redlines are abused by:
camping in redline installations camping in the MCC railgun sniping. vehicle re heal behind closed borders and installations. sniping where snipers are the (in most cases) only solution. camping in general.
so to fix a few of these issues without making more, remove WP gain from and aerial vehicle map zone and from on top of mountains. cut back the length of the redline where it reaches the long length of the MCC behind the spawn locations, 5 point skirmishes are easy examples of this. if vehicles are taking damage in any form (fire or hostile attack) no matter how small the damage remove recall activation. that leaves no incentive to camp for multiple reasons, if you try to railgun snipe it will be effective but with no reward if you hand WAY back or on top of mountains for cross map ranges you won`t find much worth beside getting rid of some one else to move in (or out...), it also prevents vehicle recall exploit.
1 more thing, no redline railguns should be in view of the entire map, tankers can get kills from the friendly side of the bridge / A and DSs can be shot from there own redline (seen several times, its true) so move the railguns behind a hill or something if they are in the redline, if they are outside of the redline they are fine. |

Abused is such a strong word. The opposing team using it to their advantage. And yet, you probably had no problems pushing their guys back to the redline and waiting for spawn kills. Should we change that also? |

Might as well. Either that or redline snipe yourself and get a few kills. Its all the same in the end. Either that or pretend to be the reds personal punching bag and log off in disgust after the game, having lost x number of suits totally pointlessly. |

This is how the game works. If you don't like it ... Angry Birds awaits.
CCP made EVE. It also made DUST. Read about the various player interactions on EVE, the Devs response to same and then login to the clue server.

This is a terrible idea. To be honest you just have to HTFU and deal with it.
Getting snipwd from a redline sniper try counter sniping
Getting pounded by a red line rail then call in a rail and hit him yourself. There is a provided counter to every form of attack and if you ignore them and come on here QQing all you do is look like a whiney blubery

guys you still gain WP from the ground spawn, under the MCC, between the spawns, from the spawns tot he edge of the redline and far behind them so if you are pushed back you will still be gaining those WP, I`m pretty sure I detailed specifics on where and said that I was talking about being inside the MCC (to prevent AFK farming, of course they can jump out and be under the MCC and get the same thing but its slightly better, it also prevents MCC sniping from inside or on top) you can go further into the redline behind the spawns and still gain WP but not so far back if a DS were to go above you and immediately travel back he won`t die before getting out. The fact you all are staying no WP for being redline means I wasn`t specific enough or you guys didn`t read it all. so please emphisise on the part from the OP that wasn`t phrased out because I thought I was clear enough. |

while there is a complete lack of inbalance, and some very pathetic weapons ingame, I'll stay in my redline. Its a tactic, and part of the map.
now go miss lots of time and get kills anyways in the middle of the map like good lil lemmings. we'll be aiming in from afar, watching you run through buildings, staircase and the ground. |

it would be cool if the game had a system that was advantages to players lossing and nerfed the players who where doing better
kinda like when you loss you go into defense mode
you have Inf clones and the attacking force has limited clones |

you have aiming bolded, so you say it takes more skill to aim while all the things (long list) people do on the battlefield (yes, you are not on the battlefield btw) isn`t as hard as hiding way behind the redline? balls of an 8 year old (note the jibe here, most people miss it). I mean, how much more expensive is your tank or sniper that its worth more then everyone else's who fights? they can`t fight back. its that clear over advantage that needs to be removed (again, specifics on where, you can still gane points from the redline if you are redlines because its not near where you would be innless you are cowarding further back, up or camping/MCCfarming). |

You sound mad so here is a picture just for you.... http://images.cafepress.com/image/32833087_400x400.jpg
But yeah, likes make all those 2m+ tanks and all the snipers have to sit in middle of the map, you should go back to cod where quick scoping is the way to play, this isn't just a fps. I hate snipers and tanks in red too but the more people derping like that on enemy team the less they have to cap objectives. |

fully honest, I`m not mad just feel a bit motivated to get some stuff done in here and DS are Is pause since they detailed a few fixes and stuff so its a wait and see, of course there's still room to fix some things beside what they mentioned so I`ll make those threads to but I thought this was a need.

End of the day: Redline snipers CAN BE COUNTER SNIPED, watched a thale go down via an assault dropship last night. I've had - Orbitals, LAV suicide missions, 4 dropships dive bomb me at once, a team of snipers come after me, even forum QQ threads. Rail gun tankers: Supress them, suicide La dai missions, rail gun them back or even make a QQ thread on the forums. Don't want to get sniped, atm thats easy, don't stop moving. Don't want to be railed, dont drive your crappy lav's or somas in a straighlin towards the enemy redline. Thales are priceless. |

I`m a pilot and:
the flaylock thing is right, just as against that btw, made a few threads. ADS on sniper who was where 9I assume in the redline but where there) this is possible but location is kinda the argument here. 4 ADS sure, n divebomb at once? well, not like that could have happened without them crashing, if it was a true dive bomb they would be slowing down either by aiming there nose up and get a little swing or 2) by spiraling down which they all would die from the cause of crashing, 1) they can still die easily from but not as easily. |

@Anmol Singh - I remember that, was i casually redline sniping on the pipes map, with Kaaly, saw you tank, saw a maddy coming your way, caled down mine, and the rest is history 8) |

Remove the red line. It is not needed. It does not prevent a team from totally dominating a map. It only provides a mechanic for abuse. It's either that or make the red line the same boundaries for each team, which would cause more problems with initial spawn in and MCC locale.
Snipers don't need a nerf, but they don't need a redline either. If I walk my ass to the edge of the map to get you, isn't that punishment enough? Do I need a suicide and hot countdown on top of it?
Besides you still have high buildings and other advantageous positions to exploit. You simply need teamwork to get there. Telling me to counter snipe, (not specced into sniping), a sniper who is specced into sniping; is the exact same as me telling you to call in a dropship to get to your "untouchable" position. All this with the added benefit of removing the other exploitable mechanics of the red line.
I think CCP will remove it one day, I just hope it's sooner than later. |

EDIT (forgot to mention rendering) I`m fully aware of rendering as a pilot and I`ve kept tabs on how well they can see / shoot me on the maps, Ashland / launch site (the space shuttle map) is the highlight of the issue since only objects can keep me safe. I`ve kept tabs both on railgun tanks in the redline and the railgun installations which is why I also made that railgun case to move them in a more logical place.
It was 4 drop ships, militia bs ones, all drivers committed to their deaths, bye bye Thales. For them it would have been worth it. |

Its not abusing any mechanic, thats our side of the map, what you consider redline, for me isn't. I am playing within the area given. Next are we gunna ask for tanks not to go on towers, remove all height, obstacles, distance from the game. You people want a round room with your dinner in the center? I don't.

Snipers don't need a nerf, but they don't need a redline either. If I walk my ass to the edge of the map to get you, isn't that punishment enough? Do I need a suicide and hot countdown on top of it?
Besides you still have high buildings and other advantageous positions to exploit. You simply need teamwork to get there. Telling me to counter snipe, (not specced into sniping), a sniper who is specced into sniping; is the exact same as me telling you to call in a dropship to get to your "untouchable" position. All this with the added benefit of removing the other exploitable mechanics of the red line.
I think CCP will remove it one day, I just hope it's sooner than later.
I'm a sniper and I totally agree.
The redline is a crutch.

Flaylock is a crutch, Caldari are a crutch. Sniping is using a weapon that is accurate at long ranges, and using it at long ranges. Red line doesn't change that fact. |

the flaylock thing is right, just as against that btw, made a few threads. ADS on sniper who was where 9I assume in the redline but where there) this is possible but location is kinda the argument here. 4 ADS sure, n divebomb at once? well, not like that could have happened without them crashing, if it was a true dive bomb they would be slowing down either by aiming there nose up and get a little swing or 2) by spiraling down which they all would die from the cause of crashing, 1) they can still die easily from but not as easily.
EDIT (forgot to mention rendering) I`m fully aware of rendering as a pilot and I`ve kept tabs on how well they can see / shoot me on the maps, Ashland / launch site (the space shuttle map) is the highlight of the issue since only objects can keep me safe. I`ve kept tabs both on railgun tanks in the redline and the railgun installations which is why I also made that railgun case to move them in a more logical place.
It was 4 drop ships, militia bs ones, all drivers committed to their deaths, bye bye Thales. For them it would have been worth it.
so 8-12 people came at you all at once? some one was giving them butthurt that match LOL |

no 4 pilots+4 drop ships = splat-1 Thale's, can't remember corp name now, but I'll ask my friend he couldn't stop laughing at me. |

I think CCP will remove it one day, I just hope it's sooner than later. Its not abusing any mechanic, thats our side of the map, what you consider redline, for me isn't. I am playing within the area given. Next are we gunna ask for tanks not to go on towers, remove all height, obstacles, distance from the game. You people want a round room with your dinner in the center? I don't.
I gotta agree with his reply, if it requires team work to get there then the hostiles would have it not the redliners, they would be camped when they land from the LCC, shot out of the MCC (btw, blaster tanks can do that, don`t laugh to soon when looking down at them!) DS / ADS would be assaulting you in moments from start and those installations will not help, they will be destroyed within a few minutes, I can still go on but that why I made specifics on where the redline "no WP " takes effect |
