Powerglove legging machine

[DFDelta]

Getting the kill is just a test of luck with the Harasser D.

If the player does the last hit that finishes the target he gets the kill, if the overheat damage does the last "hit" that kills its a suicide.
I guess that overheat damage is applied as a myriad of 1 damage hits, but the Harasser also has 6 guns, each hitting once every 0.2 seconds for about 1 point of damage (seriously, how are 0.7 points of damage even handled?), so it does indeed have a good chance to score that last shot.

I guess most people are awarded no kills because they can't keep their flamers on the torso sections where it really counts for the kill, or they run out of juice in the wrong moment and do not even have a chance to compete with the overheating for the kill.

Ah yes, that makes sense.

I confess.


I sometimes play SA and thoroughly enjoy legging the hell out of everyone, to the point where the entire battlefield is littered with ejected mechs. One I kill the BA, I clean up the downed mechs and rise to #1.

I feel so guilty, but it feels so good!

yeah, its just so great..
I was in that game, which was a good game before you showed up. From that point on , the only person that had fun was you. I guess thats the kind of fun that psychotic boys have torturing animals.. FUn right>??
no, you cant just go around and destroy everyone.. you know.. with the damn powerglove, you have to just leg, and leg and leg..
EVERYONE in the server was like wtf? is wrong with you because YOU took all the fun out of it for everyone.
Not only would you leg, but then you would leave the mechs. I dont know if you can eject in solaris once you power down, but not while active on that server. So only option is to suicide.
Yeah, maybe SOmetimes you can still fire at a target while down, I saw someone doing it, someone else you legged, but most of the time you cant bring shit to bear on anything.
MIND YOU< most of the assets in that game were lights and mediums, so that just makes you going for legs with a powerglove even more amusing..
You have serious issues dude. Legging everyone in a powerglove, and then boasting about how your number one in game, and then come on forums for more of the same?
CHaracter: FAIL

It will be my pleasure to leg you on sight from now on, and barring that, narc, narc, narc, narc from the air..
Hope you enjoy it.

Amen, oh brother in spirit.

Lets see... Last time I played SA (the other day) there were at least 3 leggers with silly "legging" names.
They were dull, predictable, and not much threat. I was successfully legged once in a Fafnir, however when I fell over I ended up raping them as they drove off.
I had enough money to buy another Fafnir, but I decided to take something else because I hate repetition.

The game was a race between me and Old (Wheatley)?, who did very well and was no legging either.

Sa leggers don't make me rage, but they make me a little sad because its that many less really competitors in the round.

In fact, once I have tried to be legging-only jerk for the whole round (TSA, not SA). It didn't work better, then just going for CTs. Even worse in some cases (rly, who would ever leg Uziel?).

Why leg with Fafni E, if you can just core things in 1-3 salvos?

Also, if you are legged, you can still shoot back in a great number of cases. Legging JJ-equipped mechs is the worst thing you can do.

Legging and not killing in SA or score based TSA will not be effective, because you receive less points that way. However, legging and killing should give you more points, because you were doing more damage on the enemy mech, before it got destroyed.

...except that in SA if you take your time killing somebody then you're just asking to get blindsided by a third party coming up and taking you out (and stealing your kill in the process). Legging in SA is only really useful if you're in a situation where you have a lot of people in lights swarming around a frontrunner in a big cumbersome assault, and even then you're generally better just saturating the torso and arms with fire.

Also, if you are legged, you can still shoot back in a great number of cases. Legging JJ-equipped mechs is the most hilarious thing you can do.

I've seen a legged Summoner do a triple backflip on Helsgate.

That's generally something that can happen in SA. It's not a unique incident to happen when you leg someone.

Been testing the LBX20 Fafnir in Inferno and TC_Mirage. It was raping in Inferno so much that there was hardly anything they could do, and effective in Mirage as a base assaulter too. Haven't bother with legs as the RoF of that thing is low, with the amount of damage it does, it is silly to leg someone with it. The Fafnir A is a better legging machine, picking off those pesky Owens trying to sneak past to cap. That mech is mostly legs anyway, shouldn't be a problem hitting it.

[Deathbane]

Legging owens with this thing is a guilty pleasure, especially if its a C. Most of the time though, with the amount of sheer punch this thing packs, its a waste of time as two shots to the torso or one to the back will pretty much seal the deal.

I actually hate using the LtGauss Faffy on Huntress early in the game because one miss and your enemy (or at least the bitchy ones) will be screaming LEGGER to the admins

hell, one time I think I almost double legged an SJ member's' Scat while trying to hit his big arm from across the map >_> (both of his legs got hit by one alpha so both were dark orange)

lol, yeah, I felt the same sometimes... missed a shot, hit the legs and then I thought "oh boy..".

Legging takes more time than killing through the torso. More time sitting around killing someone is more time to get ambushed.

SA is not about killing.

[Cewelowic]

I personally don't leg.

HOWEVER, I do see the merit in it. Most people think "Psh, eat the torso, you get points and its faster."

Well, if you engage and destroy the mech's legs, then the pilot is sitting there unable to aid the fight. Most importantly, she has a longer time to get back in the fight than if I outright gibed him. She either has to get out and poke someone as battle armor till they kill him, or walk back to base, or suicide. All are quite nice, seeing how you took a fight of maybe 6v6 on a flank, to 6v5 for much longer, or he suicides and doesn't progress in rank and must fight with weaker assets. People fail to see this.

And about the hiding the leg thing, when I did leg, I forgo the hip for the large sized feet and cankles. I know exactly where they are going to be, why wouldn't I shoot them? You can't hide them, unless we are talking about a snipe fest. Any terrain used in a brawl is a liability, since the ability to circumvent the terrain is very ready, and often only gains seconds of protection. Seconds against a burst weapon are mostly meaningless, especially if it will only take a single shot.
