    They can use their bmg as they wish just like if he does not want bmg users near him he has the same right so think of others who do not wish to be bothered by bmgs

    My dear sir/lady, I have read every single answer in that thread. My point is : Healing with a BMG is useless. The most obvious reason why it's so useless is that, no matter how much you heal, a player caught under a salvo of 5 Elite Troopers shots or targeted by two simultaneous Pink Rains Of Death have 100% chances to crawl on the floor in the next five seconds. And if you don't believe me, just go at Bathhouse Siege and stay on the point located at the south of the siege (where there are large stairs). Do the whole waves 8 and 9 with a BMG. And then we'll talk about the usefulness of healers during Sieges.

    About the "BMG Leechers", I agree, it's a generalization and it's a bad thing... After all, some people are simply to stupid to figure out BMG is completely useless during Sieges

    Believe me, I really don't give a flying eff'. Because I know that at the end of the Siege I'll score more than 20k and I'll be happy to have melt so many Volge's faces. And because no matter how much they have healed, BMG users will still be under 20k.

    Save few exceptions, of course. Generalization is such an ugly thing

So what's your rant for, apart from venting your own anger?
    No, I assume people are just too stupid to figure out that healing during a Siege is useless and counter-productive. But I already said that. And I don't care about KS because, as I also already said previously, I know that, if I join the Siege before its half, I'll score more than 20k, no matter what.

    And LOL @ Being angry for a video game... #firstworldproblems ?

    My rant is just to tell people that they shouldn't use BMG if they want to be sure to go past wave 10 and/or score 20k.

    Oh and :

    I guess you never see me doing a /dance in a middle of a Siege. Because that's what I do now if people insist on healing me after I got 20k. After all, those people desperatly need XP points for their BMG mastery, so why not give 'em some ?
    Too bad, it had such a great potential.

    @Dracian,
    They aren't useless. A lot of people are not using them to actually heal people (but they do now get heal credit at sieges).

    BMGs are used for some specific reasons-it doesn't matter if players end up on the ground, anyway. It's done in order to maximize drops and/or to tag events to get full credit for the event without doing much in it. If it was being done as a public service (some do this), then people would stop spamming them at others who have full health.

    If I use them, it's because I may be working on leveling up the thing but I seek out players that need healing. A BMG can help keep them from getting killed.

    Ok, no need to start that kind of war. BMGs are usable by anyone in the game. Spam use can kill an event for many. The reason it's maybe more talked about related to consoles is likely because consoles seem to be more prone to types of lag that PCs are not.

    And you are free to, but you are self-defeating. The spamming of a BMG causes lag that can affect you or the person(s) you're aiming it at. If your goal is to get as many drops as you can then you want to keep those people in the game and not inhibit their ability to get kills. Spamming it may lag them out-so they can't get kills and you don't get drops. Also, it makes it hard for them to see so Sieges don't last as long as they could and they can't kill as many foes as they might be able to.

    If you burst fire it at people and especially at those that need healing, you extend the length of the siege by keeping more people fighting in it, and you don't blind them so they can kill more foes-more drops for all. And, you are less likely to lag yourself out of the game as well.

    héhé that's why i'm not surprised
    (and the fact that aiming with a controller is like driving a truck on a bicycle way, in my mind)

    Ya know people.. there's this neato thing on your game called "SETTINGS". You can access it via the pie menu, and within it, you can adjust the bloom rate for visuals.. ie how BMG's look ON YOUR SCREEN, and thus not only affect your own sight picture with your gun, but also address a LOT of the lag issues that your seeing. I play on a laptop, and when I moved mine down, my lag damn near vanished, and I no longer see that ghastly blue bmg spam, even when I'm the one using a bmg

    Oh, and if you want to level up your BMG's.. the best place isn't Siege's.. it's Scrapper Arkfalls.. get a Telespanner with +1 Links and a good synergy (I prefer assassin and stalker myself). Scrappers are almost all FULL POINT HITS with the BMG, and crazy easy to get criticals with. Doing a BMG against Volge is sorta like trying to electrocute your neighbors barking dog with a AAA battery.. no matter how hard you push, or where, it's just not going to work.
