Just a pet peeve, Walkers… Many users play as team mates take care in not pushing shoving or using lower profile vehicles as a meat sheild for their own personal gain resulting in the non walker build getting the short end of the stick. Then again there are those whom do. Perhaps after the wedge mechanics were tweaked so should the walkers. I do my best to avoid those builds giving ample room, With the exception of the rapid side to side manuvers in a choke zone in the attempt to pass. Purposly making the point to do so. As some do not know the meaning of teammate in their vocabulary have an “I” in their spelling of the word. Raids have to be the worse for this du*ba**ery with the rush to be far ahead to gain the most points screwing everyone else. Sadly, Thats gaming these days. perhaps the Dev’s should concider the perimeters of the walkers if those whom do this cannot act accordingly and ruin for others. Let the hate mail commence.
Ditto about the walkers. It’s bad in levi invasion where I use a tracked build with incinerators while the other 3 are usually mech leggers. I have to pretty much line up the whole build to aim, and often hit a dancing walker who jumps right in front of me just as I shoot.
Then there’s the walkers who stand right behind me, preventing me from backing up rapidly, and I get completely nuked.
I never had to craft so many repair kits before walkers came on the scene. Maybe I need a louder horn? ![]()
you may include all omnidirectional movement parts in the mix, many who use them just don’t care, and it’s not mid combat, at least, a justification, a reason.
No, it begins right at the start
the amount of times this has happened to me makes me want to reach through my scree, grab the walker and pluck its wiggling little legs right off.
i have had major issues with BWL builds and it just keeps getting worse and worse.
1: they seem to ALWAYS get in my way, even when i change positions theres always some stupid leg build running in front of me blocking my shots.
2: i CONATANTLY see leg builds with cyclones or face hugging builds running into enemies, pushing them out of jotun / fire puddles or blocking shots or literally anything that prevents you from helping your team out.
3: these builds are always giant box builds made for being obnoxious and blocking ally fire.
4: tengus need a HARD NERF. i am absolutely sick and TIRED of these stupid builds and their broken and overpowered charging ability. im not joking! these stupid things can push my build that has 6 sleipnirs both from the front and side with little effort. on my 6 bigfoot build i practically weigh nothing because they can toss me at least 100m by just boosting into me. no leg in the entire game should be able to do this!
5: dinos need the hardest nerf. why the hell do these things get the ability to jump when ever other leg in the game cannot do that? ml-200s are the tankiest leg in the game but you NEVER see people running these anymore. gerridas are the same, they are faster but they arent played. bigrams? nope, nobody uses them anymore either. all you see is these stupid legs.
6: BWL are used far more often then other legs now because of their stats, they are far, FAR stronger then their counterparts. take for example ml-200s in comparison to dinos. ml-200s are supposed to be tanky, built to be strong. they have alot more resistances then dinos but are far weaker. why do i say that? dinos are far more maneuverable, faster, tanky and can JUMP. ml-200s are stationary on the ground and cannot jump, are far slower, less maneuverable and have a hitbox that you could hit from across the galaxy. ml-200s should be stronger then these legs, especially considering they are heavily armored, heavily built and are supposed to be the tank legs. the hitbox alone is a crime against these things.
you might say you need more legs to make ml-200s work and thats the issue. you only need two legs to make BWL’s work. for ml-200s you need far more then two.
the thing is, because of these stupid BW legs the terminal-45 map got removed. this was my most favorite map of all maps for me to play in. now its gone, THANKS PLAYERS!
but really this doesnt even scratch the surface on why i hate these legs so much. i wish they would be completely removed from the game or nerfed HARD.
from players constantly getting in the way, to using you as their meat shields, to face hugging and hogging kills, to shoving players / team mates around, to blocking your shots and more, BWL have become the biggest cancer to this game next to helis. and yes helis do the exact same things sometimes to. not to the level of the BWL but it does happen to.
Please don’t
One can only hope this issue doesn’t fall upon deaf ears with the well needed tweaks.Myself, Should I bump or mess up someones shot or position I take the time to at least say “sorry” or “My bad”. That in itself goes a long way showing at the least respect .
Now if we can only find a way to troll those that practice this Tom foolery.
i get this alot to.
id be on a perch or up on a high spot shooting down at enemies from a vantage point and some piece of garbage will come up to me and shove me off the ledge and take the spot for themselves.
or one of the worst things, they run into me and purposfully push / drag me on their build into enemy fire forcing me to take damage and even getting killed.
this crap has gotten ridiculously common now with BWL since they were introduced.
thats not even the worst part though. BOTS are now constantly getting in your way to. id be in an open space shooting an enemy, id go and back up and for some magically f-ed up reason a bot is literally up my bumper not letting me go backwards. hell some bots, ON YOUR OWN TEAM MIND YOU, will literally run into you and not stop, forcing you into a wall and pinning you there or pushing you right into an enemy and forcing your death / you taking a stupid amount of damage.
thats not all, leg bots will literally walk in front of your line of sight and strafe in front of you blocking your shots. some will literally drive in front of you and park their dump truck rears right in front of you blocking you from shooting.
even when i was out where the bots shouldnt be, lo and behold! a bot, out of nowhere, on my team, walks right in front of me and starts strafing and shooting at the enemy…
this is like that robot chicken star wars scene where he says “this deal keeps getting worse all the time!” and darth vader keeps altering the deal. except
players: “this game keeps getting worse all the time!”
targem: you will get these battlepasses for overpowered items that you never asked for and we wont nerf them till we get our money!
players: but we dont want tha–
targem: i have altered the deal, pray i dont alter it any further!
thats what this feels like to me at this point.
i also want to say to that i HATE dino legs and i absolutely hate fighting players using these things. its like trying to fight a frog with brain damage! they just jump around all over the place, its so irritating to deal with these stupid things!
i also have been getting landed on more often by these stupid dino leg users. id be there lining up a shot when out of nowhere some idiot lands directly on top of my build making me either miss, make my build take damage, damaging my own guns, making my guns knock themselves off or getting stuck on me…
also the amount of times i had been aiming a shot with my jotuns only to have some jerk run in front of me and make the shot explode on myself is infuriating. not just that either, landing on top of me and making me take both hits from my jotuns to.
these legs have also made all other legs obsolete, nobody uses old legs anymore.
i am just so sick of this
and the whales / trolls who defend this.
A walker in ice & fire Brawl jumped up at the precise moment to knock my heli out of the air in a spin landing upside down which was at game Ceiling height . Then one in patrol side shifted and pushed me off the landing on Sector x map causing me to land upside down in front of a bot to get insta killed.
I have noticed a good hard ramming to the side will up set a walkers balance and knock them over. Also sliding under neath them from the rear pushing them along . “If there is a will, there is a way” From now on if a walker or any other build griefs me in game, I will grief them back.
well, battle walkers will have always the upper hand against ground builds… regardless of the weapon, the ground build normally hit their strong parts while a BW always hit the soft part but you can knock some down, all depends on weight.
I can’t remember being tossed far away
Once in a while you see one with a weakness that you can explore
There are builds with two ML200.
you don’t need a BW to do that…
I caught this thief near our base, i just pushed him into the acid.
Helis are a mixed bag, but many of them can be shot down with a "AK-47 " while they are equipped with flock ( thousands of coins ).
But many, yes, they are untouchables but then again, it’s exactly the same story as always were ( wedges, bricks, and so on )
Listen, if you are that motivated by BW, why don’t you consider building whatever specially to take down battle walkers?
motivated?? ![]()
i hate the way these things play. they are incredibly awkward to control and the whole bouncing up and down while they walk throws off my aim drastically. i hate the way they turn to. i much prefer tracks or wheels because they are far more stable and dont bounce around like a frog in a bounce house.
I get it, they are not your cup of tea, that’s ok, you don’t like them, you don’t like them…
…but they could be… your cup of tea…if you know what i mean.
You could try.
give it a go.
i DID.
no.
I think you are not understanding me.
I’m not saying to give it a go on legs ( just to be clear ).
I’m saying use whatever in your reach to be a battle walker hunter.
You might find fun there
kind of did when i used my fast trigger build, but now its alot slower. didnt they nerf the growls speed?
Apparently yes, i checked a couples of days ago and the Growl has 98kph top speed from stock but i think you can go faster than that…
There are faster cabs ( if you don’t mind the increase in PS ) but then again weight wouldn’t be a factor, better if you go for stopping power.
My lightest build e.g. had 9 tons, for the class wasn’t bad
Currently i run a version with 12.5 tons and other at 14 tons, 104 kph and 96 kph.
There are a lot of builds like that going around.
I’m not saying get entangled with a build like that, but disengaging from one could be a problem.
BWs can keep up with that.
Either if you want to keep growl or go for other light cab.
That’s your step nº1
