Union118 TH3 STRUGGL3 857	Posted - 2015.10.27 21:10:00 - [1] - Quote My friends and i decided that we didnt want to get stomped anymore. So we came up with an idea that worked for all of us. We got into 2 teams of 3 or 4 and instead of going for the objective we pick out a location where we would only face each other and not bother anyone else. This worked out great and conditions were to only use starter or basic gear so no one will lose massive amounts of isk. Also both teams would have a healer so no one would lose suits even though they are cheap. We had dropship battles, nova knive battles, melee only battles, and more. Lots of fun and lots of laughs. Any poor soul tring to ruin it was either killed or the fun was moved else where. Starter Fit Suits are OP :-)

Funny thing is we get more kills and higher on the board for not participating to get the objective. By the time the scrubs find us its already the end of the game. Starter Fit Suits are OP :-)

We'd have knife fights in the hills. It was fun!! \o/

Any poor soul tring to ruin it was either killed or the fun was moved else where. I have to be honest with you. The urge to start hunting down you and your friends if I see you in a match is pretty strong right now. Don't get me wrong. I'm all about bettering NPE and I have even made suggestions to it that were met with strong criticism from Protostompers, but I do not approve of what you are doing. Why don't you and your friends just team up against people while playing the objective? I get jumped by squads all the time; I can assure you it is a very effective approach.

Not my fault CCP wont implement a system to just play my friends instead of all the tri hard stompers. Besides everytime we sync up and were on the same team we get wrecked cuz low and be hold the rest of team wont support us. Time and time again we fly in take point and hold it for a little bit but if were not getting the rest of the support we eventually die out and get taken over. Hope that answers your question.

If your able to get two squads going and instead go screw off in the boonies racking up kills, isk, and wp with no risk you're making afk players look like the good guys. It's bad enuf this goes on all day in Corp battles, but bringing it into pubs or factional then posting about it on the forums... Beyond pathetic.

You are just jelly we find fun playing against each other and not stomping the weaker opposition. Call it what you want because the game is being played as intended yet its being played different and thats a no no. Cry about it. Were playing to have fun, not to stomp or get stomped. Who wants to play one sided matches all day cuz that boring. Starter Fit Suits are OP :-)

Seems like a bunch of losers that got tired of getting shot down by girls and decided to go hide in a basement and jerk each other off, only the online version... Just as weird/pathetic. The one sided matches are more likely because of guys like you hiding and playing with themselves.
Lupus Wolf Minmatar Republic 325	Posted - 2015.10.28 03:15:00 - [16] - Quote Union118 wrote: Summa Militum wrote: Your response only raises another question. Why are you playing Domination? Why not? Domination is typically stomped because the players are concentrated in a small area of the map, so to win you need to take the one objective, which is pretty difficult when a proto squad has the place locked down. I a game mode like, say, Skirmish, the playing field is spread out, so if a proto squad is locking down one objective, just go to another one. Unfortunately, most people play on Dom (or so I assume), so it takes longer to get a full game in the other modes. I personally prefer Skirmish.

Shaun Iwairo Simple Minded People Pty. Ltd. 392	Posted - 2015.10.28 04:43:00 - [21] - Quote Kinda weird, but this thread raises an interesting dilemma: It's pretty clear that proto-pubstars have a massively negative impact how much new players can enjoy this game. It would be nice for the pubstars to not do their thing, but they have no obligation and more importantly no desire to as it's not a negative impact to them. It's generally considered 'not in the spirit of Dust' to ask them to change what they do for enjoyment just because it impacts other players. Yet this group of new players have found a way to play the game that maximizes their enjoyment, and we're telling them not to do it because it impacts other players? It all sounds a bit hypocritical to me. Something is killing new player retention.

Do whatever is fun for you. We're reminded all the time that Dust is a sandbox and players are free to play it how they like. If someone doesn't like how you're playing they either need to learn how to counter it or HTFU. If they find it difficult to counter? Stiff. There's plenty of things in Dust that are difficult to counter. Not fair to your teammates? Ever been an average player on the side of a team that's doing the stomping... yeah good luck earning any decent ISK or SP for that round. And the people that are crying about you boosting? Come the eff on. We've seen what boosting looks like from all the threads this week. A couple of friends heading to the edge of the map so they can have their own little skirmishes isn't boosting. It's emergent gameplay. If this was any other FPS I'd say what you're doing is wrong. But it's not, because this is New Eden. Something is killing new player retention.
Sequal's Back Dead Man's Game 1	Posted - 2015.10.28 07:15:00 - [28] - Quote Shaun said it perfectly, for your personal enjoyment, doing this is great. But from your teammates pov, you just abandonned them. You and your friends were as useless as those random blueberry staring at the MCC. The game is terribly boring because of players who hide in the sides of the map/redline not fighting because they think they'lll get stomped. But this is just making things worse. If both team would fight and retry, stomp wouldn't be a thing. Bring your daughter... TO THE SLAUGHTER ! - Sequal Rise
Shaun Iwairo Simple Minded People Pty. Ltd. 392	Posted - 2015.10.28 07:30:00 - [29] - Quote This game is also terribly boring for the average player who keeps getting thrown into matches with & against other players that are leagues above them. That extra little push from the average players rarely has an effect on the outcome of a fight, it's all being decided by who at the top end decided to bring their a-game for that battle, so why not make the best of what you've been given and find some fun wherever you can? Something is killing new player retention.
Baal Omniscient Qualified Scrub 2	Posted - 2015.10.28 08:38:00 - [30] - Quote When L.O.T.I.S. was still around, we used to meet up when we were on opposite sides of a match and intentionally try not to kill each other while jointly holding a position. For instance, in Line Harvest we'd get on the table top and both sides would drop uplinks up there and we'd voice in the L.O.T.I.S. public channel. We'd warn the squad on the other team when our blues were trying to get up or were getting close and shoot at our own blues to confuse them while they tried to concentrate on the squad on the other team. Much laughs, many joys. The way I play these days (I only play with my girlfriend now, running as a duo) is that we find a point near the fighting and hold it as best we can. When we get pushed back or killed, we set up in a new position and repeat. It becomes more a game of 'defend our territory' rather than chasing kills or repeatedly spawning on points to protect them and getting officer stomped. If we see a clear opportunity to hack a point or take out a vehicle (we often run commandos with PLC's, me Minmando and her Galmando) we do so but we try our best not to chase people who run out of range of the limits of our 'territory' because doing so usually leads to running into a group of reds and getting slaughtered. It's actually a very effective means of helping the team since we can help push back or hold off the enemy team as our team regroups after losing an objective while also providing covering fire while our team pushes back in. It also takes a lot of the stress out of Dust as we aren't worrying about kills, wins or points. We are just fire support and when we are on a team that is actually trying, we make a pretty decent impact with just the two of us. I would recommend people to try this out as it's a great way to reduce the stress of Dust while also helping the team. añ¼añ+añ¦-añ¬añ+añƒañ¦-añÿañ¿añ+añ+añ¦-añªañ+añùañ¿aÑìaññ *"Baal comes...and destruction follows him like a storm."* añ¿añ+añ¦añ¿aÑìaññañ¦añ+añ¿aÑìañºañòañ+añ¦añ+aññ-añªañ+añùañ¿aÑìaññ-añ¦añ¦añÖaÑìañù
