Was playing a few games last night and in one we were lossing bad. 3 non npc corps one side 2 non npc corp and blue berries on the other... Well we were getting redlined and i noticed 4 blue berries just sitting in the mcc doing nothing but standing on nano hives and shooting at each other..... really just give up and hide up there while the battle continues to go badly, synergy gaming, why dont you get out in the battle field and help turn the tide???? is your kd ratio only good because you decide not to battle if someone better is opposing you??

I see several people with a proclivity for sniping who drop when they are losing.

I've seen this a lot of late. Like someone else said, I load a pure BPO suit, and so what I can. My KDR isn't some sacred calf to be protected.

These matches are mostly, not always, one sided. You either lose bad or win by a landslide. I have had a few good matches but only a few in all the months I've been playing. I'm hoping with the transition into open beta things will improve and make this game a little more like a game and less like a job.

Surprisingly, my KDR is above 1.0. I don't expect it to stay that way for long. I'm a logistics with a tendency for suicide runs.

I'd be sad if mine dropped below 1.0, but what are you going to do when you're 'disposable' BPO suit has used up its equipment or ammo and there are no supply depots around? (90% odds for a quick death, 10% chance of getting a melee kill.)

if it's a high sec pub match no one cares about your petty "victory" do corp battles or something

lolpubs, pretty sure we were fighting at C for a long while all the while dealing with lolmurdertaxis and snipers destroying the bluedots all over the objective while we carried you scrubs. Pretty sure all your guys went negative and ours went positive, so you tell me who was doing more for the team.

Call my corp out and I'll respond. Wanna skip the lil forum trash talk? Then nut up and set up a match.

P.S. - Oh yeah and ask your scrubby ass corp how many times we wrecked yall in corp battles back in Codex then come talk to me.

I dont care about victory or kd. I am hear for the enjoyment of playing a game. We are about to have an influx of new players come in and if tactics like this are being employed it could turn off people to the game... If you are in a respectable corp play accordingly is all i ask.

Sleepy Zan (Imperfects) is actively promoting this activity. It is his solution to the Daily SP Cap. He has a posting about it.

Saw him squatting behind two Hives in my MCC in a public Skirmish a day or so ago.

I would like those that don't leave the MCC to lose 2XSP. Hey, split it up among those that actually play, during the Beta Testing phase of the Beta Test. Let it override their SP cap.

Of course, his other activity he actively promotes is driving LAVs over Blue Snipers and I would love the same Negative SP solution for that as well. Spotting friendly vehicle kills in game logs should be a simple programming pass (lot of Ruby at EVE server land). Come to think of it, spotting the MCC squatters should be just about as easy.

Both actions seem like Kitten Excrement to me. But, hey, that is just me.

also on a key note the red dots on the other team we already beat them when it matters in corp matches
personally speakin i just get on to hit my SP cap and log off as this game is boring and pubs are boring if u good sir want to try hard in a pub then so be it but at least have the common sense to kno when u hold the majority of the points on a skirmish game u dont simply abandon objectives and chase kills which is what 99% of the blue dots do.

Sad that the game is going to just get the sp cap and log, and i agree with the blue dots chasing kills and not hold objective, any ideas on what can be done to improve the comunications so even in pubs teams can work together?

[
1 ccp still has voice comms set to OFF by default (REALLY CCP?!)
2 when in game it should auto put squads on team chat instead this way peeps with mics can talk

People just try to preserve their K/D and farm WP so they can feel good by being on the leaderboards.

I love the leaderboards because it's a great way to find out who sucks >_<

Normally I won't reply to these kinds of posts, but this is something i will address.

We at SyNergy Gaming have NO PART of "farming WP". That's boosting, and we don't tolerate boosters / cheaters. Call us scrubs, make us out to be not even decent, don't add us to your lolpower rankings... IDGAF... but calling us cheaters or boosters farming WP is something I would speak up about.

So kindly re-direct this comment to some other scrub corp. Thank you.

I have played with lance his kdr is the least of his worries I mean he spends like all the time worrying about his hair in the warbarge before the match. Really has screwed up priorities if you ask me.

a surrender basically?

If a battle is hopeless, why bother? I am not going to feed the enemy team more kills and points when the match is so heavily unbalanced. Plus unless it's a corp match, who cares if you win or lose. I care more about losing ISK and gaining deaths than I do about winning a pointless pub match.

Until winning pub matches actually means something in this game, I certainly won't sacrifice my hard earned ISK more than I need to.

I hate losing any match even public and clicked on this with every intention to troll you, but I pretty much agree with you. So you have a reprieve. This time.

As stated before dont waste isk build a bpo suit that you can lose in and maybe turn the tides...

LOL @ Free Beers thats 2 times you came in to troll and agreed instead,

With the correct skills some of the bpo suits can be quite productive...

see you cant reason with him he is in a noobs mindset "oh my god im facing a real challenge what should i do now?" "i know ill just quit because this match is too hard and go find an easy match where i can look super L337

@Sgt building a BPO suit wont help u much either if ur not turning the tides in ur best gear u think downgrading will help that? dafuq? :/

Its going to accomplish more then sitting in the mcc. Free suit free lav and you can go and hack some key points. And SC has turned the game around doing just that.

In war currency sustains the armies.losing for no isk reward is pretty brutal. Guarantee salvage to the victor and deny any to the loser. Simple solution. People will bust their ass if they know Balac or Gatsun are on the line

Those who sit in the MCC are a joke. There is no excuse. They are just afraid to hurt their stats, which means their stats can easily be ignored.

Know who's stats can be ignored? The guy who goes 3-17 in a corp match. I bet most people who are familiar with losing don't mind it.

I find it very amusing that you took such offense to this, when it was literally aimed at no one other than boosters and farmers >_<

Way to call yourself out

Would you say taking your tank and hiding in your own redline under a canopy (to avoid strikes), once you've realized your team sucks and are up against capable opponents to avoid losing your tank or stats is acceptable?

Maybe they were trying to farm orbital strikes.

I had the same problem in a few battles last night. Eight guys in the hills and a few near the back spawn point. I did my best to pick up a few guys in an LAV and rush to the far objectives but we didn't make much progress in motivating the blueberries.

When things turn kitten just spawn a BPO suit and do something. Anything.

I would say thats fairly homosexual yes. But is he protected cuz he just skilled up and bought an expensive tank and its his only one? Or is he like you said protecting his stats. Depends, earlier in a wipe like this i could understand if someone doesn't want to lose their expensive tank with a useless team.

I've seen this by your very own members since the wipe. I don't really find it any different than the guys that switch to BPO's to run out and get slaughtered, they are just being more conscientious regarding stats\isk.

So someone from SyN didn't want to lose a tank cause they had a useless team and sat in spawn. This has never been done before.. I don't really see what your point is, are you saying its a problem that we don't want to lose ISK/Gear/Vehicles? Ahhhh but of course why would it be about that at alll!! It must be about the STATS!!!!.

Do you keep running your head into that brick wall over and over? Throw away BPO after BPO just to have something to do for the next two minutes?

let me know where we're at.

By the leaderboards, you're actually one of the top corps... not in volume but in quality. You know this, as does anyone with a brain.

If your MCC still has half or more armor while being redlined, it is not over! Have come back many times turnig the redline around on an opposing team. Usually come in late to a game with a squad and are able to accomplish this, grant it that the opposing team probably was never really that good to begin with.

So up to the point where your MCC still has half armor, one should be fighting like hell to get those NCs back. I also find it a personal challenge to ninja my way across when my team is getting redlined, and pat my self on the back saying "if I can do this why can't others?"

I agree on keeping expensive gear in tact through the batlle, but scratch my head when people call in tanks, while being redlined, and do nothing but sit in the back with them?

I am the type of person that hates losing, no matter what the game is. So to simply give up isn't in my nature and I push out of redline until the armor is below half after that the game is a lost cause and thats when I say "F it!, can't beat'em join 'em." Pull out my militia sniper and start clicking heads.

Just tell him he is pretty and you will make a interweb friend for life. he isn't much on learderboard stuff.

a surrender basically?

Perhaps make it a vote for the squad leaders or something, Idk.

I will never camp out when losing, but it's tough to get up the urge to fight back when the other half of the team doesn't give a s***.

FACT.

Still though, I'd rather go down fighting than just give up.

Biggest problem I have with the game right now. People just give up and half a team can't win, especially if they were losing with a full team.
