Hookshot

[Grumble69]

<p>I'm not saying it should be nerfed in any way.  But it shouldn't force you to drop the relic or flag IMO.  It just happens way too often.</p>

[mattraid]

<p>Agree. Please fix this.</p>

<p>The Hookshot issue has already been corrected locally. </p><p>I thank those that reported the issue right away. </p><p><span style="font-size: large; color: #3366ff;"><strong>Olih<span>in</span></strong></span></p>

<p>Fixed locally.  Yeah, uh, what does that mean exactly?  That it wont be fixed really until another patch is downloaded?</p>

<p>"Locally" is devspeak for their internal systems - meaning it's probably checked over to QA for testing (if such a department exists) and then will be in line for their next server patch/hotfix.</p>

<p>Hookshot should be disabled in BGs until it is fixed.Any ranger who uses it in Ganak or Gears, on a relic or flag carrier, is exploiting a broken mechanic.</p>

<p>Exploit? Are you kidding me.  This was the best screwup soe has had in bgs.  What happens in gears now?  A big orgy in the middle waiting for the orb to do so much damage the healer can't keep up,  then just a click fest to see who gets it next.  rinse and repeat.  No strat, No fun.  The ability to make someone drop the orb in gears without killing them is refreshing.  People are dying for some ingenuity in these bgs, and they found it in a screw up.  Allowing skiils to make players drop the orb without actually killing them would promote communication between team members instead of just pound the opponent into submission.  It's a way to get around an OP'd bruiser who can't die or a team who's stacked up with healers. </p><p>Make more abilities drop the orb/relic please.</p><p>Acamas</p>

[huskies22]

<p>In Ganak what's happening now is a mad rush to the opponents flag, and god forbid a fighter (other than a guard) gets it they just drag the opponents raid force behind them to their own fortress with the flag.  Both teams do this and WOW a stalemate occurs.  Real fun.  Again, the ability to make these players drop the flag without killing them allows a new dimension and prevents this stalemate from happening. </p><p>Re-think your thoughts on hookshot and what it brings to these bgs before you yell exploit.</p><p>Acamas</p>

<p>Hookshot was fun while it lasted but there is a way bigger problem with peoples survivability.</p><p>Unfortunatly devs are keeping completely mum about this problem and probably think we all love this GU like a first born son =/</p>
