my gatekeeper is different?

    You set yourself up, don;t get mad.

    The Gatekeeper isn't a lasher though. The Gatekeeper also can't resupply from engineer packs, the gatekeeper costs 450-250 resources, and suffers from a lack of mobility.

    I wouldn't say the Harasser suffers from a lack of mobility...

    It is horrendous against infantry. If you dont get direct hits, you may as well not be shooting at them.

    The reason is because VS is so intent on getting the GK nerfed that they have resorted to drawing links with it to the PPA. Notwithstanding the fact that it is a f***ing stupid idea to conpare a AV weapon to an AI weapon in terms of infantry killing potential, they are ignorant to the fact that the GK has close to zero infantry capabilities because of its high degree of specialisation toward long range AV combat.

    And before someone says the GK's infantry killijg power is too good, may I remind you that direct hits can kill ANYTHING in this game...?

    Do you need to lie to try to prove your point? The Harasser is 150 resources, you can drive easily to any ammo tower, Sunderer, or Galaxies now to resupply, the Prowler is the fastest MBT in the game short of Magrider's limited turbos.

    My bad, I don't drive a harasser often so I wouldnt know it's exact cost.

    Yes, which is in another neighboring base, and requires people to pull Sunderers or Galaxies with ammo. Which happens less than you might think.

    Yes, because 10MPH quicker is a noticeable difference, and suffers from slippery hill syndrome. Meanwhile the swagrider glides right over everything and isn't stopped by a short hill.

    Well shouldn't Vehicle weapons be able to fight back against out of render distance infantry AV to some extent?

    I suppose it's arguable, but if only one of them can, then it's still a balance problem. Theoretically, the Gatekeeper could be balanced by buffing the Enforcer and Saron against infantry at range, if you could get the community to swallow that.
  9. Scr1nRusher


    Considering how the Enforcer & Saron are both Long range AV, they should be better at being long range AV velocity/drop wise.

    As an Infil, I was taken out by a Gatekeeper firing from the Crown... I was at TI Alloys, in the tree close to the Spawn room. After the first shot hit, I ran, it killed me before I managed to get off the branch.

    Did you cloak?

    Also that account just sounds like a bigfoot story or a Big fish story.
  13. Scr1nRusher



    Mordor you say?
  14. Collin

    Yes as a max!

    I sure can´t sleep now. Lets find some salt....

    Sounds to me like you got client sided. The widest tree branch in the game I've ever perched on would take a fraction of a second to jump off.
    I've been killed by 2 body shots from an smg before. At least that's what I saw and felt on my screen. Doesn't mean the smg had bolt action damage though.
    Also, I guarantee that plenty of people have been shot out of trees by sarons and enforcers also.

    The Gatekeeper is usable against infantry, but it's definitely worse than the Halberd at close range. At longer range, the Gatekeeper is pretty awful against infantry, although it still isn't terrible against MAX suits.

    Cloaked and made it 3 steps down the branch. :p

    And little I say is a big foot story... just watch my Live Stream, some pretty unbelievable things happen in every game session! I really should archive everything for reference...

    If the Gatekeeper is overpowered against infantry so are...

    Bolt Action sniper rifles
    ALL mbt main guns
    Zephyr
    Dalton
    Bulldogs
    C4

    The list goes on
