Post by: isatis on March 21, 2013, 11:31:28 pm

Hey hey hey!

Here's the beauty funny awesomy wizardy Ballista :

(click to show/hide)

It's a beauty!

BUT now, you'll ask me, how do I use such a fiercy beast!

Part one : HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSE TO USE IT???!??!?!
Well I made a simplified shema of the ballista. Prepare your eyes because it's ugly but it's really alll you need to understand the ballista base mechanix

(click to show/hide)

Because I know you English people like straight thing I'll make a bullet point list of action!

Step one : Pull the crank* (hold it when you see : Pull the crank and hold it and hold it! until the red bar have destroyed the dark!)

Step two : move around ballista until you see ''Use the ballista'' or ''Take aim''

Step three : Aim by gluing your right button and moving your mouse to see the ballista slowly move to where you put your visor** [\li]
- Step four : [R]elease Giant Lance by swiftly cliking on the left mouse button!

*Refer to the shema to see what is a crank
**Quick tip : aim at foe, not ally! it's fun to see people flying all over the place... but you know... control yourself!
Part one is already finish! now you know how to use a ballista!!

Part two : Behavior around the ballista or HOW TO BE USEFULL
Again list point! Those are basic rules of behavior around the ballista if you want to stay alive... Not following one of these rules may result in a ballista shot to the head
- Never, ever, put yourself in front of ballista when someone is using it... self-explanatory
- Never, ever, try to use ballista when someone is already using it... espacially if you waste the shot right away
- If you think the guy who is using the ballista isn't doing a great job, ask politely. DO NOT TK HIM!! If he do not cooperate, just wait, a bad ballistaman usually get killed quick[\li]
  - If you are a shielder, consider protecting the ballistaman, he's the important guy![\li]
    - Common sense![\li]
    Part two already finished :O
    
    Part three, how to be one awesome ballista man!
    The art of the ballista is hard to master. A bad ballista man can easily turn the side of a battle... against his team! While a good ballista man can make his team win by being a true pain in the ennemie ass!
    First, let's do a FAQ
    How do I know if I'm doing the thing right?
    If you have people from other team swearing to kill you before they can go away of the server, you are doing it right! If your team try to kill you... well... you are not doing it right! More seriously, You are the controler of a gigantic one-shotter that can even impale two or more people... if the ennemie team does not fear you, you'll need to practice more!
    How am I suppose to control the wep-dropping glitch?
    My dear, you need to drop your wep BEFORE using a ballista!! You don't need to drop them all, usually one will work!
    
    MORE IS COMING!

OMG MY SECRET IDENTITY!!

anyway, if you think it is that simple... there is a whole path of mastering the quadratic function under the projectile, and also how to aim with precision by knowing the broken mechanix!! And a ''crank'' can be rather large as a definition...

Defenitively you people need a guide!

I think you're neat so I'll teach you how if you'd like.

Keep in mind that I know how to use one, but personally I'm not great at it due to lack of practice.

Since ballista is being added to siege we need this thread to be seen!

No word on the equipment drop? Everytime I get on a ballista it makes me drop my weapons and gives me an italian sword.

Equipement drop was not here when I first make the thread!

Best way to avoid that : drop your wep BEFORE using ballista!!
