That would be a no, then.
Seems like you are resorting to school yard tactics.
That would be a no, then.
So your speculation is based on previous Merry Mahem and those who attempted (and completed a run). Despite the massive amount of lag that discouraged alot of people to skip it? What about all the ones from cat 7 that would move up to cat 8? What about the ones that have leveled up since merry mayhem? What about all the ones who didn't like the idea of a batstim styled best time run and decided not to participate but will in this one since its based on points? What about all those people who decided the last MM was a waste of time and won't bother with this event? What about all those who will decide to chip in/chip out to compete?
Your speculation is pointless.
That would be a no, then.
So just because he cant/wont point out specific people they dont exist? Ridiculous
Can you point to examples of those people? I would guess they exist but that there would be very few of them. I'd be surprised if there are more than 5 people that fit that description and who would want to attempt a serious competitive attempt at this event. I'd be surprised if there was 1, really.
I was one of these people. Mayhem was a bad design, I will never mayhem with batsim style speed runs.
Merry mayhem I was cat 7 did one run and was done (actually stopped playing for over a month entirely), this time around I am cat 9 barely(104.76), if I stop skilling blp until mayhem, and that's with chipping out a few ESI to widen the gap some.
I will say I would be seriously considering not attempting if I were in cat 10, simply because of the points so many others have made, the major one being, the competition in that cat comes down to the most expensive gun, used with max enhancers, and broken OP stacked pills/rings. (which is still not fixed) And its usually the same setup handed off to a few people in the same group to secure the win every time, across many cats. (which is why I think this mayhem design even exists)
Its tricky, cat 10 is clearly where they spend the most on events, but they should really break it up, or come up with a way to cap weapon DPS in cat 10 (the rest are capped) to even the field, so the same setups/people don't keep winning.
There should be SOFT CAPS on everthing, you should be able to choose your category yourself depending on your GEAR.
only 1 category can be choosen + whatever FFA instance there is.
This would mean ALOT more ppl would join in and HAVE FUN.
Main thing is to have fun, but i dont like it when i get put in a box by MA, let me chose what box i want to fight in!
Ofc high DMG/Sec weapons can help to get into top 10 in a event, but dont u all think it's still a part of luck to doing good in such event?
I can not count (or i am to lazy) how often i was placed in top 10 with a simple ModMerc (T10, T6) sometimes without enhancers, sometimes with accuracy enhancers sometimes with dmg enhancers, A 106 or HC 204.
There are alot weapons doing alot more dmg than ModMerc, but i did beat Terminator, BL 1950, BL 1800 and so on in such pointbased events.
Luck is the key!
I guess MA can provide 20 Categories and there are still ppl complaining about it.
Actually, I think it looks pretty good, maybe some fine tuning is needed, except that people just a little into cat 10 are completely different avatars than the super ubers like yourself.
Perhaps a cap on the lowest CAT makes sense to keep it limited to new players only, but all the others should be fully open IMO.
Event is going to suck a giant one anyways, I guarantee it.
Are people forced into a particular category, or can they choose a higher one if they like, i.e have skills to fit into cat 5 but choose to participate in 6 or 7 in order to use higher DPS weaponry?
10 and I will get my ass kicked by Messi, Stryker, Hulk, Grave, Sokolade, Girts, and so in )
Merry mayhem
Players = max 2x winning time.
Cat 10 had 15 players
Cat 9 had 17 players
Cat 8 had 29 players
Cat 9 has 16 players over lvl 105
Cat 8 has 11 players over lvl 105
Easter implication
Cat 10 now has 42 contenders
Cat 9 now has 1 contender!!
Cat 8 now has 18 contenders
im curious... couldnt you just go into the defense mode, not kill any robot but instead just heal yourself all the time? or do the enemies spawn nevertheless? it sounds like if you kill a wave, the next one spawns and is stronger (similar to the neomex cave, and we all know MA loves to copy n paste). so just get a decent hps fap and auto-use tool the shit out of the fap and wait for the winning time.
only way to prevent is letting the waves spawn, no matter how many mobs are still alive. but i guess we will see...
DPS limit for cat 4 is a bit low as highest profession is capped at <55 and dps at 74 seems a bit low i was checked ah to find a weapon to use but meh most weapons are above 74 dps if the dps could be increased to 75 or 76 i will get a lot of weapon choices
Also got a question for those who participated in MM this year. Is the dps limit is like 74.0 or i can use waepon upto 74.9 dps when dps limit is 74 ?
On another matter: Anyone know if easter boxes will be sold this year ? its kinda late
