A message to Isidas... (Rant)

[The-Operator219 1,929]

STOP SUPPORTING THE CAMPERS!

I'm serious, this is old.

I understand the Vulcan is the one fending off entire swarms of enemies, but there are more important people who need support.

Now, I WAS just defending with my Vulcan like usual, until three other Vulcans joined and did my job for me...

Alright, I start attacking and helping with the effort.

"operator u suck"... This Isida, who was doing nothing but support the three other Vulcans while I took all the punishment, said that I suck.

So I said: "It's funny, an Isida who sits there doing jack squat complains about a supporter who attacks 'sucks'."

"Maybe if you'd support the actual effort, I'd see you as more than a cheap punk.".

Then all hell broke loose because "I was being mean to the Vulcans' precious Isida".

I had already taken and captured a flag while the Isida who said that was busy kissing the other Vulcan's butts and making sure they were never damaged. In other words, making no difference in the battle.

Now my message to Isidas will be a bit mean, but this is ridiculous.

 

 

1. Make effort to do something for the team.

The first part is simple; Don't focus on ONE camper when the ENTIRE team is busy attacking.

Now, this might surprise you, but OTHER PEOPLE are on the team. With the exception of the lower ranks, usually there's three or four people actually doing something while the others sit around doing jack squat.

 

 

2. Stop supporting Vulcans exclusively.

I'm tired of this, just because I'm doing the most damage to incoming attackers doesn't mean I'm your priority.

People always complain about this at the higher ranks, that a DA'ed Mammoth-Vulcan with two Isidas can dominate a match.

I know firsthand that JUST DA will only get you so far, you need to have good awareness and an Isida IF you want to attack. But DA alone can make you an excellent defense.

 

3. Never call people a "noob" when they take a Speed Boost.

We're going to actually use it, so what does it matter? If you take a Speed Boost what are you actually going to accomplish? Sure you'll move faster, but the whole point of an Isida is support and healing.

You can do without it.

 

I hate to rant on such a trivial thing, but this was just too ridiculous to NOT rant about.

You get more xp if you go with the attacker cause you get to heal him a lot+ you can get few kills for sure )) I've being a isida few ranks back and sometimes (very rarely tho) i get my m1 isida just to support the attacker since i just see all other isidas have eyes growing from wrong place.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Right I use isida sometimes (its about M1.5 right now) and I don't just sit healing one person (unless he is completely reking the other team in a tdm that is my only exception) I will run around the map healing everyone I see that is damaged (but I will rage when I'm low on health and someone who has full health takes a repair kit then they will not be healed ever)

[The-Operator219 1,929]

What's funny is, I'm the camper in this case, and I step down from my high horse to make an actual difference...

But noooo, that's apparently something to be taunted for.

[trombone_ftw 734]

It is more fun to attack people than heal anyways lol

[dilsharox 2,395]

Isida users can earn more xp through that way some players don't realize that fact

The disrespect people are giving each other is growing....

The internet provides the anonymity to do whatever you want.

I could be a stuck-up jerk, but I choose to be a civilized human being and show the best side of what a player can be.

LOL I hate pocket isidas

[MandolinMarc 874]

You've got a very good point. Truth be told, you can't expect too much strong team-play in mid-rank random matches. If this is what you're into, you'll find XP/BP a lot more suitable (though far from perfect). If you're after highly tactical gameplay in any other battle format (Hardstyle/Drug War or Light Format), you'll need to be in a clan.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Hm, I've tried the whole "clan" thing, but I don't have a lot of time to play and I usually use the weekends to play Metroid Prime when my sisters won't be there to hog the Wii.

Vulcans are the best way to get easy XP.

I understand where you are coming from. But don't let that bother you.

Lol in Brest ive seen the worst isida nightmares. All isidas were healing specific campers, calling them their "masters". They had so many rules and wouldnt stop chatting and making more rules that we kept losing flags. "If you are on your side and someone helps you up, then he is your master" and stuff like that. and there were like 6 of them all doing it. I was trying to get the flag so i didnt have a pet isida so the next round I got mad and switched teams with my rail and could 1 shot all of their wasps.

[newrohan 1,040]

IKR! There are some of these isidas who are like tails of shafts and vulcans and thunders. I drug to the fullest just to keep killing them till their D/L ratio becomes too low or till they leave.  :rolleyes:

So I'm not a scavenger for picking off opposing Isidas with a Shaft?

[newrohan 1,040]

Why would you be a scavenger for that?

[Benefactor 6,888]

Why would you be a scavenger for that?

I dunno. Somewhere it was ingrained in me that because of Shaft's firepower I had to go after the "most important" targets - like the flag carrier, opposing Shafts with large hulls and railguns only.

[Eragon 13,876]

That's why there should be more than one isdia  ;)

[newrohan 1,040]

IKR!The team which has 2 drugging isidas healing each other and others is the team no - one can stop from victory.
