I don't think giving new players a version of the game that's easier to play will give them any kind of help. By doing this, once they 'graduate' from the newblood servers, they'd just get dumped into a brand new game against experienced veterans. Then there's the question of those veterans that...

Yeah, it seems mortars and laser rifles are pretty contentious.

Yeah, I don't like this idea, Immanent. If you don't want to get killed midfield or Mortared on the flag stand, you should move faster, right? Think about changing your tactics to react to new situations, rather than clamoring about changing the conditions to suit your tactics.

I heartily agree. I've never been a great fan of nivo, and it is being way overplayed. While I don't let the map that I'm playing on take me away from legions (because legions is awesome), it would be GREAT to have some more variety, because everybody plays in the small maps servers. Boost the...

I haven't played core in literally months.

Hi Kayar, Firstly, I'm assuming that you have an intel mac, since you could play on instantaction (also, games were platform specific, there were many games that weren't mac-compatible on IA, but that's beside the point.) Anyways, what I have done to play legions is to set up a bootcamp...

Stygian is a great map. It is a challenge, but I've figured out some routes that, when used with some halfway decent LO clearing the flag stand, can get in and out of the base at around 90-ish m/s, which isn't impressive, but with all the hills right outside, that's all you need. There are...

If you're chasing them down with plasma, and you have a snipe, you can't get close easily. Sure you can push yourself along somewhat with the plasma, but boost grenades and skybolt jumps are both probably more effective.

Not true, I know a few people that use the skybolt. Not many, but I've been working on it. It is really devastating against Raiders and OR once you master MAs with it. I also like it for the chasing capabilities.

Not redundant, irrelevant.

I had talked about an idea in a different thread, I can't remember which, I think it had something to do with the controversial melee topic. Anyways, this might work as something else instead of Air Brakes. How about a device that stored your kinetic energy? (I know you'd need a flywheel or...

Yeah, I'm sure you'd be able to change the order of the weapons, though. I know a few of my clanmates that play Hornet wish that they started off with RL instead of LR because then they don't have to think about switching weapons before getting into a fight. Also, if you just want to think about...

I've found that while I don't go too fast, I have a few routes on Forgotten, Zenith and Blade Run that as long as I can grab the flag at 150+ I can make it back to base.

Lanthus Soulcryptic PWA is pretty good I might be top twenty, but NOWHERE near those guys.

Fair enough. I know I usually don't keep all the directions covered except for Elegiac because there's really only three ways to get into the base fast enough. If you had three exact copies of Lanthus on defense, though...

Hear hear on the snipers. Especially on maps like Zenith and Fallout, getting a couple snipers together will make the flagstand nearly untouchable. People complain a lot about 3-sniper defenses but they are complaining because damn, they work. They also can help saw through the LO much more quickly.

Though there is a language barrier, there could be a link to a written tutorial in english in the launcher, since I gather that many new players don't know about the forums/don't bother with the forums. This could have skiing videos, hotkeys, HUD-reading assistance, and weapons guides for now...

If somebody perfects mortar-jumping...

well, he asked for the best, and that would be so OP it would have to be the best, right?

Probably the cluster, but if we were to go into stupid hypothetical possibilities, a raider with a mortar...
