In the master arena, we have one bot using a disruptor.
The disruptor hits everything on the screen, with a damage value high enough to practically kill anyone in a single hit.
We hacked up dialogs a few years ago so Butch warns the player not to go into the master arena because he will get killed there.
This entry is a suggestion for improvements in order to make the master arena actually playable, while remaining dangerous, and fit better into the setting of the game.
1- remove the bot using a disruptor (as a prelude to removing disruptor entirely from the game, since it uses a bit of specific code that does not work well and represents too much maintenance work for what it brings to the game)
2- replace the removed bot by e.g. one 999
3- it is not quite logic that the city guys keep dangerous bots around, and that they let you kill them. How do they renew the stock afterwards? How do they get the bots not to attack them? One possibility is to make the arena be a "holo-arena", so the training would be virtual, but still kill you if you die
<ahuillet> Stedevil : say it's holo training or whatever
<Stedevil> that is an idea... but does that mean you cant die?
<ahuillet> do like they do in the matrix
<ahuillet> say that dying virtually kills you because your brain blablablabla
<ahuillet> or simply that the simulation device is going to send 300A through your brain when you die to simulate the pain
