I think people like you should spend they're meaningless lives elsewhere. SWG, EQ, I don't care. Just do everybody a favor and just simply...leave. Please, I ask this of you. Leave.

eh what? you think you shouldn't be here and should fuck off just because your not an XP whore? I know not all CR5 BR20's are XP whores or anything like that, but you can be a medic or hacker/infil, not get any XP. You think they don't deserve to be here? Normally what you post i agree with, but here its you thats the troll, lonehunter.

The thing I don't understand is how they can HAVE a bug with spawn tube doors... They don't exactly require a coding miracle.

I'm sure they try a little bit to get that extra cert point though, so they can get adv engi or hacker or whatever. I didn't say that people without XP shouldn't be here, I said that people who simply don't care about the Xp system shouldn't be here. most people at least try to get to a decent BR so they can get the weapons they want, Sandtrout just sounded like he didn't give a shit at all. This argument has run this topic completely off corse, and I suggest we stop. If you feel like it needs to be continued for some reason, keep it off the forums and simply PM me. As for the Span tube doors, they suck and shouldn't have been there in the first place.

I wouldn't say that CR and BR mean nothing, but I wouldn't give them the "omg rank!" thing people sometimes give them. Other than giving you a few more options, it doesn't make you all that harder to kill. I do think kill stats are overrated though. I'm primarily a driver and my stats will NEVER be as high as the guy in my turret, but I do alot of work to keep him alive and keep us going and I set up many of the "perfect" shots he gets by maneuvering accordingly.

I will grant you that I don't have a CR higher than 2 on any char I have, but I have a 16 BR. Frankly, all the slots I actually needed to get a primary and alternate mode of fighting, I got by the time I was BR5...the rest is just a bit of icing. I can easily see the USES for higher CR and BR, but they won't/don't make me a better player. I congratulate those that get the really high scores, but I won't bow, hehe. The part I play is just as important.

i once farted when we were stuck in the spawn tubes.

people began magically deconstructing ....

Sandman · 2003-07-28, 08:58 PM

Kid. but no, i dont really care about exp, just enough to try what i want to. If i cared about exp i would still be trying to get lvl 99 in D2 or trying to get 65 and 120+AA in EQ.

But i doubt you are. I would like to see you try and get past all that. then we will see who is the n00b. Also there arent always adv medics around, unless you are going to make one and follow me around rezzing me STFU.

Yes, as a matter of fact you are. Why the fuck are you getting killed every 30 seconds? And yes i can do that. I have done it many times. Inturn, i've infiltrated the most active spawnrooms around and still managed to hack eq terms right in front of spawning enemies. I've played 3 infil characters since beta. A br15cr3, a br17cr3, and a br18cr3. I know some shit about infiltrating. Also, most of the squads i run have about 6 advmeds and you're hard pressed to take us all. So i'll stfu if you get skills. deal?

You need to stop acting like a "l337" player. I highly doubt you did that as anyone with sense would have checked for infils every minute or so as i do. Atleast half of those people would have DL or audio amp. Let me see you get to a cc and hack it when its being guarded by pounder MAXes with DL. Even if i do "suck" how many FPS have you played, me, PS is my first. Im sure that playing since release i must still be such a n00bie.

She didn't mention trying to take a cc with pounders with DL guarding. She mentioned hacking an eq term in a busy spawn room. It's actually not that hard to do, if it's filled with people spawning it's filled with people with newly reset implants. You can also hack all 3 terms and watch the confusion. Then load yourself up a MAX and clean house. Whee!
You'll also find that in a tower even if people are spawning like mad nobody seems to be checking for the sneaky person. The sneaky person is supposed to be heading for the cc, going downstairs is normally reserved for MAXs and infantry. Avoid people running into you and you'll be fine.
It's also not that hard to make it out of an insanely busy base without dying constantly, unless there's a mossy hovering. Lately it seems like there's always a mossy hovering which makes me wonder about everybody talking about strikers owning the skies.

This si true.

Sandman · 2003-07-28, 11:30 PM

I know how easy it is to sneak down to an eq term in a tower. while most people are spawning and dont have implants up, if i know we are going to lose the tower i wait down there for the infils that like to do that, easiest kills. And with my CE i have a motion sensor at the cc, which can cover the whole tower exposing all the infils.

(it seams mose people are ignoring our argument)

Streamline · 2003-07-29, 12:10 AM

Look, it's just a matter of experience here. Even if you added up all your characters i still don't think you'd have the experiance to say whether something is posible or not. You have Infil/CE one my favs to play. But you got squat for implants. Surge/DL/AA or Surge/AR/AA for top level infils will own anything lesser and be very competitive vs other armors. Even MAXs if you have at least two implants.

You seem to think BR doesn't matter. You say you get bored??? It's cuz you got no BR. BR = certs = versatility. It's no wonder you're bored. If you spoke with any kind of experience it might matter. But it's painfully obvious that you aren't. I am by far considered to be an l33t infil. But i know several that are and they wouldn't wast their time trying to convince you of anything. They like it when everyone around them wallows in mediocrity. You think KidRiot cares??? He's easily the best infil in this thred and all he did was fart.

Not being able to grab equipment right away isn't as annoying as people somehow being invisible after they spawn, and then popping up behind you seconds later without warning.

Any stats based off a total number of something doesn't really matter in my book, because all one must commit is more time to get it higher. If you had kill/death ratios, or percentages calculated based on the amount of time you play, then you'll see where people shine. Having 10,000 kills and 20,000 deaths isn't as respectable as 500 kills and 250 deaths. A body count in no way constitutes skill... and as crazy as it sounds, some of us actually like spending half our time in a Galaxy moving squads or ANTs around, or repairing all the crap people broke at an empty base. You don't see any stats for how many generators I've had to repair, or how many times people sit behind your MAX and repair/heal you and die from splash while you keep the fight going.

To those that would ask why somebody would play this game if they don't care about rank, I have one real reason... to have a good time. While I have respect for those who use the abilities of their rank to do great things, I could care less about a promotion provided I go to bed with a smile on my face.

Sandman · 2003-07-29, 01:08 PM

if you are a "l337" infil then why are you wasting your time trying to convince me to believe something i never will? as you said, all the other "l337" infils woudlnt.

Oh, and on having 3 implants i have access to play these characters whenever i want:

well if you can as a cloaker get past all the fire and grenades and pounder MAXes that are in a zerg force you must be damn good. But i doubt you are. I would like to see you try and get past all that. then we will see who is the n00b.

They key to being a good cloaker is not trying to go through the firefight but going around it. There are more ways than one to get inside a base. A good cloaker will get inside via the one with the least amount of activity. Backdoors are often left un-protected. As well as 2nd floor access. The majority of players are clueless and don't think. Its why enemy AMSs can get jacked with 20 guys standing around with their thumbs up their asses.

And from my experience Motion Sensors are useless vs a good Inf. They'll only reveal an Inf if they set it off which they do via running. A cloaker can sneak right by a Motion Sensor without revealing them.
