No ones screaming, but I understand what you mean. Of course, after seeing/reviewing it over, putting limitations on Proxies would be very stupid. Better to make them visible to fix the problem.

Which I stated at the very beginning of this thread =p

I know, but I'm just too American to quote you.

This issue has been brought up on numerous occasions, with the same response over and over 'Make the proxies visible again'. It does not mean that the minedetector becomes obselete and worthless, there are tons of places where the mines can be hidden from the naked eye, and with the addition of movable boxes, this solution has been expanded even moreso.

[Ravenblade1979]

Actually I think making them visible would totally take away from the minedetector. I think if you use that then you won't have any problems getting rid of mines.

I agree that its a pain in the butt...but hey this is just like the mousing issue.

Yeah, so fix it?

The minedetector's value wouldn't be gone, otherwise how could you determine whether there are mines under boxes? Or mines under bikes? Or whether the mines were yours or your enemy's? Other than walking in the targeted area and finding out for yourself the hard way.

[Bp852912]

So.. in other words.. a solution would be making them visible again (As Dante as stated [got you this time ]); and by doing so, the mind detector would still have value? ..

..Guess they should make 'em visible again.. (Like Dante stated)

[Dante_P2P]

Putting them in random places is smart, Just throw some god damn barrels on the bike to make sure there is no proxys.

Try expecting proxys in the unexpected.

What's the point of land mines if proxies were to become visible again? I would always put down landmines then put a box over it and see what idiot would walk into it or I'd set a trap with INVISIBLE proxies and jump into a crowd of noobs and run like a *****. If they're stupid enough to follow me, they blow up.

[UnknownMasterMind]

Not to be mean, but I think this thread has no real purpose, they were visible at first I believe, and I am guessing made invisible to add a extra challenge. I say if you have such a problem as suggested earlier, go become a Grenadier class(or any other class with mine detector), and use mine detector.

And yes, I have been victim to many proxs, and I don't use them. And I am still supporting them being invisible.

[xAzerothx]

Forgot to add this, it is always hilarious when you're minding your own business and you blow up by proxies. I literally jump out of my chair and say "Oh ****." Then I have a good laugh. If they were visible what's the point if everyone can see them?

[Dante55555]

I could go on for a long time about the point of everyone seeing them, Az, I really could. As for it adding a challenge, Desear, it sure as hell did the opposite. When they were visible you had to THINK and be strategic about where you placed them. Hiding them in crates and barrels etc. was among the most popular choices. Now you can put them anywhere and the only thinking involved is where someone's most likely going to step (bunkers ladders etc.)...

Not a challenge for the proxers, a challenged for the proxied. And also this balances out Iricia, Commandos can't beat everything, since proxies are invisable, and Commando doesn't have mind detector, it balances it by making them either, A) Throw grenades randomly, or B) Get a mine detectors when being proxied, which causes them to choose the slow class.

If they were visible, you would have to hide them as suggested, and think about that excuse for a second, how many places can you hide proxes behind ? Its very limited especially on Iricia. :/ I want to hear a real reason why they should be visible.

Like HELL it is. Especially in current Zone with boxes being movable.
