In the Feb. update they are suppose to implement a new type of ballista into the game.
I was thinking and there isn't much that it could be, I was thinking deathmatch or capture the flag style or something.
I just hope its not something lame like a new style of time incriments in the matchs like all or nothing vs 3 matches.

What they need to do is introduce a one on one system and rank it serverwide. Although MNKs would dominate most of the time, it'd be nice to see none-the-less. It would also maybe push them to equalize the jobs in Ballista.

About that...
is it the same on all the other servers or are we just lucky? Is there an intence fear of not getting the highest score possible so everyone resorts in the cowerdice of waiting for one person out of the group to make a move for 1/2 the ballista match?

I don't do it. Anyone who does is a chicken shit, as far as I'm concerned. =)

Must have some cowards if everyone's waiting for somone to make a move. Usually from 0:00 to 1:00 both teams just quarry-whore, then its off to the races.

I dunno I've had that problem alot with 60 cap and below on our server <<.
That or you'll have the bastards that are simply there to whore out points, and quarry but REFUSE to do any actually killing. They just sit back wait till gate breach is acheived by one of the hard working guys out there, and then poof they're the high scorer.
It gets really annoying when I look at the list of who is top ranked on our server, and it just infuriates the living shit out of me because I can discount at least half of it for being a bunch of pansy bastards. <<
I can take the hit and run crap, that's all tactics if you don't like it go 1v1. However I cannot stand being on a team with five or six guys that just refuse to do anything, you're not playing the game that way you're just inflating your own god damn epeen.

Im a regular Ballista(er?) and being a SMN i would love to see a small area battle instead of entire zone... And make it so everyone is killed atleast like 10 times. That would fix thoe ppl who sit and quarry at rook and leech GB off people. also in a side note..... MAKE AVATARS MORE RESISTANT TO SLEEP.... thanks.

Do people really sit back and do nothing? I believe in waiting for the right moment to strike (after quarrying up 5 or more petra and the blms on the way over to sleep the other team) but I never watch anyone simply sit back and do nothing. If you blindly rush in your guarnteeing the other team gate breech. Brawns won't win every battle.....

I'm a petra whore myself and my JP friend teases me about it. However I usually earn most of my kills or atleast contribute to it. I'm not really for 1vs1 because most of people who do it, one of them is just being bitter about being killed or some shit. Half the time I've been asked to 1vs1, the dude challenging me has an unfair anyway.
I don't like being the reason the other team gets a gate breach although sometimes it can't be helped. Don't be a retard and stand there by yourself if no one on your team is nearby because as soon as that second person comes in, unless you have sprint or you're a THF or PLD, you're probably not gonna come out alive. Ballista is a team game in a community based game. If you wanna 1vs1 reserve your own Diorama. You got two hours to "prove yourself" there.

Errr, I really couldn't care about the background of the ballista.
Throw me into Pashow, Jugner, Meriphataud- it's not going to matter. And there will always be those who would rather be 1 of the 4 guys mauling that poor guy who got seperated from his team than the 1 guy mauling the 4 guys who tried to pick on him because he got seperated from his team.
One thing I would love to see about ballista is more people attending. The Herald says it can hold up to 70(?) something per team? That would be sweethotbangbangslashgashmashbashcrashinsane. The Herald says to wait a little ways off before the start of a match to avoid crowding, which is a bit of a joke right now. On average, 8 characters will show up for any given ballista. I want huge team vs. huge team.

There is a difference between haulting an attack for a strategic reason, and simply never drawing your weapon. Allowing your team to carry you for your high score, is down right pathetic.
