I score 10k dmg in skelly jelly armor in T3 lockdown umad ujelly uskelly no skill wannabe go back to being a baby faced fart commander xD

You just need to adapt to the increased amount of HP. It's still possible to bomb people to death, you just need to get used to some living the first few blasts; also, a combination of bombing, gunning, and swording is usually the best strategy.

@Neodasus: It's actually pretty easy to score 10K and over in T3 but the original post is about T1, I've never had the honor of killing you in T1 so I doubt you play it.

Killing people sometimes isn't the best thing you can do for your team. Like Imperial said; Capturing other points, death-marking people, guarding a striker/recon, or just distracting the other team is a big help. I can usually handle most of the other team but I can only capture one point at a time, that's why I'm so glad when people like Greenlocust or Imperialstriker are on my team, that's at least two points that will be ours since one defends and the other captures.

Try scoring 10k in 2* armor and no damage bonuses

I haven't actually played T1 or T2 lockdown since I got my trinkets; do the star levels of the trinkets you have equipped affect your tier? Maybe that's all the change that's needed, with T1 only allowing up to 1 star trinkets, T2 only allowing up to 3 star, and T3 allowing the full gamut.

Or I could suggest you just get better, but that's really a poor response to what is at its core a balance issue.

umad feller that you died from a "no skill autoaim full combo" striker?

"no reason to be butt ravaged, just CE revive and you get to have the chance for a revenge kill!" - OOO

All this kind of discussions are worthless untill OOO bans all US players, those lowerlatency-auto target noobs in Lookdown... right? right?!

I used to be against trinkets, since I thought that it gave people an unfair advantage. My viewpoint has made a complete turnabout though. Here's why:
Previously, pre-heart trinket patch, one was able to go recon, go in Skolver armor (ash tail even), sneak up on a lone striker attempting to cap a point, and 2-hit him before he even knew what happened. Fun stuff, but it meant more time waiting, dead. Now, attacks are more lengthy, and you actually need skill to outmaneuver and kill your opponent. There are the people who don't use trinkets just because they are still against them, but that's their loss.

TL;DR get trinkets.

@Blueflood I am totally with you on the "nerf range of toothpicks." DMG is manageable though.
The range can be tested this way: The flourish can hit an exploding block without even appearing to get close to it. That's pretty ridiculous.

As every non-toothpick user has pleaded OOO to do for so much time;

1) Reduce the range of flourishes (same range as brandishes makes sense)
2) Keep damage the same
3) ???
4) PROFIT (legit $$$ man)

Result: Happy players; Increased diversity of armor/weapons.

Increased diversity means more armor types. This means more $$$.
Happier players also means more $$$. They will actually start to enjoy lockdown (I'm talking about the non-flourish users).

₩hat?!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, that's ₩hat!

quad post..........nice

anyways, that would give a ridiculously long waiting time for LD matches, as if we dont wait long enough as it is.
why not just ban trinket all together and automatically turn off their auto aim in LD? seriously, the Health Trinket ONLY rule seems rather stupid to me

probably not. Devs wont care much cause all we need to do it turn it on and everyone will be "equal"
although forced autoaim off would show the true skill of a player and makes it more fun and skill based

im more against the idea of only letting health trinket work in LD. i mean, in T3, if you dont have that extra 12hp, you are at an disadvantage, especially if you want to play sword only striker and not get killed in 2 hits.

thats not the issue, we want no autoaims in LD to show the true skill of a player

anyone can lie about having autoaim on or off

we just want it to be automatically off during LD matches

1. Don't change the Flourish line at all, in fact...don't change any weapons. And...don't change any armor either. With the addition of heart trinkets to Krogmo, there isn't really any imbalance.

2. Disable Autoaim. If gunners generally have to play without autoaim and autoaim doesn't affect bombing...it shouldn't be ridiculously beneficial to sword users. The fact that autoaim tracks recons in stealth is why a striker will slice at nothing at all continuously the second "!" appears over their head.

3. Group size in SK is 4. Guild vs Guild lockdown games should also be 4.

+Suggestion
Add the arena game. Have options for random teams 4v4. And Guild vs Guild games (4v4). The original arena game would still use the 3 "classes" introduced in lockdown.

Extend the arena game to an optional 1v1 mode. This would have a random mode and a dueling pregame room (Like the Krogmo Prep Room) where you can invite another player (Max: 2) and then take the elevator to duel. This mode would not cost anything to play, have no bribe meter, would not grant any Krogmo Coins nor will have a leaderboard.

The necro is appreciated.

Now we can all continue this with several posts of rage, namecalling, and other various distasteful lockdown inflicted carp.

What is LD?

Thanks :)

You are going to need this:

Thanks?

You'll get more information by playing it. Haven't played T1 LD in a little while, but from what I hear, the game's changed. Not terribly friendly to newer players, what with the rocket hammers. I never really played T2, but I get the impression its just dusker clones. T3 has its fair share of skolver clones, but it has a pretty large amount of Vogs, bombers, and gunners now that the last two become actually useful at 5*

T1 is now Pay2Win.
Hammers Rule them all.

T2 is Solvable with the Hammers.
Condescending Wonka: Oh? You have a Dusker Set with Swift Flourish/Twisted Snarble Barb? You must do so well against my Quicksilver Set & Hammer.

Haven't played T3.
No Opinion.

All in all, the Hammers are both a Blessing & a Curse.

Why would I screenshot a random statement disparaging my guild from a QQ'er? If I took a screenshot any time someone said something stupid, I'd have my hard drives and Steam Cloud filled up in no time.

As for you disparaging my guild, just because you don't remember it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. And if you can't beat an auto-aimer in a 1v1 fight, then you truly do fail at Lockdown. If you can beat them, what does it matter if they use it or not? Just because you don't like it, you don't want them to use it? I believe that most people refer to that as fascism.

"I got 150k damage in Lockdown, I dont need a screenshot because it happened (lol) if I took a screenshot everytime I got 150k damage my harddrive would blow up like fat guy in a spedo...(P.S. I hope that image won't give anyone 'Knightmares'...Baaaazzziiinnnggg ;).
Autoaim has no benefit other than helping people who don't belong in PvP. and the fact that it can glitch range should be enough to have it removed, and not to mention it locks cloaked recons.
glitch range happens with and without autoaim, but 80% is with autoaim. Viva la Autoaim.

I'd like to state, for the record, that I am NOT claiming to be an amazing Lockdown player. In fact, I claim quite the opposite, which is why I've been hanging around in Random games, practicing my strike-weave technique. That said...

You clearly know nothing about the mechanics of Lockdown, or auto-aim for that matter. Have you ever even used it? I doubt it, because otherwise you would know that it does almost nothing, and more importantly, it definitely does NOT do the things you claim it does. The fact that you don't know this shows that YOU don't belong in Lockdown.

The "glitch range" you are referring to is not a glitch. It's this aspect of computer networks called "Latency." On your screen everyone is in one place, but on another screen, everyone would be in a different place. Just because it looks like that's where they are for you, doesn't mean that's where the sever has them at. The only way to solve that problem would be to invent lag-free long-distance high-bandwith connections. Since you don't understand the concept of latency, I doubt you have the knowledge to design such an impossible system.

As for the cloaked Recons, for the last time, it does not track them. The reason cloaked Recons get hit is because they fail at playing Recon. They don't move around enough (or at all), stand in obvious places, and when they do move, they move predictably. Auto-aim has nothing to do with that.

Blueberrymuffin, you're not pro, you have no idea what you're talking about, and you're only blaming auto-aim because your ego won't let you admit to that. You're not even bothering to try and refute my points, you're just restating your case over and over agin. Go QQ somewhere else.
