but...imop,talking from toolsheder point of view,Pacerr is the best, most eficient agressive base defender for knights,
This guy busted 1000s,of attacks and missions,killing the C47,M3 or the last floating trooper over town,in last moment, he knows the maps,and the tactic side of the game
i think you take this "enemy " in cyberspace cartoon game too serious , and forget to appreciate great adversaries that make the game more chalenging and fun
Ghi -
I was only making an example of styles of gameplay that I've seen, and the most prominent players who seem to employ them. All in the spirit of the conversation of this thread.
Also, in spite of this being just a "game", which none of us should take too seriously, remember that there are real personalities, egos and people behind and animating those cartoon airplanes. And they socially interact just as effectively, impart their personality, and impact others experience just as significantly as in reality. The only important difference between the real world and this 'virtual' game is, we can't reach over and smack them if they disrespect, insult or annoy someone.
Finally, I think you missed one very important point I previously made which is, everyone's perception is different due to the personal experience with said individual, whomever that might be. I used Paccer only as a commonly accepted (based on consensus of opinions from the community I hear) practitioner of the negative gameplay I described. My purpose was not to trash him, per se.
You've been in the game longer than me and maybe have had more contact with Paccer than I have, and it seems, had better experiences. I state only what I've seen (as objectively as possible) in my 2 years and it is the result of "my" experience with him. This includes playing with him on his side from time to time, and purposely watching what he does and how he does it.
As an opponent, I have seen him give spirited base defence - twice that I can remember, so he is capable. But, it's more an extreme exception than a rule, IN MY EXPERIENCE. You have seen a totally different side, and I'm not going to say you're wrong, just that he has not show the same side to me, or others.
Also, while not conclusive of course (merely indicitive), I have never heard anyone else voice your perception of Paccer while in the game, but have heard dozens who believe to some degree in mine. This is purely anecdotal evidence, but for my money, where there is significant smoke, there is likely to be some fire, and from what I've heard (whether right or wrong)this seems to be the prevailing reputation of Paccer as far as his gameplay is concerned.
He's skilled and deadly in his uber rides, and is probably a wonderful guy. For my taste and in my experience, he more often goes to the other extreme in gameplay, which I don't respect much. He just has his priorities screwed up, based on MY value system, all of which is really only important to me.
