MWLL Sits Down with No Guts No Galaxy Podcast Crew

Heh, I wouldnt go quite that far :p I would like to see them pushed into closer range combat, not a damage nerf but a reach decrease on their lasers. But until/unless c8 works better I don't think its necessarily a good thing to do.

[CGB [CoffiNail]]

Wait... you want BA to need to get closer? What are you on nemo i would like some of that, must be good.

How often do you play as a BA? what, the 175m for the pee laser is not enough for you? BA need to stand 20m away from you? They die in one, maybe two hits depending on weapons.  Getting close will only happen when and if the claw gets implemented.

[AXEL]

Screw the claw, I enjoy playing BA and even I don't want the claw. It would be too easy then.

[[CW] Errodien Ward]

Even so, their presence prompted you to reposition. I'll go ahead and give you the benefit of the doubt that the position you wanted was a tactically/strategically sound one.

In tsa if he pops you with a ppc on your ct three times hell make more points than hell lose by dying. A good ba will almost always live long enough to come out with a favorable point gain/given ratio, and a god ba like ero is as terrifying as a fafnir.

You flatter me sir.

[ArmyUnit]

Battle Armor are only OP when a certain KnightCrawler (I think that was his name) is playing as them.   

[~SJ~ Xarg Talasko]

KnightCrawler makes my Fafnir rage

[xInVicTuSx]

Sorry Knight and Errodien, you two just annoy me.

Angry Marine actually scares me, hes fappin crazy. I run away from him. 

[Spooky]

Hm... I consider Angry Marine on the same level as them. I often have to run away from all of them .

[Nemo]

stuff

I see ba as either sniping and tagging, chewing ankles, or running counter BA. I want a clean distinction between the roles and I'd like to see the ankle biters on peoples ankles. And like I said, that can't happen until the gear is working properly. Bear autocannon needs to terrify BA. AC2 could probably use a similiar choke treatment to what the racs just saw, maybe at the expense of RoF. Lasers should have less reach, heavy laser specifically would need to work in closer, and grenades just need to work period.

[Knightcrawler]

Thanks for the compliments guys. Xarg, at least a Fafnir has enough armor to tank all 8 of my C8 unless I'm able to get them all on the same piece of armor. :-P And on top of that, I'm pretty sure a NARC will ALWAYS bounce off the back of a Faf; I'm going to test that soon to see if it's a Faf-specific bug. Let's just say that each time I've met you, I've thrown away 1500 C-Bills of NARCs. :-P You also made me sad twice already because I landed on your Fafs that many times, but a buddy would always come pretty soon to help you out. *Sniff*

LOL Yesterday I was doing really well, and today I was pretty meh except for score. Spooky shot me dead a few times on Mirage. God, Mirage... I had a lot of deaths. :-P I'll be sure to make every effort to kill all of you next time I see you!

Nemo: I'd be fine with an anti-BA weapon that's better than the Bear AC, as long as it's dedicated BA only. If any random pilot can just carry one, that's not good for balance IMO. Really, it's not so much the weapon that kills the BA, it's the skill of the user. If you get an entire beam from an SBL on a BA, I'm pretty sure that just barely kills it in one shot. So it's just a matter of actually hitting a BA well enough. So unless you want a Death Blossom... :-P If you get out of a mech to fight a BA, expect to be at a disadvantage, because you should be. And then there's the AC2, which can be really good at killing a BA if you get close enough. It's also ridiculously powerful if you get on top of an enemy mech. It doesn't need a buff. And of course I won't agree about the laser ranges. :-P

[Nemo]

Id agree about the bear being a dedicated weapon. The thing with the ac2 is that its just that, insane if you land on a mech but nearly pointless at the range its capable of. Make it worse close in with the lower rof in exchange for a tighter choke so it can actually do damage at ranges exceeding the ppc, less damage mind you but still. And no, I don't expect to see many people agree about the laser ranges. But you must admit theres a certain discrepancy between a BA in tsa and a BA in tc. I want ba to work better both in close and farther out at some cost to their mid range prowess. My mind pairs the tag laser and an ac2, ppc and whatever, heavy laser and either flamer or ac2 or something, and a bear to make it all go away.



And not a death blossom per se... we'll call them B-pods... >.>

[Knightcrawler]

If you're gonna pair tag with anything, it's TeamSpeak. LOL

[blackskies]

So unless you want a Death Blossom... :-P

Ha I'd like to see how they'd implement that - hypothetically of course.
