[Expansion] Rockman No Constancy - Now Updated for v6b!

[SickSadWorld]

Gameplay, balance, layout, appeal etc are all great.

You guys should be very proud. Congrats on this release.

They are there, but they're on the perimeter of the map. If you jump high enough and go above the side walls, you'll see them. You can die on them too.

My bad, I just now saw the spikes when I was playing.

The stages must not distract from the actual fighting going on inside them. The more difficulty gimmicks we implement in a map, the more frustrating it will be to navigate. This is a multiplayer game, unlike RNC we can't afford to make stages difficult to navigate.

I understand; sorry if I might have taken my thoughts on this expansion a little too far. I know I said the maps should be more difficult, but I didn't mean impossible or borderline doable, I just meant that they should remind people of the game's difficulty that it's famous for; and I'll admit, I forgot we're playing in a first-person shooter multiplayer game. Plus I've edited my post about what I still think of this expansion, just know I still love this expansion.

YES IT IS FINALLY DONE!

/me is incredibly happy

Hmm so I played through this and I got some things to say

(click to show/hide)

-One thing I noticed that plauges some maps that I see in a lot of CSCM maps is convolutedness. The maps can be a bit hard to navigate sometimes.
-Other times, they feel claustrophobic, like Wily 1.
-Wily 3 needs explosive weapons. The ceiling gimmick is nifty but there's really no point in using it because there are no good weapons to use on it. The best is thunder bolt, which isn't saying much. Drill Bomb, Ballade Cracker, Hyper Bombs, Crash Bombs, one of them would be very useful on the map.
-Bots get stuck on their spawns a lot
-Wily 4 just is weird. It becomes a huge explosive fragfest, and the layout isn't suited to hectic DM situations. If it was made longer it'd be a good CTF map  

But other than that it's a good map pack that's pretty fun.

I found a problem in wily stage 1 outside, is on the top on the castle.

I was playing Bot Apoc with this and I noticed that if I used a buster upgrade (Bass, Proto, etc), it gives me the upgraded buster, but I keep the green buster. Maybe you could replace the upgrade so It takes away the green buster, too?

What? It should do this already.

Edit: This is probably because Bot Apoc also uses edited variations of the buster upgrades. Try loading RNC after Bot Apoc. You're likely to get other compability issues, but hopefully keeping the hardbuster shouldn't remain one of them.

[Messatsu]

Bot apoc doesn't use any custom buster upgrades or anything.  My only thought is that the script gives BassUpgrade instead of the replaced one.  (you can replicate this by typing Give BassUpgrade) in the console.  For some reason Skulltag is stupid when it comes to replaces.

[TheDoc]

Another Bot Apoc/RNC problem (well, it's a glitch, but it's not a problem. In fact, quite the opposite). If I fire my "hardbuster", it usually gives me another batch of weapons. So let's say I have 5 weapons and I shoot (yes I just shoot it) my green buster. I then rescroll through my weaponry and am pleasantly surprised to find 5 new weapons, giving me a grand total of 10 weapons. I checked and rechecked to see if the buster was a coincidence, but it happened every time. I don't think it happens with the megabuster.

Suggestion:

What about replace ALL Mega Man 2 Weapons with RNC Weapons?

Also, this expansion is cool and the Delay Flame is awesome.

[TheDoc]

Well, because some people like the MM2 weapons. i know I do. Bubble Lead is a powerful arching weapon, Atomic Fire is a freakin 1HKO, Metal Blade is a rapid fire line of death, I could go on.

*Comes out into the sunlight after months away*
Uuugh...how much has changed since I was last here...?
Wait...Rockman No Constancy released?!  It's not the next HL2E3?!  O joy!

I know I'm late to the party as usual, but it's great to see this thing finally getting off the shelf.  I don't have time to mess with it tonight, but I'll look into beating Campaign Mode and then probably join you all online shortly after!

What am I the only one who found the last boss difficult?

[TheDoc]

What am I the only one who found the last boss difficult?

No. Well, he wasn't as hard as I'd expected, but I still got raped from time to time, and those hurt.

[Knux]

What am I the only one who found the last boss difficult?

No, not really. I died a lot while fighting it. That health meter is a trap. >_>

The only stage that really gave me trouble was Metalman. I lost once there, but that's it. Everything else was smooth sailing, thanks to Delay Flame fooling bots and other maneuvers. I got lost in Quickman's stage, and those beams, man. Those beams. Good thing the bots were "stuck" on some places. On Woodman's stage, I didn't have a problem with all of the white or the weapons, and I also liked the music.

I think I had other comments, but I'll post them when I remember them, as that was on last week's Saturday.
