Can we un-nerf the contracts?

[Firetalion]

I just wandered into a farm and put my controller down, because I had to eat supper. When I came back, I had half of my contract for killing hellbugs on farms completed.

I really liked how we had to each take a shot at a creature in order to get 'a piece' of it for the contracts. It taught us to work together. Taking that away goes back to not needing to work on a team anymore.

I wouldn't mind if it was set up so if you were in a group and in the same area, you would get the contract fulfillment. So trying to get the 'sights from delta bunker mutants' wouldn't require three play-throughs to fulfill. But now we can go Away-From-Controller and finish contracts without lifting a finger.

Power-gamers can feel free to flame this thread.

NO!

Well, I'm have about ten more Echelon contracts to do, and I'll have no real need for contracts anymore. So I really don't care. I just liked it better when we had to earn them.

I'm assuming this change was temporary, as a few things got rolled back with the latest update that weren't intended, such as the incorrect EGO rating spam we get every time we log in...

yeah, i figure it will go back to the way it was. it just made other players a nuisance. as it is now, seeing other players gives me a warm feeling in my cockles.

It isn't too hard to just tag every contract creature before they die. If not, you just leave the zone and come back in again, and the loser characters are in a different phase than you anyways.

Get back to the fiery hell you came from you foul demon.

I never wanted to see another person in the same effin universe when I was working on contracts. Now they're a welcomed sight, as they cannot hinder or delay me in any way.

You LIKED having to be a brainless fire-hose, spraying everything with your bullets and pulling stuff from 4 areas away just so you can get credit for the kill? You want to constrain people to groups for small things like contracts, instead of letting everyone kill whatever they wish in the area weather or not it's needed?

Go away, and I hope the door breaks your back on the way out.

Oh man, remember how totally fun it was when it was like this and you had the contract where you had to kill all the ***** cannons at Diablo Oil? Even if you got all of them it would take multiple passes to get them, and then if there were other people there it turned into a ****ing race to tag the **** cannons before everyone else killed them.

Good times.

He is trolling.

He went afk in game, then complained someone completed his contract for him. He went afk knowing full well what would happen. By his additional posts he obviously knows exactly how the contribution system works.

So because he did not log out while going afk for dinner he thinks the rest of us should be penalized for his laziness to simply log out.

i like that is back. i should not have to troll other players by killing every thing and not letting them have a chance to kill or take a shot at something. we are here for the same goal to get the contracts done.
yeah some people will exploit it though

i hate going through the lost soldiers for 3-4 rifleman per run through cause i didn't speed run and tag them all

when driving down the road and you get credit that kinda sucks, your just driving not helping

No thanks, other players in PvE should be allies not competitors for kills to be shied away from. Reverting that change was a excellent decision and I applaud them for it.
