Alysnes should not be allowed in Mashmak

[CEO of Cunny]

How can you have a battle royale extraction mode with a mech that has 3 lives? It doesn't work. It's complete BS that you have to kill him 3 seperate times in a game mode where you might face him at low HP. Mashmak in general feels badly balanced, but it's astounding that they didn't realize a person with two extra lives doesn't work well in an extraction mode.

Literally almost everything does. They're the strongest things in the game atm from the look of things. The issue with Alysnes is that he has 3 lives and he can replenish his two extra ones from not dying for a while. This basically leads to a mech that has infinite lives as long as he doesn't die 3 times in a row. It doesn't work in an extraction game.

He gets his armored form, you kill that, he then re-armors himself and you have to kill him again. Then you finally have to kill his final fast form. If he survives for, I think 3 mins, without dying then he gets his kit back and he's back at 3 lives again.

Idk what to tell you man, but you can kill Alysnes before they can pop an armor and in Mashmak it's extremely easy to burst down people with modular weapons.

mashmak is a terrible mode anyway.

if players can't damage eachother, that might be interesting(so it's a rush for kills/resources, since the potential long game duration and lack of ability to swap mechs makes its pvp balance even more of an issue than quick respawn pvp).

Also, Alysnes should lose inventory and addon weapons when it loses the outer armor.

Maybe if you're at low levels. Any decent Alysnes can armor themselves quickly. It also gives a temporary stun to anyone nearby so they can even use it as an escape. It's completely fine for 3v3 and 6v6, but it doesn't work in an extraction game because everyone has to fight attrition except for him.

People are at the mercy of not being low health when fighting enemies but Alysnes has basically 3 health bars with 2 being always at full health.
