Early Access version 116

They absolutely are not. Competitive missions have all existed for a long time now.

Yep. Before, there were no phoenix chickens, meaning corn was a free iceman medal and it wasn’t an issue. Now, they exist, corn is no longer a guaranteed iceman medal, yet it’s suddenly a problem. If this sounds like it makes no sense, that’s because it doesn’t. There’s no reason for it to be an issue now if it wasn’t before.

Almost no one. Still, the vast majority is against this change.

Since What version?

they can break the streak now, yes. but we can use another stronger weapons to kill them quickly, special weapons for example, also Phoenixes aren’t a major danger when in low numbers.

Some people has discussed about the power of BX in 8h ago but idk how can i say, but… seem like that: When you reach power 20 from 19, they aren’t changed. And the power of BX will change to MAX when BX reach 24/26/28, not 20.

first version

First one…

Okay? Yeah, cool, but this really has nothing to do with what we’re talking about.

I think if it doesn’t specifically display the words “OVERHEAT!” or “COOLANT APPLIED”, then it shouldn’t count against the medal because the medal only says “not overheating” (although the weapon description does say “when overheated”, I don’t know). Not overheating is only worth 20,000 points, while you can already miss so many enemies on using it to go for the medal (and I don’t think many players are interested in farming this medal anyways).

Reworking on Corn is fine too, but it’s not as cool as keeping the coolness medal. This needs discussion though, you should undo this change until the Corn stats are finalized.

Add more points to Iceman. Plain and simple.
It’ll be more worth going for, and getting it is more challenging now anyways due to fire chickens, so more point reward is needed.

Pointless chickens (and chicks) should probably drop nothing when killed, but in exchange, the bosses that summon them will drop firepower and gifts when advanced to the next phase more than usual, so that players are encouraged to shoot down the bosses instead of the chickens and not really progress a whole lot

Suggestion: add an Item Training level type

Yes, in a lot of ways it’s inconsequential, so it’s fine either way. However, I am perplexed by how important it seems to be to people. Ok, let me quickly check something:

Have you ever personally used Corn Shotgun in a mission specifically to gain an Iceman medal? I.e., because you wanted to use it as popcorn and still not lose the medal?
  • Never
  • Once
  • More than once

:warning: I will be validating these results against your actual mission history, so try to be honest :wink:

Initially it was an oversight. As I explained, the way it’s implemented is that Corn circumvents the whole overheating mechanism, so the signal to disable the medal never gets through. When the issue first came up (many updates ago), I looked at the code, but decided it would not be worthwhile to complicate it just to take Corn into account. Looking at it again in the past few days, however, I discovered a much simpler way to actually implement it, so I thought “eh, why not”. I did not expect it to become such a big deal.

Yes, that would be more consistent. But it would complicate the implementation again, which is the reason I avoided making the change in the first place. Now I’m leaning more towards reverting the v.117 change. Argh!

Improved in v.117 :medal_sports: Idea

Disabled in v.117 :medal_sports: Idea

Exception for what? It’s not on the list.

Ooh! +8 points for difficulty, +1 point for low weapon power, +0.25 points for style. Total 9.25 / 10 :star: .
You lost some style points because you stop firing every single time you’re dodging the green lasers, which is not always necessary.

I don’t remember lol, I guess I’ll say once.

Funny how Asteroid Vortex doesn’t even spawn any chicken, but you still disabled Phoenix in that wave

it’s to somewhat save heat
and to show that i know i won’t be able to hit the mysterious ships at times without taking a risk (with the ship recoil)

I would protest to leave them in this wave. you can kill them before they react.

I won’t protest more if the change gets reverted, but remember here that not all the CIU players check this forum or know about this poll and I rarely see someone here use the shotgun. besides competitive missions exist and Iceman medal alone can make a difference. Please keep them in your mind.

Edit: I honestly didn’t use it before to get the medal. but the ways it can be exploited with triggered to report it.

And here are the results to the poll you asked me @InterAction_studios
Since the poll is too deep down by now I thought it’s safe to close it since I don’t think anyone else is going to scroll up this long if they don’t know this existed in the first place.

Can you do the same with Grand Prix?

ia please review my opinion
