How to fix celerity

.ADHd

Make celerity so that you have to press a button to start using it (Think onos charge) while using celerity you will not be able to attack you have to let go of the button and lose all your speed before you can begin attacking.

This is the only way to prevent the exploiting of this new addition. I see where Flayra is going with the concept but, no offense, the delivery was poor and not very well thought through in my opinion. This ability needs to be restricted so that it doesn't turn into a cheesy gimmicky exploit friendly thing.

EDIT: Perhaps make it simpler by making it so simply double tapping W will activate celerity. Just more user-friendly.

Slow down when you make tight turns? You can do 180s and whatnot currently with no speed penalty. More is needed than that obviously but I think it would help... your solution is interesting adhd, it would make celerity primarily a traveling device and much less a combat one. I think they could make it work as a combat/opener, but they need to reduce the speed bonus across the board, it's simply too fast atm.

Sharp turns should slow you down. But I love the idea of skulks taking the long way to a room just so they can get more speed before throwing themselves in the enemys face.

Just make your speed drop when you get shot.

It does, but skulks close the distance to the marine before the marine hits them once. That kind of defeats the point of them slowing down in the first place. They're already exactly where they want to be: on top of you.

How about giving celerity a permanent speed boost? Nah, having one alien upgrade useful in combat is enough.

sorry this isn't ns1, everything has to be overcomplicated and wrong

The speed gained from Celerity could be more gradual.

Why not split the bonus into an initial base speed increase (of +5~10%), and an out-of-combat bonus?

The current maximum speed boost is quite ridiculous. As it increases Kharaa "ambush" range, while making them difficult to hit and be intercepted.

How about a system that determines if you are in a certain radius of marines, as long as they aren't behind an impassable wall or something (perhaps calculated by using the pathing for the workers) so that way if they pass by marines they can't just run up right next to them and get a cheap shot in

I would say slow it down a little for skulls....Not for gorges though, it is awesome for gorge race horses!!

I do like the idea that ADHD came up with and how Rant expanded on it with the idea that it might be an opener. Making it button would allow you to have more control. This would allow for some ridiculous game play, in a good way. Since everyone would be able to do different style of an opener and the maneuvers would go way up (e.i. JetPack Fix). With this in mind remember that it would that celerity would be slowed. I would say the more control of the abilities we have the better!!!
