I really like the potential of the periscope idea. I love the little notification of ‘you feel like you are being watched’ making you pause to inspect your surroundings to find out whats going on.
However…come on. Knock back. Ranged. Spammable. Who in there right mind thought that was a fun and engaging concept?
I even had the situation where I had killed one, did a few bits and bobs in the area and as I was moving on it respawned and knocked me down another 3 times when I was just trying to pass through!
Argh. Frustrating game mechanic is frustrating!
