I love the "everyone rush the tower but healers touch the outside walls and heal through the walls tactic"; we've been using it since i caught you guys doing it.
Your team has an amazing understanding of the game's mechanics and take advantage of anything possible. Which is fair in war.
It's not naming and shaming when the guy is just being quoted as admitting to exploiting is it?

I don't think anyone who's played this game for any decent amount of time would consider that an exploit. Well, excluding you. You claim to have "respect" for us, yet you're constantly suggesting or subtly accusing us of "exploiting" or "something fishy." Honestly, sounds like an L2P issue to me.

its only really good against many people blobbed up since you have to cast it outside of the fight and can't spam it.
First it was bats, then it was oil, then impulse, then wall of elements, ad infinitum. The Q_Q train never stops. You would prefer a recap full of Steel Tornado? That's what I get whenever we fight any other organized group, yet you don't hear me complaining. The fact is that people who min/max will always use the ability that offers the most bang for the buck. If you don't like it maybe PvP, or MMORPGs in general, aren't the place for you. If there were multiple skills that did the exact same damage, or offered other benefits that outweighed the dps loss, they would be used. Unfortunately, there are not many options.Rook_Master wrote: »So everyone is excited about the new meta?

Will always be a meta, I think this one aggravates some more than others in the past because Detonation was supposed to be a "zerg" buster but now the "zergs" use it to wipe out everyone else.
Of course large trains can use it too, but its a viable tactic for smaller groups to zergbust those big groups so that part is working well.

If I recall correctly we spent a lot of time moving around over the course of those fights waiting for the right moment to attack. My guess is that someone has them recorded. It would definitely showcase the amount of organization and strategy involved in "zerging." I also seem to remember doing a dolmen to lure out a stealth bomb.Earendal - AD Templar

Yeah there was a lot of positioning going on that night from everyone.
I know we got a few sneaky crashes off only to re-position and leverage a new facing.

You really think we're "dodging" you? Get real. How about you put your money where your mouth is and find ten. Or have you already managed to alienate every single person who would play with you in this game?

reften✭✭✭✭✭I have no complaint against a team that use the most effective attack together.
I real problem with pvp is TS users vs. non-TS users. Again, I don't blame anyone for using TS, I'm in a guild and we use it all the time, just saying that it puts non-TS players at a huge disadvantage.

Agreed. Though you can just quickly reposition yourself and animation cancel it and get right back in the fight within a few seconds.
It's more along the lines of the low TTK, and the huge burst that proxy has because you can cast while it's on you. I think maybe a mechanic to balance it would be that you can't use any abilities while the bomb is on you. We will see how the new proposed changes affect things.Jadokis - AD Redguard DK v16 AR 18

Or do something like I've said where you are unable to cast during the duration of it or make some other change to it. Make it so that it will be used as designed, to break up zergs. Not so that zergs can use it to stomp everyone and everything.Jadokis - AD Redguard DK v16 AR 18

No, that wasn't game mechanics that was an unintended bug that allowed players to exploit it. Some spells going through walls is intended.
I swear this game people have the most dysfunctional definition of exploits I have ever seen.... and then everyone starts claiming everyone is exploiting except them because they are using the design of the game.... baffles my *** mind.Edited by Mako1132 on July 8, 2015 3:54PM2 -
