Seige and Incursion Etiquette

[Bonehead]

As long as there are leader boards, there will be more competition, and less cooperation, at these events.

Thanks for this thread! I ran around healing others while I was dancing in my mind (apparently I cannot do both at the same time). It was strangely satisfying since I knew there was no benefit to going beyond 40,000. I came 6th while others were up at 80,000. Does coming in first place secure me a place in heaven? Does it make all the men fall at my feet in utter awe (yes, I am female)? No, coming first does none of those things. While coming in first is satisfying, I can stroke my ego in other ways.

sometimes it just won't go another way. like when there's a completely moronic noobs at siege, rushing volges with BMG....

I wish we could do both score high and it be good for everyone. When they first introduced the sieges we had threads and discussions for how to score the highest and get the siege to progress to the furthest round. Some one doing well shouldn't be a detriment to other players it should be beneficial.

Seems like most of the time I play sieges and incursions solo. not a lot of other on when I am.
I do have a nice colletion of weapons, including a lot of "OJ" weapons. This is a helpful post, as I am new to the game and had no idea that there was a protocol to follow. Most of the time, I am simply trying to simply not get killed. I swear the volge have racial hatred for irathians, they always seem to gun for me first.

nobody follows it at least on incursions.

This is so true. What is the point of having leader boards and what is the point of ranking out what damage group people get in unless it is to make the game inspire competition for players like me to compare themselves to other players with. It sucks for those that want cooperation, but if you want cooperation, why play a shooter game that is really a good single player game in a MMO style? If you want cooperation, play a game that don't use leader boards. That is like every MMO out there in regards to games like TERA, SWTOR, etc. However, Defiance uses leader boards and that basically makes the game where people like me like to compete for damage, kills, etc. that the leader boards help to keep going.

That is why I don't see a point in telling some people that they need to back off when they hit rank 10 of the damage rankings... There is no sense in that since you can keep going and get higher on the leader boards and feel better about your playing the game. I mean really, this game would be boring at times if you aren't challenging yourself by trying to beat other players at damage out put and kill count, etc. I mean, that aspect alone is good enough for some to keep them playing the game... For others, maybe it is a bad thing, but like many things in this game (bugs and content included) this is likely to never change.

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.

"Non forum peeps" doesn't make sense since we are the people who use the forum. People are not going to join the forums because of your thread. So I ask whats the point if the people who use the forums already know compared to people who will never know and never use forums?
