Just my way of telling you that with your pathetic stats, you are one of the last person I would talk to about Clan vs. IS balance.

Oh well.

It would take a miracle (relative to PGI, since it shouldn't actually be hard) to separate the LRM and Streak lock codes.

I know, I am still waiting for decent MGs and LBXs.

And now you are flat out lying about me. Ask Xavier and Kwea. See if they agree with you about my personality.

See, you are exactly the type of troll who would drag others to your stupidity level in an argument, in hopes of coming up on top. I am not having any of such idiocy. "GG kid"? What are you, 12?

Yeah Dario, i appreciate that there's a lot of easy stuff to fix. I'm with you on that, but this forum topic is specific, so wanted to keep OT even though its not my thread.

Given Bandito's standpoint though, you should just accept your place in life and go back to sifting mud through your teeth.

The topic is specifically about streaks. OP wanted to know why streaks couldn't do something, his question was answered, and I said if anyone wants that changed then first we need to make other changes. Other changes that were specifically about streaks.

No, I am not. You´re making a fool of yourself, as always. ´tis okay though, wether it be on voip or in here. One gets it when one reads the forums for some time. And fyi, I am 36

Ok team:

so back to streak srms (with specific context regarding attacking - or not being able to attack - the critical objective underpinning the purpose of a game-mode) and the related and made-corporeal example of how PGI cuts corners and takes the easy way out when faced with popular opposition / engineering/creative problems.

GO!

edit: probably didn't need that last bit.

It's a base. It should have defenses. However, coding a stupid "can't lock me 'cuz it's cheesy" rule is simply lazy and dumb.

Double the number of turrets. Give the turrets: 1 ERML, 1 LRM5, and 1 AMS. To be honest, it should be near suicide for a single mech to enter a base alone. As it stands, it's a joke.

If they would allow LRMs and SSRMs to target the objectives they would have to completely redesign not only the game mode, but every map as well. Not going to happen.

NO NO THEY WOULDN'T!

I've posted multiple times in multiple locations the simple fix for the base LRMing "problem" and it is already in the goddamn game! Its called AMS! Just scatter a bunch all over the bases and JOBS DONE!

Given the magical ability of AMS to kill missiles through walls, it's not going to look pretty.

[zeves]

has anyone sugested anti missile towers? maby the futuristic warriors could learn from the past?

[qS Sachiel]

in all this anti cheese, i wonder if PGI allows for arty to damage MFB's... or is that OK because you must spend Cbills per consumable ;P

I usually dont give a rats *** about “muh precious stats“ but since you brought that up: looks like I am ahead of you on that leaderboard. Not by much but still ahead. Guess that means your opinion can be excluded in any further balance discussion aswell

Show me your stats then. All I know is that your stats are mediocre in every season. Which means any time you do well, you are merely getting carried by your team. And that means you still suck too much to talk to.

Heck, I thought you were finally gonna say something that's rational, but seems I overestimated your intelligence.

Yet I am still ahead. And yet you keep talking to me
Also, I thought you checked so you should know. I am not providing anything since it is not relevant for this discussion imo and I also wasnt the one who brought that up.
You can check yourself if you want to.

this kind of bit me in the nuts durring the event. i was running a streak boat in case i ran into a cell toting light. but that didnt happen so i made a run on the gens just to realize i couldn't fire because streaks.

the no lock thing was mostly to nerf the lerm spam, and given pgi's shotgun approach to nerfs, the streaks also got nerfed. which really doesn't make any sense. streaks cant win the game from half a map away. but its pgi so im not surprised.

Forum battle!

Im still trying to figure out how do people pilot streak boats and not get frustrated by the countless no lock situations you run into with these things.

Because 1 game in 20 they do 500+ damage and eat 3 lights and a light medium. Of course most of that damage is to undamaged components and only some of it is useful.

Where were you when all those complaint posts popped up in the forums regarding how easily people cheesed base gens using LRMs in the Incursion PTS? PGI took notice of those and made changes accordingly after PTS closed.

Such tactic was certainly not fun or interactive, cause base gens can't move away behind cover, unlike mechs.

Wouldn't an alternative method be to change the terrain around the base objectives to provide cover to LRMs fired outside of the base? So, you would have to be inside the base in order for the path of LRMs to not be obstructed by cover?

[Old-dirty B]

No change needed to the lock mechanism. If you plan to bring down the base, bring the tools that can do the job. No "real" weapons equipped? Then destroy the enemy team... In that same regard, when i choose to boat small pulses on a locust i know up front that i wont be able to destroy the base because the turrets will get me... Thats the down side to boating, ammo for ballistics, heat for energy, no locks for guided missiles etc etc.
