TL;DR

I only read the first part. If you couldn't do damage while inside the red line, that would make pub stomps even more ruthless and boring. Dumbest suggestion I've ever heard.

I'd like to see it be made impossible to use orbital strikes on the red line.

^ you can drop OB's on the red line? I drop them on the MCC's all the time.



Ya totally man, you got the nail on the head with that statement.... i used to think PFBH was a good corp, but if they are recruiting scrubs like you.

Just "lol"

Ok. Hit up E'clipze. Im sure we would except it.

we touched on how lack of disparity of rewards for winners and losers would hurt the game in our list of gameplay fixes 1.0: http://tinyurl.com/abpgvnn

there is simply no incentive to attempt to win games when losers get roughly the same amount of ISK as winners, not to mention salvage. New Eden has an economy and can provide the perfect incentive to urge players to care about the outcome, its odd CCP chooses not to. top losers out at 40K ISK and their playstyles will change. [though there probably will have to be a -50 SP penalty for quitting matches instituted, as quitting to avoid losses is an FPS staple]

we dont support taking weapon dmg away, it doesnt fit into the lore at all. we think there should be a limit to the time you should be in the red area before u die and players should get 0 WP or SP for any actions there. no employer in New Eden will tolerate mercs that wont fight, it would be nice to see them hit the killswitch on players clones who wont advance into the field of battle.

I take exception to your use of the word except.

Unfortunately no matter what system CCP implements, it will be exploited in some way. IMO the current iteration is probably the way it should (and likely will) remain. As a relatively new player I figured out pretty quickly that redline sniping leads to pretty uneventful and ineffectual gameplay. You have to be willing to mix it up or expose yourself if you want earn more than 150 WP per match.

At the same time, the initial reply had it right: pubstomps would just be ridiculous if this were the case. If a team ever got redlined it would be ruthlessly hard to break out. Imagine a squad of heavies or a HAV sitting in the open just beyond the redline. They could just gun you down as you spawned without fear of even being damaged...

As an aside: another poster in a separate thread had it right - drop uplinks are your friend. Use them!

Ok. Hit up E'clipze. Im sure we would except it.

I think this can be solved within the sliding scale that CCP seems to use for rewards at the end of battle. Rather than a sliding reward scale that is roughly equal for both the winning and losing teams, maybe it should be tied more directly to WP earned. By that I mean something like 500-750 isk for every WP earned. Thus you couldn't rely on the sliding scale giving you 100k isk even when you finished at the bottom of your team. You'd have to contribute.

Gets people out of the redline. Still preserves a safe area for people to spawn into.

If there is a corp battle remember to hit up the MRA so we can report the story! Even if there is no battle but the challenge was sent but then declined the masses need to know and the MRA will report it!

So the team is redlined by the otherside

They are all waiting by the redline waiting for you to get out to kill you but you cannot kill them to clear the way to get out of the redline

Well use a tank you may say

Tanks lolworthy and eazy to destroy so that would get insta popped unless you run out at full speed with everything activated just to survive only to find out if you have escaped than an OB or even 2 will get dropped on you just to destroy your tank and anyone in it because they couldnt jump out with everyone waiting for you

You could say LAV

But 1 SL locking on before you leave the redline just to fire as you leave the redline and bang your dead or even mines waiting to hit you

Try to fight out you may say

But you cant clear the way and a hail of bullets will meet you as you try to come out of the redline and you cannot kill them if your in the redline so what you run out maybe take 1 out and die to 5 others


Im not seeing it working if you cant clear the way to begin with, sounds like a worse system than what we have now

You're a PFBHz. You're opinion doesn't matter because you and your corp constitute at least 2 standard deviations away from a normal skill level of this game. How many times have you been redlined so bad there was no chance of getting out? How many times have you been redlined by a squad of bunnies?

Now be quiet and go continue to ruin the lives of poor rasberries.

You must be one of the people keeping those rumors alive then. I have no problem being in a corp battle against you and your corp. I look forward to it actually.
