Proper Siege Behavior

[WhiteF8ng]

I can vouch for this. I've done experiments to see how the point system works, and as far as I'm concerned, the person that gets the killshot gets the most points. I've stood back and watched players wittle down visceras to a sliver of health, before taking the kill with a crit from my VBI sniper. Nets me over 2000 points, for doing not even a tenth of the other persons damage. On the other hand, I've wittled down visceras to very low health, got into cover and waited for someone else to take the kill. Nets me on average 300 points, even though I did the most damage. As I said, I've done both of these on multiple occasions, just to experiment with it, and I agree with Arsenic on this.

I'm not complaining about kill stealers. I get the 20k I need about halfway through, if not quicker, and usually wait out the rest of the siege so others can get their points. I know if I run around doing damage they won't get as much as they could, and I'm trying to be fair to everyone.

As for the original poster, don't worry about people fussing at you for playing the game. Just try to be fair to everyone, cap out where you'd like to, unless you're really shooting to get the Stage 10 achievement. We are all players of the same game here, let's all be nice and enjoy it with each other.

P.S. Sorry to the few people I stole kills from, I wasn't trying to be a jerk, just trying to make sure I was right about the scoring!

Feel free to steal my kills, some call it TEAMWORK

Wish the point totals made sense, kill stealing... its like Mass Effec 3 MP all over again lol

If I'm remembering correctly, it was actually you and Rogue that I stole the most kills from to get my data.. Sorry y'all, hugs to make it better? *huggles*

If someone is using a good build/ weapon set and they arrive early enough, they shouldn't have any problem breaking 20k with both assist and kill scores. My 600E toon regularly can break 20k, so ego level is no excuse. Unless the siege is crowded (+20 players) there are enough enemies running around at the sieges that kill stealing shouldn't be an issue. Just an excuse for ignorant players to use to explain poor numbers.

I was thinking like the show Whose Line Is It Anyway.

Defiance: "The game where everything's made up and the points don't matter!" :P

I've only been playing a few days and I've gotta say I get my arse handed to me on a stick more than I kill anything in sieges. I'm usually the guy who took too much damage and is hiding behind the rubble restoring his shields. Usually when I take too much damage, its from running out into fire, trying to res someone. On average, I get about 5k points in a siege start-finish, with my personal record being 12k. Havent done one in a few hours though, and certainly not since I dramatically increased my firepower. Well, see you all in the game

Lol then Drew Carey shows up and says "Hey you sneezed on that bomber, ehhhh 1400 points."

All I use is a purple Vbi or Frc and if I get there with 8-10 minutes left I get my 20k most of the time

I really hate you so much right now.

I suck at sieges. Highest score yet was just under 20k, first siege that I got there at the start, then it ended just before i got to 20k.

I'm currently trying different LO's and perks, but I just suck I guess. I will get it, damnit!

If you got the Extra Life Machine Gun (the syphon version), use that. Throw some mods on it and fire away. I easily break 20k with it halfway through a siege. Of course, I can do better with my VBI Tacc AR, but the EL Machine Gun was much easier to acquire.. Or try any gun that you're completely comfortable with. My loves are my VBI Tacc AR and Ground Pounder for PvE, and my VBI Sniper and Charge Blade for PvP. VBI Tacc AR alone gets me 25-30k halfway through a siege, and I can just sit out the rest. It's all about what weapons are comfortable with you. I personally love decoy as my ego power. It's great for survivability. I've been told that using overcharge is the best for sieges, but I don't see it. I may not do as much damage, but I often get more score in the end than any OC user. Perks to bump up your ego power, things like fortitude and cellular armor are great, the regeneration one, etc. Try to get yourself a regen shield. My purple 75% respark regen is beast (thank you Maverick! ). And try to pick defense points that only a few arkhunters are at. Increases your chances of getting the killshot and therefore getting more points.

I find it quite amusing to run around with a SAW and open up on ANYTHING THAT BLOODY MOVES.

I rack up quite a few points.

I get more when I "take it seriously" but that's very rare .... I dislike serious.

Plus I like my SAW. Even after the nerf. You'll never make me give it up Trion, no matter how hard you try .... mwahahaha.
