Let's Discuss XP, BP, and XP/BP Battles!

[Xxemo_dinoxX 934]

XP battle are great! One of my clanmates introduced me to it, and I've loved them ever since. Granted, considering I don't have m1 railgun yet, it is really difficult.

A great way to work on aiming and driving skills, but it really annoys me when someone shows up to the battle with ricochet, thunder, or smoky.

Agreed, those weapons have great effect against a Railgun.

20 exp, not less. 

in exchange to that u r giving away a 10sec lead of being a 4 vs 3 or 2 vs 1..this differentiates good vs bad players 

[Sr.I3oSS 2,546]

I obviously don't speak your language

That's english lol.

[Superlative 500]

Informative, gives a glimpse of how the tapestry of views fits in together.

[trombone_ftw 734]

I wish ThunderWasp battles were as popular as these XD

 

I wonder what they would be called...

 

 

I love how the poll only gives two choices; you either LOVE them, or you don't know what they are. XD

Tundra not allowed with Hornet M2, right? Almost every Hornet M2 I see, has Tundra.

[trombone_ftw 734]

^ No. But I think that combo is the most popular in the entire game...

Tundra is not allowed on m2 hornet, maximum protection shall be no more than 20%. Although people use it because most of the times it is 2 shot.

 

Basic List of Protections Allowed in XP Battles

M1 Hornet – Max 30% – Tundra

M1 Wasp – Max 30% – Tundra

M2 Hornet – Max 20% – Savanna (10% is acceptable too)

M2 Wasp – Max 20% – Savanna

M3 Hornet – NO Protection Paint.

M3 Wasp – Max 10% – Forester/Emerald/Corrosion

For Rail M1 it is 3 shots. And since the last pre-balance, Hornet has gained more health so Rail M3 cannot one-shot kill a Hornet M2 with 10% protection. How hard is it to equip or buy Forester. I guess people do it for advantage.

Not many people have that information, so they just use it. It is not really against the rules to use it in an M2/M3 battle, but if they are in an M1 battle they shall have to change or it's simply breaking an XP rule.

[TheLonelyEpic 212]

^Yes Vik is very correct, because I have Tundra and Wasp M1 and that's about a 75% chance of being one-shotted by M3. Prodigi is very acceptable too, see below point.

While lewis handed out the actual set specs I, and every other person I play XP with, has no issues with it. This is mainly because once you have Hornet M2, you can play with M3 Rails. M2 and M3 are two-shots, similar to Wasp M1 using Prodigi. However this is where tanker etiquette - something so many people lack - comes into play. I joined an XP battle, 3v3 Sandbox, from Major to Lt. Colonel. My set combo was already on: Hornet M2/Rail M2/Tundra. We immediately started playing and it was a great game without any noobs. I noticed one of the opposing players spamming the chat a bit, but it was in Russian. Just after this we went into a 1 on 1 situation, and I beat him even though he got the first shot off. That's when I realized he needed three shots to kill me. I hadn't noticed yet because his teammates were both M2. I immediately went and changed my paint to green, and was lucky enough to be able to rejoin the battle. Too many people would not have done this, simply snobbing the "noob" using M1 at Major.

So, Digital would be allowed on M1 Wasp? Because if it is still a two-shot, I don't see why it wouldn't be. Could someone clarify please :)

Here:

 

Basic List of Protections Allowed in XP Battles

M1 Hornet – Max 30% – Tundra

M1 Wasp – Max 35% – Digital

M2 Hornet – Max 20% – Savanna

M2 Wasp – Max 20% – Savanna

M3 Hornet – NO Protection Paint.

M3 Wasp – Max 10% – Forester

[trombone_ftw 734]

I already knew that, I was asking if M1 Wasp is killed by 2 shots with Digital. If it dies by the second one, then why isn't it allowed? If it's killed in 3 shots, I get it. But again, is it killed in 2 shots?

[petronius123 8]

I think XP batlle sucks. Why do I have to use only hornet and rail? Then why TO have a lot of other guns and hulls? One more time XP sucks.

[trombone_ftw 734]

^ That deserves a facepalm.

You have got thousands of battles where you can use every kind of equipment you want.

 

There are in comparison only a few battles like XP 's.

Here a relatively small group of players mutually agreed to only use in this example a Hornet, Rail and an allowed paint.

 

You are like that small child that can choose really everything in the candy shop that he wants and even more than one piece:

but insists on having the same sort of candy that his little brother just by accident happened to get the last one off...

 

Grow up.

Yeah, I just said that buddy. Digital is the only truly recommended paint for Wasp M1. I would say Prodigi is an acceptable choice too, though.

[trombone_ftw 734]

Was a downvote necessary? I saw it in Red, so I thought you meant it wasn't allowed.

Oh yeah buds sorry meant to upvote :rolleyes: Ok next time I will put it in green.

[trombone_ftw 734]

Okz .-.

[Superlative 500]

"Xp battles" are worth anyone's time and resources. In fact, a statistic indicates that more players are pleased with it. With the large-scale release of drugs, the "Xp battles" have become popular.

[trombone_ftw 734]

A statistic? Who would research that?

Also, say goodbye to druggers, as they will be outa this game in two weeks :lol:

2 weeks? Well I hope they implement the individual cooldown of supplies soon, but do you mind telling me where you heard 2 weeks.

[trombone_ftw 734]

On the thread "limited drugs or separate servers",  said that the independent cooldown will be implemented in mid-September, which is in 2 weeks about.
