#1350[patch] Units with long reload time shouldn't all hit the same target
I've been waiting for this one since before 1.10.
When do you think we will see a backport to a 2.x beta?

Re: [patch] Units...shouldn't all hit the same target
There are quite a few developers who don't want this backported to 2.3, mainly because it could have bugs, and the reason 2.3 hasn't been released yet is because we keep on adding new (buggy) features to it... /shrug/ Personally, I'd be fine with seeing it in 2.3, but many other developers disagree.

Just divide in groups, each group for a target, set the "hold fire" option for designating all targets yourself.Ai_Tak wrote:#1350[patch] Units with long reload time shouldn't all hit the same target

I think the way they fire is ok, and makes you think how to make your units dispersing their fire, isn't too hard, trust me.

Kinda hard to do that on two or more fronts...Saberuneko wrote:Just divide in groups, each group for a target, set the "hold fire" option for designating all targets yourself.

Maybe sometime after the 2.3.0 release in the next beta set? Do new features get added in version increments like 2.3.1?Zarel wrote:There are quite a few developers who don't want this backported to 2.3, mainly because it could have bugs, and the reason 2.3 hasn't been released yet is because we keep on adding new (buggy) features to it... /shrug/ Personally, I'd be fine with seeing it in 2.3, but many other developers disagree.

In that case that means now is the time to add it (if no features are added for less than a minor version increment).Zarel wrote:Well, they shouldn't...Ai_Tak wrote:Maybe sometime after the 2.3.0 release in the next beta set? Do new features get added in version increments like 2.3.1?
