I can understand your frustration. Find dudes in your local to squad up with that have mics. These guys are usually better than your typical newberry. If you don't like the ideals or way Corporations operate. Make a corp of your own and recruit people that share the same thought as you do, run it how you see fit. Though this may be hard considering your Emo, I mean antisocial and all that ...

You can't really complain about not getting an orbital when you shouldn't even be expecting one if you didn't setup or find a proper squad

Prepare for a some serious crying here. Trolls lick your lips.

The squad system sucks, sucks worst that the last system. Now, instead of complaining about a squad that's not full, I'm complaining about being squad leader of nobody.

Occasionally a person or two will join the squad and I think, awesome, an orbital is in the cards. Except these blue dots go 0-6 and possibly manage 100 war points each.

I often get around 2000 war points myself, and to be short changed by terrible blue dots is a kick in the pants. Then I try to be thankful that they even knew enough to join a squad. But only after I begged/ instructed them to join a squad.

I bet I know what some of you are thinking. Join a corp. On to part two: I hate corporations. I've tried two of them, but all corps are the same. Full of politics. And to be honest, I'm antisocial in real life, so I don't know how to climb the corp ladder over a microphone. My problem I guess.

My point is I don't want to join one if I don't have to. Hopefully CCP will offer individual merc contracts in the future.

Most corps are full of great players, but lack any decency when it comes to crushing non corp blue dots. They fiend the red line like they are so thirsty for blood and camp cru's like that is fun or fair. They will pull out two tanks and a drop ship in a random pub match with a victory in the bag, which, I guess isn't terrible, but I still hate them for it.

Funny thing is, if they are not in their corp squad, they don't try during games and sometimes even quit. Catching them alone is ten times different. Suddenly, their invincible magic is greatly reduced. I sometimes wonder if its the same person.

Back to orbitals . . . while I'm praying to get an orbital (sometimes I do, at the tail end of the match when the game is about to expire, so I barely have time to look at my map, let alone get somewhere safe to call one) . . . while I'm doing that some corp gets orbitals early and often. I've seen corp squads get three in a match while I'm can't even eek out one.

I'd understand if I got a lot of grief for this thread. The blue dots that don't join squads probably don't read the forums either.

Vent over.

so... you want to play with other people in a squad but don't want to play with other people. How is this CCPs problem?

Get over yourself, join a corp. If it isn't working join another one. You think you'll get good teamwork by playing with randoms on a pub match?

This is a team-based shooter. Join a team and stop complaining.

if you hate the corp politics then just stay out of them. Unless the corp you join requires all members to be jerks to each other then just use it as a place to meet some good players, squad up and queue.

If it really becomes horrible then add the ones you like to your contacts and leave.

Then you'll still have a list of the players you liked without the corp drama (which I'm guessing is being overstated, but whatevs)

Have you considered finding/joining a public chat channel thats not local? More times then not you will find more experienced players then average and most of the time less corp affiliations and less chance they will out and out strong arm a map as often as a corp squad can.

Dude, if you're not in the top 8 of a corp then your screwed for corp battles and it's the high school lunch table drama.


Anyway, I expected this would rub peeps the wrong way, so bring it. Complaining, expression, forums, goes with the territory.

Thanks for the advice.

Welp if you want a drama free CORP with guys that love to ground pound and not worry about silly politics hit me up in game and I will get you to squad up with some of the boys in Red Star. I cant guarantee team stacks against them blue dots but you will sure have fun.

The corp of the man who posted several threads about how he intends to AFK farm because playing is pointless sounds like just the place I'd want to be.

But OP honestly just find a corp that fits you. A lot of the corps are a bunch of stupid drama crap, but there are also a lot out there that aren't. Find one that isn't one of the "big names" a lot of those are big names because of stuff like you said.

A lot of smaller corps are always looking for new people and usually the only requirement is that you are willing to work with other players and have a mic.
Shattered Ascension and numerous other corps like us are just some knowledgeable players who work together and squad up when people are online. Being in a corp you'll learn a lot more depth about the game just from interacting with other members who are playing it in different ways and you'll have the opportunity to be in squads that actually function together a lot more.

Also the reason you'll see corps drop in a lot of vehicles is because the vehicles are a lot of fun to use and have some really cool modules and such and when you have other people playing with you that you can coordinate with you have a much better chance of keeping that investment alive.
