Not to brag, but does going 32-7 with a Toxin AR and Toxin SMG count as "skilled gameplay"?
I would like to think so.

I estimate that over 90% of my deaths are from:
- run over by LAV
- forge sniped
- random nades

Unless there is a blob or my own stupidity involved, I hardly ever die to a light weapon.

How about just use militia gear instead of proto stomping?

I did run with a cheap enhanced fit for about a week, didn't notice much difference.

Going down to militia will make it hard if not impossible for me to provide the uplinks, scanner, and medkit. I specced into all this support stuff and it'd be a shame to not fill up my suit with all the equipent.

notice how he didn't mention mass driver.......

I did that on purpose, we've had enough threads about them lately.

im just saying its not as easy as everyone thinks, if it was everyone would be using them,
I put a lot of time, effort and skill into my mass driver, that's why its so good, a basic un skilled driver is ****,
I started putting skill in back before the, flaylock op, the tac op and the hmg op, I used to die a lot until I got used to it,
and now because I put the effort in, and its the fotm, I should be penalised,
not to take from your thread dude. I know its not about md, just wanted to get my point across
I keep getting blown up by rom explosives, are they op, no, they take skill to use properly/
this is war

The accumulated effect of many high qualiy players leaving and an enormeus gap in gear and skill leads to a near total loss of decent PVP action. I have been paying attention to whats been killing me lately, and the number of "cheap deaths" experienced in pub games has reached an all time high.

Unless there is a blob or my own stupidity involved, I hardly ever die to a light weapon. It makes the game seem somewhat "cheap". It is frustrating to be on a roll, killing left and right, barely making it to cover in time just to get blown up by some A-hole standing on top of some tower. I can remember Tosh from SI taking me out due to superior aim a couple of days ago. I as per usual sent a GG message. The feeling I got there is something I miss, that sense of respect and awe (in lack of a better term) you feel when somebody is out-smarting you or simply takes you down due to superior skill.

In short, death by skilled gameplay is almost gone. I am very much looking foreward to the next patch which I hope will with the strafe speed and collision dammage tweaks and not least the new match making system, put the game back on its track in terms of making it more competitve and I hope more of my future deaths come from player skill, not from some broken mechanic as is mostly the case now.


And when I usually get into a good 1v1 situation with who I thought were decent players (recognized players on top of the leaderboards and good corp members) usually the first thing they do is throw a grenade...we couldn't just have a good gunfight?

You are bad and should feel bad. I and many with me have spent SP into AR by the millions. I spent the mere minimum, just enough to unlock the EXO-5 and started to dominate most games with it. If you can't see that the MD needs a tweak there really isn't much I can do for you.

Unfortunatley this just shows problems with the AR, the majority of the time you spent hip firing, however I might need to get my hands on some if those grenades!!

im not complaining but how can you make a thread about getting killed by anything other than a light weapon when you love chucking nades at people, or was that the point?

No it wasn't.

I get lots and lots of kills with the AR. I just almost never dies to it myself, in pub games that is.

but you do like chucking nades at people aye?

I use ADS most of the time.... And what problem do you refer too?

Once you go down the path of the dark side with a nade in hand, forever will it dominate your destiny....
