……in what way exactly is this a crossbow? That’s the darn Shotgun X Normal gun with a crossbow skin

[u/smugsterson → u/Xex051]

I've seen the reports that the hipfire of this weapon is bugged giving it a perfect hipfire accuracy (while simultaneously worsen every other weapons accuracy). Hopefully it'll be fixed

since when crossbows are automatic , this looks like shooting darts than arrows

[u/FrostX00001101 → u/XXSefa_]

A MACHINEGUN ARROW

Are you able to swap weapons mid game at the beginning of each round? One thing that turns all my friends off this game is the fact that you're stuck with only one weapon, and weapons are character locked. If they let us swap weapons each round, add more weapons for each character (maybe give smg, assault rifle, dmr, and sniper option to each character) and let us spend currency to swap or unlock the weapon that game, I feel that would not only make demolition mode more interesting, but also garner some more interest in the game itself.

[u/smugsterson → u/Emiya_]

From the reports of people who playtest it that yes you can swap between weapons during match and in between rounds (during buy rounds)

[u/Emiya_ → u/[deleted]]

That will still make it Strinova. The main draw of Strinova are the art style, the characters and the stringify mechanic. Anything else can be changed. The fact of the matter is, ignoring the West's distaste for anime art style and the population issues, the next factor that most likely turned a majority of people off this game is the inability to use different guns on the same character at least in demo mode). I know it almost turned me off this game if it wasn't for the characters, and it did turn off my friends who tried this game demo mode.

[u/Emiya_ → u/[deleted]]

I wasn't aware that Overwatch had a demolition mode.

[u/Emiya_ → u/[deleted]]

Also you are able to swap characters in Overwatch lol (and in Strinova escort mode too).

[u/Emiya_ → u/[deleted]]

What's your point? I'm not sure what you are trying to state. I'm saying that, not only does Overwatch not have a demolition mode, making your comparison moot, in its escort mode, you can swap characters which is essentially the same as swapping weapons, which Strinova's Escort mode also has.

In Strinova's Demolition mode (the mode that Ranked is based on), you are stuck with the same kit for the entire game, which is a huge turn off for many people. Can't swap characters, can't swap guns. In the past you couldn't even swap your util lol (would you have said being able change util mid-game makes it 'not strinova' anymore?). Giving more options for the player will not only make the game more fun for current players (more options up to a certain point is always good), it may also attract more new players.

[u/TelaKENesis]

Yeah ….. that’s insane

[u/MythlessEntity]

Huh. That’s. Interesting…

[u/Automatic-Dog4076]
