The title explains itself. I increasingly find revenants bringing the station no more than frustration. I am personally didn’t have a single good round with a revenant where they weren’t just a shitter. But it does not matter. If I will talk about it, I will make a better structured argument, so for now.
Why revenants good for the game? Please tell me your perspective.
Well, I’m certainly not fan of them but i can’t deny they certainly succeed on antagonizing, sometimes a little too much if it’s on the hands of a very good players mind you. There have been instances where I’ve seen poor IPC’s and borgs be constantly targetted, which sucks and at the same time I’ve seen a few good interactions from the Revenants using telepathy and such, the PR that made their telepathy be a runechat really helped them to be a lot more visible, but ultimately it falls on the hand of the revenant player on how they decide to antagonize.
Some years ago when the midrounds were usually picked by ‘‘ghost mains’’ a.k.a players that only wanted to play midrounds to game on the station left a lot of bad impressions on most midrounds that still persists today, from the way they play to general perception.
I still remember the 2-3 months we had revenants back to back every round(this was sometime when we still had pubby so long time ago)… sometimes 2-3 per round. It’s why i stopped Maining IPC. Bad taste is a understatement, I hate the antag with a passion however i don’t let my hate bleed IC since there is Sometimes good people that can RP the role well although that’s rare. It’s usually always someone that makes the round pain.
My perspective/Opinion. It’s shit, would be better if it didn’t have a Emp/stun AOE button. Would be more interesting if it’s goal wasn’t to kill but to fuck with people, yet they just kill.
Fighting against a revenant feels more like a chore than a fight
Revenants are supposed to pile on top of other threats without being outright destructive on their own.
In reality they just grief the fuck out of the station, are invisible half the time and shock people for lulz.
Ghost currently is just annoying.
Doesn’t really help when half their objectives are “make everyone miserable”
Your objective is legalised grief
Waaaaay back, I ranked revenant as the single worst midround in the game. I think ruko called me out because there’s a lot of potential. But people don’t use that potential. So why does it matter?
Hell, I saw a wonderful revenant just yesterday, but it’s not going to make up for the 30+ assholes that offered no contribution or real threat and just made things insufferable.
Revenants are the textbook definition of a griefers wet dream. They already want to make people miserable and the revenant is perfect antag on it, they are basically untouchable, can shock people, emp, disease, kill people who are already in crit.
It’s just sucks to play against or with. I will not miss it if it goes away
They aren’t.
Funny thing, yesterday a revenant told me to go into the morge surgery where there was a spider, I fall in the medbay hal for poison and the revenant proceed to kill me. I think that’s how revenant are meant to play.
I’ve handled more than my fair share of ahelps that come down to ‘this revenant is making my round miserable’ and my hands are mostly tied in that respect because the objective is literally to make people miserable.
I wouldn’t miss it.
I do think that APCs should be upgradeable in part so a revenant can’t EMP the SM room alternatively the SM could have a system to deliver salt with a button call: pres in cases of revenant.
Revenant is a net negative on the game, I agree.
