Suggestion Declined Suggestion: Donator Resize and Damage

The taking damage thing is generally to prevent annoyances of some kind I suppose. For example, if a resized player were to exploit in some way, or was being annoying in some kind of manner then the other team can stop them. It's also probably there because we don't want donator to have a higher status then normal players when it comes to having perks that may affect gameplay (Your idea is literally godmode). Donors are just donors, and they receive fun perks that they can play around with because they donated to Harpoon.

 

Nailed it.

 

Dont like getting killed, then ive got the thing for you!
Its a little complicated so bare with me.
Step one: Stay in spawn
Step two:Change teams
And there you go!
I honeslty hate when people complain about getting killed on a trade server, if you wanted to be friendly go to an actual friendly server its not that hard. I Always have to get called out on being a '' friendly killer '' or a ''tryhard'' and it makes me so angry that people are so ignorant to just leave the server. Your idea literealy will cause many donors to miss-behave when admins arent online, imagine a god mode pyro airblasting you in a corner just for you to die from one of their team mates. Not really fun, is it?

 

I mean don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to be a friendly hoovy on the battlefield giving sandviches to everyone. However, there are too many problems that come with having a godmode for a donator. I'm going to list off all of the gameplay disturbances that would happen with this.

Guarenteed
1.) Pyro Airblast
2.) AFKs leaving spawn door open
3.) Preventing Heavy Boxes
4.) Exploits
Many Others?...

And as I said before, we don't want Donors to feel more powerful then regular players just because they donated to Harpoon for gameplay breaking perks. Like Nicholas said, just either

1.) Stay in Spawn
2.) Change Teams
3.) Fight Back

There are pros for a no damaging, non damaging player, but there are too many problems with it when you think about the gameplay associate with others who don't have it in the same server. I hope this makes you understand that it's just not possible...but a donor room would be nice.

 

@some goober

Thank you for your suggestion, but we are not implementing this at this time. Taking damage while being resized can be annoying, but I believe it's fine as is. There doesn't seem to be a need for this sort of functionality, given that not many people use the resize command while outside of spawn. Another thing to note is that the Sourcemod plugin itself doesn't have capabilities to prevent damage from other players, only prevent damage from the person who was resized towards others.
