Abusing Battalion Flags
« on: February 26, 2012, 07:35:46 pm »

I was in battle recently on my archer alt, and members of CHAOS were using the Battalion Banner to block my shots when I got close. They also used it when I got into melee so I could not see where my target was.  I don't know if this has been addressed before or if this is against the rules.  I would like to see banners being used for their real purpose, not in this underhanded way.

Yes, but a very poor way to win a round. Especially with your clan behind your back against 1 archer  :?

Hahahahahahaaaa
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.

Ouch. Dunno how annoying it is since I've never seen this done, but I'll try bringing the topic up next time I get on teamspeak. Although I don't know who specifically were there.

It's not part of the game at all. This sort of lameness isnt acceptable.

So the new response to ranged ragers is not "get a shield", it is "learn to chamber ranged nub!"

Never, but if you shoot in first person they can be placed in front of you to obstruct your view and make it harder to shoot at dudes.

Do not come crying "it's not prohibited in the rules" if you invent a new creative way to be an idiot and get punished.

All said.
Hit us with screens and we'll do something about it.

What time, specifically, did this happen around?

To my knowledge we haven't been using battalion flags at all on a regular basis, but if what you say is true, I must make it stop.
