I like the fact that a melee can interrupt my capping, it gives me a chance to fight back intead of being stuck there while he grinds away at my HP.

^^ Yeah really ... how dumb is it that people COMPLAIN about not interrupting someone? That's 15 seconds they can't attack you. Dimwits.

Awwww muffin, need a tissue?
Yeah but that's not a problem with BS, that's a problem with OPed defenses. I would rather those OPed defenses get wasted on a capping timer than focused on me.
Awwww muffin, need a tissue?
LOL yeah because THAT'S the problem right there ... cocoon is just THAT amazing.

Moonbolt - 220/26/something. Trox Enf RK1 General of Hells Heroes.
Renswind - 220/21/67 solitus trader.
Moonkiss - 219/21/something opifex shade.
Mooncloud - 150/18/somethin solitus MA.
A certain NR8 keeper comes to mind that was damn near impossible to kill while he was capping.
Also, I see no reason not to balance it out. In fact, I find it FAR more useful to be able to defend a point by simply stopping them from capping it than to waste an alpha into coon trying to kill them before they cap it. It's about winning, not about killing.
No, but it's a huge chunk of the problem that you highlighted and I'm quoting you "not a problem with BS, that's a problem with OPed defenses".
Unless you meant that when enfos rush to a cap point, with maxed absorbs+BR, cap, and rage to the next point without being bothered is OK. While on the other hand Limber and DOF are OP?
So which def is OP here?
Cocoon is certainly not an OPed defense on it's own so LAWL. Is this a thread about OPed defenses? If so, what does that have to do with BS balance ... It's not unbalanced because people can cap, that's for sure. Each side has access to all professions.
And yeah, I do think it's OK that the scenario you present exists. It's been part of PVP and BS since LE came out. It also applies to properly setup keepers and advys and maybe some others too.
I think your just pissed that you are ranged and can't interrupt capping. I think your thread isn't about defenses, it's about that.

That's funny, because the thread is about some indication how BS isn't balanced because of melee player defenses ... and it was made by you in the first post ... so no, I didn't bring it up, it's the whole premise of your argument from the first post. I'm not going to give you my opinion on what defenses are OPed .. it's irrelevant. I'm just pointing out that BS isn't unbalanced because of defenses melee professions have, especially since both sides have access to these professions and defenses, whatever they are.

This thread has nothing to do with melee defenses. It has to do with Ability to cap while defenses are up.
We have a little reading comprehension issue here it seems.
My point in the original post is not about whether melee defenses are OP or not. It's about the straight fact that melee can cap with their defenses up, soldiers can't.
Here it is again:

i think i understand this thread.. soldiers should not have any disadvantages in ranged pvp

.. which is more directly related to interrupting nano casting, an advantage reserved for melee users if my experience serves my memory properly (I don't think ranged users can interrupt). So really, your just complaining about an 'advantage' a melee character gets in PVP that ranged do not. The whole 'BS CAPPING' part is just some diversion from the real complaint.
It still has nothign to do with 'balancing' BS, as either side has access to melee professions.

You still don't get it do you. You're either thick, or you are facing serious comprehension problems.
Let's try one more time.
When I raise my defense, which is AMS, I can't cap, it gives a message such as:
Can't cap while AMS is running.
When you raise your defense, which is coon + BR + whatnot, you can cap.
Interrupting has nothing to do with it.

MP in sneak eNSDed me and did about 20k damage in 10-12 seconds
... because AMS locks out your nanoskills and capping is an exceution of a nanoskill, which is why melee can interrupt capping and ranged can't. It's got nothing to do with BR and cocoon or whatever else. In fact, a crat can cap, so can an MP. I suspect an NT might be able to do it too with some luck and NS2. It's all about the interruption, not the specific defenses.
So again, that's NOT fundamentally a BS thing, it's related to nanocasting.
And just to point out, now here is the truth, you want to cap with AMS up. Just say it man, we aren't stupid. We can read right though all this "BS Balance PLZ" smokescreen.

I love how easy it is to kill someone as a ranged profession when they are capping a point. Perfectly reasonable for some people to not like stopping a capper, especially when they clear those absorbs with a single special, but in the case of a well built toon it is definately an advantage.
If you want, we can stop melee from interrupting players instead? I would be more than happy to beat your ranged profession down with my pets and melee toons and you being more or less screwed.
