Tank Roar

I was wondering if there was anyway that you could make the tank roar a buff. ya know, like the infected yell but only for the tanks and they can use it to make all the survivors fly a certain distance

 

I'm kinda curious about the whole issue myself... but first... what causes it?

 

Being set on fire or biled

 

really? i thought it had something to do w/ headshots... cuz i could swear i remember a couple instances where i freed a survivor from a charger/smoker or simply got a headshot kill w/ veteran pistols and that dumbass tank roar launches me somewhere i shouldn't even be

 

I think Selfishflipper7 is saying that it should be a skill a tank has. When you said "what causes it" I then thought you meant, what would cause the skill to trigger so I replied being set on fire or biled. With me now?

 

yeah kthx.

 

Howcome I can't set any infected buffs in VS.?

 

You have to set infected buffs as survivor.
You have to set survivor buffs as infected.
It's best to figure out your COOP buffs while on a VS server. You can also do it in spec, but that's awkward.

It's locked for a # of reasons, I'm sure, but I can logically say that it's a smart idea because, with the advent of new buffs like Shaman Handler & Knight Handler, buffs can easily be reconfigured out of convenience... This is to prevent that or to avoid gamers having a fast-pick advantage. Great new buffs, small inconvenience of a cost by having to have them rigged up ahead of time.

 

Yes this is what i was talking about. maybe make it so the higher it is the further you can roar them away.

 

Okay so i have thought about it some more and decided that you could put a slow recharge rate on the roar and make it so that the tank can only use it if its health is low enough.

 

Tank doesn't need any new upgrades, buffs or skills. In my subjective opinion, right now tank is totally bullsh*t and it's so messed up, that for me it became the worst special infected in versus servers and none of the new upgrades or skills would make it like it was before the updates. Right now tank has only one priority - cars. And that's so lame... You don't need to think, you don't need any good playing skills to kill survivors, just punch a car in any direction and let it fly and do it's job and that could be done by any player, no matter if he is lvl 10 or lvl 210. Just remmeber when one high lvl tank stopped all the survivors not by using car and killing them all like in 10 seconds, but by using his head and skills and giving survivors a real challenge whitch been taking like 10-20 mins. Now, let's say a high lvl tank appears... if there is no car or that trash container around, it can not do any high damage. It can not hold up survivors in the open area (there is no heal option in !buy system) nor it can block the stairs/ladders (the dmg of range weapon is too high). And the same situation is also with para. I don't know, maybe i am not quite familliar with new updates and skills, maybe i am just too stupid to understand the new tactics of playing as a tank, but for me the old tank was the king of special infected not source of bounty for survivors.

 

The problem is that PR VS looks more like coop server now,seams the creators of update go to favor of survivor,which is unfair, and all upgrades go to favor of survivors, the biggest problem of the tank for me is "WEAK POUNCE",which is annoying specially if some tank is lucky to come inside saferoom the fight annoying rushers, since last update you cant spawn tank where u want and tank can't heal they shoot u easy in less then 2 min. ("to close to survivor cant spawn here" hate that shit)
You can try the fight them but no point when u need hit each survivor 5-6 times before incap him (talkin' about red healt not full health green). So if u fight 3 guys u don't have a chance even if you lvl.215. + u get on fire after 1 sec spawned as tank,
We played this days and tested and its not work 4 me at least like I don't remember before at one guy crawling can survive 5 tanks hit him on the floor(LAG?).
Last night me and my friends from guild tested tanks after all raged server,server was crashing often, 2 against 3 ,they was 3 in saferoom and 2 in infected,we are let in one by one tank inside saferoom, 3 survivors 2 lvl210 + 1 lvl208, shooting high lvl tanks in couple min.So u really have no chance to win without cars.
Second ,tank limit 5 is to much for me and no point,3-4 is enough first 'cos on some maps spawn 7 tanks which make lag, second prefer 3 good tanks then 7 bad.
Tank speed to is ridiculously to ,chasing the runner guy with 5HP and can't catch him.
And for fix all that will take lit time 'cos HC is busy with school, so we need the wait, patience .
Wait when he is back, its to much things to fix it not just tanks, and to much work, and little time
PEACE8)

 

I just think it would be nice to have this because i'm level 115 and i still can't kill any of the survivors as the tank. i think it would be nice to be able to do the roar for some good results. I think it would be more fun for every low level player. It would kind of even the odds between the low levels and the high levels because you could just roar a couple of them off the edge.
