needs wiki changes. Looks good though |

I'm not against the idea of the PR in general, but I am strictly against making it substantially easier to ascend without also changing what ascension is. Ascension needs to not grant what borders on invincibility to the heretics that achieve it. Mainly this means I am strongly against making influences both more easily trackable and always easily accessible on top of that. |

@Rukofamicom I've removed the influence tracking - I think the new spawning system will reduce frustration compared to tracking (especially for players who are less eager to go all unga bunga in order to get someone on the funny circle) |
|
I'm not against one or the other nearly as much as both together, though I like the idea of tracking moreso than moving them to only public areas I think. This is good enough for me if you think otherwise though, so I'm gonna mark the balance side approved. Anyone else doing a full code review can merge that way. (I don't think I have time to get to it this week) |
|
@Rukofamicom Note that they're not always directly in public areas, just... in the vicinity of a public area (like, not in the middle of a secure area that will have sec crawling up your ass the instant you try to hack in). They can still spawn in a sec checkpoint, or a department area near a hallway (like chemistry, R&D, robotics, etc) |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Considering that they can now find these easilly and they will almost always be in public areas, this seems like an insane amount of influences to spawn. Surely with 1 heretic you almost have enough to reach ascension level on influences alone without doing any sacrafice.
I also think that if they have something that will tell them where the nearest rift is, then we don't need to check at all if the rift is spawning in a location visible to a public hallway. I would honestly prefer if they would almost always spawn somewhere that you at least have to do some hacking/tailgating to get into

Just as an fyi, I have fixed the broken void cloak storage as a side effect of #9337 (it wasn't my direct intention to fix it, I just implemented the code it needed to work using the same variable as was being defined for use in void cloaks, but nothing was ever actually using the variable until my PR) |
I'm not sure on how wise this is |

Since this is about QoL, can there be a way to delete blades remotely since having your blades taken away by sec or one guy who shoved you is basically a round-ender due to the limit on blades owned? |
