No sci and no ahrak game was super fun

Last night I played a brilliant match where no scientists and ashrak were seen.

It started as a 1 v 1 match and evolved into a 5 vs 5 match of epic proportions.

To all those that played during that match...


THANK YOU

That would be really fun. I think once Sci's are balanced, I think it will be very fun to play with them, because Sci's will need to be smart. But for now, i like games without them. I can't comment on Ashraks, because i always play SL, but when i play as Ashrak, I've found them to be a well balanced class--good at attack, worse at defense.

There is no way to play a match on SGC side without sci cuz i need healin´. -_-

I should point out that there is no way to play a match with Black as SGC without having an ashrak to backstab him! Otherwise SL would be slaughtered

But yes it was fun, and I was able to increase my Goauld KD from 0.16 to 0.47

Less Ashys getting on my nevers would improve my health ingame... d(-_-)b

i can totally understand the need for sci's for healing purposes. but i would gladly welcome a world with no poison. when i'm getting poisoned several times every time i spawn, it just takes a lot of the fun away.
maybe if it was used in an honorable way it wouldn't be so bad, like when they're getting chased. but often, sci's will run up to me, poison me, run away and hide, and repeat the process until i'm dead. and they do it over and over.
i mean think about it, the real sgc would never approve of poison being used in that way. they only used it a few times, and even then they had serious moral issues with using it.

Sci that agrees to only heal and pistol with poison once every 5 min or so would be fine.

i can attest to the fact that playing as a sci WITHOUT the .50 cal turret and only using poison once per enemy (maybe 2 times for jaffa) is soooo much more fun, and actually really fair! you can actually die 1v1 depending on your skill level, as opposed to getting beaten to death and then having a robot get 3 kills for you while you wait to spawn... trust me. as long as people aren't *ahem*CHEAP BUTT MOTH-- pansies, it's not annoying, but instead is actually enjoyable.

Or in 8v8 when SGC has 5 Sci's....please give us a break!

I found it extremely hard to kill a jaffa without a turret. Did it a few times, but any good player will wipe the floor with you. Even ashrak can just run up and face stab u 5 times before the poison does enough dmg and u empty a clip into em. And goauld... forget about it.

but see, that's the fun of it! it is actually a CHALLENGE! and makes you use skill!!! just my opinion though

but some people don't want to use skill, they think there should be a way to just kill a good player without having skill, thus a cheap class, and thus sci... until they are balanced (next patch?)

I usually favor Jaffa and a little poison is a small price to pay for bum-rushing a sci with your staff weapon. On the other hand those turrets.. They ought to make them harder to kill and repairable. And add a 30+ second spawn timer to them, that would make the sci much more cautious, she wouldn't be able to just frivolously toss one down mid-tango.

I'd love to see one or two of the instances running a No Scientist / Ashrak rule. But I'd also like to see a 'classic' mode instance too, with lots of soldiers and jaffa and just one each of the other classes.

Was about to say the same thing. You have to have a scientist to heal on the SGC side, but if it were limited to just 1 scientist, there would be more epic battles, and also be more of a challenge for the 1 scientist to heal their own side. If this was the case then the scientist should get points for healing their own teammates since a good portion of the game would be used for healing.
