 Yamantau. I went flankpocalypse in my Gary and rog, including an around the back of the base attack in my rog. Drew 2-3 guys to me, and killed at least 5 midrangers that were surpressing us. My team responded by not capping the center beacon and we lost with about 90 seconds to go. Props to Blase2000 from Aurora Nova for popping in his galahad and killing me to keep me from disrupting their spawn right before I was about to get in from behind! |

This happens. Last week, Yamantau, I was harassing/entertaining 5 reds around their home beacon for more than a minute. When they finally killed my Stalker, blues still only had home and side beacon with nobody on CB. Blues were all over the icy plains, under the bridges, under the CB platform, but nowhere near any beacon.
Blues lost on beacons.
Oh well...

Hard to cap and/or hold beacons when you followed the new 'four slots are good enough now' advice being slung around and you keep meching out...

You are good on Stalker, can last more than a minute with 5 red chasing. |

The C beacon spawn has all those hangar like buildings which a fast bot like Stalker can dance in between. Helps when the reds were slow bots like Nats and Leos. What finally caught up and killed the Stalker was a Destrier. |

I think this game had its day?
I don,t want to stop playing.
But,the games seems screwed up since the event finished?
I had a good event got to the Rogatka.
Just played a match, on the Canyon, no player even took the 2 home beacons.
By the time I taken 2 home beacon in Carnage, the game was finished, no why to win.
Oh! This is in gold 3, you think they would know what a beacon was?

BTW, this isn't a rant or even a complaint. There seems to have been a pretty big influx of new players recently on the forums, and wanted to post this because the damage disparities were so high between the teams (we out damaged them by roughly my score.) It is more like a cautionary tale about why teamwork and beacon control matters above individual numbers when it comes to winning.

It is more like a cautionary tale about why teamwork and beacon control matters above individual numbers when it comes to winning. It is why I play like I do... its all about the beacons in the end.. My current hanger is 3 Griff's of varying setups and 2 Galahads.. I save a Galahad for the last bot.. If I see our team is blinded in the fight (and Yam is a good one for it).. I will mechout in a second and jump into my reserve Galahad and fight for the beacon.. Sometimes when you do, others in the Blue will see and follow suit.. Then you will have backup.. if not, save yourself something with a shield and guns to grab a beacon in the end if you need to go it alone.. I maintain a high percentage of wins and a low average score because this is what i feel is most important in the gameplay.. It is also why I preach having 5 Bots in your active hanger and knowing what to do with them.. Have a plan.. Know how to utilize the last Bot in your hanger.. Understand many times you will be in the fight for the last beacon alone.. |

Hard to cap and/or hold beacons when you followed the new 'four slots are good enough now' advice being slung around and you keep meching out... I'm one of those who say that you should have some golden items before 5th slot (but not saying 5th slot is not necessary). However, it depends on the mindset. I do play a 4-slot hangar. Yamantau central beacon is always where 3 of my 4 bots go (only Gareth goes to red's side beacon). Even midranger Natasha if necessary. |

Hard to cap and/or hold beacons when you followed the new 'four slots are good enough now' advice being slung around and you keep meching out... I don't understand some people always blame the 4 slot players when they lose. If your 5 slot is so much better to the teams you play, then you should've win more games and have more league point than the 4 slot player. If you don't have higher league point? sorry, you aren't any better. When something goes wrong, it is easy pointing at someone else. If there is a 4 slot player have same league point as me, I will think and ask, why his 4 bots as good as my 5 bots? If you find a answer, you may become a better player. |

It's actually quite the opposite. I am saying that this is a team game, and that I cannot win it alone. I am saying that someone that is unable to continue to contribute to the fight, because they only have 4 slots and have mech'd out is to blame because they are letting their team down by now creating a (possibly even more) imbalance in players. No idea where you got ego and self grandure from. Feel free to look at my posts and point out my amazing opinion of myself as a player able to solo battles and/or carry teams alone. |

I'll be sure to thank that mindset next narrow 3-2 loss decided in the last few minutes because even though we had the lead, we lost it in the last few minutes now that we're down players thanks to them only having 4 slots if you do. A meched out 4 slot hangar cannot cap or hold beacons... |
