I am guilty...  ...of SCREAMING that "Don't use sound on lured cogs" over and over when I was new. I did not understand. After all you don't get experience points if you use sound on lured cogs right? Wrong!
Yes, I know there is a pop-up on the TT hints that says you don't get BONUS kill points if you sound lured cogs... you do however...get your regular experience points.
When training LURE I would use it all the way through the factory when others were sounding. First, the more you use it the sooner you max it and Secondly, sound won't miss on lured cogs.
Warning: often in CCG VPs, when we are trying to keep the lower laff toons alive we DO NOT sound because if you wipe out a row of 1, 2, 4, 12 level cogs, you could end up facing 4 level 12 cogs...And then there is the debate of which misses more...sound or lure...but let's not go there.
Just trying to give the other side here... |
I must admit the OP was a little vague in his story but I'm afraid you misunderstood what he was saying as well. What he's saying is that they were using sound right after he lured which caused him to go sad. Your 100% right that there is nothing wrong with using sound on lured cogs as long the sounders inflict enough damage leaving the group to recieve little or no damage in return. However, this wasn't the case as the OP stated in so few words that he went sad. What can be asked is that if the OP had sounded as well would that have killed the cogs? What was the lvl of the cogs being sounded upon and what sound gags was used by the group? These are questions which would back whether or not it was a misunderstanding by the group thinking that the OP should have sounded as well. However, if the cogs were 9 or greater LVL cogs and everyone was picking weak sound then can't really blame the OP for attempting to lure. I also don't think it has anything to do with gaining experience points with lure from the OP. I'm going to go on a hunch and think that he lured because he knew that the sound wouldn't have killed the standing cogs. Nevertheless, who knows I wasn't there..
GL and don't give up OP...
