    I was replying to Auburn, not you, regarding the fact that he just made a remark about his sarcasm meter instead of making an actual argument. None of that was directed at you in particular, and I did not mean to offend you.

    But you seemed very positive that this thing SHOULD get back in, not fixed or removed

    I agree that knights have tons of vertical options, and I think it should just be removed. Seriously, if you have 4 knights, why isn't one of them spending 40 coins and double bomb-jumping over a wall? Because he sucks? Oh then he probably sucks enough to where he won't be smart enough to use a shield ladder anyway so, problem solved.

    So, uhhh have you ever run out of bombs in the middle of the battlefield and the builders made it so you can't get back in? Happens to me all the time. Typically I get around it by feeding off the other team for their bombs, but sometimes they don't have a bomb shop.
    So here I am, sitting in the middle of the battlefield with a bunch of other knights without bombs, and we're looking at each other, and saying "Now what?" We can try climbing up each other's shields until we get up, or help arrives. Moral of the story, Why take out laddering when it could be useful, and also, just because people don't have bombs doesn't mean they suck.

    What I meant by that saigon was that if something is in game it should work well and be liked by the community. If something doesn't work well or is not liked by the community then something needs to change that.

    In my opinion, updating it to work better is the way to go. The only other choice is to remove it, which I disagree with. With the reasoning being what I had previously said and what Auburn said.

    @Nighthawk

    Sorry, thought it was directed at me. No hard feelings.
     
  6. Or you can contain the other team completely, getting a lot of time for your builders to move forward and establish shops and defenses or just have them join you, make ladders and have you roll over the other team.



    but thats just me maybe

    But wouldn't you be able to do that if you were able to make it over their structures? Infact, wouldn't it pressure the enemy team even more so?
     
  8. yes you would.

    you would also be able to get to a base with a bombjump. as well as with rocket rollerblades. theres a reason we dont have rocket rollerblades though.

    What if you used all your bombs or didn't have enough to buy anything like what auburn said? The whole point of this suggestion is to update an aspect of the game that already exists. You may never use it, but others like myself would. So making it work the best it can should be done.
     
  10. i just told you what you do. if you are not able to understand what you read, you might as well stop using discussion forums

    The thing is is that it is already in game. Nothing is being added. The suggestion is to update.

    Geti's idea would work best, rather than knights acting like a ladder block while holding their shields up. Knights would actually take fall damage if they fell from too high, and the knights wouldn't be able to assist their friend at the bottom of a cliff when can just barely not make it.

    Also, holding another knight makes more sense then floating (especially with a chicken), gaining momentum while slashing, and bomb jumping, so why remove it since it's already there? Also, if knights are resorting to this tactic, it means that the tower is too high, and would require many knights to actually get one knight up the tower. You can't get multiple up. And the majority of towers are just too tall for this to even work against, but this is a good way to get out of annoying little holes like this:

    :castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_wall::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_bg::castle_wall:
    :castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall::castle_wall:

    I agree with Geti's idea to simply make it a ledge when shielding up. But regardless, most players won't work as a team using this technique because THEY WON'T BE AWARE IT EXISTS. On the plus side, at least you can do this alone to give your buddies a little boost.

    It needs presence in some sort of tutorial. Maybe create an online tutorial server to practice teamwork? But maybe the average KAG player won't care about that anyway :oops:
