There are two little things that bug me about our beloved/hated spacecow o' doom:

1st - shouldn't it deal damage to you, when it jumps from a walkway over you on your head (i.e. instand death in a can - cost: full stamina and/or selfstun for some time, but not affecting attack abilitys including stomp)

2nd - it can already shake the floor with a footstomp, shouldn't it radiate a circle-wise stomp (the playtested but denied thing) when it misses the headjump from above?
cost: selfstun for 2 seconds => Teamwork



no, this is not ripped from Supermario and no, its not from Hulk, so shut up and comment already ;D

ha shouldnt be ejected but i think if 2 tons fell on my head i would die


co_spacefall ftw with this


i like

It makes sense, I don't know how this would affect ready room...

RR rfk ftw 24/7!

(I am an abbreviation w****.)


If the circle stun was implemented upon not getting crushed by an onos, it would be nice to see an animation where the onos falls and then gets back up within that period.

I would think that if the onos did get the Death From Above (hereto forthwith referred to as dfa) kill, I am trying to figure out why it would cost all of the energy (if I read that correctly) other than to try to "balance". It would take good planning on the onos part to get that dfa kill. It should cost the onos a lot of stamina if he misses so he can absorb the fall.

The other problem I see is if he isn't in combat and is just falling from something to get to a lower level. Do we really want to deal with that the entire way to ms? In order to activate the dfa option, I don't think it should be a weapon select, but rather just jump from the ledge.

Nice idea though. Let's see where it goes.

what if this simply changed stomp, a circular but self stunning stomp? and even without a hive (or just 1>_<) this "technical" stomp was still possible?

i dont like it really, too rare to be useful, how often do you see a flying spacecow?

Radial stomp FTW.

I like that idea only... Not the crushing one. At least not yet.

Make stomp radiate all around the Onos.

!

I was just thinking how humorous this idea would be in the source engine... tip an onos over and roll it down a ramp, crush the whole marine team... bwahahahaha..

As for the ORIGINAL idea, I'm all for it.

for the idea of onos crushing all beneth it im all for it

for the idea of onos circular stomp could work

Sure, I'd go for this.

a radial stomp would be too overpowered. you wouldnt even have to aim the stomp. Though, in this version, its pretty hard to miss a stomp anyways. if you add this idea, i agree with the person who says you will stop, and be immobilized after the radial stomp, for atleast 1 second.

im just tired of combat onos who think it takes skill to devour someone standing still.

Haha that's a brilliant idea. My only question is this; Will this occupy a slot, or is it just when the onos makes that sound from falling?

If an Onos fell in the woods and noone was around to hear it, would it make a sound?

I think only if the onos is deaf...

I think it would be cool to have the onos do damage when they fall on someone, but I don't think the stomp effect should go off. I also I don't think stomp in general should be circular around the onos. it would be way too easy for one onos to stomp the entire marine team and woudn't involve even the tiny bit of skill it currently requires.

i like the idea of a circular stomp if onos lands after a high enough fall ( ie would have to take dmg before stomp happened)

This changes looks to be very situational - having no major impact on the onos. Assuming we're saying the Onos does need a buff (in classic only - in combat they're everywhere) then I would have to say that adding a few hundred health points / armor points would far out weigh this suggestion.

/me in a hurry but takes the time to read and judge fairly

vote no
vote no

(I'll explain later if you want, I ended up with less time than I thought today. Sorry.)

The idea makes sense and is realistic considering the onos is like 2 tons of whatever, but it just seems completely useless. I've landed on a marines head maybe ONCE as an onos (and that probably wasn't even from a high place). The circle stomp thing is ok.. but if you want to stomp a rine that is behind you, turn around and stomp him.. Or a marine that is to the left of you, turn left. And if you are completely surounded by marines ( the only time you'd need this ability), you deserve to die.

It's meant for those situations when a gorge is pretty much screwed up but still runs away, and an onos nearby could help him this way...

well i don't quite like this idea. not even sure if can be in the hl1 engine, but a definite yes for source. i especially don't like the penalty for killing a marine from above. lets say you accidently kill one by jumping on him only to be surrounded by many other marines wielding HMGs?

for that occasion is the radial stomp, if you want.
why not make it everytime if a marine is near, no matter if the one is killed or not...

And penaltys and numbers are allways subject to tweaking.
And btw, it is possible to make functions triggered on contact to other players...

Yes the onos would make a sound and no you wouldn't hear it. End of discussion.

It's been proven Rover.

anything that moves so much to create a great enough friction WILL make a noise.

Place a microphone in a wood, with no one around and record an onos falling. You'll get a sound.

Remove the microphone from the wood with no one around and drop the onos. You'll get a sound, but no one will hear it.

And THATS end of discussion.

You believe everyone ? Go prove it yourself


NOW GET BACK ON TOPIC

(It's a retorical question btw, so don't bother, I'll never shut up.)
(and btw: he said it as a joke, so why the hell are we even discussing this ?)

'cause you are all stupid Trolls >_>
