I just watched somebody in a close beacon game (Rollo was there) fly off of the beacon in his Ao Ming instead of capping it. I’m done. I’m done. There’s too much stupidity in this world to play a game that relies on other human beings. Until we have a purge and can raise the base IQ a little, I’m done.

Had a kitsune harpy blue shooting at me which was in totally the opposite direction of the red swarm the other day. Thought he might be signaling a baddie was behind me but, nope. Just another blue shooting in the right direction. Sigh with eye rolls.

Junk you disregard your place in this world. YOU influence many and have to stay to that standard. No F the world BS and the like. I will personally hunt you down with all my Dogs, Goats, and Chickens to whoop your 「bum-bum」. Man up my dude! I love you brother...never stop!

It is maddening. Drop in 10 secs late, OK, whatever… look around, everyone is going for side bacon and NO one grabs home. 10 secs in this should be capped or two Blues on it. Doesn’t happen often but in Low Cs to M1s,2s, etc. Im perturbed that I’ve gotta go 15-20 seconds outta my way before I can join the party, because I’m surrounded by idiots, but then, I should be more angry at Pix for allowing me the privilege to drop in 10-14 secs late….

I have a theory about this... Everyone is too focused on getting kills and damage, even in BR mode. Why??? Because kills and damage count for more honor points than anything else. So everyone is trying to get the top spot, win or lose. Until Pixonic fixes the honor point system, this will never change. For beacons modes, capturing and holding beacons should have higher weight than anything else. Kills/damage is a means to capture and hold beacons, but it should not be the primary focus. Players are "trained" from the very beginning to focus on kills and damage, so when they get to EL and above, they are still in this mindset. If the honor system worked like it should, these players wouldn't even make it to EL.

I make Bacon my primary target, but I end up in the top 3 most of the time because I have to fight for a lot of Beacons. You have to choose your gear wisely and level it accordingly and your strategy means more for the team as a result of Kill/Damage glory hounds. Yeah, it makes me angry when my teammates refuse to bring home the Bacon, but it allows me to get that sweet Au for first place and more Keys when we lose. If you’re not going to go for Beacons, you should play FFA or other non beacon modes, but I guess those guys aren’t good enough to compete for Kills/Damage in those modes so they play Beacon games where most other players are concentrating on Beacons and relegating Kills/Damage to a secondary or tertiary importance.

The same goes for healing...maximum healing honor is capped at 300. Anyone who drops a dedicated healer is clearly looking for heal honor, yet most who run dedicated healers score low (Khepri excluded). Changes are supposed to come the next patch/update. I won't hold my breath in anticipation, I'll just hope and see what really happens.

One of those was to add Titan categories and the other to add Support categories. Another was just to make it more “competitive.” There should be different honor categories for each game mode and each categories sufficiently weighted in order to comply with the underlying mission of each mode.

This is the worst on Springfield. That beacon by the dam takes so long to get to if you are in a slow bot - so 30 or 40 seconds has passed before you can even start shooting.
