As per subject line. Amazing how many sad cases in this game log off or recall their tanks when it suddenly looks like they are about to come under fire.
Sniper killed a few and doesn't want a death to spoil their KDR? Logoff
Tank been badly damaged when the enemy finally starts to shoot back? Duck into cover and do an instant recall.
Words cannot describe the contempt I hold you all in if you do this.
Don't bother telling me all snipers do that either - my main is a sniper and never logs off just because it looks like i've been spotted. Most don't in fact.
I know this was a problem in EVE, the term 'Logoffski' was coined there - rightly or wrongly the RA was blamed for creating this technique.
Personally I believe the new vehicle recall is a disease - make them wait 15 seconds or more and they may actually think about what they are doing. Infantry who log mid battle should lose their fit and have a kill recorded against them.
Now got that off my chest  |

Oh if you kill someone it registers regardless, however the pilots often jump out and recall the vehicle so quickly that you won't get a kill. Happened a few times today, in the time it took me to fire another swarm (that would have been the killer), the tank was suddenly gone.
Pathetic.
And yes, any deaths (etc) that you have before logging off still register. My problem is the ones who are spraying a location with a sniper rifle, realise they have been scoped, jump into cover (or run around in circles) and log off. |

ATM as no tank can survive well against proto av in it's numerous forms, this will continue with the basic tanks on the field. This tank faggotry should stop when we finally get advanced tanks.
Until then paper thin tanks (ADV and proto av) will judge damage taken and run to recall. I hate tanks that run well into redline so u can't get the kill. Instead of using natural cover on the field and getting back in the fight
I don't agree that making vehicles more powerful is the solution to this problem. I have a fair bit of sympathy for tankers as I was one myself for a while before the AV grenade spam with nanohives drove me to quit at least temporarily.
These guys who do the instant recall are not generally 'noobs' with militia tanks. Some took a huge amount of damage over a long time before they panicked. Not basic items/skills by a long shot.
Generally I would have to say its people who consider themselves 'pro' who do this mostly (both the instant recall and logging before a certain death). Your average casual gamer doesn't care enough about stats/etc to do it. |

Yes but he is talking about logging off when things heat up, before you die. Got logged off by downtime yesterday and got the suits i lost back from that fight, that is fair and unexpected from ccp tbh  Getting logged out by DT is different, nothing counts in the match when that happens. You could run all officer gear, die 100 times, and get it all back as long as the match did not end before downtime DCed you. Pre-DT matches are different. There is no way that I am aware of that saves your vehicles, ISK, SP, suits or whatever if you leave a match (or get randomly DCed).
Yep, you are correct leukoplast, my problem is those who leave the match before they lose items/clones, when this looks like its going to be inevitable. |

That way you have time to try and destroy it before the RDV gets there, or quickly gather your squad to be ready when it comes, and then shoot it down on top of the vehicle for a double-kill.
Basically what I had in mind with the 'wait' bit. A good idea.
Anyhow, I was feeling a bit irritated and decided to have a rant. All good now, bad players will exploit game flaws and good players will not. Such is life
