    Seige and Incursion Etiquette

    Since the doors have been blown off of my attempt to keep OJ drop rates from reaching dev ears at seiges and incursions, I thought it may be about time to write up a quick etiquette guide for those running sieges and incursions.

    First of all, here is the basic scores people require for each:

    Incursions at Mount Tam: 27k for teir 10.

    Volge seiges and incursions: 40k for teir 10.

    Afflicted seiges and incursions: 27k for teir 10.

    Secondly allow me to ellaborate as to why this guide is needed. If some one gets a teir 10 from a soi (seige or incursion) then there is a good chance (not sure percentage) of getting an OJ weapon. These weapons are tradable. Thus for every person getting an OJ the pool of OJs increases. Now some people dont trade them I appreciate that, but most do. Therefore it is in everyones interests to increase the pool of available OJs.

    Now onto the really complicated part.

    When person A gets to the Teir 10 reward score, please stop killing enemies, please allow persons B, C - ad infinitum to try for the T10 reward also.

    Therefore,

    when at afflicted or mutant soi Stop at 27k score,

    at Volge soi stop at 40k.

    Feel free to run BMGs and heal, pick people up etc., score as much as you want in terms of heal assists, they dont affect other peoples scores, but kill stealing, damage dealing, and general ******gery may make you feel bigger about yourself, but trust me when I say "You Are Harming The OJ POOL". I am always impressed more by a big damage number followed by huge heals assist, than just a high damage number.

    Now onto the first part of trolling this will recieve, No I am not a noob, I solo volge seiges and get in excess on 250k per seige. I almost never appear outside of the top 10 at arkfalls, and Im seriously big headed about my ability to kill shtako (and aint afraid to gloat about it). I am also not really that bothered by people accidentally stealing kills, or people stealing them when they dont have the t10 score limit.

    However, people who reach the t10 limit, then decide to push that limit UP, are simply stealing OJs from the community in general... this is bad.

    Here is what I propose (and do regularly), once you bust up some shtako and reach your t10 before anyone else, post in chat "t10, backing off". Then switch to heáls and boosting peeps around you.

    Its not rocket science, its plain old uncommon sence.

    I do this for the most part but if I reach my 40k (I only do volge sieges) and I see people neglecting to defend a capture point I will defend it solo. I feel I have better luck with drops when the the siege end and all 3 points are blue. I almost always end up around 50k-60k because of this and if people hate me for it w/e but im not going to let capture points fall.

    I always do my best to not KS at sieges and give people time to show up for them before I start it if I happen to be first.

    I know thats alot of "I's" but that is how most people seem to treat sieges.

    Thow i agree with some mesure of etiquette i can only say that i never had an orange drop from a volge siege or the other two.
    NEVER.
    So i just don`t care anymore for the score.
    Incursions are unplayable because of the immense lag. I just go there to lvl up my weapons ang get XP.

    Thank you for posting this tidbit of info.
    I also have solo'd volge and though not an "Ace" will now back off when and if I reach these scores.
    I can support the theory of OJ awarding as I have twice after achieving these scores got one oj pulser at volge siege ( score @45k) and OJ Scattergun at Kenn Farms (think it was 25-28k)
    While I have dozens of OJ's like many I'm still chasing that elusive pistol or even AR/LMG/ OJ

    TLR Yes time to stop when reach score I agree with results.

    I would like to start with an appology to regular and irregular forum users, this was more posted for non forum peeps. I have seen many of the regulars on here at soi's, and bar some friendly competition between certain groups, for the most part are already adhearing to this.

    This was posted in a brief moment of rage at some rather childish comments from in game d bags. I would like it to be appreciated in that light.

    I would like some kind of in game etiquette established like this, circumstances allowing (appreciated Chump Noris's point). Something all clans can teach new members as some kind of unwritten (written) protocol.

    Midgard sign this, we do solemnly swear not to be d bags if we can help it. We promise to aid and abet all whom join us in populating the OJ pool as thickly as is godly possible :P

    Anyway, good hunting, may scrip and scrap fall on you all like bullets at a forge, defiance and all that.

    Isn't there a 10% score bonus for everyone for every capture point under player control? If people hate you for helping them get higher scores, they are idiots, no?

    If you are solo at the cap point you're not keeping any one from getting a high score.

    Quite, but still stalling on t10 is good practise.

    Another point made to me by a clan mate (read smart ar...), at ken farm incursions, ask if people want t10 guys to help either:
    A) help clear mobs till hulker spawns.
    B) help damage but not kill said hulkers.
    C) or just drop spikes and heal.
    D) combo of above.

    I guess, its just down to the mood of the pugs at that time. Thoughts on this?
