Arena Rant

Ok im getting pretty pissed. After the release of the new gara all i see now are air (mainly air raiders) and like always Oukas everywhere (like thats any different Hurr Durr no skill bot that gets you top 10 always). Is this seriously how every arena is going to become or something? This isnt even with Ivis or the other omfg bots yet, but constantly getting coward killed by a changeable helingal and a 1 move wonder bot is pissing me off.

The only Ouka I've seen today was kicked to shit and killed by my Jikun until I got killed by a hopper. Strange that this is happening to you when Lily EVE was released, an artillery bot that everyone else is complaining about. What I think this is amounting to is, instead of it being called "coward killed" I'd probably call it being stuck in a pretty strong lobby or you sucking. Hey, that's just my opinion though, maybe you weren't jumping high enough on your Helingal though when the Oukas were pissing you off, hurr durr.

Oh you have only seen the tip of the iceberg of what is yet to come.

seriously i thought eve would be used most though, but idk what if it is my luck or something but all i have seen is air raiders everywhere and that every bot or something is an air. I can see what you mean about the strong lobby also meh gotta bring a game when i see a flock of airs now (used to be airs? YESSSSS). And Oukas always been a pain in my *** (art user cb no like).

-_- yea i know Ivis' everywhere.

Strange, most of the arena rooms I'm in today actually had a total lack of air which didn't make me very happy. But yes the Oukas are annoying

You misunderstand, he's not using Helingal; he uses ARTs most of the time. And the "coward killing" is best described as a helingal/Air Raider hurr durr'ing you with pulse missiles from *just* its range until you turn around to shoot it, then it high-tails it out of there. Doesn't help when you can't even really aim at the thing because an Ouka is down there stunning your 24 tgh bot on every hit @ about 70 damage a pop.

And he's not exaggerating when he says the rooms are littered with AIRs. I'm in these rooms too, and the ratio is about 1-3-1 (LND-AIR-ART). For every ART/LND in these rooms, there was likely to be 3 AIRs.

Ivis? Ivis is easy mode. She's not even worth mentioning...

If you say vanguard is easy mode ima go freak out now.

Get used to it
Every month new op stuff in gara

I rarely see any other EVEs in a game (apart from myself) I'm not sure if they're all in <5's or whatever but the ones I do see are pretty trash.

By the time she comes out everyone will have experience from dodging all them Oukas!

crap i didnt even think of that since this is the 1st time gara was changed actually. ALRIGHTY THEN, guess what makes this game fun also is just adapting to different play styles anyways so makes alot of sense actually.

well eve was disappointing
can't hit my izuna with her railgun

but that railgun, while fast, has no homing, which means my altitude trolling (A.K.A. manual hopping for AIRs) works XD

its very fast

so a poor land user like me is bound to get hit eventually. which it does and it hurts

though most of the time i rock up behind them and go SURPRISE or to the side cause they are too busy trying to triple lock somebody

dohoho I love rocks.

incoming missiles? jump behind a rock XD

u dont play mainly in b/A rank rooms or rooms without level limit do u

ouka users are very far from over powered and they have to avoid anything that can shoot at them

rolf coptors ok ur joking no right those get chased by me

lily rain eve no problem alone but only a issue in a group of team mates if uhave less range than her

if ur useing maxis go head rape her ^__^

ya dude nonthings over power

edit

be very very very happy some of theese pro players are air users

in a grade A shuffle 2 day some reason most of the pro players decided to use arts Im a art user guess wat a sniper cant snipe snipers I got 3000 cost a game I still did good but as ppl on the forum know I hit and run away like a coward I would hit and get killed before I could move away

be very happy they dont use arts be very happy
I can see the wave of rail gun shots and missles and eve shots still

also baltheon blocked most of my shots 3 of em =|

thats when I really think this game hates me when a stump of a tree smaller than my bots foot stops my missles zookas and rail guns from killing some one why cyber step why did u put useless solids in da fucking game to block stuff -__-

its even worse when a giant art can get stuck on a pebble tryna run away cause that so is how physics works and I die when i shoulda lived cause i got stuck on a pebble

solution -> Bazooka

BOI, that is called strategy

I'm personally Loving the abundance of AIRs nowadays.

Makes my tricked-out Maril March Trill a monster in her own rights

(By Tricked-out, I mean she has no weapons other than her default sub plus a Linear cannon... And enough parts + tunes to hit almost 30 WLK)

Smacking them AIRs outta the skies with every single railgun shot has never been more satisfying than with a target-rich environment like this.

quick, everyone buy victory 1's and put 4x blast zookas on them.

HE can speak normally!!!! Well, that's what I usually do, using the terrain to dodge missiles or at least when flying, estimate when a maxis is about to fire and stop my flying thrust, fall a bit and misses the shot completely. D:

lol manual hopping while flying
I do that a lot as well, especially when that eve thinks that she can get a triple-locked eveshot at my izuna.

to the OP:

Yes, Ouka will rape you if you're an ART. If you're alone. On level ground. Letting her run right up to you.

Now, what's wrong with that equation?

You're an ART. You're supposed to be supporting and covering your team mates, and be somewhere where they can return the favor ideally. If you're caught alone, using rough terrain can save you or at least delay you dieing long enough for help to save you. Even just one other ART can save you, getting shot in the back hurts quite a bit even with blast guard.

As for AIRs cherry picking, uh, that's what they're supposed to do--not loiter around and let you unload on them.

Wish it was that simple, but even if you are with your teammates it seems that any LND can just go all hurr durr get 3 kills then dies. And that is if your teammates are smart and actually try to help you. Most of the time I'm with teammates and get LND rushed so I do what most people do when they see a LND; fly up and on higher ground if available, but most of the time my teammates ignore the LND rush and go for some other random thing far away while the large heavy arts in the back get destroyed.

Yea know that is practically their job, but going against a team that has 80% of air and when the team your on is diverse it gets just a bit annoying to say the least.

Well, can't do much about team derpage, except hope they learn I guess. :[
