DUST Search - I have a MAJOR PROBLEM with some of you

The problem is that some of you are creating a problem and you may not even be aware of it. It only effects heavys and some medium armor tank assaults. But it is a serious problem with us.

This problem is the placement of Drop Uplinks. In the search for secure and safe places to put the uplinks, People will find elevated and enclosed places. While this is an ideal place to make your drop link secure, it is poison for some of us. A space that is enclosed by a fence or a roof top with 4 walls makes it impossible to jump by a heavy or medium frame. The only way to get back in the battle is to kill yourself (if you even have the means) or be killed by a red (sometimes that can't happen either) or simple abort the battle or wait it out. Any of these options is annoying and expensive.

I have had to cook off grenades many times to get back in the fight. I don't mean to sound like I am lecturing you about your tactics but I just wanted to make sure you are aware of the problem you might unintentially be causing.

Remember we are the good guys.

Cheers

I understand your issue with being stuck on some building tops but you do know there is a suicide command at the top of the Neocom, right? Comes in handy when you get stuck or fall through the world.

Yeah, it's sort of funny. I am a roofer IRL. And as a drop link spammer/drop ship pilot I spend a lot of time on roof tops in the game too. BTW, CCP, if you need a roofer's input on how some of these rooftops should look then let me know. As of right now, being that flat, and with parapet walls around a lot of them, you are going to have some serious leaks in a few years. Just sayin...

I was thinking to myself they really are dedicating a small amount of a texture map on the roofs considering how often people are up there.

Sorry fatties, you should consider skilling into [Ladders] Yeah, I mean most of the roof tops in the game sort of resemble a commercial Duralast/EPDM system but lack most of the finishing touches. A lot of commercial flat roofs will even have gravel on them. That could be a simple texture that would at least make the roof tops look "finished".

Cheers You can always suicide. There is an option in the menu... Not that this excuses people who do this - to be honest this is one of the things that annoys me most - people who don't think about their choices of uplink location.
