This is what the mini flux orbitals was meant to prevent. Too bad a flux grenade takes out more equipment than a mini flux orbital.

Pretty sure thats a valid tactic in any game. An infuriating one, mind you, but valid and highly effective. I was mostly talking about maintaining otherwise unreachable high ground where features that are designed to counter them are flawed/non-working (Flux OBs and what not) Though a jumpy caldari assault squad with PLCs or MDs could probably clear that, or Snipers like Aeon and Kaizuka were doing.

Nah, sometimes it'll give you a false positive and highlight the reticle red even if the round is going to miss. Especially at longer ranges. A lot of time you have to sort of plot where the thing is based on the flash-light in the center of it because the symbol will be off or distort your view. Gets annoying. Sometimes you can't even hit it because the terrain hasn't fully rendered due to distance and it'll turn the reticle red even though there's an entire wall in the way. Particularly bad on the new Caldari Sockets. Have a suggestion for the Planetary Services Department? Founder of AIV**

Jack Boost Zarena Family 720	Posted - 2015.04.02 08:29:00 - [21] - Quote I think, they do best. If this is anoying for you I can feel it, but... form tactical view: - They successfuly create new conditions and enviroment for fight. - You loose camped city - they persuade your team to leave and go to open space... Good for them - Even more they persuade you to change fitiing.. even on battlefield!. Man, your only 8 fiitings was enough. Very good for them again - you must adapt and they successfuly catch you. It is anoying? Maybe. But this is power of war. You must change to do best. Going only with one fiiting, again and again... with success is bad. You stop thinking and you start underestimate your enemy. This is sin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War Chapter IV, VI, VII, X , XIII ;) Not much time left...

Interesting strategies and counter play. Sniper rifles actually being useful. Tense moments. Extremely close score. What's not to like? I thought people liked the fact that Dust has more to it than just running around spraying bullets at each other.

Ooooh yeah, it was grudge match against Kane - yo. I figured he was the squad leader instigating all this so I had to put him down hold that wrote: stop watching when op spent a minute in the marketplace Happens when you make the sacrifice to have a reasonable number of fittings.

Extremely close score. What's not to like? I thought people liked the fact that Dust has more to it than just running around spraying bullets at each other. Don't get me wrong, I do like tense moments and close scores but when it starts to feel like you're the only one adapting to the situation it gets really irritating. I started off with the Cal Assault/AAR thinking that this little stalemate was going to get them to come forward because they had to have been just as bored as we were but when I saw Kane landing so many kills with the Laser Rifle I moved up. Realized I couldn't get to them because they had the high ground and there weren't enough coming off the silo to kill so I suicided and switched to Sniper to go for Drop Uplinks and force them off.

Varoth Drac Dead Man's Game RUST415 707	Posted - 2015.04.02 13:45:00 - [27] - Quote They had so many links, perhaps you would have done better just going for kills. Though you did win. Also, you weren't the only one on your team that adapted. It's further proof that high ground camping doesn't always work. They were sitting ducks up there. No need to force them down.

This is what the mini flux orbitals was meant to prevent. Too bad a flux grenade takes out more equipment than a mini flux orbital. This. We never wanted Mini orbitals to do damage to mercenaries.. The mere concept of doing tiny amounts of damage to a mercenaries shield after having to go through a 30 second transition to the UI and back to character control... Specially when the TTK is only a second or two. We wanted Mini Orbitals so that they could be used strategically to remove Uplink farms... And keep matches progressing and maps dynamic... By nearly anyone that can gain 300 WP. Instead we got a Orbital with massive Hit detection issues.

The Dark Cloud Negative-Feedback. 4275	Posted - 2015.04.02 20:29:00 - [30] - Quote Thats what you get playing vs me. If you see me in a ambush i will allways jump with a cal. assault, 5 myos and uplinks to high ground. You had Kaizuka and his squad on your side so we decided to dictate the pace of the match in our favour. The match was really close and if you expected to lure us into the city compound and beating us with strafing shenanigans then i must dissapoint you. Ambush is all about kill and not get killed. What i did represents perfectly that mentality. I knew that his squad allways has a scanner so it wouldnt take too long till they came at us. Enjoy the skill based matchmaking cause matches like that will happend ALOT more frequently. I make the scrubs scream and the vets cry.

CLONE117 True Pros Forever 897	Posted - 2015.04.02 22:29:00 - [33] - Quote ambush stomps usually are very terrible and last a min from the start. only hope for survival would have been a tripple rep maddy from 1.7. skirmish is a much better game mode but the stomps are still...horrible. but least you can hide in the redzone and hope you bore them to death. if only we could pilot the mcc. id end the matches real quick.

I mean, come on. I disagree. The fact that players actually care about self-preservation makes combat feel more realistic. You have to make smart choices with plays and counter plays. The sniper rifle is the right counter for the current situation. Sneaking up on you was the correct counter to that tactic. I thought it was a more interesting match than the thousands of videos with people spamming clones at each other over and over in a mindless brawl. Best PvE idea ever!
