et server suggestion Defusing Landmines

[g.o.a.t.]

EDIT: Quick summary on POST 5, for those that can't be bothered to read.

 

I've been starting to play engy class more lately, and find it is highly underrated. I use to never plant landmines at all, because I thought it was more like gambling for kills on adrenaline servers. But I just slapped myself in the head because I remember this server doesn't have adrenaline, so landmines are actually effective. I've been placing S-mines near enemy choke points, almost always getting kills and 70 percent landmine successions.

 

Full 15 landmines usually at my disposal right from the beginning because usually nobody wants to play engineer at the beginning. So i'm racking up landmine kills, re-directing enemy traffic most of the time. I would plant 1 or 2 sometimes 3 at any choke point I feel necessary. Now that our team has the upper hand, and players are now starting to feel comfortable to start initiating attacks. All of a sudden I got 0 landmines.

 

I take a look at where the landmines that are being placed are, and just occasionally check if I can use a landmine anytime soon. Nope, zero landmines still. 10minutes go bye, and zero landmines still. Now I go check where the landmines are, and notice it was placed near random locations defending our mortars or command posts. This irritates me because, I've actually turned a defensive weapon into an offensive weapon. But now I see the precious landmines remaining stationary and useless, even though it is protecting a path to our command post which could be repaired.

 

I just don't know what to do about that, and after tasting the excitement of engineering pwnage, its hard for me to just go back to lame fraggin as medic, when I could be rifle nading, landmine pwning, and repairing anything in my path. Arrrg I fell in love with engineer class, but the precious landmines are being wasted.

 

Yes I know its rude to defuse other players landmines, but I can't think of anything else. Nooooo i don't want to see 100 landmines ever!!! I would be satisfied with having only 2 landmines accessible to myself if that's the case always.

i like landmines too. But what are you suggesting?

..., landmine pwning, and repairing anything in my path. Arrrg I fell in love with engineer class, but the precious landmines are being wasted.

 

 

HAHA welcome to my favorit class

Yes I know its rude to defuse other players landmines, but I can't think of anything else.

 

in my opinion there is nothing rude defusing useless landmines and use them on a other place where they are really needed / helpful ... as an example marakech streets here it often happens that after the allies have braked into the town useless mines could be found at the panzer bridge or within the tunnels or somewhere else .....

 

This mines could become more helpful within the streets of marakech ?!!!! Yes for sure they are placed near the laboratory or at the allies "Runways " or to secure the axis second spawn...

 

I personally as engie go out collecting all mines outside the town, planting a few around the Truck and the rest for defense..

only my point of view .

I agree with everything you've said, whenever I play engy I always place my mines as offensively as possible, and it's rather annoying when someone spams a whole pile somewhere that does need defending, but not yet.

[g.o.a.t.]

Noticed I should of put a poll for defusing or not. I'm suggesting if only engineers can defuse their teammates landmines.

I wish mines wouldn't be in ET, but they are. I think there should be a way out of every death. If you don't have lvl 4 battle sense (always the case in matches/scrims), there is no way to avoid getting killed by a landmine. It's the only thing I find cheap in the entire game. My dog can figure out that I leave through my front door, so if he sleeps in front of it, he'll know I'm leaving. In the same way, any idiot could figure out where people are going and put a land mine there.

That may be true for your scrim/matches...but on our regular F|A servers...you can and will get level 4 battle sense. You will see the mines, and all that ptsd from the scrims will eventually disappear as you realize...I too can pwn with landmines

[daredevil]

On jay you can't defuse team landmines. Even if they place it and you kick them then also land mines would be their and kills will be give to random people. Jaymod bug or whatever people might say. I have have seen this behavior on 2.1.7. Not sure for 2.1.8.

 

Jaymod does need new official update but blame it to Jaybird for stubborn nature to not release source code and not even bothering to change anything.

finally one more fan for the engi class

 

I must say that for anyone that does understand the essence of being and eng, knows that landmine placing is an art

I was (and maybe will) going to do a tutorial on mine placing but just don't got the time

 

But my opinion on this post is, that g.o.a.t is right..

the max mine limit, sucks, specially if you are playing with a noob engie, it has happened after I place only 3 mines I couldn't place any more because

they had wasted all of them in one single spot

 

But as much unfair as it is, it must be limited, or else we could turn an entire map into a mine field (that would be sooooo cool).. and and experient engie

simply wouldn't allow for the other team to do anything...

 

So the solution goes by either letting the engies disarm others mines, or have a defined amount BY engi..

but unfortunately that is up to the MOD guys...

 

only solution is to wait and hope

None is possible atm. You can disarm mines on ETPUB not on Jaymod.

Oh well happy fragging. Cald whoa, I do not want to see 100 landmines on this server ever . If I could get only 2 landmines i'd be totally satisfied. . Thanks for reading and I will rifle nade you all to hell.

I think I've set maybe 10 landmines in the past year... I get no enjoyment out of killing somebody with them. The number I see at the end of the round is nowhere near the good feeling I get from winning a tough firefight, or even better, running the docs. Either way you slice it, you're still getting penalized for moving.

[hobbit]

I agree with Dad, although I do like to play r nade. Especially if ur an r nade, u wont be setting too many mines since u need charge for the actual r nade. Atleast that's what its like in matches, but here on ETPub, all u need is a bit of engy xp and u can do both...

But yea, getting a landmine kill is kinda a wussy was to kill ppl, if u know what I mean.

[Terror Time]

Off-topic, landmines pwn!

 

The best is to be axis engineer in first part of Marakesh, set all the mines in the flower pot outside your spawn. I fitted 27 landmines around the flower bed area before..

 

I got on another server where I play:

 

Double

 

Triple

 

Multi

 

Ultra

 

M-m-m Monster

 

Ludacris

 

Holy shit!

 

Number1dad, get a holy shit with Landmines and tell me you don't enjoy them.

 

It's damn annoying when they are used against you, but when you use them you can have a great fun.

 

It's all about strategy in placing them, thats the key.

 

You know outside the Fuel Depot on Fuel dump, the little box that looks like a telephone booth?

 

Two Landmines placed behind there will always get you a kill, no doubt

 

Give them a try, you'll have fun. Be a sneaky bastard to, think careful about where to place them.

 

Have fun.
