The Docks / Re: Hey there GoI! Do you like Cake?

« on: March 10, 2014, 10:45:30 pm »

Salutations and warm welcomes to thee, I am Mr. Trickery, a Pilot for the clan The Cohort. Due to The Cohort's somewhat abandonment of Guns of Icarus and an offer from B'Elanna to join I'd like to put myself forward to join the ranks among the Cakes. I have flown and crewed beside B'Elanna in the past and took part in the Iron Fork recently with Jacob Fii and Shadak Shademore. If you have any questions for me well you can find me under the same name on steam, other than that you can find me in the skies, hope to see you there

General Discussion / Re: Ship Scrambling and Other Upcoming Features

« on: November 17, 2013, 02:59:00 am »

I personally like the idea of scrambled matches but as a game type, like have lobbies called scambled lobbies so its clear that its a scrambled game and other people either looking for one or not can tell. As long as its not forced in every lobby I'd be ok with this and would even join a scrambled game once it a while.

With the whole issue of balancing which is going on I actually believe that its almost impossible to fully balance a game, regardless of whether or not you "nerf" this gun because people think its "OP" or "nerf" this ship because people think its overused players will just more onto something else. All these "balances", "fixes" or whatever you want to call it are doing is changing what people are using at the time and regardless of what's changed the more competitive teams are more than likely going to use the best ships with the best builds which other non-competitive players/"pug" players will see competitive players using/"stomping" with them and think "that looks good, I'll use that myself" which people will then start to complain about because everyone is doing it, things will get "nerfed" and the whole process will start all over again and again until the game has been "nerfed" so much that you don't even have a game anymore.

I'll end my voice opinion here before I go on for to long but this is what I think, feel free to either think about and/or comment on it. I'd love to hear whether people disagree or agree with me.
