So I got a few questions for the LDers out there, answer AT YOUR OWN PERIL

1) Do you think more ASI will improve your game?

2) Rank in order of most hated to least hated: AT, Lag, Polaris, Valiance Spam, Heavy Sword Combos, Shock Spam (Chose all of the things that I have seen people complain about in the past week from spectating)

3) If you could change one thing about lockdown, what would it be? You can pick anything from OOO getting actual servers to reducing the range of the antiguas by 1 tile.

4) What does the Darkcub say?

5) What are your favorite and least favorite maps?

1.) Generally, but not always.

2.) Lag, Valiance spam, Polaris, shock spam, heavy sword combos, AT

3.) Find a better system for how defenses are calculated.

4.) Broken English.

5.) Favorite... Gardens. No real hazards, easy to get to all the points, but easy to defend your own.
Least favorite... I dunno, probably Downtown.

  1. Yes
  2. AT, Polaris, shock spam, lag, heavy sword combos, valiance spam
  3. I'm with Illu here. Custom lobbies would be ideal. If that's not a single change, I'd rather see chat disabled.
  4. "sk dead or no??"
  5. Necropolis and Downtown, respectively.

1) Yes.
2) Poolaris, AT (and the people who whine about it every waking moment), Valiance "spam", Heavy Sword Combos, Shock "Spam", (Server) Lag

4) "i quit"
5) Reactor and Avenue

:-)

1) if used correctly yes

2) AT, then heavy sword combos, then shock spam, then lag, then polaris, then valiance.

3) take out the ability to use AT after having player 48+ hours of LD, that should be enough time to get used to the game style, and start learning to aim for yourself

4) "broken english" lmao ^

5) favorite: mines, forest,
worst: avenue, downtown,

1) Do you think more ASI will improve your game?
ASI will not improve my game (that is, my skill), but most of the time it is easier more efficient to use weapons with greater ASI, yes.

2) Rank in order of most hated to least hated: Auto-Target, Lag, Polaris, Valiance Spam, Heavy Sword Combos, Shock Spam (Chose all of the things that I have seen people complain about in the past week from spectating)
Despite the annoyance of these things, none of them are "noob weapons/options. All are valid play-styles.
Anyway:
1. Lag - the only true problem out of all of these things

2. Heavy sword comboes - I dislike those who spam heavy sword combos (i.e rely on them without any other skill).

3. Polaris - A weapon used successfully by experienced and new players alike, the Polaris does not require much..aiming.

4. Auto-Target - When abused (i.e spamming ff comboes), it is annoying. However, the hate against it is amazing for the minuscule changes it makes.

5. Shock spam - The price of using a weapon of less strength is the occasional shock. While this can be a pain as it relies on chance, the people who use shock often sacrifice pure damage.

6. Valiance spam - Valiance requires aiming. If someone defeated you with Valiance, there is a 95% chance you were simply outplayed.

3) If you could change one thing about lockdown, what would it be? You can pick anything from OOO getting actual servers to reducing the range of the antiguas by 1 tile.
Custom lobbies, where we can switch off options (auto-target, certain weapons, etc), basically play around with the game's commands like you can in CS:GO offline.

4) What does the Darkcub say?

"SK is dead now" (unfortunately, each time he says it he is more correct--But still--incorrect.)

5) What are your favorite and least favorite maps?
Favorite is probably Ruins for it's simple, aesthetically pleasing style. It is probably the map most well-suited to competitive play. Least favorite is probably Stadium, in my opinion it is downright ugly, it is so huge that finding people to fight is a pain, and health stations are poorly designed in all of Lockdown.

1) Do you think more ASI will improve your game?
-Well considering I use Full Vog, no. I can't get any more. But in general, I play better with ASI than damage bonus.

2) Rank in order of most hated to least hated: AT, Lag, Polaris, Valiance Spam, Heavy Sword Combos, Shock Spam (Chose all of the things that I have seen people complain about in the past week from spectating)
-Lag
-AT
-Polaris
-Shock
-Valiance
-Sword Combos

3) If you could change one thing about lockdown, what would it be? You can pick anything from OOO getting actual servers to reducing the range of the antiguas by 1 tile.
-CUSTOM LOBBIES with options like AT, UV's etc and more players (overall, not per game)

4) What does the Darkcub say?
-No comment

5) What are your favorite and least favorite maps?
-What Contri said, but add the other snow maps to "worst". Edit: Also this.

Welp...

1: Depends on the weapon
2: Polaris is easy to dodge. OOO has servers so fix your own damned connection. Lag isn't an issue when you learn to love latency and how it throws people off. AT is a free resource and people will use it whatsoever so there is no point. Shock can be prevented by armor, so I guess heavy sword comboing and the new Elemental/Shadow/Piercing blaster spam.
3: Adding a "mute chat" option. Removing the ability to see how much damage you did would also be a nice touch to calm some of the more...fervent ego's in the game.
4: Some useless spanish crap.
5: Ruins is favorite, Avenue is least favorite.

My turn !

1. Yupp

2. Lag, as I can't do anything about it, so I just deal with it. 1 bar on both servers, doesn't bother me much though. The rest don't matter.

But since AT is a big topic, here's my 2 cents. I don't care whether people have it on or off, it only gives people a convenient excuse for getting outplayed.

3. Mute opposition team's chat.

4. I don't know, don't bash a person on the forums, no matter who it is.

5. My favourite map is snowballs-- I mean, Frostbite. Ya' know, for the snowballs, it's also harder to get screen camped as you don't need to move downwars towards a cap point when you come out ( P.S. - But I still only like it for the snowballs ). Though I love all the small maps. My most hated map is avenue, I had a phase where I'd just leave if I got it.

O O O it's magic!

1. It helps when trying to recover from mistakes, but nothing improves your game like your first strike being accurate.

2. AT obviously. There is no other option in the game more selfish and self centered, and no other option in the game that brings the most rage. Turn it off, step it up, and be a better player. http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/ <- The website for cookie clicker if you want a game where you just click around and get big numbers. The rest are all manageable.

3. Removing part if not all of the HUD (including the text box). This is available in almost every pvp game I have ever played... Would really help when recording on top of that.

4. I haven't seen him talk in a while - he's been on ignore for quite some time.

5. Ramparts and Ruins are my top two favorites. Avenue is by far the worst stage design ever. Camera angle advantage makes any match that might have been close completely one sided. Frostbite is the other one - though not quite as bad as Avenue. Same deal though, all the points suffer from camera angle advantage, leaving your attempt to cap being rewarded by a double swing or a charge shot unseen.
