I read through this thread, and there have been some interesting posts, especially in response to my original posts. The following are points I'd like to make:
1. Thank you GodlessPaladin. You understand the meaning of my posts and even went so far as to defend this meaning. You got flamed in the harshest way, and I'm sorry you had to go through that, especially on my behalf. One usually sees someone defend her or his own posts, but one rarely sees another person defend another's post with so much rigor. I really appreciate what you've gone through, and what you could be going through, and I want to state publicly that you do understand I stated only an opinion and not an edict telling others how they must play by my rules. The flames came, and you defended my posts even though for doing so those flames against you became very personal and caustic.
2. To the people who were launching the vitriolic attacks on GodlessPaladin: I fail to see where my posts were hypocritical. It isn't hypocritical to state a like or dislike. It would be hypocritical had I stated that all players must game my way or not at all. I didn't state this, and the people who think I did ought to read my posts again, closely. These are public forums; what I saw in these attacks on GodlessPaladin were dismaying to say the least. It seems one or more people misinterpreted what I said, and others leapt on this misinterpretation and would not refer back to my posts for any clarification. That's just sad. GodlessPaladin was standing up to what he rightly saw as someone misreading a post and then defending against the misinterpretation. We should all hope there are a lot of GodlessPaladins who will put themselves in flames' way in order to defend the integrity of the forums.
3. Krysae is OP. A sniper weapon is geared to headshots for maximum damage. This is even in the Rank evolution descriptions, where one specifically adds headshot damage. Since when does a sniper have AoE abilities where a person can hit near the enemy yet score a direct hit, and with so much damage? This really dumbs down sniper skills. I've only been gaming about 6 weeks now, and I started out as a bronze, and I was lucky to be a bronze. Since then, many players have helped me even forming missions just to show me what skills do what and how to use guns and skills as well as map and game tactics. I can do golds now, but it took a lot of practice. I like the fact that when ME 3 first came out there weren't these heavy damage dealing weapons. I had to learn how to play with what I had, and with my team. Why should a weapon have allowed me to do a silver when it was only the weapon allowing me to do this and not my abilities? I find it fun to have had to learn, to have met the cool people I have, and to continue to learn every day. And tbh, I had as much fun in bronze matches then as I do in silver and gold matches now.
BW though is competing with other games for traffic, and when Halo comes out, this competition will really increase. It seems to me that the devs at BW want more people to be able to do gold missions, so they push out weapons that allow this to happen. It will work, and it has worked. The Krysae is one such weapon. Make it a shotty and throttle its range or do something, but as it is, it's a Claymore X in a sniper rifle build. That just doesn't make much sense to me. If you think I'm wrong, that's fine. I would ask my detractors why anything called a *sniper rifle* should be easy to use and hit as an AoE as opposed to being hard to use and require a direct headshot?
Cheers
