Yesterday I was in a match it was a Dom. Before the match even started I made a squad and in that squad it was only me. ONLY ME No body else ok.
I spawned a bunch of uplinks but the STUPID RED DOTS kept destroying them so I'm like Ok Little ******* you want to kill my uplinks, Fine then I'll shoot all your asses. As the match progressed I was looking at the WP number and I was shocked to have 3200 WP so I'm like Yes now I can call in a OB.
Go to the D pad and NOTHING. How is this fair that I'm the only one in the team to get so much WP and no OB in the end.
This needs to be addressed ASAP.
OB requirements should be based on the size of the number of mercs in a Squad. Like For example,
1 Merc = 1000 WP 2 Mercs = 2000 WP 3 Mercs = 3000 WP 4 Mercs = 4000 WP 5 Mercs = 5000 WP 6 Mercs = 6000WP
This is why you implemented OB's in the game. Don't limit the use of them but also they shouldn't be abused.
Why can't there be different types of OB instead of just ONE Type. In FW I've seen some pretty cool ones. red lasers, Blue lasers, and Plus lasers.

Why make squads when 6ppl x 1000WP = 6 orbitals rather than 1sqd(6 ppl) x 6000wp = 1 Orbital?

If a squad has 6 mercs then they need to get 6000WP to get 1 OB So that would make each Merc in that Squad to get 1000 WP at least so the total can be 6000WP for that squad.. If another squad has 3 mercs then they need to get 3000 WP for again 1 OB.

I, too, would appreciate four or five personal orbitals in a match. I'm not sure anyone else would, though, as with a squad of logis you could abuse the guardian points and lay down a never ending rain with six 'unsquadded' people.
The forums have ruined me.

I'm probably one of the best logi in pubs, and I easily avg 2 to 3 k wp soloing, sometimes even in reg ambush. The 5k wp is fair; were you not here the past two years for OB spam? It made pubstomps 10x worse, and it stopped non-pc farming corp players from fielding proto suits. I do agree that it would be nice to have something like ones in fw. Ex: 2,500 orbital kills off only shields and equipment 5,000 orbital nuke kills everything still |

It was doubled. Somehow a handful of players have figured out how to game the system and farm at least 3000 WPs per player every match. Put that into a full squad and you got yourself a recipe for abused orbitals. Some players have even been spotted earning almost 6000 WPs in a single match and that's just for one player.

Nope. Does the 5000WP lmit apply to a 6 merc Squad? There is No way I can get 5000WP being alone in my squad.

I know, but if each of those mercs weren't in a squad they'd each get an orbital, so you're essentially losing out on 2-5 orbitals by being in a squad of 3-6ppl.

You're idea is just stupid. Why make a 6 man squad that'll only get one orbital with 6000 WPs when you can make 6 one man squads that can get 6 orbitals with 6000 WPs. Hell, there's been matches where I alone have gotten 5000 WPs (isn't too hard to do with uplinks and then switching to a hmg); and 2-3 others getting 2k+ and a handful getting 1k+. In a match like that OB's would fall like candy out of a pinata.

Does anyone think the 5k threahold for OB's is too high?
Have you considered a career in costumed aggression?

Not me. When you have experienced as much orbitals as we did during the past 24 months before the hotfix, you would understand why some of us are ok with this.

Read his post again.
6 squads of 1 player... each getting 1000 WP, each player gets their own orbital... meaning 6 orbitals available to the team.
1 full squad with 6 players, each getting 1000 WP achieves a single orbital for the squad... meaning 1 orbital is available to the team.
What you are asking for is a hilariously terrible idea.

orbitals shouldnt be easy to earn with 1 person, hence why the increase in WP needed
and I could solo earn orbitals.. kind of stupid hell there were times when we were getting 1 OB each in a 4 man squad
we were in 1 match where the other side got 1 in under 2 minutes and so we decided to see if we could figure out how
got 3 people in a tank with rails, dropped the defend order on them and they started blowing up installations, tried to keep up with them an get a repair tool on the tank but it never seemed to work out well
think the best we got was 2.5 minute orbital.. never did figure out how they did it
in anycase orbitals were too easy to get.. this is good |
