The petrification wep glitch

[DW_FrankyTheFly]

Anyonne have noticed that the petrification weps are too powerfull. Someting went wrong in the process of transiting the stats from null to petrification because anyonne that have a petrification mp5 can just kill anything on a map. I also notice some player "abusing" this glitch way too much. By doing this there score is unreal and all other players cannot get any kills.

I was holding a freezing +6 mp5 and a petrification +6 mp5 in a level the other day and even if those 2 modifiers are suposed to have the same stats its obvious that the petrification is twice or even more the power of freezing.

I got screen shots of what kind of score you could get with that glitch modifier and I really think its time someone do someting about this (Wail can repaired it i hope). For privacy reason I hide the name of the players involved in those screen shots, i dont want anyonne get into trouble because of me.

It's a powerful weapon in capable hands, I see no conclusive evidence that it is glitched.

Unlike you, I see no difference between a freezing mp5 and a petrification mp5. Except for the obvious different effect. Both of which are handy for different applications.

I don't believe that there was any transition that would've affected the damage modifier. Mainly just the name and texture right? Maybe I'm wrong there.

Maybe this person had a good day, maybe you had a bad day. Either way, just because it works better than others, doesn't make it broken. I've beaten both of those scores with a rage mp5. Should rage be changed?

I haven't noticed any difference in strength with the petri/null since it got put back to it's proper +6 status. The MP5 of that flavor is quite possibly the best killing weapon in the game (although I -am- partial to vorp shocks! ;) )...couple it with a triple and maxed damage bonus, (this from my WM perspective..it's even more kick butt if you're AM and plus one that puppy!) you don't need any other weapons on most maps.

There's also the player level/monster difficulty to consider. Looking at that player list, doesn't look like there were many high levels in that game....mostly low and mid levels with a couple of pwners at the top..making for easier monster kills since there's so many spots to hide in safety.

Scoring difference isn't that wide a margin...a little over 1900 points? One or two Luci kills in an otherwise close game? What were you using, Franky...just for comparison purposes?

And when all is said and done....it is a team effort..yes?

If you compare the code for Null and Petri, there is very little difference. They both add 5% damage per + (as does freezing), they both have a min and max of 1 and 6, and they both make the target stop in its tracks. I doubt there's any advantage with a petri over a null atm.

Remember, if you +1 and then double a petri or null it does an extra 70% damage, and nearly all the shots hit the target. If you +1 and triple it, it does an extra 105% damage.

I'm pretty sure that null +6 (or +7) wasn't that powerfull because i dont remember me killing a titan in less then 0.5 seconde (like the petrification do) even with the triple on or with the double magic modifier on.

I did play alot in invasion (more then 1 year) and i can tell for SURE that petrification is more powerfull then null was. Like i said i did some test with a freezing +6 with triple and i calculate a titan kill in about 1.5 sec and a titan kill in about 0.5 sec with a petrification +6 with the triple on. So if the 2 weps are suppose to be the same stats then i just saying someting not right here.

Well.. I don't use Petrification enough to see anything wrong with it but if there is a difference, I'm sure Franky would be the one to notice it :P

p.s. whoever the unknown guy is must hax to beat Franky!!

Hmm I actually think the old Null was better than the new Petrification. If you have either one and your a high enough lvl you can still own. I think Franky just doesnt like to be 2nd :sign5:


Just messing with you Fanky :)
