People still use mauls  :?:lol:
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

That's actually been on the back of my head for a while, Tzar, weren't you TzarOfCrushYa at some point? I thought so, but one day I looked carefully and it was actually RushYa. Has it always been so, did I imagine the other one?

Balista is something i hate even more than xbow (and that is an achievement for balista), and i refuse to use any of those two. Yet, they add some sort of annoyance, fun and rage. That is totally fine with me. No from me. They should stay and annoy me more so i can kill more of those balista guys and xbow my old friends.

10 months in and it's still as cheesy as ever to get killed by a ballista

As I said, it was funny the first dozen times. Outside of the novelty factor, balistas offer nothing of value to the game and introduce unnecessary waiting.

Ballistas are cancer; they are nothing more than a way for people to get cheap and undeserved kills.  I get sniped by scrubs on ballistas quite regularly since I'm often on top of the siege leaderboards and they don't even try to hide the fact that they are usually aiming for me.  It's a like a bad joke.  Maybe it was funny the first few times but now I'm fast losing any ounce respect I might've once had for people who keep getting back on such a skill-less weapon

Remove plz.

I never really liked them since I can't shield against it, but do people dislike them that much nowadays? Should probably remove/limit them if they just annoy everyone.

Oh god, yes, please remove.  The only ones who will miss it are those who abuse it.

I don't mind ballistas as long as they are not aimed at chokepoints where people can't evade. Granted it's optimized place for ballista but way too powerfull IMO. Like this one map where attackers have to run over a bridge and half closed door (no other way in) and ballista is aimed right at that. You can just troll and kill same person all over again if you want, and only thing he can do is just sit at spawn. They are fine on open areas though.

I think the problem is that some people just like to leech with them than relly help the team, only few are real "big gun" nightmares [Raziel  :evil: ]. I don't care personally if you remove them or not.

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.
