Remove ballistas from siege

[Herkkutatti666]

All these battlemy old friends telling how siege should be, lel.

[Ikarus]

I like ballistas, shooting into a crowd with them is fun, and the people who use the ballista are also easy targets

-> it´s a rewarding but risky position in siege

also, it adds a bit of atmosphere when you climb up a ladder and the first guy in front of you suddely flies over your whole team with a big fat bolt in his stomach

you guys want more melee? bring meleeserver back 

[Porthos]

Do they REALLY bother anyone that much? I just ignore them, except when i die once per map or something...

This passage is tighter than a virgin's anus. You have almost no chance to avoid the shot there if that ballista is already pulled. One more screen taken at the same place a few minutes after the previous one.

Ballistas is just stupid. You almost cant survive no matter if you use shield or tonn of IF or whatever else. And yes it is REALLY bothering you when you trying to reach the flag, spent a lot of time just to get your ass over there, and then *bang* some random shit landed into your head. What for it is added? Or don't we have enough of ranged my old friends yet? Besides that many people tends to stick with ballistas while the enemies capturing the flag just in a couple of steps from them. I've seen many times how people just messing up near ballistas, reloading it instead of going to defend the flag. Ballistas is a fun thing, but very stupid at the same time.

I wish they could skewer and pin people to walls

Even tho I don't love getting shot, I do like the ballistas. Just imagine you have to get up some steep ladder only to meet a damn solid shieldwall with few maulers. No way to survive it otherwise, but you can clear a way with ballista. It can even out a fail balance on some rare occasions if used correctly. Tho IMHO they should be positioned so that defenders can't rape attacker spawn with one. And no more than one ballista for defenders...

Bullshit, I had 6 shield skill (was using +3 steel shield) and I remember it helped me survive it.

In a place where you respawn after 5 seconds, it is not a big deal. You can actually watch out in dangerous ballista zones if you don't want to get shot as well.

same here, still over and after all, more ranged was what we needed right?

The concept at first was nice, now it is just anoying ... like any ranged.
Also not much of a differance to other ranged, it pretty much kills you when you get hit.
But hell devs, this aint the biggest problem we have with ranged atm, just play for a week on eu1 and you may get a hint towards what all the other ranged nerv threads are talking about.

notion denied, there are bigger fish to fry

The only thing they add is another "reason" for people to leech and not contribute to the team effort.

Siege is about taking/defending that flag, not shooting stupid projectiles and farm kills.

[Rebelyell]

wowo hate is stronk in you

[Kafein]

Ballistas are fun when you try and shoot them and get a lolzy multikill or get shot by it the first dozen times.

Remove please. They fit DTV perfectly but players are not bots.

[Erzengel]

Now I could write a lengthy and elaborate post on why...

100% sure you couldn't.

[wayyyyyne]

[JokeQ]

remove this shit

[En_Dotter]

Balista is something i hate even more than xbow (and that is an achievement for balista), and i refuse to use any of those two. Yet, they add some sort of annoyance, fun and rage. That is totally fine with me. No from me. They should stay and annoy me more so i can kill more of those balista guys and xbow my old friends.
