Battle Experiance points : Fairer system needed?

[shadowseed]

I keep finding that i can splater a target, doing most of the work and then he takes a stray shot from someone else and they get credited for the kill.
I find this really annoying, as other people get the experiance points for my work.

Would it not be a fairer system to gain experiance points based on damage supplyed to a kill ?

it has merrit, sometimes i feel like that too, but then there would be an extremely high elarning curb, because newbs normally get their first few levels by joining squads and leechin goff them while learning the game [i do not say this in a derogitory fashion, its a good wya to learn].

but ya, it would make it really hard to intially upgrade.

i feel you on that Shadow..
im there blastin the ememy some dude comes and one shot..
gets my kill..
they should give you some credit for the work u did..

In the end it all works out to be equal. Sure, somebody else got that kill, but you will get kills on enemies severely wounded by other friendlies as well.

But then the experiance system has a large basis on luck, and you shooting at the right people at the right time...

And whats to stop someone just getting the targeting implant and only picking targets that are close to death.. seems a bit unfair.

If you are a combat enginner, and you place down a mine or a spitfire turret, and then the turret/mine kills someone, do you get any expeiriance points for it ?

If not, whats the incentive for being a combat engineer ?

I guess I don't really have a problem with how it is now. The only change I'd like to see would be the squad sharing the exp normally instead of splitting it.

The ideas you posted aren't that bad but I wonder how much extra strain that would put on the servers, especially in large battles, since they'd have to be tracking and keeping record of who dealt most/all of the damage to any given person.

If your deployable gets the kill, you get the experience for it (I believe just as long as you're still on that cont).

You do get the kills as long as you're on the continent.

Combat Engineering is a great way to supplement your arsenal and gives you a tactical advantage when you're out gunned. I can't tell you how many times I've defended a tower or base alone and held out until help arrives or I finally get swamped. It's always satisfying to look up and see those mine and spitefire kills racking up points while your laying down fire with your hand weapons.

Yeah, my CE skills rack up xp for me all the time. And shadow, if it's that much of a problem to you, get adv targetting. It lets you see the health if your enemies, then just pick off the people with the weakest health.

Kill arent where yo get your xp from.

A 5k hack doesn't really even put a dent into the amount of xp I need to go up in BR, this is tkaing forever. Let alone a kill, I just kill ppl so that my little thing in my sig is somewhat respectable.

EDIT: Seriously.....if it wasnt for that thing I buy the "diplomatic cert" and try and negotiate peace between the empires using chat as the medium for negotiations.

Peace is the way to go guys
