Get rid of turrets and martyrdom!

I do have to say that it does suck when you spawn, have no world knowledge, and run straight around a corner into a downed Nader and instantly die for 20 second respawn.

Same could happen with mines, stickies, random dude, etc. though so what you gonna do.[/quote]

Explode, technically.

That’s the learning experience. Unforgiving sure but people will learn just like I did and I’m stupidly forgetful.

If you watch professionals, or high level players, you notice they do NOT instantly go for the knife for the anti-revive, they clear out an area, THEN kill all the downed bodies. This is because you don’t need to immediately kill the bodies if you are pushing properly, so as a group, because no medic will be idiotic enough to run into that, because they will die doing it, along with the person they revive.
As for the turrets, try shoulder peaking, or using nader, fragger, or standing far away and aiming well at it. The turrents aren’t very high health, they only have 120HP, about as much as another player, and they have a max range, AND they don’t instantly attack, they have a delay, AND they are stationary.
So really, they neither are all that bad.

EH…?!

Who said that ‘huge part of DB is knifing downed players’ !!!
Use your damn gun and headshot em, its not like they are asding…

But turrets needs a bloody HP nerf(again), 1-2 turrets are ok but 3-5 of em protecting a bloody objective? Its like 8players+5 auto guns vs 8 players… A lot of players like me has to ninja into them with nader (or flecture) to kill em, only to see them up again by the time we respawn !

Either reduce the HP n DMG of turrets or make their cool down to 1min+ if they get destroyed !

As mentioned, a whole lot of things people have issues with stems from us not having the complete merc roster.

I really thought we’d get Red-Eye, Phantom or Turtle this update.

Red-Eye and Turtle would be too much for all sentries.

Even with the full merc roster, bad players are still going to complain about anything that kills them often, even if it is 100% their fault for using the same fail tactics time and time again.

dont have a problem taking a turret defended section of a map… with the current rotation there are alot of bushies just stacking turrets in 1 spot and moving off to another… 1 nade from a fragger = insta clear lane for objectives…


(Jostabeere) #30

So martyrdom is strong but Mines, sticky-bombs, airstrikes aren’t?
The only thing about turret is the annoying spam. if you have 4 Bushes and they all put it in the same place.


(GoobyOfPls) #31

Martyrdom is annoying, but that’s the point. It’s to stop Proxies like myself who run around shotgunning people and knifing their dead bodies.

Turrets are super easy to disable, I can walk up and flick one and it’ll blow up. That’s why they deal so much damage in a few seconds.


(Dirmagnos) #32

I dont care about Bushes, as mentioned, there are effective ways to wipe them out, stepdancing is probably the easiest.
But what pisses me off, if when theres 2-3 of those “pros” who literally run past planted dyna, eg they select class purely for turret and then those cencored are cursing and yelling “revive, revive”… cencored you, those who contribute get revive, rest can suck my long john !

Did you just …censor your own post.

Why.
