Combat Lerks.. What The Heck

Okay, after playing around 15+ combat games on the new beta now, I've come to the conclusion that the no-energy-flight cost for lerks is really... really unbalanced in combat.... I mean, I've seen lerks with celerity going straight UP AND DOWN constantly just gassing in MS and nobody is able to kill it.... before you could say "oh, eventually he'll have to stop" but now...... there's no catching that celerity lerk! and on co_kerstral (i think) it's LUDACRIS! (Like the rapper!)

Anyways, does anyone agree with me, or am I just complaining? Just seems that way to me!

    well at least for me it always has been like this, lerk hit and run abillity is great, but now is just a bit sooner due the no need of adrena

    you will get fit to it, i was able to kill several lerks, so err the problem is just you i guess.

    once again, it's not that it's unbalanced it's an exploit (in my book anyway) to go up and down like that.

    I can think of two ways to take care of that, either put a delay on the flaps, or make the lerk take falling damage again... >:D

    delaying the flaps is needed . cuz the bouncing thing comes from exploiting jump scripts wiht lerk flight, which make you reach top speed instantly.

    buts its nice to be able to fly without worrying about falling out of the sky for lack of energy. its fun to be a lerk again. and hopefully it can take some of the emphasis off of fades.
