Just started frontlines today and it's really fun. One thing though is that we should be rewarded for killing other players and capping the outposts. Every other MMO rewards you for killing players, and completing objectives with small amounts of exp/currency.
Also PVP dailies and weeklies would be nice and more Challenge Log entries.
If your team is in a distant 3rd place there's no incentive to not get up and afk till the match is over.
Also more maps and game types.
EXP/Marks for kills and caps.

Rewarding kills is a problem because this game doesn't track assists. So, suddenly kill stealing is incredibly rewarding. It also penalizes healers rather heavily since they don't generally do much killing.

Assist tracking would be a requirement they would need to put in, which would give healers assists for healing people in combat.

Im pretty sure 'assists' are tracked but not shown.
Im fine with that, ive gotten the 'top players' bonus many times with 0 kills. -

Another problem this could produce, which I've seen in WoW's battlegrounds, are people who would ignore the battlefield's objectives and just aim for the highest kill count possible.
I wouldn't mind seeing extra rewards for capturing bases, killing drones, and the like, but I'm a little uneasy about it for kills for the above reason. -

The reward for just killing people wouldn't be high enough to make you want to ignore objectives(you could get more reward for taking an objective anyway) and go no a killing spree like it is in FPS. I"ve watched my friend ignore objectives in COD and just camp and kill people far to much as it rewards more points then actually doing the objectives. For this you would only get 2-3 exp/currency per player kill, 1-2 for assist and say maybe 15-20 for objective cap. Maybe make it EXP for kills and currency for caps.
There's a lot of meat they could add to this, but it's a shame they only give us bare bones. -

So after doing some Frontlines today i see no reason to not semi-afk once the match has been decided. The team in 3rd is usually a distant 3rd with no hope to catch up. So no reason for the players in that team to even bother doing anything. Just let the other 2 teams fight it out till one wins. If If you got personal exp/currency for killing and capping even if your in distant 3rd you can still boost your personal reward at the end of the match.
Ironicly while i was typing this i was waiting for the 60sec wait time for the match to start and was expelled just as the match began. Was mounted up and rdy to go but expelled just as it said ENGAGE! -

I just wanted to point out that, technically, you are rewarded for killing people. Your team gets 5 points per killing blow, which increases your chances of victory or second place and also decreases the remaining time until the match is over (by bringing your team closer to victory, which ends the match when reached). So, in essence, you get not only the potential for more rewards at the end of the match, but also the quicken the rate of those rewards. All of that, just by killing other players.
Actually capturing a base, too, grants 10 points, so the same logic applies. -
07-17-2014, 09:17 PMSen_TerrechantSooo.. your part of the problem. Maybe if your GC had less people like you?Quote:
