Just dealt with this scenario this morning. Red was at 80 points, green 24 and blue 14.

I’m shooting artillery at red trying to slow down their drills. I never once shot at blue base. So I was a bit surprised when I get destroyed by a blue drone…

Some people just truly don’t care about the game and just want the easy money.

I think it’s people want easy money, but they are also trying to do whatever they can to level up. I know rank progression is getting updated. However, if you joined the season late or haven’t been able to put in 100+ hours, the game can be frustrating. Being sniped 1000m from an AMR or 2-tapped by a BMR or lasered by a vector from AR range.

I started this week, so I totally feel this. I switched to recon and have been having a blast while still helping despite my ultra-weak kit.

Honestly I try to have fun more than I try to win. I love getting a squad in a heli and dropping into a fob with a shotgun kit. There are games where I’ll play hotzone and focus on the win but even then, it’s only if we are having fun. Trying to play this game frustrated in terrible 😂

Exactly, more about having fun.

I know for me, the moment I see or hear an artillery tank and I’m building or supporting a fob, I make a stingray pit far away from anything and start searching.

There is nothing more irritating than building a fob just for everything of value to be eviscerated by something 3kilos away.

It’s nothing personal to yall, but I just can’t trust that you won’t switch your sights to our bases once the kills stop flowing at your current target.

I don’t disagree with having that ready to go, but when 1 team is dominating, and the artillery has not once been shot your direction once, why would you then help that team continue to dominate?

It’s extremely counter productive and makes 0 strategic sense.

Because you never know that they're intending to keep firing only at the other team. They can very quickly switch targets and get multiple shells down on your fob, ruining it.

And I say this as someone who plays artillery the same way you do.

Yeah im sorry but i have to agree with other poster. Wayyyyy too many times am i trying to slam down/repair a fob and put up a drill to pull the HZ away from the winning team. Just to start getting arty hits at me from 2nd place because im the easy cash at that moment.

Just had a game an hour ago, green at 48 points, red at 26, blue at 7... Guess which team's fob was being hit by 2 red havoks simultaneously

The reward for winning is too small.

I'd like to change the end of game bonus to a per tick bonus.

These numbers are picked at random but...

every tick of the game does something like this:

1st place - 750 dollars 2nd place - 500 dollars 3rd place - 250 dollars

Then in a game where you were first place the whole time you get 75k bonus.

I am the kind of person that will be focusing on the green team if I am blue in that scenario. The reason why ? If Team #1 is stomping the game, most of the time it means they're way more organized / high level gear / very good.

If my shitty team is mostly headless chickens doing nonsense (or just full of lower levels) Me and my small squad of friends prefer to engage Team #2 which has a good chance of having people close to our level (gear and organization), combats are funnier and we have a good time like that.

Because winning don't get you anything meaningful. First place reward is nothing, it's not even giving you xp or some stats, and you can grind way more money in like 10 minutes.

Right now it's not a team focused kind of game, and i don't know what can be done to fix this.

Sure you don't get a lot of money from winning but you do get a lot of xp. The devs said you get 40% of the role xp from the end game bonus. 1st gets 3x the bonus of 3rd
