Gaming the game at a whole new level
« on: January 27, 2012, 08:38:41 AM »
The new version has introduced the Storch.  I was just in MW working in the bish trying to take a Port.  Hanger was down, tiger and wirb were up.  We killed both the tiger and Wirb.  I made another pass on the field to check guns and saw a chute on the ground.  I couldnt figure out where it came from.  After getting really pist and yelling at my computer i did some checking and even with all hangers down at a vbase or port a storch can still be upped.  You can then bail from the storch while it is still on the ground and run to the maproom to shoot troops.  Not sure if anyone in LW has tried this yet but MW is rampant with players gaming the game.  Simjoke has taken it to a whole new level.  HTC needs to do something about this ASAP.  Whats to stop and entire country from upping 40 storches at ports and vbases over and over again to shoot troops.  Good luck killing all the little gamers on the ground.

upping 40 storches and bailing to run to the map room doesnt sound like a PS3 video game to you?  I mean if this is what the game is turning into and where HTC wants it to go then so be it, its their game and money but will be interesting to see how many stick around.

I replied to the other thread posted on this topic...
 

... but in short, this is why the Storch should be tied to the vehicle hanger.  No VH, no storch.  Every base as a VH, not every base has a FH.

Idk why are you this upset, Grumpy.
Positive thinking, sir... you can get 40 kills in a goon in no time  :aok

btw SmokinLoon got it. Sounds like a bug needs to be fixed.
Still, please post that film  ;)

I was able to up a storch while hanger was down at a port in LW and thought it to be odd i was able to do it. I didn't try to bail on the ground but i could see that happening as you describe. Without sounding like a back seat moderator the OP should be in the bug forum.

Ive already sent all the films to HTC for their review, no need to post it here.  He is talking about a claim i made the he hoed me yet again.  That is not my issue, he can be a little hoe tard all he wants, this is a bigger issue that needs to be addressed.

Wasnt sure if it was  bug or not and to be honest i wanted to put front and center for as many to see just how gamey this has become.  Not that it will make a difference because it never seems to but at least i will know i tried.

If HTC laughs at me pointing out how players are exploiting their game and dont chose to do anything about it then this game has taken a bigger dump then ever imagined. As far as your desperate hoe to save your base, good for you!  Kudos! Congrats!  I was already pist at the gamy moves by your other countrymen and mouthed off when ive been trying to stop it myself.  I could go on and on about how i feel about that style of play but it makes no difference nor is it the point i was trying to make with this thread. I will not be baited by you.
