It's still the same. Blueberries don't attack the objectives. Folks just sit behind cover, never pushing forward or flanking. You got 5 people trying to hack an objective but no one is watching their six (Just why in the hell you need more than one person hacking is beyond me). Everyone wants to be a sniper only killing 2 folks per match (I'm sorry but some of you snipers **** me off. If we are losing, get out your hiding spot and help out!!)

Is this just me? I get so pissed that I leave and go play ambush. I can count on my hand how many times I had a good battle in Skirm and Dom. And no, I didn't win them all either. It was just an overall good game.

It's not "just you," but you're clearly part of the problem.

Why are you playing skirmish or dom without a squad on mics in the first place? YOU are one of these people that are causing these matches to be clusterf***s.

Either:

A. get into squads and play the game as the squad based shooter it's meant to be

or

B. stop complaining about no one being in squads or working together

I mean, can you even be any more hypocritical. ffs

Bittersteel the Bastard WarRavens League of Infamy 448	Posted - 2013.08.30 19:43:00 - [2] - Quote Whenever I go into dom it's a good fight most of the time (very rarely is one team redlined). I usually always roll with a squad because it's just more fun that way and usually the blueberries follow our lead when we try to push an objective. If we start hacking they come in there and speed the hack up or just look around like meat shields.
Jimbo1337 Pure Innocence. EoN. 1	Posted - 2013.08.30 19:47:00 - [3] - Quote I run solo almost all the time and I completely agree with everything that you said. It is amazing how many times that I will hack the objective on a domination match by myself and suddenly see 10 blueberries come out from their rock. They will stomp around the hacked objective like they have taken over the world. It is down right frustrating how people never go for the task at hand until it is safe for their k/d
HandOGod Taints of Tartarus 118	Posted - 2013.08.30 19:55:00 - [4] - Quote Never forget. We're all blueberries to someone else It helps to squad up and say "hey, I'm going for Alpha" and if your in a good squad a couple respond "coming" Many players are not clairvoyant and won't follow a random blueberry, because all blueberries are stupid

BUT...there is no excuse as to which objective to go for when there is only one on the map....

Interplanetary Insanitarium Fraternity of St. Venefice Amarr Empire 178	Posted - 2013.08.30 20:44:00 - [14] - Quote Running solo is pretty much the only way I play. I'll squad up with other people and help protect them either as a HMG or Forge heavy, or I push objectives and keep people repped with my commando. But it's usually 40% for being on a decent, dominating random squad. As long as they're good at the game and try to push for objectives and we're not opposing a team of full squads of corp members that are stomping us with better teamwork I'll pull my own weight. And hacking an objective with a bunch of people helps in two ways: 1) The hack gets completed wayyyyyyyyy fast. 2) If there's an enemy sniper camping the objective he won't be able to kill everyone fast enough to stop the hack.

Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 197	Posted - 2013.08.30 21:27:00 - [17] - Quote I look at the roster before the game. If it has a premade squad of known leet protostompers and I'm not on their team I either leave, do something other than stupidly charge the objective as an assault, go for personal kills or... Go sniper. I get more kills as a sniper than I do trying to shoot down protostompers with little support. If I am on the protostompers team I do the same thing only with less worry because they take care of the objective just fine. If it looks like the game will be evenly matched then I try to worry about hacking things. If I then don't see team effort I go back to the same thing I mentioned above. See this is what CCP in their infinite wisdom of FPS has caused. Is there really any need to do it any other way when it has already been proven to be fruitless. Sorry, I get tired of doing something again and again and like a mouse with a Pavlovian response thinking it's going to be different the next time.

Michael Arck Anubis Prime Syndicate 714	Posted - 2013.08.30 22:54:00 - [21] - Quote Well I hope changes to murder taxi and AFK will change this. As it stands now, most of the time it's active team versus a snoozefest team. I have more fun in Ambush but I gotta work harder to get much SP as possible. Sucks cause if I really want to get into PC, I need to skirm more.

Let Corps deploy Full teams, and match one full Corp against another. 2. If Corps are not able to deploy a full team, then team their 6 man squad with 2 other 6 man squads. Match them against another similar team or a full Corp team. 3. If you are not in a 6 man squad you get teamed with other incomplete squads/solo players. You're opponent will also be other incomplete squads/solo players

If you aren't in a proper squad, then you should get teamed up with all the other stragglers. There isn't, however, any good reason to get matched up against another team of stragglers. The incentive should be for players to put in the teeny tiny modicum of effort required to get into a squad. If you don't, it's your own fault. Losing because you can't be bothered to try seems reasonable to me. If you want to do better, get in a squad and actually play the game.

You only responded to a trigger. If you read my post, you would see that I say that I play with my corpmates and I've played with complete strangers. Yet, the problem I'm discussing still happens So I don't know why you went off on that tangent. No I'm not part of the problem. Even if I roll by myself (just what if nobody is logged on? riddle me that), I'm intelligent enough to support blueberries, to help a blueberry while in a firefight, to speak on mic and call out enemy positions and locations. You can do that without being a squad you know. I've played games that I weren't even in a squad but the battle reports shows my name as number one player. Please my friend, don't assume that I just jump in a match and have a fit about it. I'm an good teammate. I know how to play my position when its necessary to support the team. But it's hard to do when its only 3 guys including myself, actually playing. Not only are you fighting against the opposing team, you're also trying to make up for your teams lack of effort. The rest seems to be eating hot dogs and watching sportscenter.
