more wraiths please

[Ed Venture]

They're rare enough that people don't get sick of them but not so rare as to be forgotten.

I disagree. Seeing them once a month and only getting to play as one once a year outside of Admin gifts is nothing but a bad thing. They can be rare but they should be slightly more common. The only reason they are so rare is because they want them to be in rounds where there are more than one antag. I think Wraiths can work on their own with no other antags. I've been in rounds where no antags did anything and I was still able to have fun. Just had to think differently, use my insane movement skills while using haunt and be patience and let the crew kill themselves. Most of the time I die as a wraith due to my own mistakes.

The Crew for sure needs more ways to fight them and even if walking over salt is annoying I still get hit by salt all the time due to my own carelessness. Maybe leave some items in small numbers in the chapel that can disrupt Wraiths spells by clicking on them.
Say a possessed locker is coming at you but you have the holy cross or something and are able to hit the locker and return it to normal. Give it ammo or a few charges that require a cooldown, or even a Area of effect that drains it completely that takes out the small items and a chance of forcing the wraith to become physical if it's caught in the AOE. Oh and anyone can use it as well. OR holy frag grenades where if you are hit you go into haunt mode and the crew can then chase the wraith.


It's a shame cause I feel Wraiths are the coolest antag mode we got and they are hidden away for what I feel are very poor reasons.

Why was salt scuffing implemented anyway?

To frustrate the sole crewman laying down salt piles until they decide to give up. At the very least, walking should completely remove the chance to salt scuff.

If you ask me walking or having help intent on should not scuff salt. Half the crew runs around without help intent on anyways so it would be balanced.
