Agreed, Arc. I'm quite curious to see a post-Update 50 world. But, my opinion on Disguise was asked, and I just can't resist a good rant

You can take my point all out of context all you want, it doesn't make it invalid. I'm talking about shooting someone stealthed via a Disguise when I say "Unbreakable". And I'm also saying that Stealth in plain view isn't really Stealth at...

Unbreakable form of stealth? Since when? I can guarantee that disguise is not an "unbreakable form of stealth". I shoot you. Disguise doesn't break, unlike all other forms of stealth. How is this not clear, exactly? It's not really stealth...

I'm of the opinion that Disguise was never designed with PvP in mind; only PvE. Running through mission areas undetected and whatnot. Because, really: an unbreakable form of stealth? Guh?! Kinda defeats the purpose of "stealth" when a Spy...

SHOUTING HURTS MY EARDRUMS!!!

Inactivity is a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? Staying in a corner is a death sentence in normal combat situations (at least, for me). Using the corner, however, is perfectly legitimate option. It's the same as using a fence/buil...

Considering spies have an unbreakable stealth in the form of Disguises, it's a problem. There is no way, at present, to avoid a stealth attack with normal world movements (ie: "dodging" an oncoming spy) once your shield is down. Why? Becau...

While standing with your back in a corner, you can still get punted. That's a problem.

no but is there another move ingame which can do 800 damage to somebody with 200 resistance with an ability close to it that upgrades it's accuracy and damage output longer than the original sniper shot Sure: Punt does, and then some, with...

It's been happening for a long, long time. But lately, it's gotten a lot worse. Sometimes, it is rubberbanding. An odd "shift" in position knocks you out of conceal, I've seen it happen a few times. But, often it isn't. Load up Escape and...

NightTrace is indeed correct. If you do not have Spy Style loaded, you get the error message of "You do not have this ability loaded.", yet you are still able to Sneak. If you do have it loaded, you're automatically shifted to Spy style. S...

Huh. Could explain why Block Tactics + Hyper Defense doesn't do squat.

My whole point with the argument of calling for MA and gunmen nerfs was that it gives the devs more work to do. the way you put it is say we rated the 3 classes, MKT,MA and guns on 1-10 scale. what i interpreted from you is you say MKT str...

sooo your logic is really flawed then. if you feel MKT is overpowered and still call for a nerf of MA and guns as well?? How is my logic flawed? I gave MKT more focus because, as it stands, it's the tree needing the most changes. That cert...

And Sneak I think that is a good ability combonation imo you have. The sniper-patcher.. only question i have is... Does it work as well as it does in missions instead of PvP. Or is that just a PvP setup? It's a PvP setup; near-max Ballisti...

Actually, it's 4 seconds on the family timer. But the point is the same. Now, if they juggle abilities properly in interlock, they do get applied pretty darn quickly.

It's not fine. Some of the timers are as borked as MKT: Slow, and Root. Wayyyy too long CR1 style, and overlapping use/effect timers. Plus, stackable DoT's. Only difference is, more people like to exploit MKT's borked use timers than Hacke...

Ohh this bug's been around for as long as I can remember. To get around it, we manually type /pvp in the constructs. So, if the bunny hopper takes a shot at any of us, they're perma-flagged as well, and can be hit as normal. It still makes...

Oh that makes sense. I shouldn't be able to /insult or /taunt a specific person at all. I shouldn't be able to /disagree with a certain enemy. Yeah. All for the sake of PVP, even though this game is supposed to be about RP. What a wonderfu...

Easy solution, make the reuse timer a little more substantial. Way, way too many problems with timers in CR2. They really need to be addressed.

/suicide. Recon to a hardline. (Assuming you're on a non-hostile server)

I'm not saying they're all extensively used. Some are, certainly, but that's not the point. The point is that many abilities in the Spy tree (apologies, I keep interchanging "Spy" and "MKT" were clearly overlooked, and remain unbalanced to...

Instead of "nerfing" the spy tree (IMO IS costs compared to dmg is ok, reuse timers are fine - each ranged class can perma-root you), the devs should work on general issues like: Certainly not with one ability we can't, and certainly not f...

Yep, I'm still around. I wasn't at the block party though, since Tuition takes presidence over plane trips. But, I try to hop ingame a couple times a week for some good ol combat. I do love my sniper/patcher build.

After experimenting with the spy tree, I've come up with several changes that are absolutely neccessary due to conflicting game mechanics, and comparable abilities. Three abilities need a reasonable change, and are listed below along with...
