lUlZ!

Nova has one, and no its not the digital camera.

Edit: that lulz was for peachy

Post pros and cons if any about juiceless privates tonight. Oh we also turned off not buying which turned out for the better too. For the record it was the FARTHEST thing from a turtling camp fest, turrets were still going down as fast as they went up, and map control mattered even more because you couldn't just buy juice to turn it around. Anyone interested in getting in on this breath of fresh air that we have given to mnc please send me a friend request, I have some open space on my friends list because some girly men removed me because I turned off juice buying so they can't be good anymore :cry:

con's - turning juice off didn't give chron a way to opt out of his rage so he was extra mad for certain games. Although you didn't directly offend anyone, maybe satoshi, this had to be the worst I've heard you in a long time man.

pro's - essentially what I wrote in my prediction to it happening. Assassin's more useful with pushing bots in because of the fast juice gain it has. Snipers can also gain juice fairly quickly but it hurts the team if they watch the bots. Lots more teamwork, which still needs to be improved. Teams have an idea of what to do but have a hard time holding mid map. Teams seem to be much more aware however when their playing aggressive and holding past mid map. Lots of effort goes into bringing bots in, and even more effort goes to keeping them out. Gunners had to extend and show their true pro slaying power by pushing to the ring or underneath it. Was very useful to do but high in risk.

Eventually I think we'll progress even more into understanding what needs to be done and when to regain main control, and execute it as a team.

I still think bot buying should be turned back on. Although I am not happy having my ball go down by a gremlin, I realize it can be prevented. Depends to see how spammed we get now that everyone seems to have $100's to $1000's in cash.

my recommendation for phase 2: spunky cola might be tolerable lag-wise if there is significantly less juice/gremlins.

give it a shot.

It's so hard to not get pissed at someone who ruined a game by drastically I balancing teams by finishing a pub stealing a spot and not giving it back when I asked so idc if I offended anyone with that. That's just going full retard

While I don't regret my actions to people joining then quitting or overfilling lobbied because you take an invite five mins following a pub match u deserve to be pissed at you but this does not mean I don't want them to come back. Stupid **** like this keeps happening because people who want to be included in privates have a really tough time leaving little stuff to make this work more smoothly for hosts (usually me). That aside I will start working on my in game attitude cause while the double extreme may work for past friends i played other shooters with (harsh criticism to step it up coupled with great praise for making huge plays) I will just keep it positive. But for the love of god someone who won't get steamrolled please start playing gunner because the usual gunners are so sick of it which stems the frustration (even mild mannered wildman gets pissed, constantly being forced gunner irritates the best of us when we start getting raped because the front line playmakers aren't doing well).

Getting forced to go Gunner 99% of the time just gets sooooooooo boring. I want to get good at other classes, but barely anyone wants to trade


Juice buying off = Very good. I can actually upgrade my skills now, so slamming people / bots becomes much more effective. Deploy 3 is great as well against supports :lol:

Bot buying off = Meh. More money went into turrets, but it wasn't too bad to take them down (teamwork is essential to take them down, so I really like that). I think it should be on though, as bouncers and gremlins will make people protect their turrets more if they want to turtle, forcing them to give up map control (a fair trade off).

Keep bot buying off. I, the assassin, believe that gremlin victories are complete and utter bull-**** on account of the fact that they don't even care if you have turrets or people on the bottom sometimes. With no HAIL MARY gremlins and juice chaining, it actually took teamwork and communication to get a ball down, and I would really like to keep that.

Pros: Games seemed like they required more skill, games lasted longer, games came down to what team had better communication and overall skill. (AND THE GREATER SKILLED TEAM SHOULD ALWAYS WIN, NOT THE TEAM WITH THE PURPLE STEROIDS)

Cons: Abso-f***in-lutely nothing, in my eyes at least.

Communication is key.
We all know our jobs, but stating things that aren't obvious is difficult.
Fresh information on bot movement helps, but a teammate not being able to see why he isn't getting support would be the main issue. People ARE moving about the field, the problem is expecting support and getting angry when it doesn't (can't) come.
How can we clear communication clutter and find ways of quickly stating intel that IS important, while at the same time having a backup for when support isn't there.
Perhaps football play codes or something similar....oh, also, not mad. The other team is just more automated at camping/setting up near center than we are, so codes may help. (Am sick of double teaming sins and tank combos, though.) :idea:

The only gripe I have lately is the fact that I want to play tank so I can improve it, but I'm being stuck in a game of fill-in-the-blanks. I understand I'm a vet and I suppose it's my responsibility to help out newer players and such, but it just gets frustrating when I have to keep playing classes I don't enjoy or I'm not good at while people who only play 1 class get to play it and can rely on the "I'm bad at everything else" excuse.

teach em new stuff. pretty much all the classes aside from gunner require more smart thinking as opposed to gun skill.

Gunner is the biggest problem. However this can be solved by a gentlemans agreement to not send certain people out on gunner (lately myself wildman zatchmo and Shammas rape everyone else) so that new gunners can develop and we can play different classes

That would make it a lot easier to get people to switch up their classes. Even I would be willing playing gunner if someone of similar skill level(or lack there of) was playing opposite.

I'll f*cking play gunner.

So...yeah.

I read this Goldie and thought if it came up, why not? Guess who picked last and got gunner...and went 1-x-20 Good job I've got work in a few hours and need to get some sleep. Very hard to play off class against a lobby of Pros. Even if the gunner is the same skill level, you still have the likes of Choiio's assault and chron's sniper to contend with, you know - the sort of player who seems to be awesome at every class. At least we all know now I can't do gunner...ever!!!!
Have fun guys.

Goldie doesn't play gunner for a reason, and that reason is because she's too good at it.

But yeah, Jays played gunner against Gem's gunner tonight and he still had to deal with Chron sniping on host and Chollo on assault.

thats one of the reasons i dont play gunner anymore. i wouldnt have a single problem with chrons sniper and chollos assault if MY sniper and assault where doing their jobs.

9 times out of 10, the gunner doesnt die because of himself, it was because of his team.
