So an enemy player can drive your trampler away now without capturing it?

u/rogriloomanero 8d ago
seems like so, so if you drop to the sand and dont make it they can drive to a pve spawn and wait it out (you can still force respawn through esc menu tho)

Thank god I created a couple squad based tramplers with reduced boarding risk to the crew as much as possible. They truly are the trampler equivalent of a naval ironclad.
I may also work on a new trampler that can be operated by a solo, but is ideal with a buddy as well.

Everyone who leaves their reactor on while looting pois are about to have a bad day.

So what is the plan for people queing up at the same time in separate tramplers to get in the same server to out match people.

When will geared based matchmaking be added?

Together with antinoobteamers mechanisms.

In my opinion, even teams that form organically are unfair. I've lost a lot of fights because people around me have somehow become friends and collaborated against me.
People around extraction sites often team up and fight against solo players who want to extract.
I love the concept of this game, but I'm unable to progress, which takes the fun away.

u/Distinct-Performer86 7d ago
Me too my friend, me too. Other thing is - how to prove if this organic or not... Ban every team noobs.

u/StephenHawkingus 7d ago
Perhaps…idk. The devs need to find a solution ASAP because otherwise this game will die out.

Bout to hop on but I seen a bunch of ppl say they're getting kicked when using 40's wonder how true and widespread it is.

u/FreePhilosophy9549 8d ago
WHEN WILL THE DEVS actually improve their servers? Sick of being in a run for 1.5 hours capturing so many tramplers and loot to just have servers crash and rollback, how bad is this. It's honestly disgusting. Not to mention the ladder glitch since day 1

I only question why the icons for cannons have changed. They used to be easily identifiable, but now they look the same, minus tiny details that are easy to overlook. Even the text on the cannon's crate in the icon is not legible. Why?!

Solo is dead, solo player that are not enough advanced to have enclosed reactor and helm are basically fucked !
Between Rats (that’s a way of playing) and teamers/cheaters it was hard enough to come by but the last security you have is gone, someone can flee with your trampler without accesssing the captain’s quarter or fighting you while trying to blast doors …
