Anatomy of a Lock Keeper

[Critical Errors]

As a RL Vet, can confirm to running in guns blazing. Oh, and my guns were on an Apache, so it was more flying then running... Oh, and the guns were called Hellfire missles. Can we get those in game? Armor wouldn't really be much of a problem anymore....

Well spoken BJ.. and I see I'm not the only one with a bee in my bonnet today

Yes, great post. Bonnets are all the rage today!

I cant even, really? I guess I should not be suprised that Trion once again Shtackos all over the long time players.

You may be right, but I don't think he was speaking more generally. I think he was specifically referring to WM instances:

"We’re releasing an update to the Warmaster instance to address social dynamics inside the event. Feedback from players fell into two broad categories: those that break locks and those that do not."

True, but he does go on to say how each type "views" the game, not just the WM experience. I dunno... I'm bored at work on a Friday, counting the mouse clicks 'til I can go home...

I for one dont like waiting a half hour to start an event. But I'm not going to intentionally f over everyone else either.

Of course we can (heck I would pay bits for an Apache!). However, they will come right after we get a turret gun on the Raptor.

I absolutely agree with that. Rebtattoo also mentions this. I most certainly agree that we should not be waiting for people to finish whatever bit of content they are doing, then go to the Warmaster. Personally speaking, I have not seen a lot of that with my clan. We are either ready then and there, or those who are not wait until the next instance is called down.

I can confirm this.. as an RL Vet myself, you always go in guns blazing.. but oh yeah, my guns where TLAM's, 5" 54cal, and flying volkswagon-sized projectiles that tore up pieces of ground bigger than your average football field (either variety of football.. american or everyone elses).. Now give me a frigging Dreadnaught class BB in the game, and trust me.. I'll set off the coast of SF and lay waste to ANYTHING you can bring out there.. I DARE you to rez even a WM in the open world.. I'll crush it so fast the little guys on the ground will be covered in his dust for a week

Wow.. ok.. now that that little pipe dream is over... *whew*..

In the CQB world.. you don't ever go in guns blazing. You mark your shots.. plan your shot.. adjust for the shot.. take the shot. Spray and pray is what drug dealers, commies, and terrorists do because they don't know how to shoot.

Every WM instance I have been in is 15+ people waiting patiently for the best chance to win and 0-5 lock breakers. Thanks for the game, Trick, but it's obvious that you have no sense of what WM hunters want.

Lock breakers can break the locks on their own if they are in the instance, but now you're breaking the locks even if no lock breakers are in the instance. 9 times out of 10, a lock breaker realizes he's hindering his own experience and will stop once explained. Motion for a vote of no confidence, anyone?

How about make a WM instance tied to whoever drops spikes so they CAN organize and bring in who they want or allow it to be public? I'm sure that's been suggested many times and ignored just as many.
