Also, I have no idea what games you are in because mine are always littered with Uplinks. Sucks for me because I want those points!

Where are you placing your uplinks now .?. because with these turbo boosters , there's no where you can put them except high towers because anywhere else and there done for .

Seriously Myo's need to have the biggest CPU / PG drain , bigger then Kinkat's and they need a stacking tax that's noticeable .

Seems like everyone is hopping around , even heavies .

Seems like with every patch , more tactics are taken out of the game play and elements from other games are added .

Please don't derail this into a Frogger thread, we have enough of those...

We can change it from Uplinks to Myrofibril if you so insist. O.o

But I was talking about how he was too lazy to place uplinks as his excuse was "jumping players". They tend not to jump when you kill them.

They should fix the AmarrLogi bonus, so that it still applies even when you die. This would help a lot.

If the end result is farming WP then I guess I'd agree.

But if the end result was to allow for more flexibility in placing uplinks as you push into various areas of the map with your squad, I'd say your thread is a complete fail.

Hopefully things keep going in the direction of rewarding conflict and not passive equipment placement.

I may have imagined it,.....
but I thought I read somewhere that uplinks were getting 3x carried as well and they just messed up

Well running with a squad is not always possible or desireable.

My point is, that uplinks in backup positions have a high strategic value, and are depleted to fast, resulting in stalling the momentum of your team. Just because I put uplinks in places that are not easily found, makes me a wp farmer? Seriously?

I run my ass of in many matches to resupply my team, and keep the links up, and that makes me a wp farmer? In my opinion matches are onesided because the loosing side often can't keep the momentum due to the scarcety of links. So if they see no links on the map, they know, if they run to the point, they'll be on their own, and will be slayn by the proto hordes with blood in their eyes. I want to change that by giving more possibilitys to keep up the momentum for the weaker team. That should be in your interest for good battles.
Or do you prefer your catch the redberry runaround protostomps so much? I can make wp galore either way. If i'm just about these, I would put the links on the highest roof at all times, since that's guaranteed points AND a guaranteed loss for my team!

Hi Rattati,

why on earth are you constantly nerfing the EQ players...?

Who has asked for this final nail in the coffin of the uplink? The change to half the amount of spawns with only compensating with 1! extra UL on advanced is completly pathetic.

Let me elaborate, we already have way to few links in the field since the bandwith changes you put in. In most pubs I play in, there seem to be 1-3 uplinkers at most. Usually I'm one of them. I try to find good spots which might take some time, and if the spots are good, the links are exausted within les then 1-2 minutes. So what am I supposed to do, have at least two uplinks for each location and cycle through suits and always bring proto just to have enough spawns?

I often end up dying and my links are already exausted, and nobody had the wisdom to put more down...


I hate this change with a vengeance, since it AGAIN favors the Proto scrubs who don't die and run in logi trains. They will have links at all times, but these will always be where they are, no more strategic backup links for longer periods, because they run out all the time.

This also makes matches more unbalanced, since who ever has perma linkers - wins, and if the link guys decide to go AV, they loose links (because of BW) and usually will spawn with hives to resupply their AV. This is making matches just much more of a drag because you have to run longer ways to get back into the action.

Please please Rattati, make it at least that we can choose, have the quantum variants work as before, so that we can put down some links in safe places that last a little longer.

From patch to patch, the link situation worsens, I actually would like to see even a BW reduction for links, since most of the matches I loose are lost because of to few links.


HOWEVER, I like the change for the hives, because it makes sense here! For the links however it only makes the situation worse. I really have less and less fun with the EQ changes, it becomes more and more a chore to support your team. You are locked into a logi suit and can't do anything else, just to keep the momentum of your team, and still you die to the smallest arms fire because you need some speed to get around the map quicker.

The only guys who like these changes are the slayers in fast suits, because they don't need to check for links anywhere, since they insta deplete anyway. It's harder and harder to get your team back into action, but that seems to be wanted anyway!

So happy stomping, to all the proto scrubs, I'll just leave the match in the future, as soon as I see a linkless map on the respawn screen. It's just not worth the hassle!

You're absolutely right. Uplinks should be removed from the game immediately and replaced with antipersonnel mines.

I agree

Although I haven't personally been in too many matches where there are no uplinks (I'm usually dropping them )

Uplinks have had a nerf every major update it seems
( I'm not sure if this has to do with trying to improve game performance)

You could say in echo it was two because mirofibs have made tracking/killing uplinks easier

Reduced spawns should = reduced bandwidth

maybe there is some data the devs are seeing that shows they were being abused or felt that uplinks should require some kind of babysitting ?

I have no sympathy over uplinks. they're more damaging to the game and balance than any other thing in the game

Pretty sure it does. I spawned on my own link and 2 seconds were shaved off from the timer as soon as I hit X. Maybe it's displayed as having extra time, but in reality, it doesn't.
