#36300432252 03/27/2008 09:41:18 Mkt & Snipers

After playin last night and today I have saw that 'most' zion are either mkt or sniper. Yes I know sniper can be good ain't tried mkt yet but yeah I'm sure thats good aswell. Its just kinda *CENSORED* jumpin to mara and seein no-one and then u get sneak zerged.

I play this game for fun and I'm sure the rest of the population does aswell but seeing a whole team of mkts (like this afternoon) against 3 of us just ain't fun... 

All i'm wantin to say is "Come on Zion, play some REAL trees!!!"

Fair enough using these trees against zergs but when there is only 1 guy out a team can be seen, its just takin the pi$$ SMILEY

pst...The element of surprise SMILEY<img src= *runs away in sneak*

>.< the reason im MKT SMILEY<img src=

I hope your prepared for the flames that will come from even thinking a sentance like "Play a real tree" :p

#36300432268 03/27/2008 10:12:28 Re:Mkt & Snipers
Lol people will flame, but he's still right.

Zion 'usually' has the numbers (note the usually, as to avoid flames). And MKT, and Sniper, aren't necessary in pvp on the side with the numbers.

But the sad fact is, that mkt and sniper, are some of the best trees to load in pvp, because they do damage fast, and can stop the target from escaping. Which puts the target at a disadvantage.

I think bruce is in the same boat with me, in wishing that when you're on your own in pvp against the numbers, it'd be nice if the numbers weren't rocking the easiest pvp trees aswell as having the numbers....

But life aint fair, and neither is Vector. That's why I love it xD
#36300432271 03/27/2008 10:14:18 Re:Mkt & Snipers

Yeah but most people do this 'element of surprise' when your in interlock.

When u have 3 - 4 people doin this its just really sucky. When mervs have a team goin we're lucky to have 1 mkt and 1 sniper lol

All this post is about is, make the team have a bit more variation. I am active alot as most of yous know SMILEY and its all to many times I'v saw many people logging out due to this. We are the PVP SERVER, why don't we act like it and get decent fights goin.

I see where bruce is coming from. But unfortunately its part of the game. I rather it be that. Then to have to be zerged and reds using buffs and heals. specially when being out numbered.

Pissing people off doesn't mean you're good at the tree. It shows something about your personality. I for one, *CENSORED* off a lot of people, because im a knob.

And as for this...people rate Excuscito as a good sniper. And i disagree there too. Though it's hard to justify what a good sniper is.

Dag was good...but he made me roast, and i dont like FA.
And Baldy and leon are awesome snipers, also yasa.

I think my mistake was replying to folks I've killed rantings with 'Hush now child'.  Read like some cold *poop*, and the responses I got were MUCH colder!

#36300432866 03/28/2008 05:36:48 Re:Mkt & Snipers

I ain't sayin anythin about zergs, everyone zergs we all know that. Its when we're about even teams and one team is full of sneaks, it just takes the fun outta the game. With me bein MA, i like to have even teams, don't matter if i die, its all about the fun. Yeah i have to admit heals and buffs can take the fun outta the game aswell.

And people sayin about good snipers, well to me a gd sniper is 1 that goes for any random person rather than go for some1 in interlock, how can u be a good sniper goin for say an MA fightin and MKT, hax or another MA. Lowered def FTL SMILEY

I'v also said to the mkts but their explanation is mervs do it, I only know of about 3 - 6 mervs that are mkt. I know there are roughly the same amount of snipers, Japes FTW SMILEY

When I'm pvpn with mervs, our team normally consist of about 3 MA's, couple of guns and hax, occasionaly we'll have mkt but as far as i can see mkt ain't that big in mervs.

But at the end of the day, my post was just to put out there that when a team goes for alot of mkts, people log SMILEY

#36300432890 03/28/2008 06:44:40 Re:Mkt & Snipers
I'm agree with you Bruce, teams of 6 sneakers sux. Anyway, I think this unbalance teams can be pwned easily if you have a balanced team with all trees loaded, allways talking about equal numbers of course.
#36300432892 03/28/2008 06:49:12 Re:Mkt & Snipers
Lol equal numbers, which can never be achieved for the machines unless it's event times and we get all the syntaxians on too.... *shudders*.

That, or like you say, we stick with the mervs. But that's been the case since CR1, Machs and mervs against the zerg.
#36300432987 03/28/2008 09:56:47 Re:Mkt & Snipers
Bruce the case wouldn´t be reduce the number of Snipers and MKT I think would be strengthen the MA trees(look at this devs), because with this last patch we are almost done, specially the chunfu´s and karate´s.

Dont bother duck some people need to move on, at least we dont need to beg peace to another orgs, rain of stones in 3..2..1...
#36300433061 03/28/2008 11:45:55 Re:Mkt & Snipers

In the end people are just going to play the game regardless of what other people think, some people like to play a realistic game like it was in the films, others just want to kill and be the best person in the game, others just want to "socialize". The ones that use MKT and sniper are (usually not always) the second type of people generally because it has the most advantages compared to the disadvantages. As most people say it's an easy kill being able to sneak up behind someone and punt or staggering throw when the opponent is IL but there is nothing wrong with that, if they find enjoyment from that then stopping them from doing that means you're just doing the same to them what they've been doing to you.

In the end I guess what I'm going to say is just learn ways to defend against it. Either that or take the high ground, walk away for about 30 minutes go off and duel a friend and come back and most people will have left to go in search of you, items or they logged because they got bored.

Then you and your team can finish up whats left.

Meh I actually changed from MKT from people sending me that many hate tells... Calling me this an that because theres 10 of them an 1 of me an i sneak up an kill them in like 3 hits. An whats funny is that after i changed to ma from mkt all i saw was zion mkt's .... An the same ones bitching about me killing them as mkt crying around me killing them as ma. So there's actually no way of making people happy in this game. To many people are the "one". To bad im the one... Noobs!

I was one of the mkt's on that team, and I have to say I was surprised that all the zion's that were there had either mkt or sniper loaded.  It's the first time I've seen that happen.  I had mine loaded because I had finally coded the last ab I needed to complete the tree, and just wanted to try it out.  Got my first kill as an mkt that day.  It was total chance that all of us were sneakers and such, we didn't plan it.  I think three of us were there at the start of it, then a few others came online and came straight to mara.  The stars aligned I guess.  I'm MA any other day though, and I share your frustration with mkt's and snipers, but it is part of the game.  Now that I finally know how to fight an aikido grandmaster, I'd like to one day have a 1v1 with you without getting sniped or stabbed in the back toward the end of the fight. 
#36300434028 03/31/2008 01:40:50 Re:Mkt & Snipers

Ah thats an exception then SMILEY but there are to many mkts/snipers in zions compared to MA's just cause they are 'easier' trees. One thing that does annoy me is when u have 3 players about you and your tryin as hard as you can to get 1 in interlock and they just hyperjump away as soon as their evade is broke SMILEY Does get a bit tiresome, specially when u can't chase cause of the lag. Lowbies can outrun me thats how bad my lag is SMILEY

But Legend, all you gotta do is ask for a 1 on 1. I'll duel anyone and have no hard feelings over it. I can't help it if a merv sees a couple of zions attackin me so he joins in. It is difficult to duel at mara, we all know this but hit me up next time I'm ingame and we'll duel SMILEY

Alot of people hj away when their shield is broke, not just mkt/snipers.  It's everybody with ranged attacks, including healers and hackers.  If I had it my way, there would be no healers or hackers at all, and nobody would be able to sneak.  In fact, I think only MA and guns should be all the fighting trees available to play with, since that is what the movies offered.  I never heard Neo say "hey guys, let's sneak and then punt these suckers". 

Next time I see you online I'll hit you up for a duel.  You'll probably still beat me, but I'm pretty sure I won't get owned so bad anymore SMILEY

w00t someone else sees the way how the game should be SMILEY Hey man i ain't that good, can still get pwned by people but at the end of the day we all shouldn't play to pwn, we should play for fun.

Just like last night there was 3 mervs and about 6 zions, the zions whipped out the heals SMILEY but i had to log soon afta that anyhoos. I don't mind dyin in pvp and i don't mind survivin, it is all about how good and frantic the pvp is (just my comp takes ages to let me recon and come outta hl lol). Just think the way how it'll be if theres more mech, even sides, no heals/buffs. Now that is pvp...

#36300434100 03/31/2008 09:06:09 Mkt & Snipers
I use sniper when Im outnumbered, when both sides have equal numbers I use guns. I also used to be spy, because there is no fun fighting 6 Zionits or Mervs when you are alone!

I think its a part of the game and we have to live with that, but mkt could be nerved... its overpowered (my own view).

Btw, alot of mervs are sniper or mkt too SMILEY

cu ingame

#36300434103 03/31/2008 09:11:31 Re:Mkt & Snipers

Naw i wouldn't say that mkts are overpowered, just all their abs hit with decent dmg when u'r in il with someone else. I can take one, 1 on 1 but can also be taken down easily in a 1 on 1.

Right people keep sayin that mervs are mkt aswell, i know of about 4 - 8 maybe as much as 10, out of about 70 mervs. Now try seein how many zions are mkt out of their total number. Fair enough i know there are snipers but most of them don't hide in sneak all day or run like hell when they get seen. I'v saw all to many snipers gettin me down to really low health but jump just cause another merv saw them. I ain't sure about merv snipers as I'm not the one gettin shot at SMILEY
