Feedback: Little use for redstone arsenal with TF2 Stuff Dispenser #21

Pack Version 1.0.3 Not sure if this is the right place for feedback, if not please let me know where. Firstly, loving the blend and direction of the pack, not full of too many choices on how to do things so I get lead in to trying out new mods. Got kitchen sink fatigue. I'm not seeing much reason to build the redstone arsenal tools once you get a TF2 Dispenser. Before any TE machines or even mining I have full diamond armour and a full set of emerald tools from clearing two buildings. With the ultra portable dispenser to repair everything for free there is no reason to build any RSA tools so the mod is not serving a purpose.

We've actually run into this very same issue, and it's definitely being worked on. We have already (in some pack updates) disabled some "Obsidian Armor" gear that was ultra-cheap and far better than anything "Redstone Arsenal" was capable. We are still focusing on this, and hope to offer some better incentive towards making that armor long term.

At present it should be noted that there are some updates coming to the TF2 mod in the near future which will add a 'build time' for constructing any TF2 structures like Sentry Turrets, Teleporters, or Dispensers. This means that you won't be able to just 'drop down' a Dispenser in the middle of a fight and start getting repairs IMMEDIATELY.

Presently however, the best thing I can say as use for Redstone Arsenal Armor is as "Sniper Stopper Armor". It's amongst the only armor in game presently that will keep you alive while being hit by sniper fire.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks, TF2 is really down to RNG as lot. With the wrench being uncraftable. Hmm, maybe I can trade for one. I don't think you should be allowed to move the Dispenser at all after placing it. Make people save it for bases.

Angels of Vengeance Defender only seems to work with wooden shield. The diamond shield doesn't get the buffs.

100% agree with obsidian armour, it's too cheap.

Flight: Hang glider + Teleportation wand. Feels a bit OP together, suggest drastically increasing the energy consumption of the wand per use.

We've submitted a note to the AoV Mod Author about it only supporting vanilla shields. No word back just yet.
