1. Most euro players think HERPDERP and shoot mortars at their teammates.but most of the euro players do think so
2. Now really, those that have a problem with the constant TKing are mostly blaming the users not the weapon.
3. Since when is the 'majority' right about what's good for Legions anyway?
The real 'kryptonite' to the skilled players is the idiocy of today's typical gamer and the reason why many of us are here playing Legios and not games like CoD is because CoD is full of weapons/tactics that enable this idiocy to shine. Unfortunately mortar is such a weapon, but at the same time it's a 'valuable addition' to the game so instead of changing the weapon we must somehow make the experience of TKing unpleasant.I'm tired of discussing about the mortar and what appears to skilled players problem to me sounds like their kryptonite...
I use GLS constantly in CTF and I use skybolt in duels/TDM, I also know other people who use them. And I'm somewhat effective with them so don't you discard these weapons. Though I admit that BR is useless.Besides GLII works so good that no one uses it, just as useful as the new skybolt.
So many people on the forums are saying that they hardly play the game nowadays and that it's because of the mortar.
First of all I think that they are overreacting and that the case is really being overblown on these forums by the few of us that seem to not have developed the virtue of patience/ calmness. Mortar TKs are annoying, yes, but some people (especially rip) are overreacting. If you think that mortar is a good enough excuse to leave the game, go ahead.
Next up: although your whine/ proclaimed absence is noticed on the forums, you aren't missed in game at all, sorry. EU PUBs are better than ever, a while ago I've seen 2 games of CTF going on at once + a few people toying around on the duel server. You cannot be fully community-aware if all you do is post on the forums/attend the PUGs and only do the PUBs occasionally. If we were to say that the skilled-end of this community is the high end then I'd say that the low end is slowly getting bigger/funner (at least for me) than the high end.
You might have noticed that I don't do PUGs. The reason for this is stuck up skilled players who constantly think that they are the last ones of this community (hence the 2nd last line of MJ's post below) and that therefore their opinions are the only ones (hence Rip's quote above); who constantly play the game in the same way; who discard certain tactics as the right ones or the wrong ones (don't wanna dig this here); who never try to use the new guns seriously (hence PWA's quote above). PUBs > PUGs for me, they are just more fun.
Uh, so summarizing the mortar topic; the game isn't as broken as it seems on the forums (unless MightySheep joins the server), vets are overreacting and are not really fun anymore, devs can't see the issue clearly due to the amount of whine on the forums. Kthxbai.
EDIT: Wanna see some more overreacting? Go here
