m really not sure why u are targeting me (one of your guyshas hit me 5 times now) but please be aware I dont climb till the last day and I will be spending today sniping your alliance.as a few of your guys know im more than capable of taking u out, especially one guy who took 3 off me I took 71 pts off.im more than happy for you to keep hitting me if u wish to go down that road.
Game on.

    Your other topic got locked. You reposted to another forum sans the player name. I doubt the admins will let this topic go. Honestly, if you wanted to call them out, find them on Line and have a conversation with them. Otherwise, this doesn't belong on the forums and is off-topic.

    It got locked because I put the name of the biggest culprit on for that reason and that reason only.you misunderstand my intentions, when some1 hits u at 900+ and u are only around 500 thus gaining 3 pts its hard not to think that theres some personal vendetta on their side.funnily enough the guy that hit me probably thought I couldnt fire bk fast enough and lost 71 pts for doing so.if it looks like im whinging im not, im even considering moving into this slice full time with so many easy retals.
  • Is calling out alliances allowed? If not this thread is lock-bait. Let's see how long it can remain here lol!

    Ill be honest im not sure just thought it was individual names.theres nothing malicious in what I have put, in fact I hope they carry on.and if there is something personal id like to know what iv done to them.
  • I know you've already been told this but PvP is competitive and your going to get hit - and yes, we all get some hits for minimal points and get hit multiple times by the same people. It happens because the scores for matches that are queued don't update often enough so the score that shows when you start a match can often be wrong and frequently you get the same people popping up in your queues all the time no matter how much you skip. It's extremely doubtful that you are being targeted in any way, it's just one of the flaws of the game.

    You seem to be taking everything way, way too personally.

    You are not reading it properly, if I have been hit for -3 that means this guy is targeting me.i was around 500 floating so this guy is 900+and there are more pts out there.did u read the part where this guy has hit me 5 times? This was the 5th time and funnily enough now I have took 71 pts off him he hasn't retaliated since.

    Yeah, I tend to think bringing it on to the forum ain't a good idea. But do get your frustration.

    If ain't personal it certainly is now. Plus your getting decent retals out of it. If they want to chuck away their points let them.

    They really need better in game communication. Could help or could make it worse but at least you would know where you stand.

    If you are getting a net 69 gain then be quiet and enjoy the retaliations.

    It seems to me that some people take this game way too seriously at times. Yes it is competitive but most, myself included never look at names and just points versus risk. If I see a low point target but I know I can beat them in less than 2 minutes with minimal damage taken I will go for it. Likewise near the end of events I go for high points and medium to high risk.

    I've tangled w/ NJL before, but I was trading hits w/ their alliance members a while back and it wasn't anything personal btw us. However, I do understand the annoyance at being hit by the same person multiple times in a row. But as someone pointed out here, if your net gain is huge then I would simply say "thank you" and enjoy the ride.

    If someone is engaging in retaliatory hits and losing points like the way you're describing, he is screwing over his alliance if the point loss is enough to drop the alliance from say top 50 to below. If I'm the commander and I'm aware of this taking place, I would ask the member to hit someone else instead.

    If you can hit them back then just hit them back. Don't bring your butthurt on the forums please.

    I sometimes wonder if some of u guys can actually read, nowhere in any of my posts does it even remotely look like im complaining. I guess some people just have no willpower when it comes to puttin their opinions across, valid or not.

    This. I look at the name for exactly 1 second. Are they in my alliance... Nope. Time to destroy them!! Who they are doesn't matter to me. If I know they are above me on the leaderboards (I queue the same slice every time and its the same 10 of us in top 10 every time) I leave them queued til they are shielded. Then I DESTROY THEM!! It isn't personal, I hope that they don't take it personally when I attack them. Occasionally, My shield is running out and they are unshielded and I feel bad for about 10 seconds while I jump ahead of them but it is what it is.

    for the multiple hits issue - I would be all for multiple retal nodes for those. no way someone should be able to farm 100 pts off you over 3 hits and you only get one retal node. that would help when the 2 are similar levels. imagine if after the 5th time they hit you for -5 you got 5-70 pt nodes out of it. I really only recently learned the value of not playing any match worth less than 40 if you can possibly avoid it. this would highlight that value, but would make things harder towards the top. still I think for those who don't use shields it would help.

    I'd have to check with HQ, but AFAIK calling out an alliance as a whole is not against the rules, it's just not looked on particularly well. If you have a problem with someone/an alliance then take it directly to them and save the rest of us your drama. Pretty much everyone is reachable through the forums, Line, and Facebook.
  • Retaliations worth 70+? Why can't this happen to me? I am usually hit for 40-70 which means retaliations are not worth the time and risk.
