Detonations.

[danojaye]

Im a bit annoyed right now as 3 games in a row.. ' detonation '. The sad part is in 2 of the games, all I did was went to a cap and ' boom '. Killed before I ever was able to fire a shot in the game, Most entertaining thing about it was the wait time in the Queue was longer then the gameplay on both occasions.

 

People will say ' run the flags '.. you can STILL get detonated.

 

I can see a LOT of damage, half your ships health gone in one shot.. but entering into a game and not even being able to get a shot off?

You just had some bad luck. Tell us what ship you were in, some details and stuff

[Morpheus29]

Well, were you using the signal flag? I haven't been detonated in forever.

Detonations seems to be more common and come more often in 0.5.9

 

Previously I had only had a handful in 4100+ games. Since this patch I have had three. Two in a row in successive games), and I have seen several, caused three. Way too much methinks.

So where you in a Destroyer? Cause thats explaining a lot..

[Crucis]

Yep, DD's can get detonated quite easily.

[OffShorePanda97]

I don't recal being detonated in 0.5.9. I mostly play DDs

Getting detonated or killed from full strength with one volley from an enemy is definitely unsavory. But since I kill enemies this way more often than it happens to me......it's all good, just a part of the game. I usually commend the fellow for his good (cough RNG cough) shot.

detonations a crap only liked with people with little to no skill.

I absolutely think detonation should be a thing, but I wish it was basically activated only with a magazine citadel or some equivalent with torps (of course this would require low caliber guns to have their magazines modeled now).  I think it's regrettable that it's completely random as far as I can tell, as I've seen it come from HE shells.  Of course getting killed in one volley, whether that's a big torp salvo or several citadel hits from artillery is another matter.  That absolutely should continue to work as it does, that's a good torp salvo on target or a well-aimed volley respectively.

I just wish that if you get detonated, the death explosion is more spectacular. Because now, its eh, I don't know if I got detonated unless I look at the chat box. I wish that if you get detonated, it's a tremendous explosion of fiery heck.
