Spy_Theft gamemode feedbacks thread

[Mageziya]

The quality of the bounty rewards varies wildy, a lot of the stuff is completely useless to your "murder all other heavily armed antagonists" objective, and the stuff that isn't is usually extremely robust. In the summary for a recent round one spy got an ammo box, kudzu seed, radio jammer, and a stimpack while another got two boxes of syndie donk pockets, a teleport gun and a safari set.

I was the spy with the two donk boxes and the tele gun. I wasn't able to use the safari kit at all due to being too loaded down with random crap and didn't want to "go hot" by wearing an obvious traitor outfit.

That said, it was my first spy round, so I can give some feedback.

But yeah, the balance of rewards is a little odd.

Spy is hard to describe. It feels like it's almost there, but there's something missing. Some missing motivation between the crew and spies to interact. Like, spy might literally benefit from valid-hunting style paranoia, where anyone seen ransacking a place is perceived as a potential threat, but convincing the crew to act like that would be difficult.

As the moment, Spy might be a mode that works best mixed in with other traitor modes, rather than alone. In a sense, they act as the antagonists to the antagonists, a neutral third party there to ensure there is at least something going on for the antagonists.

That said, the highlight of my spy round was literally stealing someone's leg.
