Thread: The BMG Menace

  1. #1

    The BMG Menace

    Finding myself getting angrier and playing less because of the almost universal use of these bloody things at all events. Any plans to reduce the graphical effect in the pipeline? The game is shooter and therefore is reliant on being able to SEE - almost an impossibility these days.

    Ah... the good old days when there would be a dozen players at any given arkfall spamming their Hydras.

    In other words, I doubt they're going to reduce the graphics.
    Instead they'll just nerf all BMGs.

    Yes, I adamantly disagree with the removal of key codes from all emergencies.

    I reserve the right to take personal offense at anyone who disagrees with me, because I find blatant stupidity offensive.

    What I don't get about bmg is I see people at an Arkfall and they just stand in 1 spot nothing attacks them and they just stand and shoot. I don't get it there I am running and shooting like a mad man and there is a player just standing in 1 spot aiming and shooting not moving it like WTF I say to myself.

    There I am running in circles dodging attacks and really fun and there I see that or those player/players standing and shooting. Would help if they ran and shoot but nope just stand in 1 spot and shoot. While there I am shooting and enemies shooting at me. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the challenge and more difficulty to it but like a WTF when there I am getting hit and there is that or those players shooting at the crystal while nothing attacks them but all up on me.

    I do love that they all up on me and not so much them but I know deep down that this is not how an Arkfall is suppose to be played and yet I play it how it is and say to myself ahh

    turning off bloom helps a bit.
    The glow does not seem to have that big an impact on me. Most times I can aim through it.

    They are actually gonna tone down the graphical interference of the BMGs actually, says Trick. Especially the Protector. I actually don't mind the BMGs but it's when that graphic gets stuck on me is when it gets annoying...

    Is there a reason why someone would use one when it's clearly not needed? I've had some run around using it on me when I already have full shields. Not for a moment by mistake mind you, but following me for an entire Arkfall wave.

    The glow of the BMGs are waaay too bright, and more than annoying.

    This isn't a casual forum complaint. I find it so annoying that I refuse to inflict it unnecessarily on others. When I heal for extra keys, I only use a gun with a single stream. I also do everything I can to stay behind the person I'm healing (to interfere as little as possible with their line of fire), and I only pick out injured hunters and heal only precisely as long as necessary. People that run around lazily spamming everyone are idiots.

    I really hope they tone the graphic down soon. At 'night' time, it actually hurts my eyes.

    Where are they standing? I dont play to much anymore so I dont care if everyone knows now...every Arkfall with a destroy the crystal has a weak spot you can melee for around 700 dmg per hit. Are these people holding the heal button and meleeing over and over in the same spot?

    The BMGs do minimal dmg so they don't draw any aggro because other players are doing more damage so nothing attacks them. And some enemies just don't even acknowledge the BMG like Tankers.

    at least on PS3, it can be pretty hard to see who needs healing. You can't see someones health bar unless your crosshairs are directly on them, combined with the crappy latency the game has, it is pretty much impossible to tell who's hurt. It's just easier to spam heal and hope the link gets to someone who is injured.
