Today's PvPing High...er, Lowlights

Yes, this is the other thing I mentioned. You can have players on your own team helping the other team. One guy on ours (not today) was using the Cerberus to destroy all the ATVs so we had to continually walk and he wouldn't go near the other team. In one match I was going to spawn and saw the turret was available-I spawned in it and the guy kept playing around and wouldn't drive from the spawn area. I got out and someone else got in and then he drove off-must have been waiting for a friend.

Guess they need to turn on friendly fire for vehicles now.

And we will just have more griefing. Remember the contract for turrent kills? I'm 100% sure more Cerberus will be destory by "accidental friendly fire" than by the enemy.

They just need another door out.

Driver is training his Cerberus vehicle skill.

As for the passager destroying vehicles, he might think it helps him gain XP. (Or he is just bored)

This made me laugh. The one day the contract was for turret kills I think over half the team including myself were just waiting for the Cerberus, and all of us were blowing the ATVs up out of I can only assume boredom.

Although if anyone wanted to take it we weren't stopping them but that whole day was a joke on PVP anyway.

I'm sick to death of people telling others (and me) in this forum when they say they don't like PvP that they (we) just need to learn how to do it and get better at it and blah blah blah.

I played about 6 PvP matches today. 2 Shadow Wars and at least 4 Freightyard Capture and Holds. I forced myself to because everything else is broken, the game took back things I had gotten in PvP (turret kills and capture point kills and more) and I just want to get it over with as much as possible.

So, fun times. Today was again almost invincible day for the other team. No weapon I used or players on my team used would do much or any damage on at least one guy on the other team in Shadow Wars. And then there were the machine gun shotgun users-that's lovely. It shoots like an LMG or even an SMG but it's a freaking shotgun and I don't mean it was a slow shotgun type auto or one with the buff to firing speed-it was super fast.

Then there was the never dropping cloak as well as the cloaked players that could ALWAYS see me even when I was cloaked.

But my favorite is the new "no one's driving the vehicle and it can't be destroyed or damaged" mode. This is super special. I was in the cerberus turret and we came upon an ATV driving by itself. I figured cloaked driver, except he never came out of cloak and it was impossible to do damage to the ATV. I even got out of the Cerberus and tried and nope, no damage with anything. Then this happened with a Cerberus. No one in it and can't damage it and suddenly there are a bunch of players from the other team on you and you're dead. Special. And some have figured out how to do this to their character on foot too. I was shooting at one guy with the turret gun, did no damage but I was hitting him. We ran him over and did no damage-it just knocked him down. He got up, his shield and health were full, and one hit killed me while I was in the turret. Amazing.

Then there's the special double spawn where one guy spawns and as I'm shooting him and doing damage, a teammate of his spawns right on top of him and I'm dead. Gosh this was the most fun ever.

Couple that with the numerous times I have fulfilled PvP pursuit requirements and completed contract needs and not gotten credit and yes, I am suggesting there be alternatives to PvP to complete Echelon things. Not one single PvP game I played today was a decent one.


And yes, I finally started reporting the fools. I had hoped some of them would get bored and move on, so I never used to, but I'm done with that. This game needs to be fixed as far as PvP among other things.

Was this cheating or exploiting bugs in the game? Just curious and also are you playing on PC? All i see on PS3 sometimes is guys that never get off Cloak

It seems you do not realize how ******ed this statement is.

PvP faction = PvP stuff.

[4ndreas]

Double post for quoting this truth.

Then your not paying attention to what's going on to closely. I'm on PS3 and have unloaded a full clip from my Orange Grind Fragger with full mods (10 rounds @ 173x8 = 13,840 damage max base) into a few players and there shield didn't even budge and I was one shotted with an VOT Auto Fragger in return. So yeah all the same problems are on the PS3 as they are on Xbox.

I don't let it bother me anymore though, because if someone has to cheat at a computer game to make themselves feel good, well that's just very sad and pathetic.

Yeah that would happen. People already destroy the Cerberus on purpose now by intentionally driving it into that pit.

Except that's ridiculous. Where in the PvE game and the missions is Echelon ever fighting player against player or people against people. In fact the player fights alongside Echelon in order to defeat 99ers, raiders, dark matter, and so on. There is nothing in the game that pits the Echelon mercs against other players and in PvP what exactly are the merc type things you are doing? In the other contracts you are actually doing stuff for those factions. In PvP there are no actual different sides-say good guys and bad guys. No one is playing as a merc and no one is playing as a raider or 99er.

It's only PvP/Echelon because of no reason at all. It should be a merc faction where you are actually doing merc type things. I could understand if PvP was set up as going after the bounty on other player's heads but there's no such thing.
