Entertaining LD excuses
Wed, 09/19/2012 - 05:29
I took a short break from the game and have come back to play a bit of lockdown lately. "Shockingly" the game is still full of complaining, rage, and excuses. So it made me wonder has anyone heard any good LD excuses. I am not talking about the normal whining and complaining such as: Lag, spammer, you have 4 bars, or the mysterious “phantom range”. I am looking for quality reasons to die regardless of the skill of the other team.
The best I can come up with is when I used to play with a controller from time to time my kid would walk past and pull the cord out.
I may toss in a prize for the best excuse you have made or heard another player make.

You are so lazy you didn't read all the "lag"s above and you also didn't notice one of them is "Log"! Now you're trying to find the "log"! And you're disappointed because you didn't find it. *trollface*

Canine- saw something close but it appeared to be mostly whining about lag and spam: see fallenhope's response above for an example.

@Fallenhope: The thing is....people who lag badly gets so annoyed that they just cuss at lag openly. Its kinda of someone relieves them of the frustration of dying not because of lack of skills, but just because they happen to have a bad connection to the server.

Lag can be a real issue
Especially in large amounts, you'll find out that the spur line is not the only line that can shoot you at gun shot distance with the normal swing...
Other than that, the 9001 threads on LD balancing bring up valid points.

Why is that key with a moon on it so appealing to children? I have been struck by that one also.

Lag and phantom range are
Lag and phantom range are somewhat valid excuses if they are running on a low end computer or bad connection. Lockdown is one of the most resource heavy things in SK especially if you are in a big match. Unsure what causes phantom range besides the SK client failing to update peoples spots correctly when told by the server where people are but meh. I prefer reading the excuses about trinkets, armor, and shock UVs.

Best I've ever heard
It must have been when a "pro" skolver got shot by me and said: what the hell? I dudn't walk there my jeyboard is just lagging cause the battery is low.
I loved that excuse so much that I can still remember it about 3 months later

Hm.
My personal favourite is probably 'Hey, Y U kill me? I was AFK 'cause I had to load the dishwasher.'
I just made that up.
From an actual 'excuse' seen here.

The thing about the hammer is that you can easily dismantle people using it if you yourself know how to use it. Since I wield it chiefly in the clockworks, I totally destroy people that dare use it on me. As such, I never got the rage over it.
But AA seems to be the punching bag these days instead of UVs. Guess there's a cycle to these things. Good thing I tend to ignore the chat. If only there was a way to hide it outright...

Better Lockdown
I came up with a design I see as far more tactical and fair. The thing is to remove classes entirely and instead have power-ups be bought by earning heat.
Heat is earned by capturing platforms and defeating rival players.
Like in the clockworks heat adds up, however, there would be a limit in lockdown how much heat can be stored at once. With this one would be able to trade the heat for power-ups like + health, + attack, +speed, etc.
Power ups are selected by clicking the on one of the options would be selected using the number keys or the icons which are displayed at the top of the screen.
Power-ups are limited to one per type but can all be obtained.
Capturing platforms gives all players in a team heat enough for half a power-up.
Players defeating others gives the player who defeated the other half the defeated players heat. Players who participate in defeating one enemy but do not defeat them themselves also gain some heat.
Players with no heat do not generate heat when defeated for the other player.
Power-ups are lost one at a time from the oldest to the newest when defeated ( unless reviving using energy).
Platforms gain power random power ups when captured. These include healing, attack up, defense up, and stealth.
Players gain access to these power-ups by being on the platform.
Stealth- gives friendly players on the platform invisibility only when not attacking or charging an attack.
Attack up- gives friendly players on the platform an attack boost for all weapons. The attack power is displayed similar to attack power-ups used by wolvers which show a red ring around the player.
Defense up- gives friendly players on the platform max defense for all damage types (this has no effect on shields; only direct damage). Defense power is displayed with a blue ring around the player.
Healing- friendly players on the platform heal at a quick rate.
Platforms do not give effects to foes.
Defending a platform also gives players extra heat when in the platform.
Possible player power ups:
+attack- boosts players attach for all weapons
+defense- boosts players defenses to max
+speed- boosts speed and movement
+charge- max charge time for all weapons
+radar- shows players directions and shows invisible players.
+Health- Similar to a heath capsule.

Once a guy who wasn't doing too well said he was doing so because "He was playing on an airplane and the guy next to him was snoring distractingly loud." I asked him why he would try to play LD on a plane. He didn't reply
