So for some reason I've recently been getting games on the American server and quite frankly it's in a pitiful state. Nearly everyone is either a tank driver, a dropship pilot/gunner or running an assault suit with an AR. Why doesn't anyone use anything else?

I guessed you missed the part where some people headshot snipe you from across the map, gun you down with a HMG at close quarters while watching your squadmate get pwned by the Heavy's Scout buddy with a shotgun, or Free Healing's Logi suit behind you when he revived you, repaired you, and rearmed you. Or my personal favorite, calling in an LAV and using it's super stealth sneaky-sneak motor to run you over from behind.

I would also like to say- why does everyone call in vehicles in ambush? On the AU server ambush was usually for infantry fights and skirmish was where people used vehicles. All of yougo on about how good you are, so why don't you use vehicles in skirmish where it's more challenging?

Ok, so let's not use vehicles.

Wait...

CCP please stop giving me US games as they aren't anywhere near as fun as AU games are.

Run in a squad, not a pre-determined one that the matchmaking gives you, but a squad of people you can talk too. Vehicles go down pretty quick with 4 forge guns. Big smile

Also if you play at EU night, its most likely you get people from US timezone. Well from what's I've heard it is separated by location

A legitimate reason: it's all they're really specced for so that's how they make their isk, it just so usually happens that the people who choose to make a living doing this get fairly good at it. The less legitimate but no less accurate answer: because they're stat padding scrubs. Case by case basis you can usually tell which is which. I understand that if that's what people spec into then that's what they'll want to use and I can respect that. I am speccing into tanks as a more of a side project to use for fun every now and then. But I have some friends in my corp that have sagaris's and still play infantry. I don't know why they have to bring vehicles to ambush when they're obviously going to slaughter everyone because there's no easy way to become organised in it. I guess I just expected that the type of people attracted to this game would also be attracted to challenges. I find it much more fun to gamble my expensive stuff in tough matches and getting that thrill when you charge into a group of enemies breaking through their lines, coming close to death but being saved by your friends in your corp. Well at least not everyone does it. Had some fun duels against you in my heavy and I can honestly say the few matches I had against you were some of the best I've had. You probably didn't see me but they were fun nonetheless. Anyway after a few games I started finding more enjoyable ones, but as they say a first impression is everything and this one left a bad taste in my mouth.

Are you deliberately misunderstanding the post? I'm sick of people nonstop calling in vehicles and claiming they're so good when they use them on ambush, where it's basically easy mode. Your use of quoting was in a good format (if a little overused with the "wait") even though you quoted me on the wrong parts. I never said stop using vehicles. This is only part of the post, I'll let you use your reading comprehension skills to find some of the more subtle and underlying messages. "vehicles go down pretty quickly to 4 forge guns" not necessarily true and 4 forge gunners go down incredibly fast to anyone with skill or practice, provided that the forgers aren't sniping from a easily defended area. Also telling me to run with a squad solves absolutely nothing. I shouldn't have to go out of my way to find three other corp mates that specialise in AV just to play the game. Sometimes I would rather play solo and enjoy the challenges, however being repeatedly blown up is not challenging its downright boring and a waste of time. Another thing- taking things out of context to make it look like I want vehicles gone, is a bit of an arse thing to do don't you think? Especially with your thread crying about dropships, when all I'm saying is stop using them as much in easy mode ambush

Put it this way; better to find something like this problem now than later on when the game is released. That way, CCP can try to balance it further. Except for the fact that Instead of releasing many small little patches and tweaks for balance, CCP usually does everything at once, which results in things becoming worse as they break more than they fix half the time. I personally hate that excuse because it promotes the "I can and should exploit everything and anything I can" feeling and once people are used to that in the beta, it'll continue past release. At this stage just about everyone knows that missile turrets are OP with their OHK's and that swarms are broken and I think CCP knows it too. That means there is no longer a need to continue breaking the same things and that people who are doing this for "the good of the beta" should move on and find something else to break. Also there is many times when this excuse can't be used. For example why are people calling vehicles in to ambush, where they know there's almost no danger? Why do they do it continually, while almost never touching skirmish? It's because it's easy mode for them and they like to pad their stats and go on about how "skilled" they are.
