    Hey guys,
    it's Onik here again and I want to talk with you seriosly about the donator guns.
    In the last few months I encountered many donor guns on MC-War, but since June the amount of these guns in one game got realy huge. Because of this I was just one click away of quitting MC-War untill gun balancing or MC-War 2.0. I had already written an outro, but didn't post it and instead I wrote this.
    So this thread is not about insulting anyone who is using these guns and it's not about removing or balancing them, because this won't happen either for the next month or two. This thread is more about why we shouldn't use them anymore and why the 100+ are realy important in this problem.

    To sum up my experience with the donor guns:
    I got all the donor guns from the prize of winning the trickshot contest and getting second place in the creative contest.
    • I tripple nuked in my first round with the mini. (first tripple nuke ever)
    • I went 20-0 in ffa over 5 times. (first 20-0)
    • I leveled up from lvl 60 to 64 in one week.
    • I went 100+ on infect with the railgun. (first 100+)
    • I got my kdr back from 2.3 (because of the trickshot contest) to 2.5
    • I made over 10 players rage in one game, because I was spamming the C-Bow on plaza.
    • In the last two weeks every second of my deaths was caused by a donor gun.
    • I am not using them anymore.
    And now you ask: Why didn't you post all these "epic achievements"?
    And I answer:
    Because it took me NO skill to achieve them. I was just sitting back in my chair and aiming with the mouse: Every infect game, every ffa, every ctf that I player with the donor guns. It took me exactly 1 match with a donor gun to understand that it is in fact overpowered. And then I looked on the forums and saw the threads showing exactly my "epic achievements". (I facepalmed me so hard after seeing them.)

    And now you ask: What's your problem then?
    And I answer:
    The problem is that some people don't understand that getting 100+ with mini isn't a big achievement, because the gun is so overpowered. This ends up in hundrets of forum threads braging with their stats/achievements/wins. As @Lord_Roke already mentioned in this forum thread, you don't need to spam the forums with every 10k kills you get, most of them achieved with donor guns.

    And now you ask: But what about the 100+ people you mentioned earlier?
    And I answer:
    The 100+ people are the veterans and most of them are playing on MC-War since 2012! They represent MC-War and are respected by the community and the newcomers. They act as a role model like Joey did. But then I see them playing with the C-Bow and Superarmor on Plaza_ctf. (Btw quick reminder: CTF = Capture the Flag and not Get the tripple nuke.)
    This results in newcomers thinking: "Ohh, I want to be like them! I want to nuke too! But they only nuke with the C-Bow. I don't have it. Should I get it? Well, $5 is a bit of money, but I help the server and I can finally nuke! Yay!" One hour later we have 2 people spamming the C-Bow on plaza.
    I don't even want to talk about infect with the raygun and the minigun in FFA. They are just gamebreaking. The new players don't even have a chance to get the real MC-War experience like 1 year ago (without raygun and c-bow).

    It's a shame that 60+ and 100+ players are using these guns. I am not going to use them anymore untill they get nerfed.
    Now I am talking to every 60+ and 100+ player: Not me nor the community will give you any further respect for using them! Be a role model and show the players that you can nuke even with a USP @tdaddy14 or win infect with the moddel or dominate FFA with the Famas! If you stop using it, everyone else will do so. And props to everyone else who is doing so already.

    - Your Onik

    Thanks for reading! And please post constructive comments with your opinion. But please don't post your opinion on how overpowered/underpowered they are, we already know them.
    Keep in mind that any hatefull comments will NOT be tolerated on this thread and will be immediately reported to staff.


    Here is a small expample of how op the Minigun in FFA is:

    I really liked the old days better. At least, there were less donors.

    You are right Credo...

    I think that's not okay. Every player wants to be respected. Also Donators.

    there are so many of these types of threads... the sad thing is that they are ALL true :V
    the defenition of going ham: spamming mini/cbow/skull/dissa whilst you camp with superarmor at the same spot with other people who 'try to go ham'... i swear to god... one more 'going ham' video and i'l try and make a vid of me double nuking using a weak gun (spas12 *cough cough*)

    what i try to do... is just limit using op guns.. sure a raygun every few infs is fine.. but i try to use other guns... typhoid, skull, moddel, iso etc... also about the 100+ people being important n such, i try to be more helpful then 'skilled' . this way the new community can see that being helpful and friendly is more important then actually nuking...

    also about the rolemodel thing.. i saw a lvl 24 person with mvp and superarmor every match spamming the cbow/mini every round... everytime he got killed he raged like...
    i cannot even describe what the community is turning into... it just frustrates me...

    I mean the 60+ and 100+ players. They used the weapons enough to understand their problem.

    Some players, as you have mentioned, use the donor weapons to quickly get their stats up or easily complete achievements (triple+ nuke as an example), but I do not. I use the donor weapons because they are different. I use them for the fun of it, not for the stats. They add variety to the game for me. If I am using the mini gun however, I will not consider myself to be "incredibly skilled" if I nuke in 40 seconds of a match. A lot of people can do that with this weapon if they really try.
    Some people like to use the donor weapons to boost stats, however. It is their personal choice to do that. I respect them for their decision, even if I do not think highly of it. I might completely disagree with what they think, but I have no right to tell them wrong. This is how I feel on the matter, at least, and it is my opinion. That is why you never see me say "*gun* noob" ever as well.
    One more point. Even if we use the lower tiered weapons and do extremely well with them, that does not mean a whole bunch of people will join us. Even if some of the best players in war all use the l118a or a weapon like that, it will not mean that all the 60+ players will too. It might influence them slightly (or more), but it might not win them over completely.
    That is how I feel however, and it is MY personal opinion.

    As Tim said above, McWar 2.0 is supposedly coming out in like 2 weeks. I don't know if this is true, because they leaked out that McWar 2.0 was coming out before Christmas, on New years, in January, now this time. But I'm betting that it's coming.

    Anyways, I have to agree with you on this. The minigun is a bit pay to win right now if you have scavenger with it. Same with the ray gun with scav on infect.

    I understand your Point, but what I am trying to achieve is to stop "the Advertising by the 100+" for the donor guns. If someone decides to buy a donor gun on this own will, I can 't stop him to do so.

    Yeah, it's true that we always need to complain about something, because nothing is perfect. But this time we are coplaining about something that wasn't a problem 6 months ago and now it's reaching ist peak.

    I agree with the mini part only. In my opinion ray and cbow are fine, especially cbow which i find the easiest gun to dodge. Ray maybe a 1 hit kill in infect but in tdm and other gamemodes it takes several shots to kill one person. Mini, however, is really over powered. I think it should be nerfed...

    This man speaks the truth
    I have worked so hard trying to get to 100+ without donor guns, and now I don't feel good about it because everyone has it because of the crossbow and other op donor guns.

    1. The crossbow basicly breaks every map, as you can't just shoot over people, kill afks, and take out huge crowds easily.

    2. The ray is extremely op. Think of the law but with super speed on infect. If you have ever tried to kill people on an infect match when some doosh has the ray it isn't fair as you can't do anything

    3. The mini gun is op because of the no recoil bug, it was mainly designed to spray a corner down with no mobility.
    I think it would be like this if they fixed recoil.

    I agree that the mini gun is op. However if they nerfed crossbow and ray because it was "too op" then it wouldn't be bought as much as it is being bought right now. Tons of people are buying ray and crossbow which is getting the server money. We also have to think of it financially for the server not just about it in game. Lets say i don't have any donor guns and want to buy ray. If its how it is i would love to buy it because its a good gun, but if it was nerfed i wouldn't buy it because it then wouldn't be worth what it costs. Bringing the cost down isn't an option because more money is preferred over less. So if its not worth what it costs then no one is going to buy it. I hope you kind off understand what i mean and i hope i explained myself fully.

    I agree with onik completely. Donor guns are way to OP and literally break the game. For new players, it's a way to level up real quick because u pay $5 and u can mop up on ffa and get a level or two compared to about 5-7 kills per match. This limits their MC-War experience and it ruins the feeling of accomplishment of getting prestige when u bought the minigun to get more kills faster. And for level 60+ and 100+ players, must you use a donor gun on tdm and ctf? You should have the skill to use any gun well enough to not have to pay to win at this level. For example: I'm only able to get 9-13 kills on ffa with the lem cuz there's some high level idiot running around with the minigun and scavenger and wins in 45 seconds. I'm not even going to dwell on the topic of infect, because we all know how it goes down: He with the ray/mini + scav while out of the map always wins. I am really dissapointed in people who only use donor guns because they have them. I know people who've won ffa with the l118a and still use the mini on tdm and ruins it for everyone. The flame and LAW aren't too much of a problem, cuz the law got nerfed hard. The flame though is now really annoying since it got buffed to shoot firecharges instead of low-range snowballs. The cbow, on the other hand, is WAY too op. Sure, it takes some of skill to use, but it's the only gun that you can use to shoot over walls and kill someone behind it. Plus, if you shoot someone with it and don't kill someone, they have 3 seconds to live. I really want people to do what onik asks. Don't give me hate about this, cuz it's true and you know it.

    The server is getting lots of money, yes. But the hole experience is getting ruined aswell. And the server will have to find other ways to get money soon anyways because of the EULA.

    I only use scavenger(its the only donor item ive got) so I cant really turn it off.

    You're right the server will need to find other ways to get money, i have nothing to reply with to that. Also, we are talking about ray gun, cbow and minigun not scav...

    Yepp, got the same problem. This is why I use juggernog every game now, so I have even a chance to see the guy who killed me with the mini.

    The perks are in some sort pay2win/pay2play but they aren't as much gamebreaking as the donor guns. I heard some rumors about huge servers *cough* hypixel *cough* doing realy well with "Network Booster". Someone buys such a server wide booster and everyone will get double xp for one hour, but at the same time the players could thank the player in some sort of way.
    I hope the donor guns will get removed from the store or completly because of the EULA. Maybe new gun camos instead?
