Yeah, I know it's been said, but not a dedicated post. How/when can we take the red line out of the equation? It shouldn't be used as a battle tactic; but that seems to be it's primary function anymore. Just disable being able to shoot through it and problem is solved......thoughts?
(I know I can't be the only one tired of people using tanks and snipers in conjunction with red line manipulation to practically become invincible. If you are able to kill me, I should be able to kill you without some imaginary "red line" interfering). |

To be honest, you should never have to counter using the same tactic, cause that's not a counter.
Also, if we are living by Eve rules and it's adapt or die mentality; then shouldn't the red line be removed altogether?
Honestly though, even if we took your approach it wouldn't solve the problem. That is unless you can one shot a tank with your tank? As soon as the tank takes a coupla hits, it will simply move 3ft back into cover under the protection of the red line until the shields are back. Rinse and repeat. |

If my team is red lined, then we deserve to be. I don' t wish to encourage everyone to bust out their favorite sniper fit to sit back and snipe from red line territory. I would prefer they were encouraged to branch out, everyone make a mad dash, form a strategy, or basically anything other than sit back in the spawn point. The only time you can really spawn in behind the red line naturally is in objective based games anyways, so if you sit back in your spawn and do nothing you are defeating the "spirit of the mechanic" by not participating in the goal of winning the match.
No coddling is needed so imo we could do away with the red line altogether. However, if you want a safe spawn in that's fine. In the "spirit of the mechanic" you do not need to shoot in order to formulate a squad, spawn, call in some support or vehicles or whatnot, and get back out there; passed the red line. |
