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.

You're either a troll, or a really naive casual.

Not all corporations are the same, just like not all players are the same.

Getting frustrated about it and ranting isn't going to fix your problem. Getting off your ass and doing a corp search will.

Personally, I don't deal with politics; I deal with competent, active corps that don't do bullshit. the MSF is one such corp.

You make a good point, as I'm sure some corps work this way. However not all do. Some will look to include newbros in their corp matches. Particularly the forward thinking ones who see these 8v8 matches as temporary.

So, find a quality corp.

Dunno where you get your info from. Corps rotate their players through corp battles all the time. It gets them all experience. When we run ours, we try to integrate the vets with the newer players on every single battle we do.....

There are a lot of corps out there that do this. If you had a bad experience with a Clan, please don't let that create a blanket stereotype or you'll never enjoy this game to the extent that you possibly could.

I guess some are more concerned with reputation and chest thumping than anything. That being said, many corps are about the collective and are not entirely like that. I talk to guys in Ahrendee, PFBHz, KEQ, all the time about this stuff... and we all work to get their entire playerbase experience.

Vanda, we had you scheduled in for a corp battle against synergy, the only reason you didn't get into the corp battle that we had the day you joined us is because we already had the squads made up. You were with hell storm for a while, we knew you're a good player, it was just bad timing on that one.

You complained that you couldn't find a squad, we broke squads apart to make smaller squads to get you in with a group as well as invited you to our alliance chat channel with 4 other corporations we frequently squad up with.

You are being very honest saying that you are anti-social, but as far as not being included if you aren't part of the top 8, not getting into corp matches, a little more patience than the 3 or 4 days that you had with us is generally required as we all work and don't always have someone on to host/join a corp battle with you.
We schedule corp battles all the time, if you had joined our website you would have seen when they are (GMT and your local time), who they are against, and how many people have signed up from our corp for each battle. Instead of just sitting in corp chat waiting for one.
Long and the short of it is that if you want to be included in things that are team play oriented, you have to put a little effort in to make others aware that you are interested in actually playing as a team without waiting for that elusive invite.

Sorry it didn't work out in CrimeWave for you, you are still welcome to squad with us any time.
Best of luck to you.

CrimeWave was good to me and I kinda jumped the gun a little. I had joined the website. I dunno, I messed up leaving. But I guess I was not patient.

I find it funny that people saw the anti social part and attacked it. That type of attack is exactly why I view people the way I do. I mentioned the anti-social thing as a way to show that I'm trying to see things in a balanced way. But these people see that as a weakness.

People assume that I'm not familar with shooter groups, gangs, corps, but I've played other shooters and the dynamic is almost always there for assholery.

And lastly, if you say you're not into the drama and aren't much of a jerk yet disagree with this thread in a hostile way, then your a liar about not being into the drama.

LOL. Why do you think I got your back on that? And this and many more reasons is you wont find Eon on the forums much.

Change the title of your post to "GM Please Delete" and hopefully I will see you in the Eon chat to play some games.

what was hostile about it?
im trying to get the msg across to u that its about the TEAM not u.
U spent 3 days in a corp and bailed because u werent selected for a match
I have ppl in my corp longer than that who still havent gotten the chance to play much as well

u call me a jerk when u dont actually know me other than me xplaining this to u via mail yesterday
if u actually know me u'd know i try to assist and help everyone around me but i have little patience for bs

lastly ur back to assuming again


then u dont really know most corps/clans or just have very bad luck with ur choices.
Good luck in ur future endeavors but this is a team game.

Not attacking it in any way, shape, or form. Just stating that it was noticed, and it was appreciated that you were open about it. A lot of people don't say anything and it just comes across as them being a ****. With that statement out in the open, it brings a greater understanding to the situation.

Just to be clear, are you saying I didn't talk much?

we do have a hot head or two lol.

Join SMERG. We are awful but still get orbitals. This way it prevents the "unfair" camping aspect you dislike, but we have enough idiots smacking our face against the keyboard that at least 1 orbital is in the cards per match.

Also, we don't have a corporate ladder because I don't give roles to anyone besides my brother, and this system has worked with my corp of 100+ for years. From the EVE side we take a ventrilo vote and whoever is there decides policy, and I make the changes necessary. Everyone has equal say, just not actual roles to steal crap.

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