I don't think it's been this bad ever before.... everyone is using an xbow/bow or throwing. It's a rangefest currently, and the icing on the cake is that they all camp on roofs.

A little fix, other than that you hit the spot.

Shields seem OK to me. Battle awareness goes a long way. Once you're aware of the archer behind you, you just have to hope he doesn't have perfect timing with the archer in front of you. If there's 4+ archers all camping an area, I choose to wait for flags if possible.

It's always been like this. Even before upkeep when everyone wore full plate with sniper crossbow sidearms and bows didn't come with a super long firing animation.

It's ridiculous how every time an admin isn't on, you get tons of unreachable roof campers. They should just disable ladders.

It is ridiculous that some people will exploit or cheat if allowed? Good sir I find your faith and expectations in humanity to be rather refreshing.

I say the solution is simply this: More late-time admins.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

You'd need a lot more, and there'd still be times admins aren't on. Plus is it really that fun for anyone to have the ranged camp on an unreachable roof until they're the last ones and drop down? Why do we need ladders?

These last few days, man...

I would ban, not warn, ban every time I see some prick with a "funny" name for like a whole week. And I would take notes so next time I ban that prick it would be at least 6 months.

Enough with that goody goody attitude.

If we have tighter map quality control then yes I would support ladders being disabled for standard battle.

Agreed. Disable ladders on Battle servers.

This.

Or, invisible wall every fucking roof there is in battle if it can be done. Because there are still roofs that can be reached with enough athletics and some jumping skills.

I'm not sure what servers you guys are playing on, but ladders are pretty damn rare as far as I've seen on NA 1 at least. The slot patch made it so hardly anyone brings them anymore.  Much ado about nothing if you ask me.  Whiners just looking for the next whine...

Often whenever I'm on a roof the other side chooses to break the ladder and make it unreachable just so they can whine about people getting in unreachable places.
