well i just called a dropship and flew up directly from the defenders main spawn and hovered around the battlefield well above the MCC nm the damn towers and will gladly reproduce this for anyone else thats 2 stupid tp get a free dropship and do it themselves

this is what should happen





and people like this are exactly the kind of people that will get no where in dust . they will get kicked out of any serious corp and be the high sec miners of dust ..

the attitude of those dingbats will ensure they never get to experiance the real depth and joys of the eve universe because no one will want the bullshit crying.

now this bit is important be sure you understand it ..its eve, it cleraly says EVE, Dust 514. the EVE part is on top giving it prominance.. in eve **** happens , you will die , you will lose isk , you will get gangbanged by the latist cheap and dirty trick in the game to make sure that no territory is lost. territory = money and money = win . if my bankroll is bigger than yours i can just keep dropping armour till you are out of money .. and i win. this is not happy unicorn land . real players , playing for the win , are going to use a mix of anything and everything to kill you ... if that includes dropping tanks on building and dropships on towers ofc they are going to do it . if you are too stupid / lazy to counter it who is at fault? let me give you a hint .. its you

WELCOME TO EVE.

Welcome to flavor country.

I love how people are trying to defend this. It's an obvious design flaw, I'm sure the devs are entertaining the idea of making it possible in final release based on feedback, but to sit here and defend that you should be able to snipe people who can't even see you due to draw distance, is just the most ******** thing I've ever seen.
Especially since you are telling it to people that can do it, and do it ten times better than you, but chose not to because it's an obvious glitch.

How high can you go? I heard you can see my victory in this thread from space.

o look another troll thats not interested in discussion only his own self importance dilusion . who just wants to be right . Even when faced with the ability to see evidence to disprove his assumptions ignores the facts and remains belligerent. there are a lot of them in this thread.

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.

(wiggling forward and backward while pressing L1 for example)?

Sort of like the "discussion" that your flight ceiling should exceed the draw distance?

It's not a glitch. It IS an exploit. Hell I saw 2 guys boosting on 1 tower (damage ship + armour repair = points. Losers). While this was going on I took a drop ship and cleared another tower. Bu the time I jumped back to the ground, another Dropship was on another tower, too far to see. Repeat this for 5 games I played.

Is this game about objectives? Or about campin?

Seriously, if they increase the range that you see Dropships from, no one will use them. Swarm + hive = dead Dropships. Except when they fly out of sight distance. Or if missiles only went as far as visual distance.

I don't understand why anyone would defend this tactic.

@snake
Yet are exploiting the view distance. Like I say, it's an exploit not a glitch.
