 This is actually a repeat discussion, and sorry fellas, the conclusion/solution is the same.
Skirmish matches seem to lend themselves well to GRADUALLY learning the focus of team-coordination and team-planning.
Domination matches are almost as effective when players CHOOSE teamwork, or when they FREE-FOR-ALL throw themselves as lone wolves at the objective and last merc with her bloody hand on the null-button saves the district!
But "AMBUSH" matches have always appeared to be something we jump into ASSUMING it's every merc for himself and slughter as much as your two hands can fill. It always seems to be played like a MOSTLY mixed bag of lone fighters.
Ambush would be played and won better if you team-planned a little right before the match. Simply cry out, Milla is the uplink master--no one use smart deploy, use Milla's uplinks"... Celesta's taking a dropship to sack and hack the red CRU-everyone get in the dropship and help!" ....But. I get the impression players DON'T want the Ambush venue for team-responsibilities and attachments----ya'll want it for rapid runnin-n-gunnin.
We can't have Ambush as Free-For-All, every merc for herself, ...and then ask for A-I to do some kind of SMART-spawning for us. If we play the Ambush thought-free and team-free, then we should be "dumped" on battlefield thought-free and have no probs.
'SMART' is what CCP kinda keeps trying to reward and encourage us to do.... not get as a service from the game.
That's why Aderak's and Lithkul's comments are the onew that own this thread.
I think Aderak's comment gives you the keys to the car: DON'T use Smart-Deploy, EVER! Use players' uplink equipment---your chances with a manual uplink are better bet than "smart-deploy".
And Lithkul's comment escorts you and gets you onto the freeway: Hook up with the best equipment users you can find (like in EVE, that only comes from exposure and chance meetings during skirmish matches, etc.) SOCIALIZE.
Often you THINK you're dropping uplinks in clever places, and you get sadly notified that you've only got level-2 cleverness, in a world full of level-7cleverness. |
