The Influence system needs to go.

[Miffy]

Seriously it is the most boring mechanic in the game that just leads to spawn camping. All that happens for most outposts and bases is you sit by the spawn and wait there for 10 mins until you convert the base. Spawn camping isn't fun for you, especially with FF on and it isn't fun for the enemy but you have to do it or one side wins easily and walks it.

I'd much prefer a 5 min hack where it means you have to sit on the point instead of so much spawn camping. Maybe that coupled with the capture the flag type of base capture like what Planetside had so it brings the fight outside of the spawns.

There are plenty of other things to do but it means you're not doing so much sitting around until you've gained influence and so people aren't spawn camping so much. It is getting really boring fast and all I see from new people especially on forums is how the games all about spawn camping. Not only that but you capture a point and you expect to have the base, the influence system is something most people don't even realize what is going on. I remember when I first played and I got the point but it didn't show on the map and I was like WTF? Took me ages to work out what the influence system was.
