The thing is -- say MCC damage was accelerated the longer you held the points. Then people will give up if they can't take the point back in the first 5 minutes. No more hard fought battles. What was one of the most fun matches I had last night (even though we lost by the hairest of hairs) would have been a redline stomp of boring. (maybe)

(also -- tons of modded controllers over there Q.Q. At least with the ACR you can hide the fact your controller has a rapid fire option -- but with scramblers it is plainly visible. Do the barest minimum and hide your cheating people!)

I don't want to see anything like this until you've held all of the points for a minute or so. They could have a countdown before the amplified null cannons commence firing to perhaps alert the 8 snipers that the time to do stuff has arrived.

There is no reason either team should have to sit through the full length of a game that's over in the first several minutes. This would be good for everybody Who cares what some sniper has to say

Even if they hack them all back, the MCC is severely wounded Forced Death

Even if they hack them all back, the MCC is severely wounded I don't think I've ever seen a pub match where someone was capped and came back and won. Either way there are surely outlying situations, but something like this would at the very least increase your likelihood of finding a decent match or two in your playing session.

Spademan Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 5764	Posted - 2015.02.04 22:09:00 - [7] - Quote I wouldn't say that it should happen from the outset. I would think it nice if it built up. Hold all points and over time they start firing faster or doing more damage. Starts off zero percent extra, still holding all and it goes up to 5%, then 10%, 15% and so on until 50% What're you looking at me like that for? I'll shank you I will.

Hold for 30 seconds, get 10% extra damage. 1 minute=20% and so on. What're you looking at me like that for? I'll shank you I will.

Meh, this is all just my one opinion out of many. It would definitely hurry up stomp matches -- that's unarguable.

It would be nice if stomps were observed in 1/10 matches rather than 5/10. We're treating a symptom here instead of addressing the cause. The cause is terrible payouts and nothing for squads and teams of organized players to do beside roll through pubs in between the occasional PC battles. Terrible payouts ensure that those not doing the latter (with success) are financially inferior and cannot afford to even counter with ADV gear. These issues have been ignored for so long that team play in Dust has eroded. I don't see anything outside of some items in the backlog that address the cause so we might as well come up with some remedies to ease the suffering caused by the symptoms.

If it's taking your team that long to lose then you should make the most of it and learn from your mistakes and or try to make a comeback. I have helped the team score narrow comebacks by providing opportunities for people to resist. By capturing a CRU in a badly defended place you can give the opportunity to make that comeback.

tritan abbattere DBAG CORE 17	Posted - 2015.02.06 02:14:00 - [22] - Quote Something i have thought of is having an objective that both sides have in a redline area that opens up if you hold all objectives. This should take a minja 15 seconds to hack alone. This would upload a virus to the MCC causing it to self destruct. your team has time to remove the virus or Kill the target if its just a solo Guy. Either way this would be the hardest objective to take but be the insta win. you can reward players with 500 points if the hack goes through. I am the all mighty Tritan. Fear me for I am a MassHole

Id rather spend more time in battle, making sp, than spend time w scotty. Patience is a virtue guys. Every commando k.o, every weapon at adv or above. Don't give a damn bout my kdr, I will kill you.
Grimmiers 783	Posted - 2015.02.06 02:36:00 - [24] - Quote Or we could just have an warpoint option for deployable null cannon installations, or that warbarge strike that hits the mcc. The null cannon can potentially do more damage but can be hacked/destroyed by the enemy. Just increasing null cannon damage would be hard to convey to the new players that might miss update info.
