pearl/ghost capping

They do? They need to devise better strategies, then.
Back in the day when I ninja capped (albeit not "ghost" capping, I was more classy) I would pearl out to a secluded area that I can reach from spawn easily and die on purpose to reset health, then go back and grab it.
Death is a valid means, and it's extremely fast.

 

It's kind of annoying how ninjas can take 3 hits and set on fire at flag and still manages to hugging cap and once we needed only one more cap to win and they need 3 more and they just capped all 3 of them easy.

 

I do attempt to commit suicide when I know I won't make it back (You can no longer /ninja or any other kit with the flag. It will automatically return the flag), but it's usually some randy that picks it up and walks into spawn. Though when a teammate does successfully pick it up and cap it, it's a glorious moment. I can't do it since Brawl lags me out for a couple seconds every time I respawn.

 

find 1 medic
or find 1 engineer
or find 1 friend online to pass off



if you are suicide with flag as ninja don't do it in front of spawn lmao do it off to the side where people dont go

 

1) drop flag, 2) /ninja
or 1) pearl to death
js...

 

Prem capping fine doe tbh
If we haz prem capping what's the point in ghostin?
AgrEE with you, remove ze ghosting

 

maybe if u didnt ruin pyro this wouldnt be a huge problem

 

This was a huge problem before pyros nerf. It was even bigger now that ninjas dont have to worry about instakill. Only ninjas and dwarves are threats to them. Thats it.


This is the main problem to instakills being removed. Ninjas will become more op as they have no fear of being instantly killed by a dwarf/assassin/etc

 

Easy solution to prevent ghost capping:

• have 2+ pyros, a dwarf, and 5+ chemists at the flag with a medic.
• look in tab and once the person who is a know ghost capper disappears, (this indicates that they went invis and are most likely nearby), proceed with the following steps-

1. chemists spam damage and poison pots while running around
2. the pyros spam flint near any entrances and/or by the flag
3. dwarf swings at the flag as fast as he can

• medic is there for emotional support, incase something goes horribly wrong (i.e. the ninja still caps because its broken af)
• note: you may want some ninjas sitting at mid, with archers on standby as well.

I hope this helps you troubled children overcome the major stressors in your life.

 

yes

 

The fact that that is the solution shows how broken itis

 

js i think buffed heavy core def is largely underestimated to take up pyro's old role of an immediate flag post guardian o/

 

mhm maybe

 

If anything is changed, ppl will accuse of classes being nerfed again.

 

Yeh know, I figured since your a mod youd know how hypocritical this community is. honestly though, something needs to be done.

 

Chemist pot makes many things really good at defense (not so much recovery though).
Currently, if I can't Engi my current go-to strat is to go Medic and drag a dedicated buffing Chemist along.
Quite fun.

 

If they do nerf the ender pearl on ninja, they should make it impossible to steal the flag while an ender pearl is in the air. That makes it possible to ninja cap but does not make it possible to insta cap/ghost. In my opinion they are pretty easy to recov as long as they don't switch classes or get a huge amount of support.

 

hoi rene

 

IIRC my concept for pearl nerf back on MCPVP was remove any in-air pearls when the flag is grabbed.
What we got, was this one-pearl setup, so there's that.

 

tbh that'll happen no matter what changes (and those who claim to quit will just come back in three weeks tops). Even if necro is buffed, people will complain about zombies killing low-armored classes and whatever else it will be able to do.
