This does not apply to all, just those who feel obligated to blow every generator they come to, ruining the xp for other players, and doing so constantly all day every day at every base they come to. I swear to god I'm supprised these people don't blow friendly Gens. In the past 2 weeks every base I assault get's the Gen blown. No matter how good we are doing. People keep asking, "did they nerf the xp?" NO! EVERY FUCKING IDIOT ON TR BLOWS THE FUCKING GEN FOR SOME DUMB ASS REASON! PREVENTING EVERY ONE FROM GETTING DECENT XP!

BP = XP nerf.
Gen Blowage = Quick Fight.


Yes, It may hurt XP in the short term, but think about it. The quicker you cap the bases, the more fallback points you'll have when the Zerg arrives to rain on your parade.

Empire Land Ownage > Individual XP.


Plus, there is no hard evidence it nerfs is substantially. You get more BEP from kills now anyways, so its no big deal.

Wait, i never really got this untill now.

blowing gen means no respawn, no respawn means less enmys, less enmys mean less killing, less killing means less xp. Right?

What about blowing spawn tubes? How come I never hear dont blow the tubes?

Otis is proof that the TR do have the dumbest players. If you cant figure out why people blow the generator, ask your special education teacher.

There are several reasons for blowing generators, most have nothing to do with xp, and more with tactics. The main 2 reasons are that:

A) People don't want to waist time at the base and need a fast fight so they can move on.
B) They can't get control of the CC or Tubes and need to cut off enemy reinforcements.

There are also other lesser reasons that include preventing enemy stealthers from equiping and re-equiping, geting you damn newbies out of the spawn room and actualy fighting the enemy that poses a threat, or cuting off FLB.

Quit bitching about exp from caps, it blows now anyways compared to kill xp.

On Emerald the TR like to destroy the generator after the base has already been taken and all enemies are gone, making it just a matter of waiting for the base to turn over.

Perhaps the fact that my grandmother could kill a generator with a purse full of plasma grenades is the real problem here.

Your grandmother carries plasma grenades?

Grandmas always carry purses big enough to fit 10 plasma grenades in, don't they?

there are like 4 spawn tubes, so there is 4 times as much to kill then one generator, plus there isnt much defending the generator, as guys are pouring out of the spawn tubes shooting u

3 spawn tubes,actually.

1 or 2 AI MAX's could easily cover one guy with decis while he blows the tubes.
Each tube takes 3 deci missiles, the gen takes 10.

Plasma grenades wreck spawn tubes as well.

The only time blowing the Gen is dumb is if the tubes are already down or right about to be down. Otherwise blow that fucker. Nobody has time to worry about some individual's XP, we want that base capped. Often times it is much easier to take out the Gen than it is to take out the tubes, so you just have to do it.

There is no reason to blow the gen most times and I see the same problem with the VS on Emerald. When you outnumber the enemy 20 - 1, it isn't gonna be a problem to secure the base without blowing the gen. Yet people do it anyway. I would rather you blow the tubes so we can move on. For me the gen killing is more an issue for the NTUs than it is the XP. We have dozens of bases finish the cap at 10% or neutral cause people feel the need to blow the gen. This is the thing that kills your facility resources, killing the gen. Yes destroyed turrets and tubes repair themselves using NTUs, but not even close to the NTU wasting a blown gen has.

Often, blowing the gen or the tubes is a good tactic. The ones that piss me off are the people that walk around a base that has no resistance left, destroying everything in sight. Turrets, the gen, terminals, tubes, ect... This is stupid, especially if the base is low on NTU. Many of them do it mindlessly.

There is a time and place for all tactics. Some people just never get it. Those are the ones wasting your NTUs and their own combat time.

:stupid:

there is a number 3. I have seen tr sit spawncamping in a base without taking the tubes down or the gens and lose the base because eventually there is a squad that deconstructs from a tower and pwns 1/2 the people in the room. Enough so for us to lose the base.

If the tubes are down....unless in high contestment.....gens shouldn't go down. But if I see us doing nuthin but spawncampin in a high zerg battle...gens going down ;)
