Gah. Ran just pubs tonight; all 3 modes.. Totally remembered why I stick to FW now.

- So much for mu. Every match a pathetic one sided roflstomp. The outcome is known within 1, at most 2 minutes of the start of the match (maybe 3 for skirmish)

- Everyone on my team with MLT gear. The other team is comprised exclusively of proto scouts with rails or ACRs. Either mu is only marginally better than the old system, or it vastly overestimates my skill level.

- Getting shot in the back on a regular basis with at least 2 blueberries within 5 m of me who have zero idea there is a red nearby.

- Idiots drop 4 uplinks at the default f*cking spawn point in ambush. Slaughter ensues. I manage to sneak out with my scout uplink suit, get an uplink on some safe high ground. IMMEDIATELY some douchebag spawns in on it and drops not one, but two uplinks right F*cking on top of mine to farm the WP. This happened in two separate battles.

- Soooo much spawncamping

- 3 uplinks and 4 nanohives under the MCC on spine crescent for no discernable reason. This is more than are on the rest of the map.

- Clumping up inside a building or narrow corridor is apparently the preferred tactic.

Thank God I'll be able to live reasonably well off salvage and LP in 1.9.

General Tso's Alliance 4130	Posted - 2014.10.30 05:25:00 - [4] - Quote Yeah, you get those types of matches every now and again, but today, I had a really fun one where the enemy really pushed hard on a Domination match. Besides, it's not like FW is any better. Once your team gets redlined, your blues start thirsting for blood and kill their own. ... or maybe it's just me. I've been TK'd for like 4 matches in a row in FW last night. Not very fun.
Songs of Seraphim Murphys-Law 8	Posted - 2014.10.30 05:35:00 - [5] - Quote I know I shouldn't be laughing... but I couldn't resist reading the OP. In all seriousness, pubs aren't great so if I'm not in a squad with corpmates, I stick to faction warfare exclusively. And on a side note, I'm an average player, but I find myself carrying the team if I solo a pub. One game a few days ago in a domination (the one with the pipes & crows nest), I strictly run my Quafe C-I, go somewhere around 28-30 kills and 3/4 deaths, nearly 5k WP, and we lost due to incompetent blues. I tried. Maybe we should start an Adopt A Blueberry Foundation....

Henrietta Unknown Nox Lupos 432	Posted - 2014.10.30 06:42:00 - [7] - Quote Might as well waste half an hour waiting for squads. I find pubs bearable with sum1 to back meh up. FW? Even better. But solo pubs are pretty much a joke. Had been, still are. Give the Magsex some love.

Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 2590	Posted - 2014.10.30 06:47:00 - [10] - Quote Lately I've just been tanking constantly, not really helping my team or caring about win/losing (like that's new though...), and playing a game of how many HAVs I can slay before losing my own... And making a point to kill any infantry who shoots at me and ignore the rest. So Pubs still work fine for me. Squads are the best though, they really make things better, especially when it's with friends. "You see those red dots over there?

Thank God I'll be able to live reasonably well off salvage and LP in 1.9. i agree with everything except clumping up inside corridoors.. that happens in FW alot too if its a meatgrinder, though because IQ and skill average is higher in FW people actually try to flank behind hostiles while the meatgrinder is in process [[LogiBro ADV/PRO]] [[Level 1 Forum Warrior]] [[Level 2 Forum Pariah]]

Not that I'm even close to the first person to suggest it, but making pub squads only 3 people would probably make a big difference. 1/5 of a team instead of 1/3.

I've been TK'd for like 4 matches in a row in FW last night. Not very fun. There has been a bit more TK this week, I hadn't been TKd in quite a while and it happened in 3-4 different matches over the weekend. I had chalked it up to the Minmatar getting desperate since they only hold like 8% of the districts. (The godfather of tactical logistics)
