Not that it matters and apparently these forums are full of a bunch of 5 year old kids with no way to accept or counter point an argument. But let me throw in my 2 cents to the issue as I see it. Yes: MoTF is horribly broken and obviously needs a fix/alteration to improve the effectiveness of it. A static spawn timer would cure and or alleviate almost 99% of these problems especially on a lot of the NA1 "NASCAR Maps" as we dub them where teams chase each other for half the round before turning to face what is remaining. As for the "Horse Xbow Problem" as it has been stated this is how I see it. A) It's a class as viable as any other class and when played properly is very effective (i.e. counter cav, archer, HA) Therefore to suggest nerfing the class to appease our own selfish ego's would in essence perpetuate a lot of what has been dong wrongfully in the game already. However, I do feel they can be slightly imbalanced with the high level of acceleration/Maneuver of the Arabian coupled with the horse "bump" dmg makes for some retarded end round clutches. But that is a different post entirely. B) The general attitude of the people playing the class themselves is pretty much the pits I have seen many of them type in all chat taunting people saying they were legitimately there to pretty much piss people off. Now, while the class itself does not necessarily need a nerf there needs to be a serious re-defining of what it means to "delay" in my opinion. As stated in the NA rule set is "engaging the enemy as per your classes tactics dictate" to paraphrase this includes "kiting, surprise attacks, and general hit and run tactics". Fair enough I can agree with those rules they are pretty cut and dry but when these guys are "playing to their class" they are being as obnoxiously close to breaking the rules without crossing the line. With 2 mins left on the clock and generally anywhere from 5-10+ players still alive these guys are practically spitting in the face of everyone playing the game. Admins and players all in one we're all in the same boat, we all want to just get to the next round because no one wants to be that guy who got jumped to shit in the first round of a risk game and ends up having to watch the 3 hour sluggfest between the last 2 people. We want to continue playing and while they may be "playing to their class" they are wasting everyone's time playing out a round with no probable chance of winning. So while the class may not be inherently flawed the players themselves kinda are I have seen plenty of HA's and HX's like Rohyp take the honorable rout and dismount when there was no chance and if this was carried out by everyone playing HX I'd be happy. Again this comes back to a MoTF fix that would alleviate this issue. What I really don't like seeing is retarded bundle of sticks posts with childish responses from people the people who are supposed to kind of be the ones in control and impartial to a point. Now, as adults can we guide this discussion back to a balance issue and a matter of intentional douchbaggery rather than bicker and fight to a point where the original focus of this post is completely lost?
P.S. Any Dev. input would be greatly appreciated as to why or why not this kind of change has been implemented would be nice.
