And this is why every start to every game I drop 6 droplinks.

I only usually drop one, but it's always a good one.

And when this sort of thing starts happening, I bring AV builds and chase them away.

Even a low-tier Forge Gun can make a Sagaris retreat if you're good with it (my girlfriend is a better Forge Gunner than me)

drop uplinks>spawn camping. IF you get spawntrapped its your own fault. And this can be done to both sides attacker and defender. The only advantage that the attackers have is a very open field where the tanks have no place to hide unlike the defenders buildings around C. Where every Sagaris/Surya is hiding under when they get damaged.

Yah yah own fault. Not the 11 guys I'm with it anything. Arrogant ****. It's a broken game mechanic. Get over it.

I've not seen a Marauder panic once.

Will this really matter when the game launches? I expect any decent clan or groups will simply form up with their AV loadouts and end the matter. I think that many of the players who spend their Beta period spawn camping to the max and generally using dodgy tactics will pay for it the first time they meet a decent organized group.

AV loadouts vs vehicles is suicide. Only acceptable way to destroy vehicle is with your own (if you don't want to constantly get OHK by small missile turrets that is).

I respectfully disagree. My heavy + proto forge gun is great at not only scaring off HAVs, but also engage even Suryas and Sagaris' solo if I get the angle of attack right. But... nothing like hitting the Sagaris with two forge gun shots, and see them flee

How do you get your GF to play? I'd love for my wife to play but she's not the FPS type.

LoL garret, no offense but how does your dragonfly suit take 500 damage? I suspect whoever is firing at you is bad. (2*spash = 450)

Your being spawn camped. Finding you is pretty easy.

Tell that to the people I squash with my Dropship a they try to escape.

Spawn camped lol

How do you get spawn camped?

Zitro, all I've seen him do every match is cheap tactics and abusing the game. If it's not camping in vehicles it's running around with RE. He'll get his once they balance things I'm sure, but for now don't follow him as you'll regret it at release when things like that don't work. I've been in many many betas now and it's people like him who actually get the game fixed during beta.

Doubt it, he found a way to beat the system, only a matter of time.

I have blown Zitro and his Sigaris sky high. Doink! Invest in a prototype swarm launcher or prototype assault forge with complex damage mods and you can make short of any LAV/HAV or Dropship. Now if you are the only one with this loadout then understand your team pretty much sucks! Double Doink!

Doubt it, he found a way to beat the system, only a matter of time.

Omnipotent zitro 111-1 kill death could not get out of the spawn goon swarm good luck with this mofo yo

I applaud you and any of your team mates who stay till the end to suffer thru such an onslaught.[insert salute emote here]

...unlike some players who lve seen quit soon as the match starts due to what side their on/who their facing.

As a member of the CFC, which is lead by Goonswarm Federation, I have to say that it always makes me happy to see threads where such things are attributed to Goon shenanigans. I've got a feeling Mittens would laugh if he read this thread.

How do you get spawn camped?

Not exactly true. It's not beating the system, it's abusing game mechanics. Typically in a game, this is considered a bannable offense, esp. knowingly and reapeatedly abusing game mechanics. In beta, they want you to try and find these things so that they can be resolved before retail. I remember in another beta, we abused a system so badly, that within 2 days of them putting it in the beta, the DEV's said "WOW!! We did not see think of that." and within 2 days, it was removed via a patch (we totally abused it).

A lot of people say it's not abusing it because the DEV's "programmed" it that way; which is a bunch of bologna for an excuse. Using something in a way iin which is was not intended to be used. I still laugh that on lawn-mowers, there is a warning "WARNING!!! DANGEROUS!!! Do not attempt to use lawn mower as a hedge trimmer!!! Serious bodily harm can occur!!!" It just makes me think "I want to meet the person who caused this warning to be placed on mowers. I mean, who would do that?" Guess there's one born everyday.


In the August build, they have stated that there will be things to prevent / deter the Spawn Camping, as well as some changes to RE's (for instance you will only be able to carry 2). There will be some weapon changes and other fixes as well. yeah makes you made right now, but should be fixed SOON(tm)

Actually those people quitting as soon as the match starts are probably syncing with their Corp so they can play together. Its the only way friends can play together right now since grouping hasn't been added yet.

Sounds like Goonswarm is already making a good impression.

Honestly I hope they can afford to run tanks when grouping is up.

Guess what is going to happen tankers? You're going to have a dropship in the sky stalking you. You are going to have coordinated proto swarmers camping you. Their will be remote explosives planted at your escape routes, and their will be heavies with forge guns waiting in the areas that provide you overhead cover from the dropship with proto missles harassing you.

So enjoy red lining randoms for now.

So what you're saying is you will be providing candy for our assaults and scouts in 6-pack sizes now? Grouping means support for the tanks too you know. If you thought they were unkillable now... let's leave it at EVERYONE is in for a world of hurt come player corps.

I don't know about ya'll but when groups are up I'm running with 2 other marauders. It already takes 3 to 4 AV infatry to take one marauder down, what happens when there are three?

Running with 3 marauders you will find yourself outgunned... badly.

Wait the marauders or the AV infantry? You confuzzle me.

guy sounds like a mighty A$$hole , spawn camping is for unsporty jerks, spawns really need to be fixed , random or protected spawns around objectives and a main spawn further back from the batllefield would fix this sh1tstorm

3 Marauders with 12 players to the team means potentially only 3 infantry on the field to try and cap/defend objectives.

If the opposing team is organised and has 1 or 2 cheaper tanks, and some good AV infantry to back them up, you'll be torn apart FAST. Focus-fire on one tank, it goes down fast. You'll lose some ISK, but the Marauder pilots will lose more.

When we're looking at larger team sizes though, 3 Marauders on a team will be a NASTY threat because they'll be well-supported.
