play around, which could in turn allow for a stronger offensive merlin statline.

Longer Salvo time allows you to reaim your Merlin mid salvo to spread the further rockets or predict your enemies dodge. On the flipside it also allows for the Merlins target to try and mindgame the predicts and dodge away too. The sound and style of fire is cool too.

I think those 2 things would make Merlin alot more interactive for both sides of the field and would be my focal points to push.

Do know I want to and encourage you to get your takes and ideas in and am happy to play or watch test games as I have been, so we can refine into a better end design.
