Also once your red lined, their aren't enough exits from the spawn, you can literally sit up high and see every single person that spawns and where they are going and easily kill them with your tank or a sniper rifle.
Bad map design and bad game mode won't be offset by a reset...
This to be honest
I think you're spot on. Reset are not an option, far to many ppl will quit, if they lose the stuff they have invest time and in somoe cases pounds, dollars and euros in.
Once a team is redlined, it is INSANELY hard to get out and push back the other team, no matter how good you might be. I'm not sure that tanks are the issue, as to be honest, tanks are maybe to easily killed anyway. For me it's down to maps, the only thing I would change is some sort of covert cover, not a cloak but behind a hill or something, where at least you could spawn in LAVs/Dropships "safely" in order to break out... or even if they could be safely deployed from the MCC. Also, I would remove the ability to OB behind the others teams red line.
Currently one of the biggest issues with teams getting curb stomped is the fact you can log into a match, stay in the MCC unkillable and make a bunch of isk and SP. I would stop that... Perhaps if you're in the MCC you're not considered active and therefore make on cash/sp all the time you're there and maybe, if you're behind your redline you make only 25% the total amount your could. I have seen "pro corps" doing this lately. When you have 5 guys in the MCC not active 5 guys sniping. the remaining six are gonna get owned whilst trying to flip ABCD'E. |

Everyone cries because they can't be in proto gear in a three days and then cry because there is a gap between new and old players. Then everyone cries that something is OP it gets changed and then it is not strong enough to kill proto and it gets a buff. Then people cry that they don't get enough WP for every little thing they do and then they cry again when people get points for every little thing and can't be killed in two shots. Good players are good and bad players are bad. No amount of gear, SP,WP, nerf, buff or anything else will every change this. I have been playing for almost a year now and I am a bad shot nothing will fix that and I suck it up and play or I suck it up and stop playing. The point to this diatribe is that all the cry babies got what they wanted and then got what they wanted and then cried and got it again. It is every person's fault who cried that this or that needs a buff, nerf, tweek, more points and whatever else it is they cry about. Yes there is imbalance but it is in the skill of the players and their ability to read, understand and apply the tools we have. Active SP is the problem and now that the gap between the young and the old or the good and the bad has grown and it is time to cry about something else. I am glad we are crying our way to a bland, boring everything is the same Call of Duty clone that only has 5 colors on the screen. QUIT CRYING. You got what you wanted.
To be honest
Been hearing the
"oh vets have to much sp" whine since a few days after beta on Eve... bores me there, bores me here.
Loads of SP just means you can have more suits of different types, it doesn't make you better... for that matter, I couldn't care less about my K/D ratio. I run in nearly 99% of matches a pure militia logi set up, I lose 4k isk per suit and nearly ALWAYS crack 1000wp a match, I save other guys hundreds of thousands of ISK in suits and set ups. You can run my set up with NO sp at all and still makes much cash and sp.
The real issue with ppl would rather ***** and moan about how the game should be changed to suit them, rather than using the same effort to working out how to make the best of being crap, just like I did.. I'm ******* awful at this game and yet still end up at the top of the leader board at the end of the match. |
