Content Suggestion Revisiting 096 QoL Changes

Content Suggestions will be reviewed by Content Team weekly, please allow time as not everything can be reviewed at once.

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

  • Even if just only in D-Block, make crouched speed while enraged equal to run speed while enraged - In addition to the planned change of allowing 096 to jump.

  • Implement the ability for 096 to see vague regional locations of 096-1s on HUD.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:

This is a direct re-opening of the denied points in
From December.

As well as the corresponding points from my prior suggestion on this topic last year:

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

  • Improved breach experience for 096.

  • Completely stamps out D-Class abusing vents & railings to prolong their escape from 096 - Additionally preventing instances of chain exposures of 096's face to the D-Class spawn area.

  • Faster breaches.

  • Ease of access to 096 SWEP - Especially for newer players that may not be aware of sub-levels and zones like elevators, or returning players unaware of map changes.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

  • Unsure about any existing implementation of map regions in any functionality, but if there isn't anything suitable, may need additions or adjustments depending on what is present.

  • Requires significant alteration to the 096 SWEP.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

I'm happy that Content changed their position on jumping and I highly anticipate the planned change to allow 096 to jump - But I'm still unchanged on my stance about crouch speed and vents.

As things are presently, for 096 to get any D-Class that are trying to abuse railings and vents to evade him, 096 has to slide around in the vent crouched anyway. I had a 096 breach that got to D-Block earlier today and was reminded why I hate D-Block as 096 and why I originally made both the suggestion linked above, as well as the precursor suggestion to remove D-Block as a pic spawn location.

I don't get the continued resistance to this idea. Even if 096 is able to jump, when you run into D-Block, some guy is always gonna run into vents and then 096 is gonna be slowed down in the vents, then the guy can pop out at the other end, see if 096 is close and then jump the railing when he is. And then head straight back into vents when 096 is out.

"Oh, just turn around" Okay, what're you gonna do about the conga line of MTF behind you? It's just weird and stupid and 096 should just be able to move quicker through the vents rather than have to go through all this horseplay. Like, I'm all for D-Class stuff, but this is something I'd absolutely like to cull entirely. It's ridiculous.
