Is it multing to use XP in free format battles?

[X_Death.By.Me_X 1,503]

Title says it all. Is it multing to use XP in free format battles? IMO, not at all.

[Maf 32,300]

Nothing to discuss here, really.

Hornet Railgun is a normal combination just like any other. It's possible to effectively use any hull with any turret, so no combination can be considered "multing". You can only abuse game rules by the way you use your tank and if you are using a weaker tank than something else in your garage (e.g. me using my mammoth isida M0 in a normal battle instead of any other M3 tank I have)

Are you seriously suggesting that M0 Mammoth Isida is weaker than your M3 Titan Smoky? Remember how many tanks you wrecked in that photoshoot game? Yeah, you were unbeatable.

 

IMO, not at all. (Kind of a silly question.)  :blush:

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Nope. Just extremely annoying when people who use it think it makes them invincible.

Then, everyone else would be multing against you  :lol:

 

No, but I do not like when they join the game in a poly cp

[Duchess 741]

No, not at all. Railgun can be useful sometimes especially with double power.

 

I had used it in Arena CP and of course someone said I was multing, but my weapon worked like a charm and we won the battle.

[lukey0 27,543]

I really don't mind the combo, I just hate the egos that come with it...

yup, I did the same thing once on my LZ account :D

ok... -_- thanks for letting me know :lol:

[Electric_Grenade 24]

Of course not maybe they only have M3 XP and the rest of the stuff in their garage is M0  or maybe they're doing a challenge or something, I was once challenged by a friend to win a 60 minute Poly CP without drugs

I am sorry, if you bring that ugly combo in a Polygan CP or a Noise CTF or any other high fund map you are just pissing off your teammates and making them lose hornet and railgun are so ugly anyways, you should have at least a medium hull...

I have done extremely well in poly CPs and noise CTFs with XP before, even without using drugs, XP is actually one of the more versatile combos around, letting you snipe when necessary and when you have backup then you can use hornets speed to capture a flag more easily than a medium hull could.

No, you are much less useful than a twins+titan, don't try to justify it with one example, you are meant to go to a point not camp its totally useless and someone without railgun would have been much more useful than you, and I was not talking about ctfs!

Titan-Twins is a decent combo. .-.

And yes, I can't see a Hornet holding a point. The reason they don't try is because they can't. Does that make sense?

[Shellfire_tanki 1,820]

In CTF as well an XPer with any amount of skill can simply snipe when necessary or go to the point to help out if need be.

And yes, in some cases a titan twins would be more useful than XP. For example in a poly CP, then yes a titan twins would be much better, but now you yourself are now only using one example, CP in a small-medium map,what happens if it is CP in kungur? Or madness? Or any other large map, then a light hull with a long range turret would be far more useful than a titan twins, because you can get to different points quickly, and shoot enemies(for example a titan twins) before they get anywhere near you.

I wasn't implying that XP is good in all situations, my apologies if I misled you into thinking that, there are plenty of situations that I can think of that XP would not work in, that is the main reason I bought titan and viking, so that I am not completely useless in any situation. It is always good to have a long, short and mid range turret, and a light, heavy and medium hull.

 

EDIT: I just reread my earlier post and, actually I did not use only one example, I tried to explain at least in part how XP could potentially be used in either of the two situations you mentioned. I would also like to point out that no matter what combo you use, there is always a way it can be used effectively, so there is no combo that is used "just to piss off your teammates", because all combos can be used in a way that can help your team.

XP I useful everywhere IMO

Even in the well known poly CP, camping behind the two parallel houses, sniping and maybe even rushing to capture the point is as enjoyable in XP as it is using other combinations

No No No! you do not understand, XP users think they are gods but they can not compete in any high fund maps like Noise ctf or Polygon CP they are simply useless over there, and madness and kunger generate low fund, I was talking about polygon CP do not twist it... Railgun + Hornet is good for bigger maps I guess. But allot of people who use railgun have an inferiority complex and think they are gods in any map.

Would the same apply to BP? If so, I'd like to challenge you to an 8v8 Poly CP 60 minute battle and see who gets a higher score...

I agree with you, but they aren't ENTIRELY useless.

It is very unfortunate that a lot of XPers think like this, but you can't generalise and hate anyone who uses XP just because they use XP, there is always away to be useful, I have come first in non-format poly CPs and noise CTFs, and other high fund games, with XP before, many times. There's no reason to hate anyone who uses a particular combo just because they use that combo. So XPers can definitely compete in high fund battles, and people(at least I hope most people) don't play battles JUST for the crystals, so the size of the fund doesn't matter that much all the time, that's why low fund battles exist at all, they are popular because they're also fun, in a different way.

And as I said before, no one combo is completely useless in anyone battle or mode, at anyrank, yes some are less effective in certain situations, but people use what they think is fun, if it's that important to you that your team doesn't have a tanker with a certain combo, then maybe you could try and rethink the way battles are supposed work, it's supposed to be diverse, if you have certain combos on your team then you simply adjust your strategy slightly to accomodate them, for example if you have a mammoth isida then you can attack more if they defend, and if you have anXPer then you will know you always have some covering fire from mid-field.

You just don't get it do you? I said XP/BP is not good for high fund maps! not a few examples! I am speaking in general..

 

I agree with you, but they aren't ENTIRELY useless.

They are not useless one of the best combo's in the game but they are very arrogant.

 

 

Railgun is very versatile but it's not as good in certain maps like noise ctf or polygon cp I suggest railguns stay away from these, because a firebird hammer smoky twins or even ricochet would be much better, the shooting and hiding does almost nothing to titan mammoths who drug allot and its a pain to teammates, so keep railgun in low fund maps that are much larger, Does not mean I hate all railguns.

I'm not going to continue this argument, as I can see you will not change your mind no matter what I say,so I will not waste time trying to turn you away from your arrogant ways, in factI wouldn't be surprised if you were racist irl,because you seem to intensely hate people based on one thing, like what tank they use, which is exactly the same mindset of someone who hates people because of religion, or skin colour, while knowing nothing about them saying they have certain characteristics, no one group of people can be said to have the same characteristics and mannerisms.

 

Goodbye, this is the last time I will reply to this topic.

[Lankero 595]

If it's just a normal battle then no, it's not multing. But if it's a drug war or otherwise very intense, please do a favour for your team and change to a better combo than XP.

You people act like railgun is your religion or something, can't you handle criticism or railgun is your god or something? is railgun above criticism? only professional turret? and what does not liking a certain turret in the wrong battle have to do with racism, so immature..

     I have said dozens if times, yes there are situations where XP is not appropriate, yes there are situations where I would switch to viking or titan and a different turret without hesitation, but I am 100% against the way you generalise, and say all XPers act like "railgun is their religion", no I'm not saying railgun is perfect, I'm not saying it is, I'm simply saying that maybe you should learn to treat people with respect till you learn otherwise, rather than say they are using a certain combo "just to piss you off" or "because it's their religion". It's definitely not a mindset that will make anyone show you any respect.

     Yes I am a very big fan of XP. I myself use XP in normal battles a lot,  and I do absolutely fine, in fact a lot of the time I do better than heavy hulls, even in noise CTFs, poly CPs, and any number of other battles and modes. no one has ever told me to change or leave because if I need to then I will. Just because XPers use their favourite combo in a lot of battles, doesn't mean it's the only combo they're willing to use. I have never met anyone who ONLY has XP, they always have another good combo they can use if XP doesn't work in the situation they are put in.
