That was quick....

…wow the game mentality changed from ‘Let’s play together and help each other’ to ‘Let the others do it’
with in what? a week?

So many games where teammates would just stand next to dying teammates without helping them because they are not a medic sorry, could miss a valuable kill in the 10 sec i’m helping you.

The worst thing is that everyone jsut relies on proxy to get the shit done and don’t even attempt to plant/defuse C4 or repair something. in a few days proxy will be gon from the weekly rotation. Then the dark age will come and I’m very afraid o___o

I actually feel it the other way, people start to learn the game and work as a team more it seems. Many games are very unbalanced though

If i want to get an objective i have to do it myself :confused: only reason i play proxy.

I’m waiting for bushwacker

Lol if you die in combat or anywhere close at spawn there is no point to get you up when you are not medic, it takes like 5 seconds to get you up when spawn is at most times like 10 seconds

I think you are casting too wide of a net there artful, I see more teamwork now. Messiah is a god medic btw :smile:

Sometimes there is good teamwork and sometimes there isn’t. It’s the nature of pugs in any game.

i wasn’T talking about getting killed at the spawn i was talkign about things like: beeing a proxy, in cover 5m away from the objective having about 20 sec respawn tiemr + 30 sec or more traveling distance so yeah PICK ME UP.

The only excuse for not helping your teammates up is when you are under fire or actively engaged in combat.

While I can’t attest to the exact scenario you’re imagining you have to remember that when somebody stops to revive you they’re also locking their camera for the extent of the revive.

The lack of ability to assess and determine whether or not you’re putting yourself in danger (and therefore creating two downed Mercs instead of one) is a huge deterrent in non-organised play.

That being said, as the map progresses and spawn timers extend (20-30 seconds) it does become increasingly important to revive whenever possible. The game is young (to many of us) and as the community becomes more familiar hopefully the importance of considering how long the respawn timer currently is will sink in.

I really hope that, that’s one of the problems with F2P games.

Ya I also feel somethign has changed with the game in the past week.

The other thing croping up more and more is that you’ll get 1 or 2 guys who are just destroying everyone else in the server, like double triple or quadruple the points of everyone else.

I actually think that’s what is leading to lack of team work. People are like “I ain’t risking my neck to help that guy. If I step outside I’ll get killed, so I’ll wait until everyone else clears the way first.”

Indeed, when teams are unbalanced there is little point in playing for the objective for either side. That’s when games inevitably turn into TDM.

Hopefully the team balance related changes for the upcoming patch will help with that.

Yeah atm it’s not fun to play this game at all q-q i was so hyped durign the stress est and it was awesoem but now? Getting basically curbstomped or curb stomp every round? No balanced fights, getting offed by proxys and auras who blink around dodging bullets and spam you into oblivion. I can’t remember the last time i had a good fight where the teams where actually balanced and the end result was close. You either rape them or get raped sometimes by people who get 40 kills and die once while you sacrifice 5 lives to repair an EV that an enemy skyhammer bombs away with one strike.

Yeah … not really fun, please restore it back to stress test times o-o

Part of it is youre playing against Hardcore et/comp players who have played this type of game for awhile. Wait for open beta to get more even servers more often. Kinda sucks but that’s the way it is.

(artfulSedan) #15

Well i ain’t a bloody rookie but when you get sprayed to death by things you can’t even hit or simply spawnrape the other… well yeah that doesn’t really depend on skill.
