Why don't more bluedots deploy uplinks? How many of you have been in games where your uplinks get taken out, you die, go to spawn, oh look no uplinks!
Really blues, come on man!!!

Uplinks are the most important thing in this game, they win/lose matches. Its very befitting that they don't get used easily. Dude really? I'm not saying they should run proto links, please. Basic militia link placed somewhere 40-50 meters away from an objective gets people back in the burn zone quicker with the real uplinks.
C'mon man!!!!!

Really blues, come on man!!! Because I'm aweful with a scout fit and instadie. Assault, cant fit one yet. Would if I could. Sorry bro. Good news is I use yours. Much appreciated. Boy, if you can't fit an uplink on a basic assault, you need the learning coalition.

Justice Prevails wrote:Understand what your saying , OP. Once you reach a certain level of sp, a merc should have atleast one fitting with uplinks, especially the lonewolves. Don't count on the other guy, take some initiative. Squads might have logi just for that. Can't blame the newer guys though, they have to fit whatever they can to be competitive. Having uplinks may be a luxury they can't afford. I do understand what I am saying. I'm approaching 37milsp. Every one can fit a basic uplink on a basic suit, hell use a starter fit to keep it cheap!!! Those one or two links will help your team and probably give you an extra 300 wp= more iskies at the end of the match!!! Starter fit, basic link, dirt cheap, pure profit.
C'mon man, really...

Really blues, come on man!!! 1. They're likely focused on either their core upgrades (shields/armor/etc.) or they're trying to move up tiers for weapons/suits. Basically, they're just trying to survive out there. 2. They don't realize how uplinks are an incredibly easy way of racking up points with little/no effort. 3. I'm willing to bet that most would run with nanohives if given the choice. I was in the first category for the first several months of playing. Now I have a scout suit equipped with two cardiac regulators and stable uplinks, which I use as my default suit to try and get to the nearest/most important objective as quick as I can while placing the uplinks close enough for teammates to spawn and reclaim a node if hacked. I understand that many of the vets on here are openly hostile towards new/solo players, but please remember that CCP has done absolutely nothing to help prepare them for the roving deathsquads that litter all game modes. I know all points, I'm really not trying to be hostile cause I am very sympathetic to the new players. It's just very frustrating sometimes working your azzz off dropping links, hacking, killing as I am an assault player, die and find out no one else dropped any links, anywhere. I'm not hostile, just venting.

Really blues, come on man!!! I picked up on how important equipment like this was almost immediately. Where these players are coming from and why they don't get how important uplinks can be is beyond me. As a new player, you should be able to play for a half hour and realize this is an important thing to do. I think people just want to fit one thing and nothing else ever. This game is more akin to TF2, where you have different niches each suit and weapons fit in. You change your suit to fit the situation you will be facing. I feel people expect it to be like COD where you usually pick your favorite load out and then you run that forever. Also it takes less than two minutes to look stuff up on the internet. When I started playing, I was like,"Oh man this is a more robust game than I'm used to, I need to learn more to make informed deciscions!" Google google google "Oh I see! You can place useful equipment on the map to help support your teammates! And they have a type of suit geared toward this? It is on!" it takes less time if you find better p0rn sites Sky Diamond!!!

Basic militia link placed somewhere 40-50 meters away from an objective gets people back in the burn zone quicker with the real uplinks. C'mon man!!!!! Actually, most starter fits can't fit a Militia Uplink, because of the ungodly amount of CPU/PG it consumes. And any uplink that isn't -32% respawn time is basically useless, especially against a smart team. Do what I do. Don't rely on the blues for uplinks. Supply them yourself. Not only do you get a ridiculous amount of WP for it, you contribute to your team the most and backpack those stupid mother f*ckers to victory! Oh I do believe me. I'm just saying even a cheap link 40-50 meters away from the objectives, nine second spawn time is better than running from the ground spawn or MCC to get better links back on the field.
I guess they really should step up the tutorials for new players.

There's no way in hell we can make a defensive stand if we have to trek over that large bowl just to get to objective alpha each time the white light greets us. Then maybe you should have a fit with an uplink on it, then change out your fit? Help eliminate the problem, not be part of it.
