Let's Discuss Shaft!

[M1-A2 840]

Yes I agree that both Thunder Rico are a part of dynamic gameplay. But using rail requires even more accuracy ( the angle of Auto aim is lower than both Thunder and rico) + more coordination ( Because of the large time span of around 6 secs between each shot) + It gives out an even more exhilarating gameplay. Maybe those are some of the reasons why railgun was chosen for Starladder.

I would say Rico requires more coordination and accuracy, especially when bouncing the plasma balls around corners to hit a potentially unseen target.

Don't forget pro firebirders and freezes. Close range turrets have highest dps ingame

I like wasp-fire/freezes, i just pull back with my hunter before they reach me and hunt them with arcade xD

 

for  isidas, if they reach me,I've gotta use a charge cause arcade doesnt do anything there,

 

anyways, any one one a hornet or wasp is a meal for my shaft xD    other hulls usually 1 full and arcade

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

actually,after testing the laser,

 

people arent yet used to lasers,   I killed people like before, without them running away like crazy's

knowing they're gonna die

 

dont know they know that they are dead and not run

or

Im a good scoper to hit them while running xD

 

either ways, shaft without sway is good, no more missing on just 1 pixel because of the sway :wub:

yeah,those ones :P

 

I prefer hunter to other things, hunter being a medium,

 

i can camp if i want or go in the heart of the enemy without changing xD

lol, nope,

i

 m either full out camper titan, or wasp/shaft running around annoying people  :ph34r:

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

I use Shaft with Hunter now. It's mobile, but has a lot of health. If I use Dirty paint, I have more health than a Dictator against Shafts.

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

yeah  ;D

do this :p

 

and copy it in the field :p

lol, i m too lazy, too much work

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

yeah,thats why you ay a camper xD

[DonutsForLife 292]

yeah,thats why you ay a camper xD

How dare you accuse me of being a camper!

 

wasp shafts dont camp :P

 

anyway, i have given up shaft, at least until they change this horrible laser update....

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

it aaint so bad YET, people dont run yet :p

[wild001 786]

even as a hornet user,

 

the time to hide and run is not that much, the moment I see the lazer, i got shot already.

 

I only hide or run when the lazer moving torward me from somewhere else.

Lucky me that I didn't bought Shaft at the 50% sale on Thunder and Shaft (I have it at M1). I'm not a camper player. And, with the laser scope, I don't want to use Shaft, in the near future.

[Amagi 1,728]

Shaft is still pretty much the same for me. I think the lazer scope is a good way to let your victim know that he/she is gonna die >:3

Got Viking M3. It's a camper hull for Shaft.

[kayitsiz 621]

This new shaft is very hard! I won my important matches but i had to think too much. Now, i have a headache  :lol:

[I.WalkAlone 548]

I'm fine with the new update. The only thing I'm annoyed about is that the shot color of my m2 shaft is that of m1 shaft. I hope they fix that soon.

in my opinion,

wasp-hornet are hit and run with shaft

hunter-viking are both hit and run and camp

I dont even know what is Dictator,

Titan and Mammy for camping :p

[r_Just_T0 11]

I have to say that I do not like this update

this update took the fun from shaft

just like every weapon......shaft had its own special things......its own techniques

now its not unique anymore......its like railgun except worse

shaft had its ups..........and it has its downs

most of the ups are now taken away from shaft.......hiding......able to shoot someone without him knowing where you are or knowing that you were going to shoot at him

tanki took too many ups and only one down......and that is the shaking in sniping mode

still so many downs left......

trying to kill a hornet or wasp in sniping mode when they are right next to you and going around you with a freeze or firebird

it is almost impossible to kill a ricochet up close in sniping mode when he is shooting you.....due to how powerful his shots are to take your aim off target

tanki didn't take these downs to shaft away they took most of the good away

[r_Koobi0 31]

I tried the new shaft and I didn't mind it at all today. I actually liked it better without the wobble.

 

It's a matter of positioning yourself properly. If you are close to an opponent or if they have a lot of space to move about, then it's going to be harder so just choose spots where the opponent doesn't have much space to move around and they will eventually be forced to come in the line of fire of your shaft.

 

 

 

I did notice another change...one that I really hate...

In order to play fast, if I come out of hiding from a spot, I will hit the space bar just before my shaft comes into view so that as I'm skidding into position, the shaft begins aiming. It usually takes a few milliseconds for the shaft to go into scope mode.

Now when I do that, the shaft immediately goes into scope mode which kinda sucks because now I have to get into position and then hit space bar which basically takes about a second off my time...a small number but it makes a big different when everyone's aiming everything at you!

[Loackie 269]

@ Just_T: That's just ridiculous. (warning, text wall of china)

Yeah, Shaft's a sniper. it comes with its scope. owait scopes aren't special. I will do my own technique with it. Sitting-Mammoth Combat Style!

Shaft is like so bland it ONLY has two firing modes and ONLY has near unlimited range. I thought Railguns were midfielders and Shaft was a support turret. NAH change it so it's an every range turret. Shaft ONLY OHKO's Hornets and Wasps. The only "down" Shaft ever had was being solitary while sniping and having a limited view while sniping. owait real life. "Hiding" is gone. LOL I learned how to hide at 3 yrs old. Owait that's supposed to be practiced when using any other turret...."Best" Quote ever: "able to shoot someone without him knowing where you are" but srsly pff I have to laugh.  If you get shot once and pay attention where the explosion was, you can alert others/look out for it next time. They practiced that in trench warfare (with a dummy head), and in other types of war I bet. "Shaking in sniping mode" You should be grateful that exists they don't have that on most crappy sniping games. "going around you with a freeze or a firebird" LOL if you can't snipe or if your defense is that bad, why would they be up close to you? "take your aim off target" EVERYONE would do that even you. Don't even say that's a con. Shaft WAS OP now admit it, only real tactical snipers or tanks (not the machinery, the role in stuff like RPGs) can stand a chance. That was the whole intention of Shaft, and your post clearly doesn't see that. (lots of sarcasm here btw)
