You have to keep a close eye on these guys. I'm starting to gather why engineers were banned in the first place. It truly does have good intent; however, people really start off playing honestly, then as time goes they begin to dabble in the exploiting side of things.
I was in siege yesterday and the first round defense spawned a siege tent right next to the gate tower which I thought was a clever idea at the time because if they die and respawn boom they are there to protect the gate tower immediatley. Well that was until the next round started when they spawned as defense. Of course they spawn inside of the keep and immediatley open the gate leading to a 30 second win. That in my opinion is exploiting game mechanics BIG TIME.
Siege equipment needs to be 100% destroyed at the end of every round. Just as loose arrows and corpses are wiped clean of the map, siege equipment should be the same. If that mechanic existed, the only thing I would look out for is engineers over spawning siege equipment.
As far as other peoples concerns about unlimited throwing lances, i'm not sure if I tent to agree or disagree with this. I think it is kind of neat and creative; however, I see how it can be interpreted as overpowering. I will just probably stay out of all debates on that topic.
Hahahaha! Pun!
I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with this yet, having not experienced the woes of a forward base or whatever. If it's anything like ladders, though, we can expect to see them gone in due time.
