Yeah how you all know there is a quite easy way to abuse the rpg ability icestab
i gonna explain fast what i mean with it then i come to a possible solution for it (i could make a quick video of it, but it wont be needed)
what is icestab abusing?
It's quite simple. you just skill the ability icestab, hit someone with it so he is frozen and then you switch to a gun and kill him - easy eh? it is very effective and fun - but ofc not for your victim - mostly you get gangbanged at the same time means 1ct knifes you another ct kills you
what is the problem with this/why should it be changed?
the problem is as easy as the use of this: new players dont really have a chance vs this method of playing and mostly quit the server or gets insultive/pissed of which results in rule breaking like spawnkill etc. another problem i see is that higher lvl players like me (current #2) get fast pissed of this (like me lol) and start playing in a way others have no chance, like duals and m249 all in all this way of playing destroy the server climate
what can we do against it?
there are 2 possibilities in my eyes 1. remove icestab 2. i saw this one on another rpg server a while back and i am sorry but i don't know to script it but it is possible to reduce the damage given by weapons (except the knife) to icestab frozen players (not frozen pistol!) to 20-40%, which means it harder to kill the frozen guy and he have a higher chance to escape/kill the attacker. this works really good even if you get shoot by more then 2 players (ofc it needs a bit skill but its much better then)
1. Why u said this? Now everybody knows the ''abuse'' (it isn't a abuse) of frozen shooting. 2. It's not gonna change believe me. 3. It's not gonna removed believe me. 4.

lmk what you think about this
I think icestab must stay and not gonna be changed. I think if mark see's this, he gives me right and it is solved!
Well danny for you its the only way to kill me lol thats why you are against
but trust me everyone complains sooner or later about this and mostly you hear comments like
"stop icestab gangbang noob"
"omg icestab noob"
"no knife noob"
etc
its not only me saying it is not fair there are much more but not everyone is registered here and see this thread
i dont want it removed danny i am for option2 to just reduce the damage you received while you are icestabbed and just the damage from weapons that it is doable proofs my experience with it and its the best way
trust me if i always knife you with icestab while you are within 2 or more enemy you get pissed off too - it just don't make any fun and i want to have fun when i play this game
and btw i dont need to proof that i am good, just play and everyone can get this spot on the list lol
"stop icestab gangbang noob" "omg icestab noob" "no knife noob"
i have noticed the same issue sometimes, the frostknife freeze you and allows enemy players to gang up and kill you, so while 1 of em keeps you frozen with knife the others shoots you. i see people get mad because of that sometimes people its not possible to make so many kills when you only get frozen.
but i think, if its possible, maybe to set the frost knife lvl down so you don't stay frozen all the time when people got full lvl on frost knife, and instead its lower lvl so you don't stay frozen so long and then you got a chance to escape maybe?
