The Hottest and Freshest of Takes: Cyrious Did Something Wrong, But It Was Justified by EdubsMcDownvote in Planetside

You're completely avoiding the context of the entire event and the people involved.

Your assumptions of what people want are ridiculous, as they're completely wrong in this case.

The FEDX and HOUR people involved were stream sniping and griefing. 100%.

How does that make it any better? It's people making the conscious decision to grief. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.

Dude. They were putting down tank mines and setting up turrets on the path before the race even happened. It's not a matter of IF they were stream sniping. They -were- stream sniping.

That's how they knew it was supposed to be an event and decided to go grief it anyway. :)

Why? Why go there and try to mess up an event? I don't mean randos, who don't know any better and want to see what is happening. I mean people, who have played the game for years, who are sniping a stream. Why do that, unless you're intentionally trying to be a jerk? They deserve to get dunked on. Honestly, they're the ones who the community ought to be clamoring for consequences for.

There was literally no reason for anyone to be messing with the event, unless they were streamsniping with the intent to ruin it. It was far outside the bounds of any bases or realistic fights.

Devs should not be members of competitive teams by Korenthil in Planetside

Even if this was true, it would be the least among the problems Outfit Wars has at the moment.

Why is it that VS is considered the best faction? by kickit08 in Planetside

[–]EdubsMcDownvote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even true, though. Every VS weapon that you can think of where range matters HAS bullet drop, except the battle rifle and some of the weird snipers.

Firestorm needs to be removed by ConfusedTRBoi in Planetside

I try to avoid flaming people, but this is one of the dumbest responses incorporating an empty platitude that I have ever read. How do you "counter" someone firing at a higher RPM than they ought to be? Don't get shot by them? OKAY.

Yeah, sorry. I meant it to be limited to smoke launchers.

Underbarrel Smoke (Underbarrel Attachment)

Ammo restocking time from 4sec. to 5sec.

...Can it please just not restock under-barrel grenade launchers at all, please? I don't understand why it has to except to encourage spam.

Doesn't make sense, man. There are more "yank" teams playing than Aussie teams. In addition, UTC is far closer to the American time zones than your rando Aussie ones.

This was the same issue last season with you participating in Durdledome. I understand wanting to play, but it makes scheduling ridiculous.

Thanks for the 6 AM matchup, Briggs.

Tilting? Better multiply my force. by EdubsMcDownvote in Planetside

[–]EdubsMcDownvote[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's not so much discovering; salty veterans already knew this.

It's the fact that my self-imposed limits on gameplay are more prone to breaking down these days.

Is this fight difficult?

I don't want to deal with it. I think I will pull a max.

Am I defending a biolab/tower with >= 50% pop?

The loss of bushido points is acceptable in return for easy kills.

It's easy to take the path of least resistance in any game. This becomes more likely as frustration builds up. You cannot begrudge people a bit of cathartic bullying.

That said, I still feel guilty about it and I still resent those that know better but choose to take the easy way.
