  1. Man its like there wasnt this 30 page thread on this already.
  2. What other mmos did you play on a pvp server where this DIDNT happen?
  3. You didnt want a pvp server then.

    Bag 80+ BM

    Because its random it would actually ever have to land on a Comm bag ever. It should increase the % chance by 1% up to 100% for each bag opened such that if you open 74 bags without a comm you get one at bag 75 (as you would be 100% chance to get a comm). Thus the worst case scenario would be 75 bags. On the other hand you would have people gearing up faster and im not sure they want that.

    I wouldn't believe for a second that 25% is game wide. If you have that dev post please link. There is a great post above that shows the random but it still comes back to the definition i posted. The Devs made the choice to make it a low chance drop in the bags as a bonus. The real items from the bag are the currency. However, players dont see it that way. They see the item as the main focus of the bag and the currency as means to an end. If we just had the currency there would be no complaints (other than it maybe takes to long).
  7. Considering they would have to build (or copy) all the code from War/DAoC i wouldnt hold my breath for it being in a patch this year
  8. I dont understand what this post even means.
  9. The CCs are not the problem as much as the anti CC mechanic which doesnt work. Even in DAoC, a game they have full access to which has longer and more CC has a better CC protection.
  10. And thus we need a third faction that will come in and farm both of you.

    Stop that!

    Dice Humped: Consistently getting a poor result from a random number generator. Originally was used when playing tabletop games, but was expanded to be used as a warning thought experiment for any truly random number in a system. "What happens if the player gets dice humped?" It's a test if the designer actually wants things random or just distributed. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/6504/a_game_studio_culture_dictionary.php Its a fun list to have. Should see how many we can use for this game!

    Play it like you have Tyranids from 40k. 80 dice in a bucket, tip bucket over.
  14. Point one speaks for itself Point 2 is a much bigger task than it looks. I would guess that's not going to happen anytime soon.
  15. I didn't do anything of those things to that post. I just A) took the primary part of his argument and highlighted it because people should understand the drawbacks of the sniper B) Re worded something that didn't look right such that it would be easier to read for people I made no criticism of his grammar, mostly because i would be the last person to do that. However, feel free to continue your tirade against me and my ability to have a discussion with other people on forums.
  16. Whatever, i made it more easily readable and positioned the word order better for the key part of his argument. Touchy are we?
  17. Fixed wording and order to help people better understand.
  18. As everyone keeps telling me on my Operative: "This game isnt balanced for 1v1". Such that i would not do things that put me in harms way of a class that WOULD have the advantage over me unless, like you point you, you have the upper hand. Retreat isnt sexy but it can be useful. Also i said nothing about asking anyone to kill the sniper for you, though that works too, i said bring a friend. Friends can be healers other snipers with distract (hey you can charge him then). As a team game there is nothing wrong with BAF.
  19. Snipe would be more interesting if it built instead of had a cast time. Such that it would do more damage after certain time thresholds and cost less.
  20. With the pools the way they are i would pass on diving them further until it can be accomplished without hurting the queue times. Like you said Cross server bgs.
