Getting boring?

Try flying an ESF and survive more than 5 min in battle it a thrill

Just look for a good outfit on a server with good opposition. Good friends and opponents make this game far more entertaining.

Like, how do you guys stay interested in COD#12321132 or BF1232313 ?

The competition and challenge for me, as with anyone else who constantly plays those frag fests. Being number 1 on the match leader board or owning a really good player.

Shooting people who can't shoot straight or just stand there, doing nothing gets boring.

I can't really say much, I only played this game for a month in beta, but from what I experienced, what I'm seeing in videos and what I hear on the forums, it seems to me that the biggest problem is the gameplay being too random.

I wrote thread previously in the idea section, where I tried to explain how the capture mechanics within hexes should be altered to direct the flow of players, while also enabling relatively small, organised groups to capture bases, even if they are greatly outnumbered.

There is a link to that thread here. But the basic idea is that (particularly in larger bases) certain capture points are locked until you capture other points within the hex. For example, D, E and F cannot be accessed unless you have either A, B or C. This way, you can predict the flow of attackers and therefore you are more likely to get a 'clash' between two sides.

In the thread I also argue that the chain of capture points you create with this system, ought to have a central point, which, if captured, will immediately flip the territory. This way, organised squads can plan a quick route to the final capture point. I think this feature would make the gameplay much more tactical for organised groups, whilst also directing all the lone-wolves to the action, rather than having them run around randomly.

The game is meant to be played with an outfit, join and outfit and you will have a load of fun

Rather not to be honest. I enjoy the freedom of bouncing around and doing different things whenever I want to.

It's fine, maybe I overreacted a bit, but it's just hard finding those great battles or running into people that made me say, whoa, he's good. Then trying to figure out an edge so I can beat him or them. I had these moments a lot in PS1. Skilled AND smart people would just flat-out whip and humiliate me, lol.

I guess most of these people, veterans as you may say, are on a certain server. Really don't feel like starting over there at the moment as I already have two characters heavily invested in.

Just hoping some of these newer people wise up and stop acting like Rambo and learn things as about 99.5% of the people I've encountered so far have this mentality, which easy to take advantage of.

Me neither! Having a good outfit makes it fun. Gotta give some more outfits some time to get their games straight and stop sucking, more challenge.

Not really bored, but most fights I am fighting in are ending up in camping the enemy spawn. You capture the control points. And then you camp the spawn to make sure nobody gets out. It is almost impossible when on the defending team to get the control points back because you are pretty much locked in your spawn building. I hope they are going to improve this since it isn't very fun. Most of the times I am playing I am mostly in a reaver flying around and killing stuff since that is more fun than camping a spawn.

...and making friends takes a little effort but not much. If you don't roll with an outfit then at least get used to hitting the Insert key when you log in, and actually say stuff to people. Even if it's straight tactics and scouting info, it helps.

Having sooo much fun right now.

Not bored here.

[Simokon]

I don't get really bored although I do sigh a bit when I see us fighting at a techplant and it drags on for hours.

[Rahabib]

I think if defense gets a bit better rather than just delaying the inevitable, More fun will be had.

[Ghoest9]

Im having fun.

Maybe my standards of awesoness in opponents is lower than the OP.


EDIT: And im playing 99.9% solo because they wont give me an option to turn off the fucking green squad names(Im red green color blind).
If I could join squads and do tactical game play it would be really fun.

Steadily getting boring indeed.

Wtb meta.
