The shield had 800 HP. You had to kill 16 operators with bodyshots to chew through both of them.

I only ever saw it break ONCE before the nerf, and that was only on an already damaged shield, using the SMG-11. I didn't even know it COULD break.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Didn't he only have one shield when it was hundreds of hp? I didn't play then mind you

Am I the only one who sees the new operator guy on the main screen's hand clipping right through an oxygen tank on his chest?

Its there constantly, every time I boot up the game, and it really bugs me. Like holy poo poo Ubisoft fix your loving menu :v:

Its one thing to have some clipping error in an animation that sometimes gets played, but having it zoomed in right there on the title screen just seems extremely slapdash.

Also, I'm new to this thing. When abouts is the next update scheduled to drop?

Reminder that Blackbeard's shield used to have 300 hp or something insane. And that semi-automatic shotguns used to be best at long range OHKs.

The Glaz buff is super dumb and unnecessary, like the whole Pulse buff situation, but it's not the worst thing they've put out.

You could also flank Blackbeard

Neckbeard's original design that got changed (based on feedback via testing from Serenity and company) was the shield didn't break at all, if I remember right.

If getting hit totally hosed up his aim like it probably should then that might have been okay because he couldn't duel people then

That'd be an issue for glaz if there weren't already a myriad of gadgets on his team that make castle utterly pointless.

You were arguing that Glaz is the most frustrating part of this game since launch, when there was a time when Blackbeard could park himself on a window and have 800 hp to protect his head.

I can't even.

Jesus Christ.

Basticle argued that current Glaz is worse than old Blackbeard. He argued that you can just flank Blackbeard. You can out flank Blackbeard if he's inside, if he's outside he is much harder to flank. His argument that you can't out flank Glaz is because he's outside.

How is this so difficult to understand.

Ironically Glaz's buff seems to mostly help when he's pushing the objective, inside.

Your title was so old it used HTML which isn't even allowed in titles anymore what the hell
My experience with new glaz is that he just makes you play safer. I think I've only been killed by him twice so far. Just lay low and make him come to you. Business as usual. That said, I haven't had one try the smoke strat on me yet and I suspect that is indeed bullshit.

Are you sure you're not just colorblind? We constantly make fun of someone in our group for his debilitating colorblindness that renders the lasers invisible to him. We're very compassionate.

I can spot kapkan traps almost all the time, but loving Frost traps may as well be invisible.
