We all do understand the object is to turn beacons right? I'm about tired of winning and then the other team turns more beacons. We have 4 players still in it and they have 2. And then a bot on my team will walk right by a beacon without turning it to walk all the way across the board to attack enemy not and we lose. That's about dumb as hell. The ones who do that, yall suck and and a waste of a spot on the team

Close your eyes, take a deep breath through your nose and hold it for 5 seconds, breathe out through your mouth for 4 seconds. Repeat as needed until you realize that that this game and everything that comes about from this game is inconsequential in the grand scope of your life. Cheers.  |

You're preaching to the choir here. The fact of the matter is the game is set up to reward damage dealers and screw beacon cappers in the butt. A lot of people have adopted this no win no beacon approach because a lot of times wins are completely out of your control due to teammate quality.

Thank you, from the bottom of my daily missions completed, further along the event chain, victorious heart.  |

It's just like life, innit? At a certain age it does feel like being in a slow robot, plodding along to some vacant area to flip a beacon while everyone else is going nuts over somewhere else. I guess I've always been like that. |

of course non beacon capture has always been an issue in the game but with the new MM forcing 50% win rates I think many players are jaded and dont even try anymore. They have relegated themselves to the uncontrollable tides of war and just do what it is thats fun for them. Usually, that means doing as much damage as they can, and move on to the next game. Win or Lose.

Leagues = damage, damage <> league level, beacons <=/=> damage and leagues

Has anyone else noticed that when the 50/50 win enforcement comes in to play that losses seem to be ensured by being teamed up with beacon-phobes? I mean serious career beacon non-touchers?
Pixonic are watching you!!

Just today I had a teamate, in a gareth, mind you, who didn't help cap the main beacon on our side, and went straight to battle. He instantly died to an Rdb Griffin so I was happy.

He may have had the daily task of destroy X amount of bots or inflict X amount of damage . Not that I'm making excuses for a bad teammate, just reasoning the possible cause. Especially if he figured you had the cap covered, he wasn't concerned with it. |

Sometimes, i am one of those "idiots"... A few reasons can be:
- I'm hugging a wall, because one or more red(s) with Aphids or Hydras/Spirals have targeted me and if i move, i'm dead
- A dual Thunder Carnage is chasing me and i try my best not to run infront of his 2 deadly weapons
- I've spotted a team mate who needs help urgently and try to get to him as quick as possible
- A Trebuchet sniper has targeted me and just waits that i come out of cover
- There's an event running and i need kills, so i ignore beacons and wins, because i'll never get my tasks done otherwise. Selfish? Yes!
- My controls are locking again and i can't do anything
- The "connecting" message popped up and i am waiting whether or not the game sends me back to hangar or lets me continue to play
Usually i go for beacons, even if i am in a slow Griffin or Lancelot andi have to walk a long way (eg. on Springfield), but sometimes i have a different plan.
Kind regards from an idiot.

I have done a game this morning with a 4 noricum patton teammate just sitting there lobbing bangers at the reds ... our home bacon was flipped and he didn't even move .... I respawn take beacon and back to the frontline ...get killed & respawn ... still there lobbing noricums
what a total waste of time - he must have been tanking as his hangar & Stats were decent apart from this noricum patton

God I hear ya. I can't wait for Pix to introduce Deathmatch, it would get all of those people who want to pew-pew and don't give a crap about beacon capping a place to knock heads.
For the record, even if I have a daily task of "destroy x robots", I still cap beacons to not screw over my team.

Due to the current objectives of the Summer Event teammates are hitting the battlefield with only one of three things to accomplish: kills, beacons, or wins. I've come to realize Pixonic isn't concerned with team schematics. When they purposely create selfishness within the team with such objectives it's a no win for everyone. The team aspect of this game is gone...every man/woman for themselves. And it is true that sometimes "teammates" are dumber than a box of rocks. Even before the event watching them walk right by a red beacon would infuriate me. And they'll still be doing same thing after the event. Grrrrrrr!!!

I wonder why so few people accept squad invites. It seems the obvious way to go and you get a gold bonus for the first 3 squad victories.
I was able to squad a few times at first but since then no dice.
Joining a clan would be a good idea but they all seem to be full or have a high entry requirement.
Team work would really help me keep my interest.

Ki get a lot of matches where the team I am set up with do not bother going for the beacons and instead just opt to go for the full assault (hence losing the match), and while it ticks me of for lot of the times, I just chalk it up Tom eon get Airedale Pi no bad match and simply do my best in the match capping what beacons I can, until the inevitable 'latch lost' appears and I can start a new match with people who actually understand what I said or th doing in order to ensure a win. While my vocabulary has since entering the Silver a league (I am now crossing between Gold3 and Gold 2),has regressed to more or less the "F" word at my team members' stupidity, I try and just chalk it up to morons who are more interested in their own personal gains.

Needless to say, we lost the game. The beacon was right there.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing - at least, not at the start of a match, but as it progresses, it hampers team members more than it helps. But on the plus side, they are good for a quick and easy kill! |
