The first two tournaments were actually fun. These rules are just getting ridiculous now.
I'm not sure I understand the need to put a ban on Cloaking and Clickable consoles. You say you're not concerned about decloak alpha's so why ban? As far as I know, there are only a couple fleets out there that use Vapers and really only one of them that does it successfully. And you're right, they can be defended against. Just spam a keybind that targets the Vaper by name. So, you just keep spamming it and when they decloak you lock on and nuke their alpha off.
Anyway, good luck to all the participants. It's good to see this many teams participating. I just wonder if these tournaments are doing more harm than good. I forsee the winning team consisting of two bugs and three wells running a lot of warp plasma. That's not boring at all...:rolleyes:
Its not like i recall that many kdf premades using bops to begin with. Still the rules seem heavily feddie biased.
good luck with the tourny, yet another testament to how much cryptic fails to balance its TRIBBLE, way beyond the point were simple player agreements can fix things.
Just for your information, all ships can equip the debuff, so the rule you mentioned won't help.
A big reason why it is so hated is because it can cause very bad UI lag and desync issues for some people. There's a thread somewhere around here for that. I personally get quite a bit of lag whenever it's used, so I have a distaste for it as well.
Thank you! I've been trying to get an answer on this for a long time. I forgot that other ships got the AoE debuff from using it, got the self buff and AoE debuff confused in my head. Well, since I know that it causes lag, I think I'm gonna drop if from my ship. I have no problem using abilities that may seem overpowered to some as long as they work strictly via game mechanics, but something that causes an actual problem code-wise is not good IMO.
My guess is "hope" keeps people not playing but posting on the forums. For others, its a path of sad realization and closure. Grieving takes time. The worst "haters" here love the game, or did at some point.
It is obvious Bieber replied post #8 trying to enter tournament, and somehow a 16 team tournament is full before the 8th responder. If you want to exclude the Pandas because you cant beat them than just say no Pandas up front. Your tournament and your rules, which no Panda complained about. So be it. Run your tournament and the Panda's will play the winner
You are right, i ve seen the exact same thing happen.
Anyway could someone pm me the posts of pascal i wanna have a good laugh tonight haha
Romulan ships have way more advantages than their cloak alone. They still have devastating spike potential and they have their singularity abilities. If you rely on cloaked alpha strikes you have to change your tactics, that is true. But I believe, most PVP'ers should be able to so. If not, sit this one out then.
You neglect to mention that romulan ships have a severe system power penalty that is mitigated by their ability to battlecloak, as well as their increased critical chance and modest gimmick abilities afforded to them by the singularity power tray. Take away their cloak, and that power deficit becomes a major issue.
Dont try to flip this 'most pvpers should be able to adapt, if not, sit out' coin - Thats crass and ignorant. Romulan ships are garbage without the cloak next to kdf/fed ships in their same class, you know its true.
The Whole "No BS" term was coined up to mitigate these types of issues so all could participate without alienating anyone.
So "No BS" doesn't really fit sadly
