DUST Search - People Glitching Dropships On Top of The Map And Spamming Missiles At the Object...

Right...

First of all, getting the dropship up in high altitudes is NOT an exploit or a glitch.
You ever noticed you could press X when you fall down from a great height to activate your fancy pancy sci-fi parachute?
And did you notice that the heights where that ability can be activated can only be reached by "glitching" (wiggling forward and backward while pressing L1 for example)?

Nah the controls for the dropship just arent good enough yet, it should be way easier to reach those heights!

In my last match the teams had some great sniper wars between the towers, drop uplink shehanigans and whatnot.
Now not too much effort could be put in this since then not enough people would be on the ground to do the grunts work, but to the victor went the rights to disrupt the battlefield far below them for a while, with some well timed game saving objective related disrupting headshots. It was.. dare I say it... a Sandbox experience.

I love those towers.

Focus on them too much and you won't win any objectives.
Ignore them and get annoyed.

It's a team game people, get on comms, device more tactics, use your brains.

If a dropship can fly it means it can get place's that you cant on foot. Why not pull out a swarm launcher or a drop ship even a forge gun and shoot it. even ramming it with your drop ship gets the job done. If this was a glitch then by all means fix it but somewhat it feels like the dropship is ment to be able to fly.

I would rather use the turrets on the dropship laying down cover for the team then use it to squish other players. If they make it so the piolet has to be in the dropship to be able to power the turrets then it will result in 2 people in the dropship shooting from the tower's. And that would solve what exactly?

It's just a cheap tactic I can get my ship and crash into them but I'd rather try to get it fixed so I don't have to bother with the scrub from above I agree it is a cheap tactic but its a tactic that works.... Just think of it as early practice of when the EVE players start to drop BIGGER missiles down on top of you. A little dropship or a MASSIVE battleship you decide.........

Look man having a pilot in the ship to power the weapons will most likely do away with the scrub camping in his nest cuz a pilot more than likely wont just sit in one place Very true. unless they are friends then they could take it in turns shooting.
James Trendall Doomheim 110	Posted - 2012.07.04 23:11:00 - [7] - Quote Ok so i have just sat on the tower for 3 games in a row ok yes i got a excellent K/D but i noticed that a forge gun mass driver and swarm launcher can hit you i was blown up ALOT while up there. Maybe im doing it wrong but i most definitly died up there. Also when a drop ship comes up behind i didnt notice it untill i was falling or being shot at. This is not a glitch and if they wanted to "FIX" this then all they need to do is lower the towers. if they lower the highet limit they will have to re do the MCC also. I think i will carry a dropsuit fitted with a forge gun just in case this happens to me oneday. Even tho its easyer to win if they are messing around in dropships on top of a tower and not defending the objective's
James Trendall Doomheim 110	Posted - 2012.07.05 10:41:00 - [8] - Quote OMG is this thread still going...... its been up for almost 12hours and still going strong..... Unless CCP tell us its a glitch its NOT a glitch..... If you press L1 hard it flys up there on its own without rocking the dropship thus making it NOT a glitch. Come on people just get out your forge gun 2 shots and its dead........ maybe enjoy the fact there's one less player on the field to defend/attack the objective's..... Im not saying it dosnt **** me off as it does when you die randomly from the missile turret but then you need to deal with them....... What about if your facing a tank what do you do????? you either run away, start shooting it in the hope you kill it before it kill's you, or you die...... Its not hard to take a free dropship up there ram them off or even have a gunner and get him to destroy the dropship.... Also if you land on the tower get out of your dropship shoot the guy using the turret via the side of the dropship you get a kill and an easy hack at the same time....... Learn to adapt to the game and how people are going to play it. Yes i have been up on the tower and i admit its a bit of fun a break from dying alot [maybe just me] but it gets boring after a while and you start to lose your skill with a weapon. i sat up there for 2 games on the 3rd i started to use my gun and i couldnt hit the broad side of a barn. Plus for all the people moaning about this whats going to happen when EVE start orbital strikes bombardments ect....... Are you all going to moan then...... think of this dropship as a practice orbital strike look up and round corners.... Its not COD remember we actualy need teamwork and to check our corners.... Anyway PLEASE find something new to talk about and make it a bit constructive.....

The roof is obviously not made to be stood upon because you stand on invisible floors. It's not like you can just fly straight up and land on it from any direction, you have to shimmy up the rear pipes and, ummm... "Glitch" your way up there. Maybe go try it out and you wouldnt of look'd like a complete numpty. The floor is solid up there and has color ect..... also most people hold L1 lightly meaning the dropship dosnt hover to high where as if you press the button harder it fly's up rather quickly and REALLY high. Next time you post on an issue try looking in to it first. Also its not a glitch and im not clueless. The one that looks clueless would be yourself.....

You can just press the L1 button harder and it flys right on top of the MCC with out breaking a sweat. Ignatius Crumwald wrote: Sort of like the "discussion" that your flight ceiling should exceed the draw distance? The draw distance is very low right now during the beta im pretty sure that will increase in the full build. given CCP said the one battlefield you play on now is only a tiny part of the planet im sure the battlefield will increase in size also. [I could be wrong but the draw distance could be something you post in the feedback bug section suggesting they increase it so you can see to the top of the MCC to help counter against snipers on top of the tower's.]
James Trendall Doomheim 110	Posted - 2012.07.05 14:01:00 - [14] - Quote Remember EVE players will be sending down bombardments so if you sit on the tower for to long your going to get vapourized by an EVE player so why not enjoy it while you can.

It totally is a glitch, it doesn't appear to be intended to get up there. It's not as simple as just flying up there, you gotta get next to the building and rock back and forth (or in a circular motion) to slowly gain height. It takes several minutes to actually get up there. That makes it impossible to kill someone up there, unless they are dumb and not paying attention. Since you have to rock for a few min to get up there, anyone up there has more than enough time to shoot you down before you can get them. If it's not a gltich to get up there, then dropships need to be able to climb to that height much easier. Have you try'd it???? i guess not how about you press L1 harder next time and you will see that you can fly directly above the MCC with out wiggling remember the L1 and L2 are also analog so the harder you press them the faster/further you go. Edit: thus making it no longer a glitch....
