Oh? A would-be philosopher, eh? Well, Lord E N E R G Y, I would just like to inform you that your rebuttal was not a rebuttal. Actually, it was what is known as "red herring." You really weren't addressing the issue, you were questioning reality, which doesn't lead to any form of discourse, it leads to circular logic.
Please try to give a legitimate answer.
"Not a fact" based on what evidence? Again, you have not given a rebuttal, you have just given presumptuous hot-air.
We're not talking about who is more/less dangerous, we're talking about who's job is harder.
If the sniper has a Gauss as a rest weapon, and can do anywhere from 30 - 60 points of damage, that doesn't matter. Plus, your assuming all brawlers can close the distance at over 60 - 70kph, while taking the best possible flanking route to the sniper. If the sniper can't reposition to compensate for this, that isn't an explanation, it's a cop-out. Unless the sniper is alone, and front lines have completely degenerated, a sniper always has an oppurtunity to reposition behind the safety of cover or his friends. And don't try to tell me otherwise. I've been in the military and I have buddies who practice vehicular combat who tell me of similar tactics.
The truth hurts, pseudo-lord E N E R G Y. You're over-complicating a snipers job with non-specific terms. What you are referring to is the basics of piloting, which, presumably the average player at least has some idea of (note: I didn't say new or bad players). And yes, a light's job is arguably harder because it does involve those elements that you just mentioned.
Bullsh*t.
We know you have an ego the size of the moon, and we know you think of yourself as God's gift to the Mechwarrior community. Stay on topic, please, and don't water your point down with petty insults. It doesn't discredit me, it discredits you.
PLEASE stop with the red herrings. We're dealing with the issues in game. Right now. And P.G.I. has readily admitted the issues mentioned in this thread need to be fixed. IF you have no suggestions to add, then say the game is fine where it is and be done with it and continue to impart your "gaming expertise" elsewhere.
Those aren't "imaginary labels" those are called "industry categories" or "industry standards." Stop talking out of your a*s in an asinine attempt to discredit me, and everyone else who recognizes PP damage and convergence as a problem. This isn't a L2P issue, this is a gameplay issue. Stop thinking like a psuedo-intellectual and start thinking in terms of development practicality. If the franchise is advertised as a "31st Century, vehicular combat simulator" then the devs should make their game as such. You can't advertise your game as a boardgame, when it's actually an FPS. That's simply bad business and bad game design.
And WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT BY RIPPING OFF CONCEPTS FROM OTHER GAMES! You have to recognize that this game is apart of another genre and the ONLY similarities of the competitive scenes between all three of those games and this one is the fact that phenomal DOUCHEBAGS like you exist and add /nothing/ to the concept of gameplay balance!
Again, we don't need to rip-off other games to create a successful competitive scene. Moreover, we don't need to turn this game into CS:GO to do so. And insulting the community of GO? No. If I'm insulting anyone, it's only people like you who have heads ten times bigger then their normal size.
Correction: Sniping is a DOMINANT style of play right now because it is the lowest risk and highest reward.
And really? More c*ck-waving to try to discredit me?
Do I REALLY need to tell you that I've play CS for longer then a lot of people have been alive? That I played the BF series and beta-tested ALL OF THEM? Including the collossal, un-optimized failure of a release that was BF4? Do I really need to state that I have had to read the rulebooks for both TT and the RPG? And that I have read a few of the books? Granted, my memory of the rules are rusty, but my memory of those rules are probably better then yours, dude.
The fact that you try to play me off with your own ego is telling, E N E R G Y. Again, if you have nothing to add to this discussion but fallacious arrogance, then just say this game is fine, and leave. I'm sure P.G.I. will be grateful for it.
I don't competitive game anymore because it was turning me into a COLOSSAL douchebag like you. No. In point of fact, I did Q.A. testing for CS:GO, but dropped that project immediately because there were a lot of elements in it that were awful.
It's my career to test games, not compare d*ck sizes with elitists like yourself.
"Reject?" That's not a presumptuous title at all. So who did you talk to, E N E R G Y? Talk to my guidance counselor? Or did you look at a book containing my full life's story?
Drop the f*cking attitude. I'm not making any personal attacks against you, so act like an adult, and do the same.
And download CS:GO? Why would I continue to participate in a colossal waste like that game? I don't need to wave my c*ck around to prove my point, unlike you.
Yes you are. You are the very definition of a white-knight for P.G.I.
Believe it or not, with Mechwarrior, it IS possible to create the rock-paper-scissors gameplay that this game so desperately needs. I keep holding out hope that at least SOME good people in P.G.I. will hear us, which is why I'm still here. The only "meta" that should exist, is good player and team behavior. Not jump-sniping, not high-damage, pinpoint alphas. THAT is the truest definition of "player skill:" The ability to do well with a weapon system, not because the weapon system itself is strong, but because the player behind it knows how to wield it. The "cycle" only continues because people like you continue to accentuate it.
Then if it's "trivial," don't respond. Say the game is fine and move on. Again, I'm sure P.G.I. will thank you for it.
Besides that, if you do leave, then it is for the better.
We don't need a Mechwarrior like you.
I think there are some very basic things about Mechwarrior, gaming in general and English that you need to go back over before you continue commenting on the forums. I say this with your best interests at heart, currently I think you may be embarrassing yourself through ignorance...
