pfff im starting to get sick of the time im spending capping points. this takes way to long. sure, great, tell me about team work and when u take points with 3-5 ships it goes rather fast. bullcrap. most people just zoom out to wherever they are seeing the numbers fly at full impulls i might say and start shooting at eachother.

also to many people arive at a point, turn it white and move of.
stay with the ones already capping u freaking nubs.

just lost another match cause i was simply the only one capping points. now seriously its not fun sitting on a point trying to cap it and seeing your last 200 points go to zero without u even capping it!!! IT TAKES WAY TO LONG FOR ONE PERSON TO CAP. DEVS CHANGE THIS ASAP

    Dave I have to agree with you sometimes it does take way too long to cap them if they cap at all..

    The entire point of a cap and hold map is for you and a team mate to be together capping.

    If you are in a PUG and people are not capping.... are you seriously surprised by this?

    Might as well make a single instance cap and hold zone that only you join and then can just cap to your hearts content.

    Might be related but I've been seeing bugged cap points lately. I'll be on team red for example and despite a team mate and myself sitting there with the nearest blue 30km away, the point registers that it is being capped by Blue (flashes blue) and will not advance towards red.

    This seriously impacts the game when several points suddenly become uncappable by the opposing team.

    i can not controle my teammates actions, i can not force them to stay to cap a point. if i stay it takes stupidly long to cap a point. if i join my team mate in insignificant battle (somewhere in the middle of space instead of near points) we take 0 points and auto lose. i usualy chose to stay at the point: result i see my teammates get blown to bits, i see enemy team scoring the points, i see enemy team zoom in to come gank me while the point ive been sitting at all along is still not capped. yeah, great, a lot of fun. can tell you that.

    i no longer whant to be dependant on people that just refuse to play the game on a descent level. since we can not up the skill of players devs should just bring dependency down a notch. let a single ship cap points faster. that way i might get into the fray once and a while.

    and whatever is meant with that last statement just flew right by me. u think i like just capping? fat chance.

    Then you really should not be doing PUG PvP. Join a fleet that has organized PvP or the premade ones.

    yeah right. there are millions of those around. specialy when im around gaming. besides, some puggers do see what needs to be done in game.

    thats not the point thoug. when people refuse to play the way its ment to be, just change the way its ment to be to the way players are playing -> reduce capping time. that way the ones that know nothing remain knowing nothing and somethimes i could go in and put those cannons i have to use.

    right now im just sitting around at a point seeing my teammates get blasted to smithereens while my remaining points, this could be as high as 300 points, tick further down to 0. yesterday after 4 such battles i just had enough and whent to play another game. good job cryptic, if u keep this up u're gona lose yet another player. do something before its to late

    Yeah it sucks when the rest of the team just wants to shoot it out without regards to the mission objective.
    I wonder if open-pvp would be better than instances? What can you do though when trapped in PvP?
