Unless PGI takes capping out of Assault, it is still a legal way to play; it is not griefing. PGI is responsible for the consequences of being able to cap in Assault, not the players playing the game the way PGI set it up to be played.

In assault mode now that capping is pointless STOP ******* DOING IT.

Im sick of trying to kill the enemy and earn cash only to get 60k for a "win" because some pug ***** decided to cap.

Its almost to the point where if i see a freindly mech cap im going to go to the cap and kill him so i can go back to killing the enemy and make a real paycheck.

Win lose or draw, capping is a way of winning the game and i will use it every chance its open to me, and as i have said before on other threads if you dotn have a defence there dont blame me.

Good griff thy should just get read of the cap,then again I been saying that from the first day I log in to closed Beta.

Its going to take some time to stop the ninja Caper,after all thy have been wining that way for a vary long time now.

Let's not forget the guys with the 4 fps bug who manage to roll across the map to cap. Gonna tell them not to do the only thing they CAN do?

I know, and im serious about killing them.

Ill take a -10k and then a 120-130k for a real win over a 60k win any day of the week.

I don't like early cap games, but I don't like People who threaten others by far more! You, Sir, were reported.

Have a good day!

Good for you, as far as im concerned im here to make money, that is literally the only point of this game as of right now with no CW.

So im going to do everything in my power to maxamize my money intake, and right now thats killing things and preventing cap wins.

They have other options, like standing at the spawn and doing nothing and earning the same amount of money. Remember there is no capping bonus and win/loss base pay is equal. So that 4 fps mech would earn equal cash either way weather he capped or just stood there like a pylon all game.

But at least if he pyloned it up the rest of his team would have a chance to earn money.

All you are accomplishing by capping now in assault is screwing your team out of cash.

If you really want to take this viewpoint i'll grant you that.

However then you will have to accept my viewpoint that friendly fire is still in game with the attached teamkill penalty, so therefore teamkilling a capping mech to make more money personally is also a legal way to play the game.

I just want to know why this is a PSA to pugs. I've seen a good amount of games where theres capping happening and there will be 4+ mechs showing up at the same time which yeah it could be pugs but it could easily be a premade. Plus its still a valid tactic especially since you might be able to get the enemy to come at you almost one at a time. Since if they want to stop you from winning then they need to get back fast and not all mechs can make it back quickly. Of course stopping the capping and killing all the enemies after you made them come back and killed most of them is the best way to do it.

You are correct in that it could be premades, but with no groups tags in game at this time its impossible to tell. Either way its not in the 8 man drops that im talking about so i called them pugs.

Also i agree about using it as a tactic, i have no issues with that, im talking about the time where they are deliberatly doing it to cap to victory, even with multiple people telling them in team chat to get off the damn cap and come help kill the enemy.

OK- shutting this down, as it violates CoC.
Thanks,
