Jitterskull's are fine. There is a huge difference between a good Jitterskull and a bad Jitterskull. A bad jitterskulls are the ones that go straight for you, lunge, lunge and lunges again. and either manages to kill everyone, or die at the start of the map. Good Jitterskulls tend to be masterful tacticians. They know how the Jitterskull works inside and out, knows each level. Humans are in control, keeping jitters at bay. It tends to be that one good Jitterskull who breaks that control. Causes Humans to scatter and flee. And soon that Jitterskull won the match, all because humans lost control.
I know that all too well because I had a 2v4 match, and I was the last one alive rather quickly. Those four humans sat about camping in GvH15 at the forest. Now I couldn't get close to them, they just fired away at me. So I snuck behind them. Managed to kill one. So they all scattered. from there I just killed them one by one. I won the match. Now if I were a "Bad Jitterskull" I would have simply came charging in there and most likely would have killed myself.
People complain about jitterskulls, hunters, marines, cyborgs, creepers, sjas, ghost busters, and chokes. Finding reasons why to nerf them because they just want to have an unfair advantage? ITS RANGED VS MELEE! You say the jitterskull should get nerfed HP? Yet your also the ones who get so sit far away shooting at ghouls from long distances? [sarcasm]sounds fair to me [/sarcasm]
Another Reason. GvH can be played with any amount of players. However I rarely ever see anyone consider smaller matches. 2v2-4v4 range. Jitterskull with 110hp? Stop to consider how classes work when you don't have massive 6v6+ brawls. They need to be functional in a 1v1 just as much as a whatever else. If you want to nerf a class, and suddenly when there's less players, it has a massive unbalance. That's also a problem.
Point remains, Jitterskull is fine. People just need to stop complaining.
To add to that point. Marine has 50 Shotgun shots, 150 bullets, 10 grenades, infinite Pistol. Hunter has 30 arrows. Which if a hunter plays smart and picks them back up, can last a really long time. Then two classes with recharging ammo. Two Jitters combined to make 300 HP? Feels very irrelevant when you look how much. How often do you see a Marine use up all 50 shots? A hunter loosing all his arrows? and so forth. Not very often.
And another matter I would love to point out while I'm at it. Some of you guys just go off demanding change and expect it to happen? Balancing is not an easy thing to do. With these new human abilities, Cutty has even more balancing to do. Fine and dandy. Give suggestions. Just stop expecting the change to happen. In my opinion, as of right now. Beta 5 is the most horribly unbalanced beta yet. All these new abilities need tweaking, changes need to be done. So let's try to be more helpful to Cutty and stop demanding irrelevant changes like Sith Lighting or Jitterskull HP loss. After all, Teleport has just came out, give Cutty time to play about with it. It could work, it could not. If it isn't working, then it will come apparent in later betas. Jitterskull HP? JITTERSKULL IS SUPPOSED TO BE A BULKY HIT TAKER! Now please stop being impatient, and give Cutty a chance to tweak these new changes.
One last point I would like to make. Look how good we have it. Cutty could have easily been done with GvH after V1, even after EW could have also been quits. He continues to work on it, we're getting a new Expansion. Hes working on upgrading GvH and EW making it a more fun experience. Hes giving up his free time to work on GvH because we like it. He could be putting full time into his Megaman Deathmatch project, or something else. However hes being dedicated to fixing up GvH. I thank you so much for that Cutty. However what is getting to me is how much people complain and demand changes to suit their needs. How inconsiderate is that? Giving suggestions and expecting it to happen are two different things. Remember. Cutty really doesn't have to be doing this. He made GvH and EW. Could have called it quits, but continues to work on it for the fans. So can we please be a little more respectful? After all, we may be the ones giving the suggestions, but Cutty ultimately has final say and has to do all the work.
