*Drops uplink in thread*

What'chu gonna do 'bout it?

Apparently you can 16 up at any given time by a team (16 people, 1 uplink each) so if you were playing a game where everyone had an uplink it would seem very spam like. Or a crazy coincidence. The count also resets after you pop one, so they can always drop another. Plus people who have specialized can have more then one up at a time. I feel your pain. Domination turns into an uplink fest all over the one cannon. Lol so I made a militia fit scout uplinker and joined the fun.

My idea of a fix would be a limited amout for the whole team but I'm sure someone will yell at me for mentioning it.

My God I love when people make ignorant assertions like this. Yes uplink spam. I can drop 9 proto links on my favorite PC fit. And then when I die I come in with allotek proto and drop 2 more. That's 11 by myself. All proto.

Welcome to my nightmare, it's my job, and you won't win with uplink spam if you face a good team.

Its everywhere and its really annoying.

Having to run 300M to battle,while dodging murder taxis every respawn...that's annoying.

1 uplink is fine, but cluster spamming 3-5 uplinks in one place is really annoying.

Uplink spam is destablizing PC without a doubt.

The entire game mode revolves around spamming uplinks and explosives.

Game MODE?

There is a limit on how many can be present at once, and flux nades take them out effectively.

Please tell me at what point I made an ignorant assertion? I said people who specialize can drop more then one. But if there were 16 militia uplinkers there would only be 16 on the field. And the counter resets. It shows your team and the other teams amount of uplink available in the deploy screen under the mcc hp.

Whatt you talking bout son?

Semantics... point still stands, PC matches revolve entirely around spamming uplinks and explosives.

There is a limit on how many can be present at once, and flux nades take them out effectively.

See that's the problem right there. One person having the ability to make CRUs and Objective Spawns completely useless.

Uplinks are what make every PC match so boring. It's just uplinks, explosions, and a double serving of lag.

Many uplinks can have more than one active.

It is currently inefficient to use flux over AV simply due to the nature of the current LAVs.

IN PC matches LLAV's are not as effective as pubs.

I disagree. Uplink placement is important but we win battles with only 1-2 massdrivers. Define explosives? Forge's? We only have 1 as well. Uplinks can we dropped by either side making destroying uplinks and uplink placement part of the metagame.

I hope they tend to the uplink spam before it just becomes normal strategy in your average pub matches. Though honestly I've been seeing it more and more.

But tactics? Meh... just pick and objective, flood it with uplinks and spam spam spam.

Oh well i play pubs. our corp doesnt have enough members (nor the equipment) to go PC

Explosives? Grenades mostly... You can't say every other PC match we play is just locus nade spam all over each objective! Its pretty bad.

Uplink placement is important only cause you need to to continue to swarm objectives. It makes the games more action packed, which is nice. But tactics? Meh... just pick and objective, flood it with uplinks and spam spam spam.

too late

Thats the saddest part. Uplink spam has rendered tactics useless. uplink spam > tactics. Sadly, it has become a crutch to good corps. Ive played against a few good corps and went uplink chasing and completely demolished them simply bc they couldnt spawn on their uplinks.

I did fail to factor in grenade spam. This is a separate problem only semi related to uplinks though. But even then ZDUB count the number of nade kills in the corp vid's I'm not so sure they're as prevalent as one might think, nade's do take some skill to cook and throw. Nade's should be nerfed IMO, they're just their own noob tube cept AV nades. But uplinks? Nah I like the uplink meta. I wish they'd decrease the map visibility of them back to chromosome levels, minus the glitchy invisible ones.

Decrease the map visibility but put a hard cap of 3 active uplinks per person, same with nanohives. Uplinks are too rampant and, like a previous poster mentioned, make tactics worthless. The main "tactic" in PC is just: get high ground, uplink spam, kill enemy uplinks. Is it not? After that it's just who can explode the other team faster.

As far as explosions, you guys were great to play against cause it was actually challenging and fun because I was dying to something other than a nade or MD. Minus the locus Nades, most of TP actually consists of good gunmen which makes it interesting.

Ancient Exiles and Nyain San on the other hand... Talk about Mass Driver Brigade. Our game against them we ended up cloning them but the city was literally dominated by Nades and MDs. The killfeed was nothing but explosive weaponry. I've given up running ground in the city maps until I get my MD skilled up. You can't do anything against a squad of MDs running around flux + MDing everything in sight. When the tournament starts we'll see just how far corps are willing to go with the explosion spam.

It 3 were the max then they shouldn't even have imperial drop uplinks. There would be no use for them in light of having allotek, guaged, and flux, unless they were made the only ones Team based, which currently is not the case.

then we'd still have the same problem, TP's would just make 8 people drop 20+ proto links in the city instead of dedicating 2 people to the task and the rest purely to killing. You limit the meta, not evolve it. And it wouldn't even be well done.

The spam of explosives is much more of an issue than drop uplinks ever has been. The hellstorm matches were rediculius but they also could have been avoided if people had destroyed them. We had people walk right past uplinks to hack an objective and it just didn't work.

Better solution would be to remove team spawning on uplinks in FW in PC altogether. That way we aren't forced to use imperial drop uplinks and the meta evolves into ensuring you have enough uplinks per squad, but too many just becomes irrelevant since only 6 people can ever spawn on them.

Diminishing returns on spam is the proper solution imho.

The meta would just evolve to me or more switching between squads to drop 3 proto links per squad and then any on top of it is gravy.

And the counter resets. It shows your team and the other teams amount of uplink available in the deploy screen under the mcc hp.

Its too effective. Its better than tactics

Isn't it supposed to be a part of tactics?

Is spamming hadoken in street fighter a tactic?

I hate how weapons in this game spam 'bullets'. CCP should really look into fixing this.

**Sigh**

Whatever menaces you'll face on the battlefield, you have to constantly adapt your tactics, find counters, choose offensive of defensive actions in real-time. You have to be prepared for everything you can expect ...and more!

If your house gets flooded, you can't just whine about water being OP!

You have to plan ahead, find solutions and be able to apply them.

Work your butt out a little.

Efficient use of gear and tactics shouldn't be automatically greeted by a nerf request.

Easy fix to that... uplinks self destruct when you swap squads.

Again you lead back to CCP having introduced uplinks with no purpose. What purpose would having imperial drop uplinks ever serve? Alloteks take up less room, guaged have more active, flux have less spawn time, and quantum have more spawn, imperials would be pointless.

The fact that CCP introduced the amount of uplinks they did at proto level lease me to believe they were correctly antipcipating these sorts of tactics. I am against relegating logi's to only having 3 links on the field. This is simply absurd.

All that this would encourage is 10 people running proto links, albeit in most likely less strategic areas. You get the same problem until you hard cap uplinks, which is a joke.

Uplink spam is much better than having random spawns or team spawns on objective based maps like Halo when maps are this big.

That is a balancing issue that extends to proto nanohives as well, they should either be left alone and be the 'lower price' variant or should be reworked to be unique in their own way.

I didn't say anything about relegating logis to 3 links on the field, I said make them all squad based.

If you want the entire squad spamming uplinks and losing their slots for other equipment that should be a viable tactic.

It wouldn't be any more of a viable tactic than a logi sacrificing his equip slots for his equips....respawn and you get the same equips you normally run.

I didn't quote whale but answered his sentiment in the same post.

So to your point Zdub I'd have 3 logi's one for each squad and the uplink spam stays the same. Sure they would have uplinks in different places around the obj's however better to uplink spam in the city regardless if a logi's squad is home point bound because covering your bases...

Uplink and nanohive spamming is fun and strategically beneficial, especially when you're littering the field with proto level stuff. Stop trying to have everything nerfed and neutered, jerks; I'm sick of your constant crying over EVERYTHING that makes rhis game unique. Take your boring, cookie cutter asses back to COD.

Make uplinks self-destruct when the deploying suit is killed.
