my rule of thumb is, if i get ranked down via whoevers raid, then im allowed to shoot them with my lieut as i see fit until a chance for ranking presents itself. Im not just gonna quit out on my day if i get ranked down. but i will try to jock any kills i can to rank back up and take again. ive had numerous days of going from gen - lieut back to col and down again. sometimes even being the only one of my color.

Only time i felt matt was annoying was he always seems to single me out over everyone and never lets me fill!

jerk.

Grats how long did it take you?

I'm pretty sure I held the bf record at under 2 weeks!


I no-lifed the shit out of it!

I always let people shoot me after the jump raids to get pp. No problem there. In matts case there were times when there were lower ranks in he could go and try to kill. But instead he would clearly just go for pp. This has happened many times, thats why it's annoying

not everyone wants to try and chase around kills they are unlikely to get with minimal/zero support every time the "opportunity" presents itself. as "boring" and repetitive as pphing/shooting into the mob is, i'd take it any day of the week over chasing around someone who is unlikely to die.

[silent]

Not gonna lie here, the likelihood of you chasing a kill you need without any help and getting the kill is minimal at best. This is coming from someone that spent the better half of my hours at lt/cap. A great majority of noob ranks would rather waste your time first than let you get that kill on them. Its frustrating after a few hrs of the same thing happening repeatedly. Some of you don't have that kind of time to spend in game anyway, and wouldn't know what that's like, so don't be so quick to judge.

This is very true but I know when someone is only PPHing as serg lieut purposely just cause avoiding people who are getting raided etc could be annoying and thats what the difference was. I dont mind if a serg hits me that has just been raided at all to get points for lieut or a lieut in getting pts without anyone being raided but there was a difference. Matt is cool and I used to talk to him all the time. Just expected different and didnt think it was him was kind of surprised. But its not like he did something horrible at all... wouldnt say that.

Jordan I was just saying people playing certain ways in general because its how they have fun. Sometimes their fun could be the wrong way.

[M@tt]

honestly the 100 hrs i played was not very fun at all because it was not what i was used to doing. it was many times different than it was back in the bf days, or even in utanks. its also been like, idk 5-6 years since i have played a solo tank? my utanks tanks were all OPs tanks. it is very easy to rank when you have a team to help you on a daily basis. I hate being low ranks, but i also hate taking freebies to rank. it seems that in this game if you are not on some sort of team, you are at a huge disadvantage when it comes to the average player ranking. and crusher there were many times when as soon as i would rank from sarg to LT, with all the captains in the game, i would immediately get raided back down to sarg. and dont get me wrong i enjoy taking raids, but not over and over as LT vs like 7+ people. its extremely frustrating when your trying to rank and you cant even move from sarg to LT and try to get a halfway decent Pph. It was never like this in battlefield, or utanks. that's probably because the game was more spread out. i would say about 95% of the current forum community is on some sort of team (AOW,Transformers, Simpsons,Snakes,Elements), and even if they have solo tanks, they will just raid with their solo tanks along side their teams to rank them up. I did not have any of that.

I really think SW should address this issue because it really makes the game not fun at all for the lone player. The teams over power the maps and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Especially reds/blues in general. Even though the snakes play orange, i would still say orange is the least played color, especially over the past month or so. If i can barley ever rank up with my experience in the game, i feel really sorry for those nubs on the bulletin board who have literally no chance of ranking up ever.

good post matt. I enjoy reading perspectives from the solo players. What would you suggest? Less raiding, less players per team, less raiding of solo players.

It sucks when the enjoyment from one group impedes on the enjoyment of another. However the community is far too small for teams to be spread out evenly. I suggest less organization and more just playing. Thats another impossible suggestion.

I wish we could just un do all the teams, or make them max out at 8 players somehow. 8 players no further recruitment, either original team plays or dies. that would open up far more spots for other teams to chime in, solos take over.

maybe if a new map comes out, we can all agree to sword solo tanks before we jump right in with 15 man mobsters. could be fun.

[Erock]

If we had an extra map we could reorganize the teams and minimize their numbers.

We need to market the game more! SW needs to knock on some gaming website doors and promote the shit out of it.

Teams are too relentless now. Seems most everyone has forgot what it's like to play solo because somehow this game has mostly became a team game instead of playing as individuals. I remember when teams would flash the map raid everyone once and go back to their solo tanks. Now teams sit in the map for hours and repeatedly raid people down. Unorganized chaos is when the game is at it's best. It's why tournaments are so much fun.

agreed

this is also why hope solo is a fun tank and gets more hours than perfection

i got to colonel yesterday and we were 4v1ing another colonel when 7 team tanks came in. now im a lt. I can only imagine how tough it is for solo tanks to rank, atleast I have a chat to bring in 2-3 people if i want.

i mean i don't think less raiding and undoing teams is really possible, although i would like it. the best option i could think of would be starting up not 1, but 2 maps. If 1 new map is introduced, there will just be a huge wave of players over to that new map. if 2 are introduced, then the turnover would be much more spread out and people would be more inclined to play solo tanks rather than join teams because of the utter chaos that would ensue with the opening of just 1 new map. this community is somewhat small, but i think that it could handle it.

however there's probably a very small chance of this happening.

[SIX DAY WAR]

You know how many times Matt singled me out when I was high rank....tbh idc what rank people are I shoot them if they are shooting me

[Divinity]

gratz to me for being the only one invited to his shiner party. Yall gotta get that kool level up, then he might possibly think about maybe inviting you to his battered,which he will never get.

Gratz again

[003]

I knew it was you and I barely been playing!

Anyways, grats man!

My favorite memory of playing with you was teaching one of your noob LoL buddies how to play. Good times.

Hed invite me well before you scrub, you don't even play. The only reason I even missed is cause no internet, only a few more days to wait though
