dukeisaac Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Hi ! Love the game, almost 600 hours recorded. One thing though: I really dislike the wall placement system, its often hard to properly place one. Any way to ameliorate this ? Thanks Edited February 21, 2019 by dukeisaac 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldRimmer Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) .... any way to ameliorate this ... Glad I still have my dictionary from 1790 otherwise I would have trouble knowing what you want! A circular wall would be useful Edited February 21, 2019 by ArnoldRimmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crucis Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I think that the bet way to do wall placement would be to have 2 aim control points on the wall when you're trying to place it. One at either end, or one at about 1/3 from each end, or even one aim control point in the dead center and the other at one end or the other. This way, you could "anchor" one end of the wall (or the wall's center) and then use the other aim control point to get the angle right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshae Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 You should be allowed to rotate the wall while you're moving it about with the mouse. But really it's a 'meh' for me. 1 Quote "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daven Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have barely read the topic but i like that word 'ameliorate'. I will attempt to use it at work tomorrow. Thanks. 2 Quote nowt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aranduin Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The Wall need a better system. In my opinion mark 1 point for one end of the wall and mark a second point for the other end of the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukeisaac Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Obsidian could probably find inspiration in the old wall placement systems of rts games like Age of Empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheisEjsing Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I agree. Walls are pretty hard to get right in the game. Just like in real life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartoons Plural Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 i'll argue they're so powerful they should be hard to place, vast amounts of arcane energies and so on and so fourth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Would be cool if you could just draw a line on the ground (with a finite length). Ha - I guess then people would draw a fat dot under a single enemy to hit him multiple times per tick. I don't find them "that" hard to position by the way - once you get the hang of it.

It is annoying though. An ability to rotate the wall would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzar_monty Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Given the success of the word "ameliorate" in this thread, may I point out that better wall placement would allow us to have a nicely "murated" defense? The latter word has apparently been used in print maybe once since the 18th century. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katarack21 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Absolutely, this would be fantastic. As it is, I hardly ever use walls because I can *never* get one placed usefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
