Problem with Races

Ok seeing how I've played long enough and have every class up to 3800. Deathkilla requested I posted on some of the problems, so here ya go bud. If I find more I will update this topic via edit and posting again.

Classes With Slap abilities: Causes massive lag and will eventually crash the server, mainly the Headcrab race.

Bury skill: If shot too many times, throws enemies through the ground to and endless fall.

Hunter: Critical Strike skill hits the player, not the enemy which kills you.

Classes with high visual shot animations: Causes lag and massive FPS drop. I drop from over 200 FPS to nearly 30 at times due to it.

Massively OP Class and skill: Dante - Fireball (3 shots with a USP with anything near on T team = insta kill everything)

Z-Striker(3900): Z-Bullets - No extra dmg like it's suppose to. MP5Z12 - Gives MP5 only on 1 skill point used, past that it does not give a MP5. N4D3 - Useless as it is only bonus is to crit nade dmg.
Link(4700): Grappling Hook - Visual effects cause server and fps lag; throws enemies at you thus they will kill you and your team from it. Fairy - Respawns you into unescapeable places IE the ground, also burns your life apon respawning for 20-30 seconds for 1 HP each second.

Weak or Usless Classes: Fire Scout (3800) and Ying Yang (3800).
Fire Scout: Can only use pistol and scout, has no extra damage to balance it out, cannot use grenades or it's neighboring Critical Grenade skill.
Ying Yang: 3 Skills only... Can buy 35 life every 30 seconds, Blind does not work, and giving the team 60 extra HP is just a waste. All three skills are useless.

Classes that cause visual and server side lag:

Class (Effect/Skill)

Laser Light Show (Laser Bullet and Laser Shock visual animations)
Dante (Chain Lightning from skill: Fireball)
Raiden (Lightning rings cause massive drops in FPS when using automatic weapons)

Very nice but could you add the races that have these problems...There are many races with effects and I would like to know the exact races that make the server lag... I have heard laser light show lags the server

I can only get you the ones I have unlocked, past that I have no clue until I get them unlocked. Also I won't be able to check most of the custom/private races as I do not have access to them regardless. I've got no problem testing all of them for you, gives me something to do late at night my time when like no one is on.

Ah this helps me alot ...thank you so much...your efforts will be rewarded soon
Thanks

id you would like im kinda higher than he is but i could try out all the races

it would help a lot

when u get find out which class are making the server lag/crash just reply to this post

wow...thanks a lot

i will edit the races in the next update

Also 2 more:
Magic Tiger(Invisable BlackHole Aimable Blackhole) everytime someone uses it laggs the server really bad...
Derelict God(Sure God 100%hp damage)lets put it this way everytime someone or me does this move my computer Crashes so i hve to restart steam and it really sucks! also on the Regular WC one 2

im going to keep these Blood Lord,Lick King,Nova,Assasin,Athena,Jack,Die Xonvert,Blue Mage,X-Iceman the same because they don't seem to lag the server 2 much


Night Thief=did not have a bury skill ^_^..if it is burying tell me which skill i is
Arua master=same thing as above
Sir.electrico=i coun't tell which skill it was...not in english =)

delete Derelict God
deleted Raiden
took off fireball on Dante
i think i fixed Daylight hunter

and i thought i deleted magic tiger....what level is it..i am unable to find it

lol i know those wern't bury but those races do fly the zombies out of the map and it is difficult to get to them so i just added them to that list bc they both go under the map

Dante's Fireball is still in the server btw, Used it earlier today and was chain lightning like a mofo. If you can't remove the skill make the race only use a pistol (Preferably Deagle or P228 only as they are slower firing weapons) and lower the chain lightning damage alittle from the skill. (Btw, this is the best option I see as I don't see or have unlocked any pistol races that are not private/custom races)

Small thought, can this topic be a sticky as I will be updating it almost every time I spot a bug/problem from now on.

ya ill c what i can do on the dante race

ill sticky this

Updated 7/22/11

i can't really tell what you updated ^_^

Everything is still there and most likely bugged until it's confirmed it's fixed then it will be stroked through.
