[Issue 46] The Ultimate Reporter Showdown: Why BP is Better than XP

[GoldRock 6,165]

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

That's not the first time someone says that to me  :lol:

 

You see, the reason why I'm writing these essays that are hurting Pho's eyes isn't because I think there's something horribly wrong with this article. It's because of some underlying views of yours that contrast with mine, especially the idea that you and I are part of a small intellectual minority that enjoy being challenged, debating issues, deeper contemplation, etc. I used to share this view to some extent, and it's a pretty long story why I no longer do. So yeah, I'd be interested in chatting on Skype to continue our discussion.

 

By the way thanks for not taking anything I said too personally.

Fair enough, would be interested in continuing that discussion with you on Skype yeah - and I was referring to the 'intellectual minority' in more of a relative, general sense than an absolute one, it's not like the remaining majority are un-intellectual, I more meant the tastes of different readers and what they might find enjoyable reads.

Or Fire VS  Isida.

 

- Two of the most dangerous and deadly close range turrets.

XP is way better.Unlocks early.Can withstand more than wasp and can also dodge similar to if not the same like wasp.Wasps easily get flipped by rail,rico and not to forget vulcan lol.Vulcan makes wasp look like a little punk being tossed around like nothing.And hornet is also agile..Ever seen smokey handling those pathetic little creatures like nothing?Smokey makes those wasp look like a joke.It's just so light.And honestly,I only see wasps being used for golds.And sometimes ctf.It sucks in dm/tdm/cp.Only good for golds,parkour and sometimes flag (If it dosen't face it's ultimate demise) by those big bullies possessing double power.I myself can toss those around like ragdolls.Bring it on...  ;)

What kind of debate would you like next? What subject? Serious or slightly more light-hearted?

 I'd recommend you two debate 'bout Titan and Mammoth.Since people really get confused between the two not knowing what to buy.Both seems similar but aren't the same.So a little debate might open people's eye and help them buy the hull they see fit for themselves.Same can be said for hunter and viking.Please do it :D

Nope... I was correct the first time. 

 

Fire vs Freeze as Fire and Freeze are like arch rivels.

[Phoenix-Warbird 1,329]

freeze is weaker than fire, it's like a fact

[TheGoldenTanker 4,951]

freeze is weaker than fire, it's like a fact

It's not "like a fact" it is a fact! 

 

But still, a debate between two reporters on the newspaper about Fire VS Freeze would still be pretty cool in my opinion.

I think this was already very clear. In the heat of a debate, the line between assumptions and presumptions can easily blur - a very human facet of intellect. I'm sure the readers are grateful for the mature decision to lay this to rest.

Could you please repeat that in English  :unsure:

[GoldRock 6,165]

Basically, he was pointing out you made an unfounded assumption rather than a founded presumption (based on likelihood) about what I meant by that reference. In other words, you assumed I meant something different to the actual apparent meaning of my words, to 'back up' the idea that there's some fundamental differences between our views on the matter in order to continue debating for the sake of it, when really it's clear there are none... Very eloquently phrased on his part, he's hit the nail on the head there as to why our debate was becoming unconstructive.

I can write a whole article on why BP is better than XP. But to keep it short, BP is better, and way more funner to use. 

[Rayyan 3,415]

BP. Nah, I really don't know why people say XP. Ok I am an XP player through, but whatever modification of BP still wins. Today I played with BP, and won. Mentioning that BP is great combination for gold boxes (not goldrock xD) , as it is light and rail's impact helps it to climb. But you rather need to be skilled if you are voting for BP. XP is for kids :D.

By the way, BP is fun.

BP is way better than XP - obviously! Nice article.

[bobby-bonga 2,008]

Ok would still prefer XP.....hornets movement, like turning and that matters....its just better to use with rail gun due to its slow rotation speed

[HyperQuantum 362]

Appearance wise, Wasp looks like a jeep from the 1960s.

 

Hornet, on the other hand, looks like something we'll be making in a few decades time.

 

Of course, this is just the looks, but still…

[DragonOfStorms 2,706]

^He said it. Even if BP is better (XP all the way!) Hornet looks way better.

Have your speedy Wasp. I'll keep my stable, armored, and aesthetically pleasing Hornet.

[Bugs.meeny 1,013]

yea that's already an improvement we're planning on, anything else? Like, what vs what, something you guys would read

Main debate at ranks like mine is, Firebird, or Thunder M2? I would really love to see these explained, and I believe it would benefit many readers who are having difficulty choosing. I am personally a Thunder lover, but most people go for Firebird. I see more advantages to Thunder that I try to convey to them, but they don't see my points. Good luck!

Bugs.

[Raredust 454]

I think BP is better. However, I also think XP shouldn't be in any way criticized, because it's classical. Without XP, BP just wouldn't be what it is today.

Edited January 13, 2016 by Raredust

[L.I.I3.3.I2.T.Y 820]

No question!

BP is better anyway.

[zaintahir 458]

Hornet ranks #1 on popular hulls list,wasp isn't even #2,it's #3 while viking is at #2

meaning that more players use hornet = more players love hornet

 

one more thing,the article should be named  "Why wasp is better than hornet" or simply "noob arguments in public chat

 

= XP is better :P

[skuyzy 695]

BP is the best, a pro BP player can NEVER be outplayed by a good XP. Check my profile if you don't believe so.. I have experience with BP.

looks at K/D ratio yeah I see

[I7itI3ull2 45]

XP/BP is the best ._.
