What A Game Is Like With Tai'Kin(No "Counter" )

Hey guys, I decided to make a video on what Tai’kin is like without a counter, if the devs think this ship is fine the way it is (when almost all games are like this one with nobody with a tackler or someone that has it but doesnt use it) than they need to be educated by this video. Feel free to discuss, I want a big ol’ argument. ![;)](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/002.png “;)”) The video is just a basic game without a counter, as the title says. This is how I see Tai’kin’s. He had the slowing drone and Tai’al launcher. Both don’t fit the “Recon” area. ![:(](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/003j.png “:(”)

Link to my “Tai’kin Balance” post earlier: 

Video:  Also ignore the language I don’t care, had to steam to keep sanity.

Points to discuss:

  • Current Fit(from video)
  • If more counters are needed
  • Personal thoughts

 

Git gud! You let your anger get the best of you and then you make too many mistakes. Teamwork is non-existent with you.

Rip, why you so mean? Sole purpose was to film Tai Garbage. xD This wasn’t a “hey look how good I am” video I just tried to get close to him. I’m an incredibly great pilot when I need to be I basically won the game for us in this video. But it wasn’t the “show how great I am and how broken it is” You wanna judge me as a pilot fight me 1v1 man, don’t call shi* because your watching a video attuned to another subject. Find me in R11 then go at it provided I don’t have 200 ping. Fug that.

Oh really?

What about this?

Seems that no recon matches the “recon” idea, would you like to enlighten us on this particular piece of information? Oh wise one!

Beacon hunt game with engie + gunship vs 2 inties never ends well unless it’s very well coordinated, frigate moves to the beacon early and gets a constant cover from the gunship. OP didn’t even went back to his engie when either he or his teammate were in danger. Also OP proved that he can kill Taikin few ranks higher with the worst gun for hunting inties (actually OP had more problems with hitting that ECM than recon). And he proved that dessies even at close range can be tanky as hell. Overall - if the teamwork was better it could be a won game. And kudos to OP for being on the level terms with singularity gunship vs 2 inties. Now, when Taikin cannot strafe or jump that quick, you should have even less problems. 

 

It’s somewhat simple to exploit the human factor in sc, too many taikins? = cloaky lrf with positrons/tackler of any kind, too many thargas? = guard/tackler or be a decoy with command/ecm, i mean there are a number of ways to counter a simple popularity train everyone is riding and it takes like one or two games to notice what the majority is using. When i fought darts, i simply drained their energy, and gargoyles just leaving a probe making them unable to cloak. You have to be an allrounder to enjoy this game in its full sense, yes ellydium needs tweaks and whatnot but at least when presenting a faulty mechanic be professional about it and not downright toxic. Provide me with a video that has no insults or any plain bad behavior and i’ll make sure it’s seen by the right people. Quid pro quo.

ohh nice a 2v2, this game is jammin

About 3

The critical truth of it is that you get angry too easily about it and then you chase them around like a fukn moron. If you stay near your team and do the objectives and prevent them from doing them then its normally a win. Not that I am some expert or anything but this is advice that was given to me and the results are as expected.

 

As far as your invite for 1 vs 1, we have already done this and I beat you but it doesn’t determine that I am better player. You likely are better in a lot of ways but you seem to be lacking heavily in teamwork which is where the money is at.

 

Also, Rank 11 ships have a buff that puts them on even playing field with higher ranks for the most part which is why your rank 11 Jericho destroyer didn’t die immediately against my Vigilant. Auto balance turned off in custom only means that the creator of the custom match can move the players from A to B or vice verse. If you recall I still had half my hull remaining which on vigilant is only half its health gone. If you are putting shields on vigilant then you, well, aren’t me, lets just say that. XD

 

As far as Tai’Kin, dude, how much do you guys want to nerf this thing. Its meta is completely different from the mindset that you that don’t own it are thinking. Get a fukn Tai’Kin and learn to use it. THEN maybe your rants will mean something.

2v2’s are the best, either I can single handedly farm the other “team” or my team is the one that gets farmed because my opponents not only exercise teamwork but are too competent for me to win a 2v1 damage race… Rarely we get one of those games where my teammate can speak english, and is as good as me (read: as geared as me) and the other two opponents are as good as us, and we actually have to work together for a victory and it’s a close game regardless, but come on, that’s like one in fifty games.

I’d rather play co-op, I rarely get 2v2’s in co-op and I want to farm to level my ship.

teamwork requires trust and since trusting a stranger is a venture into the unknown, it’s more reliable to just use random players as bait instead of projecting unreasonable expectations onto them. Competition is not an empathy sport for the weak unless you’re talking about virtue signalling on twitter.

Dude, it’s a game. If you have problems trusting a stranger, a computer game is the most risk free space to do it.

roughly correlating with the amount of active players, multiplied by fun.
