So, when I play lockdown, in tier 2, there is ALWAYS someone on there I have no chance of beating, I mean these guys, they hit me once and I die, They always seem to have 3 star equipment too, which to me seems unfair, as someone just entering tier 2 would have no hope of defeating that, and if you can't get past them, you can't score points. My suggestion is that there should be a tier between two and three, or that lockdown itself should be done with set equipment, I thought a different set for each class or something. otherwise you have people who should really be in tier 3 playing all the time to farm cr

If you have even one piece of 4* equipment, you'll end up in T3 Lockdown. Nice try, buddy.

Unless you were using a Proto Sword or something (and even then), I'm pretty sure it's not possible to have hit the person 20 times without them dying. Nice try, buddy.

Search bar! There's probably at least ten other threads about balancing Lockdown, and I have a good feeling that most of them have more substance and less complaint than yours. Just saying.

Lockdown isn't just about killing things. Sometimes a skilled Recon will focus almost entirely on capturing points, which is how you win Lockdown. You don't win Lockdown by killing things, but doing so will usually help in capturing points.

You're the idiot here, strum. Play in a lockdown tier you can compete in, not the highest one you can get into.

well I'm sorry for wanting to

well I'm sorry for wanting to play with my 2* equipment, I'm not an idiot, I was just offering a suggestion to make lockdown more enjoyable for everyone, I find your insults counter-productive. And the term 'going full [slash]' is not meant as an insult, it's a quote from a film. Maybe you would find it funny if you knew the film or had a sense of humour

From what I hear, you're going in T3 LD with two star equipment.

Just implement a Lockdown where everyone is handed Ancient Plate, Sudaruskas, 2x Pentas, and Iron Slugs.

Can no one on this site read plain English? I said playing in TIER 2

I can assure you I'm not even gonna bother suggesting anything on here from now on, as all you get on here is people insulting you and ignoring the ideas you put forward.

My, aren't you hilarious?

"what?

did you even read that? or did you just go full [slash]?"

Of course I read it, silly. I even responded according to what you originally posted, which was something like:
"So, when I play lockdown, in tier 2, there is ALWAYS someone on there I have no chance of beating, I mean I hit these guys like 20 times and nothing, they hit me once and I die, They always seem to have 3 or 4 star equipment too, which to me seems unfair, as someone just entering tier 2 would have no hope of defeating that, and if you can't get past them, you can't score points. My suggestion is that there should be a tier between two and three, or that lockdown itself should be done with set equipment, I thought a different set for each class or something. otherwise you have people who should really be in tier 3 playing all the time to farm cr and that to me is just cheating the game"

Note that the bold parts are what I've filled in from memory. The rest of it is your post as it was when I began writing this response. Back to the topic at hand.

Don't go calling me a [slash] because you claimed that people wearing 4* equipment were killing you in T2 Lockdown. Not only is that offensive to me, it's offensive to people who have disabilities. Furthermore, it seems to me that in fact you did not read what I posted. Here, let me lay this all out flat for you.

"If you have even one piece of 4* equipment, you'll end up in T3 Lockdown. Nice try, buddy."
In your original post, you were whining that people in 4* equipment were killing you in T2 Lockdown. Here, I point out the fact that a single piece of 4* equipment will force you to play in T3 Lockdown, making it impossible for a person wearing 4* equipment to have killed you in T2 Lockdown. "Nice try, buddy" was my way of telling you that your argument is invalid, and that you should think about what you're saying before you say it.

"Unless you were using a Proto Sword or something (and even then), I'm pretty sure it's not possible to have hit the person 20 times without them dying. Nice try, buddy."
In your original post, you were whining that hitting someone 20 times would not do anything to them, and then they would hit you once, resulting in your death. Here, I point out that it's virtually impossible for you to hit someone 20 times and not do enough damage to kill them. "Nice try, buddy" was my way of telling you that your argument is invalid, and that you should think about what you're saying before you say it.

"Search bar! There's probably at least ten other threads about balancing Lockdown, and I have a good feeling that most of them have more substance and less complaint than yours. Just saying."
In your original post, you suggested that Lockdown be restricted such that each class uses a specific set of equipment. This suggestion is one of many that I've seen in my time on the Suggestions Forum, and I provided you with a link to a different idea. I then mentioned that other people who have suggested a more balanced Lockdown have done it in a more substantial, mature manner.

"Lockdown isn't just about killing things. Sometimes a skilled Recon will focus almost entirely on capturing points, which is how you win Lockdown. You don't win Lockdown by killing things, but doing so will usually help in capturing points."
This is me giving you advice in how to play Lockdown. I may not be the best Lockdown player, but I feel like this is a fairly simple concept to grasp.

Feel like spewing more crap, smart one? Try me.

Agreed

I concur Iron.

Mal's not being 'smarmy'. You're just refusing to face facts.

Wall of text-TL;DR
Is shown to be wrong-You're just being a smartass.
Everyone shuts him down-ZOMG GUISE CN'T RED ENGRISH.

"And the term 'going full [slash]' is not meant as an insult, it's a quote from a film. Maybe you would find it funny if you knew the film or had a sense of humour"

You're an idiot. Period.

It doesn't matter if the 'quote' was from a movie. It's an insult. By your logic I could 'quote' the F-word from a movie and expect you NOT to take offense from it.

"I can assure you I'm not even gonna bother suggesting anything on here from now on, as all you get on here is people insulting you and ignoring the ideas you put forward."

Says the guy who opened hostilities. Mal started off pretty nicely, even telling you what you SHOULD be doing in LD.

EDIT:
"Or maybe you could take the fact that this is a suggestion thread and I made a suggestion which was ignored and you're all chatting shiz about something which is kinda irrelevant to my suggestion"

Hurr, maybe because you started bashing the first person who posted on your thread for no reason other than 'Y U NO SUPPORT! :('

Silly newbies, they can't understand the concept of having to take hurt if they try dish it out. Keyword 'try', you're failing badly and are really just getting yourself laughed at for your own stupidity.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I need something to smash later.

"nothing says butthurt like walls of text, tl;dr"

Walls of text are how things get done around here. Whining is how to be barred out by the community. You are whining. Whining is for wimps. Wimps are fodder. Fodder is what cattle eat. Cattle digest this fodder and turn it into feces. You are cattle feces. Your arguments and existence in this forum are invalid.

"Whine whine. Mommy, Luguiru is being a stinky meanie."

Your tears quench my thirst for vanquishing cowardice.

Goes to show how much you care. Would you rather I just say: 'Shut up no-one cares. If I bother explaining why everyone will just TL;DR.' That's just stupid.

Or perhaps you expect us to take insults lying down and present him with flowers expressing our sincere apologies for not NOT caring about his insults?

An alternative way would be a ranking system. Top players get matched with top players, newbies with newbies, etc.

But the playerbase may not be big enough.

rank!

@Juances: their really should be a ranking system. even though we already get rank points after each match, it doesn't really do much besides telling the place you have on the leader board.

_if those points assigned Elite players Vs. Elite player and New player Vs. New player, the lock down games would not only be decided by armor and weapon star equipped, but also by the rank you have for tier 1 pvp, tier 2 pvp, and tier 3 pvp.

_Their would be a ranking system for each tier, that way players wont complain if they cant beat someone that is on their same rank and the good players would rise up on rank to get better challenges.

_love your idea.
