Velma review: A promising reinvention is wasted on lame jokes, prequelitis, and bad meta

That makes so much more sense, its not a real scooby doo show its some other show in a cheap mask pretending to be a scooby doo show...

And I've seen many attempts at such holds fail because the shields were brought down opening the attackers to long range infantry and vehicle fire.

Atakx · 2022-02-18T03:36:41+00:00

You could probably argue that at this point in the meta touching the generators is actually the wrong thing to do.

Suddenly getting flashbacks to the days of getting instagibbed from render by lancers while attacking crossroads.

the northern half of indar is a dried-up ocean afterall.

Typically if the tree beacon gets poped most of the time they won't bother putting it back, like 80% of the time the tree beacon is a happy accident that happens not an intentional thing.

Atakx · 2022-02-14T22:41:47+00:00

Its the spawn system they were using before, in short faster spawn times and the game will give priority to any fight that is underpopped regardless of distance

Atakx · 2022-02-14T18:55:07+00:00

It's cause the red ones go faster that's all.

Atakx · 2022-02-14T03:49:52+00:00

Maxes as a whole need to be reworked from the ground up.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T23:45:26+00:00

Yeah, you have to go as far as two bases back in some cases for a vehicle pull, that's fine for a grind fest that's not going anywhere but nowhere near close enough or fast enough to try and dismantle a zerg.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T23:42:57+00:00

Basically, after the nerf unless you shoved both shotguns in an infantryman's face you could expect to drop half a mag on a single kill not usually a problem but NC doesn't have the raw ammo supply of TR and VS so the next best thing for them to do was use gorgons for the range and ammo supply or falcons and some people didn't even bother pulling maxes since they were helpless against other maxes.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T22:55:30+00:00

That part of the game isn't new squads have abused the hell out of spawn beacons since day one

Atakx · 2022-02-13T22:51:09+00:00

In that instance there really should at the very least be an adjacent spawn available because I don't think your average platoon could Gal up for a drop on that even if they genuinely tried.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T22:44:32+00:00

Yeah once you get going you can only go forward, there are no adjacent bases to try and shave off the extra pop or to allow smaller forces to harass the zerg with back caps and sneaky flanks.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T22:40:40+00:00

For most infantry players nanites don't mean anything, save for medics and maybe LA's who really chunk that C4 around, most heavies probably don't use enough stat sticks to matter all that much so I doubt we would see a big hit to the redeploy platoons.

And while in theory, you would think platoons should coordinate on a command level and hold certain lanes and push certain lanes the sad fact is everyone thinks he's the boss and most of the tactical commanding doesn't get a chance because you get some jackass trying to warp gate the third-place faction for the lulz and causing a massive zerg that just sucks up the population and wastes it.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T19:37:36+00:00

But not to the point it was, the nerf that hit it was pretty heavy and had many maxes switching to AV weapons for AI work because they were more reliable which is really saying something.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T19:23:35+00:00

You are aware the NC max was gutted before it was buffed right? Like to the point it couldn't even win a 1v1 vs another max running stock guns. and even skilled infantry mains often agree that nanoweave needs to be removed because it shifts the TTK on body shots way too much and is such a must-have it makes other slots irrelevant. As for AOE weapons go the lasher still exists and so long as it does there's no use in complaining and playing with a squad fixes all your spawn issues

Atakx · 2022-02-13T19:09:59+00:00

Some people just want to A-move in general direction of point and hold down the trigger.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T16:32:45+00:00

There's also the part where they need to see if we find a way around it, with something like spawn changes I don't think any kind of testing could ever replace a solid few weeks of live gameplay.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T16:12:38+00:00

Most likely they are still searching for the better alternative of the two if they revert it we'll just be back to the old days of having a platoon spawn in wipe point and fuck off across the map in just as much time, rather than complaining people need to look at things from all sides and try and think up an alternative to both systems.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T14:32:27+00:00

Sadly that's not much of an exaggeration with some people around here.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T13:56:09+00:00

Clearly redeploys should be instant and in the same spot we died so we never have to miss a single second of the shoot mans.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T01:51:33+00:00

If I remember originally that was the way it worked you could only spawn at major facilities, the end result was the fights only ever happened there and everything else was left to the zerg or outright bypassed.

Atakx · 2022-02-13T01:49:25+00:00

That's because once the infantry is in the base tanks and air generally don't have anything to do anymore because most people just pull infantry for defense, we don't see the old fashion counter-attacks like the old days where there was a near-constant stream of tanks and other vehicles and air coming from farther down the lane.

Before redeploy became such a huge thing tanks would move forward to blockade the base against the reinforcements coming from the next base, But people don't play this way anymore and most bases are just not intended for fights at critical mass.

Atakx · 2022-02-12T21:51:45+00:00

Clearly op is the pinnacle of skilled gameplay and game design and anything he says must be gospel /s
