You'all really need to try the MD for a couple games, just for giggles you'know?
that "aiming at a surface" thing is a stone *****.
I'd love to see you AR folks (just the whiny ones) try to hit anything with 1/8 second to 2 second lag with only 6 shots, sure that that doesn't address that your opponent can jump over your damage but I'll spot you folks that one.
Yeah we get that blast radius but in shots that are farther than 30 meters away all a running target needs to do is stop and we miss (walking targets can start running the other way and that works for them too) you see in the future, grenades only hurt things up to 5 meters away but people can run 6 meters per second and our grenades take a bit o' time to get to you.
Please folks, try that stupid weapon before you claim there is no skill involved. It is one thing to be ignorant quietly, but proving is totally unnecessary.
Here's some advise though, when outfitting you can only have nanohives so you don't need to spend ISK on anything else, that makes MD easier for sure.
*as for friendly fire, I am wholly in favor (though it will totally change the mostly positive interactions in corp chat) I really want my corp mates to die painfully when they step infront of my MD (killing me)

I would advise you to learn the differance between advice and advise before commenting on someones intelligence. Other than that you make some fairly decent points except what everyones missing in that the mass driver is super easy mode at 20 to 30 meters and under.
I apologize for not checking what my spell check did It is my responsibility to monitor my posts for perfect grammar and in that I failed . It seems off that you would correct me while having spelling errors in your post but I forgive you.
You are incorrect on "easy mode" You might want to add some criteria: opponent has already taken shield damage, he is against a wall, he is facing the wrong way...actually that is easy mode for everyone...
What is not easy mode is 20-30 meters where your opponent is above you, or shooting you with a GEK or better or you just had an engagement and you need to take 3.5 seconds to reload 6 more shots (which kills only 2 players)
How much damage is in a full mag of AR. How much damage is in an EXO? |

You dont even realize that yours wasnt a spelling error but rather improper word usage, which I feel is a worse grammar **** offense since many words are spelled differant than they sound. And dont even start with me on the shield damage BS. Yall have flux grenades you can use as well as the fact that mass drivers do more damage to shields than people give them credit for.
I'm quite aware that neither advise and advice are improperly spelled, you might note, if you thought long and hard about it, that sometimes people hit the wrong key when they type and spell-check can suggest a word that looks similar to the word they wanted. Alas however, that word sometimes is not the one desired at all....and you still cannot seem to find the time or desire to correct your own misspellings even as you correct mine. Be that as it may, I hope one day to be able to type a missive to you that will meet your strict error tolerances.
I use flux grenades, as a MD user I must, some people can choose what type of grenade they equip, my weapon choice means I do not get that luxury. As I said however I do have 3 flux grenades to port about so that I might drop an opponents shields, using this extra tool though doesn't seem to be "easy mode" like you described. how does using a weapon that requires tossing a grenade before the engagement qualify as "easy mode"?
You see, I have MD Proficiency 1, when I splash the average non-scout suit, it takes 3 hits to drop them that is a bit over 3 seconds, I'd best not miss.
One of you AR type duds (sorry, I misspelled dudes) using a GEK needs to hit me just over 1/4 of the time in those 3 seconds (12.5 rounds a second 32.5 damage per round = 406 damage/second (ignoring the weaponry +25% damage))
In a straight up 1v1 fight, GEK takes my lunch money and stuffs me in a locker.
Your magazine holds 1950 points of damage and you can empty them in to me in less than 5 seconds.
My magazine holds 759 points of damage and I take no less than 6 seconds.
Don't worry I don't feel bad about it, I just have to play differently. I am always climbing ladders/hills, jumping on jeeps and boxes (giving snipers far and wide something interesting to look at) at long range targets i have some other tricks I employ to get shots to land where I want them. (none of those tricks are "Put Cross-hairs On Target, Pull Trigger") You may think MD is "Easy Mode" because you only bump into people who have devoted a lot of time working on this one weapon and have built every aspect of their suit and their behavior around it.
Those people make it look easy.
There is a freak Nova Knife dude running around who killed me twice in a game and forced me to suicide 4 times, he made the Nova look easy.
Things that look easy are not always easy, it is kind of like spelling, not hard if you try, but clueless people sometimes don't appreciate the effort it takes to do a job right. Again, thank you for helping me get better at my grammar and spelling, i appreciate it so very much. |
