Title: Irritating game bugs to fix
Post by: felekfelek on August 26, 2024, 08:03 AM
Can someone in next release of game fix those things?
1. When you are jumping at the very end of your turn and press double enter to make back jump, but the second enter is ignored by game engine which result in jumping forward rathen than backward, that might lead to jumping out of the edge and killing/hurting worm.

2. When your move makes damage to other of your worm or your enemy's worm (for example - when you touch a mine that pushes it), but the damage is not substracted from the worm yet, you continue to play and for example touch other mine, the mine starts beeeping and then game engine decides to subtrack that damage. Turn timer is stalled, you cannot move, but mine keeps on beeping and susdenly it explodes, which results in losing turn.

3. When "damage does not end turn" option is turned on, you get damage (which results in dropping your health to 0), but the damage is not subtracted yet, you still can move your worm (jumping), but you cant collect crates.

4. When golden shotgun is turned on (2 bullets of shotgun released per one shoot), you can't aim during the first shoot.

5. When you shoot the rope, timer is stalled. This can be abused to
a) break the game when one player decides to press space non-stop
b) increase the turn time when moving by pressing space during jumping

6. What is the direction at which your enemy is pushed (left/right) when you use drill against him? Is it random or it depends on some magical thing?

7. Allow removing the texture of water weaves, just like in worms2 where you could see where land ends and water starts. (see photo)

I agree with you in number 1. It could be at least a scheme option, but I think it could be implemented completely in game, because this affects gameplay a lot. Bad experience to all.

Number 5: there is already a scheme option for this since rubberworm in 2008 and 2020 in WA v3.8.

Number 3: Is funny the way it is, but it could be a scheme option.

Number 6: yes it is random, but there should be an option to don't be random.

Number 7: there is a feature of a program made by CyberShadow that can do this. Some people use even today. Some people consider cheating, so it's not allowed in competitions. I totally agree with you, this should be like pressing delete or the button to change background. At least as a scheme option.

Number 4: it is annoying, yes, but people can get used to it. It could be a scheme option too.

Number 2: this will not happen if you never stop walking. If you stop by a fraction of a second, this will happen. So, it's all about being a pro and don't stop moving until you pass the second mine.

2 and 3 -> If you are ONLY walking, it will happen. You can walk at most for 0.5second, then you need to jump, then again walk at most 0.5 seconds, and jump, and so on.

#1: In this scenario you can use backspace,enter to try a back jump safely

#1 is a skill issue not a game engine issue

Stop telling bullshit. If game sometimes receives your input with completely WRONG behaviour, it is deliberately bug.

I wish you that next time you pay out your cash from ATM machine and when the machine will suddenly starts taking back your money before you had chance to take all of it away, I hope you will get notification from the ATM service that this is your skill issue, not the machine  bug.

@felekfelek, dial down your tone. Not everyone has to agree with you. Keep the conversation respectful.
