So what you do is wear a free dropsuit in Ambush and place Drop Uplinks wherever your team will get killed the fastest, and go hide, put down the controller, and have a snack. Most players will keep hitting the X button to respawn even though the default spawn button changed from X to Square.
Each uplink spawns ten times, and you can put sown two at a time. So replace after 20 respawns. You get +25 points for each spawn times up to 80 spawns for up to 1250 war points, thousands of skill points, and 100-200 ISK. You are likely to get first place on your team. I find Galen GaiaGÇÖs post very disappointing, particularly since you can get almost the same results WP wise by placing your Uplink in a fortified or strategic position where it benefits your team.
Abusing the player base in this manner and AFK WP farming is not the sort of game play that DUST University promotes. I am very disappointed to see one of our members posting such suggestions. |

If I was a director he would have been out of the Corp 10 minutes ago. Well, actually I am at work right now, but I would be heading home on my Coffee break and dealing with it! I am sure a Director will get wind of this before long. |

If people see that one location is being camped, they will just warp in to the safer location. But it does work. I explained why. You are missing the point. The reason this works is so many newberries in random Ambush games do not realize use can use default spawn with the Square. And I am usually the only person placing uplinks. The learning curve on this game is so high people do not notice how the X and Square buttons change. This can just as easily be used in a positive manner by placing the Uplink in at a defensible position where all the spawning blueberries can back each other up and have cover to hold off the advancing Reds. Add a Nano Hive and you may just snatch a victory out of a losing match. |

You should put together a top ten list of exploits you will run into as a noob as your next challenge. Maybe that should be his GÇ£Public ServiceGÇ¥ work to make up for causing all this drama.
It appears that Galen Gaia was just GÇ£playing the bad guyGÇ¥ to bring public attention to this problem. This is proven by the post he made on the Feedback Forum before he created this thread. While I feel his approach was ill advised, I have withdrawn my request to have him expelled. It appears that he does not really hold the views that he expressed in this thread. It also appears that he has not actually committed the destructive acts that he had claimed to have in his original post. |
