I'm really surprised uplinks are getting so much hate, but really, its not that hard to take them out with a sidearm or flux grenades.The only time they are a problem is when you can't get to them, because the enemy team is beating you. I think the idea of equipment you deploy to somehow sabotage uplinks would be cool, regardless of specifics. There is no reason to put a cap on uplinks, limit them to a suit type, or change them significantly. I'm an assault, but I switch suit builds constantly, using uplinks at first, nanohives when needed, and whatever else as appropriate. They are a great source of war points, as they should be. If I want to primarily fight, and secondarily support my team, I should be able to do that. Yes, uplinks are a powerful support tool. As a powerful support tool, both sides should be using them. If the other team is all using duvolles with lai dai av grenades, then they are probably going to do pretty well. Not wanting to knock how good anyone is, but its not that hard to kill uplinks. They die to bullets, grenades, orbitals, just about everything except being ran over. They also don't move. Pretty easy to shoot something that's not moving. They are blatantly obvious on radar, they will stay there, and they show through walls/ceilings when you look for them.
Uplinks already cost quite a bit to wear, I usually forgo a sidearm to use one. Should they be so expensive you have to run a naked suit with the cheapest gun possible to use them? How is anyone having problems if the uplinks are clustered together? Its really dumb to drop them on top of each other, because then even a locus grenade can take them all out. The level one uplink blows, you pretty much have to buy up to advanced to make them useful at all. Uplinks are no where near as good as a cru, they don't have 30000 health and they don't have an unlimited number of spawns.
Nanite injectors rock now, so I really don't get the complaints. Anyone who has played since 1.2 would know, since almost always its an easy stab at the person and voila, they get back up.
I can't believe this has gotten the attention of the deva at CCP. This is as much a problem as the other team having too many players, the other team using guns, and vehicles hurting me when they run over me. |
