So i got on ps2 last night and everyone's got this new fireworks gun and i cant get one.I love flashy guns in ps2 the lighting on the game is so good.I put a lot of time and money into this game and just because i didn't play last weekend i miss out on this new weapon.I really don't like the idea of limited time guns and i cant see any reason for doing it if they sold the gun again SOE makes more money and they keep the customers happy.
You didn't miss anything. That gun takes AWAY from the tactical game SOE says they want and totally shows it's really $$$ that they want NOT a good game.
I trialed the flare gun, spammed it for 15 mins, went 'meh' and was done with it. Glad I didnt pay a red cent for it. OP, dont forget to trial it. More than likely 15 mins using it willl be more than enough.
I HATE FUN. That's all I'm hearing. Without firework guns, events like these wouldn't be nearly as fun. Although it could use a small sound adjustment. So let me ask you something, did all the zebra camos, rainbow decals, and skull masks already not ruin the immersion for you? The fireworks that people launch for fun ruins your immersion more than a tank rolling around the desert looking like a zebra? This game had nearly no immersion to begin with.
Soooo.... your saying a novelty item, with no tactical value, is not useful in a fight? After months of constant balance arguments, frustration with weapons, and no major variety in game play, your telling me that an item, that exists solely for ****** and giggles* mind you, is somehow part of this carefully neglectful plan to make a crappy game and steal people's money? Have you seen Zynga games? Aside from revealing which players have sub-par video cards (lol-particle-effects), this had no significant impact on game flow. A wonderful step away from the typical A. Standing around doing nothing in the biolab, B. Standing around the Cap point in a Tech plant, C. Standing around the V-bay of the Amp station, D. camping the spawn room of small territory.
You see , spent 7bucks and regretted nothing , till tomorrow I'll be spamming it with knife-flare combo , or even just for kicks when I'm ghostcapping with a +48zerg in one hex.
It's great when you owned some tank 1v1.. You can come out of it and launch some fireworks and tbag the tank area.. It makes the people who died angry.....Later, you'll see em posting on the forums about how annoying they are. lol
Yeah it gives away the position of your sunderer quite well and lets the enemy know where you are. It also deafens nearby players who can't hear that LA flying or Infiltrator cloak humming.
You sir, have anger issues. Its just a novelty. if you don't like it then just don't use it. No harm done. If people want to be stupid, let them be, it is their experience and you have no control over what they can and cannot do. Sit on that for a moment and get back to be with your soon to be furious rebuttal.
Give the ability to turn them off lol, that simple. I'm sure SOE could implement something that made the fireworks appear and sound as nothing for people who don't wish for that **** to be in their faces during their time(which sometimes they dont have much of) playing this game. Though that would probably piss of the trolls who love spamming these things constantly
Unless you have stealth it shows up on everyone's mini map flares or not. And even if you do have stealth it doesn't take a genius to follow the ant trail to its spawn point.
