I do like using that analogy, but I don't think it's apt. The goal is for the community, having less credits to spend on the store is indeed detrimental, but then again I do enjoy contributing to the community goal. Bodily harm doesn't seem equivalent to not having digital currency to buy digital items...but I guess it's just as painful to some people who are invested enough into the game to want the maximum effeciency.

Serious question, do you normally do private matches to farm? I can't imagine wiping on 10 has much success in PUGs...

YOu suck on a sports team.

We'll drag you to victory whether you like it or not.



You seem to not understand what victory means, victory is earning credits or hard to get items, extractions offer neither. Therefore victory is completing the squad 10 goal. I think what you mean is that you'll drag us into wasting time whether we like it or not. 


No, what you're doing is making (pretend) money. Victory is getting all the way through extraction without death.
Victory is surviving all the way till the end. Not get to the end then dying.

Dying at wave 10 means you're a quitter.

Know what second place is? A nice way of saying loser.


LOL the whole game is pretend. The only quitter is you in quitting the teams goal to earn credits, you'd rather waste the teams time doing pointless things. Winners win the most credits, so the only loser is you. 


The hell are you even on?  You still get credits after extract, you still get points after extract.

Oh wait, am I arguing with a 10 year old?

Have they clarified what would you get if you have all new earth characters maxed? Otherwise it's just one normal match then back to plat farming.

A "rare card" probably meaning an XP bonus card or level IV ammo.  http://social.biowar...x/13312470&lf=8

I'm not the one who's going to be spending upwards of 3 minutes raging at the host and two of his friends in a match going through Extraction. :lol:

Why NOT go for extraction on a PUG?  If you want to speed run or farm, do it in a private game with friends.  I personally don't give a flying frac about the credits.  If you are having fun, the credits will come.  Just like real life.


Not wasting time doesn't mean its a "speed run" why not go for extraction? No credits. The time spend on a useless extraction wave can be used on the next game. You do care about credits, or else you wouldn't be spending them unlocking weapons.

Sorry buddy, I don't ever join random matches. I only host or play with friends--who all go for Extraction.

Guess I don't have to worry about ever having to carry your scrub self then.




You seem to be understanding that scrub means good player that undstand the game and its reward system. No, scrub means horrible whiney players like yourself. Glad I could clear that up for you.

Not really.

A "scrub" is an underskilled player who believes they have the skill and ability to play with the big dogs, and acts accordingly.
I.e. they "talk the talk" but do not "walk the walk".


Well thats not true but that discription fits you as well so feel free to use it to refer to yourself. 

"Well, that's not true but that description fits you as well so feel free to use it to refer to yourself."

Your grammatical butchery offends me.

As well, the fact that you're resorting to what boils down to "NOU!" arguments amuses me.

Squad Goal:
Extraction on any difficulty with at least one squad member using an Earth Pack character
Allied Goal: Extract 800,000 individual players on any difficulty, with each live member counting toward the goal.


Just to be clear, does the Allied Goal have to include Earth characters too? 


Edit: Never mind. Found his clarification in context and actually understood it this time.

Wow what a waste of community goals.. Why would you ever want to extract? Your just wasting everyone's time.


Some people like to finish missions. I think what the non-extractors do is great for them to farm more effeciently.  Makes sense. I just don't understand the parading around that a few non-extractors do. Like it's a thing to do or something. Such rebels.

So it goes.


Some people like to eat glass too.  Doesn't make it the smart thing to do.  Why would you not be efficient?  If the waves with endless enemies are your thing, then wave 10 is right up your alley.  And you get paid for it =)

Don't waste everyones time extracting for an Equipment Pack.


Hahahahah very true indeed! But who am I to say anything about what they do with glass? What I'm asking about is the 'look at me, I don't extract' thing.

I think the smart thing to do is have fun with the game. For me that's getting through extraction. If that's akin to eating glass, then...well your analogy doesn't make much sense as a comparison but I see what you mean.


Lol yeah it was a stretch, but it was awfully fun having an excuse to type that.  It's analagous ala both are detrimental, inefficiet and should be avoided =)


 I play for fun, and for the challenge, not for the credits. Extracting is a challenge, is what I'm looking for, so I will go for it. I don't understand people that are crazy for credits, like the world will end tomorrow and you will need all your weapons maximized before that happens. No rush. I never get worried about credits, I don't play that much, I have a good manifest =)

What else would I spend them on then?:?  Fun >>> credits.

The only one saying "no u!" is you. Take some time and think through your responses and you wan't sound like an idiot. I'm glad you find my well constructed an logical arguments amusing. Maybe if you ever graduate from high school they will start to make sense.

Negative ghost rider.  I don't think the world will end tomorrow at all.  And I do sincerely enjoy playing.  I just view extraction the in the same light as those halo players who refuse to flag cap the last flag because they wanna run the timer out and be d&^ks.  I don't mean that as an affront, it's just a waste of time.  

The reason I choose not to is that with work, a wife, and the Steam Summer Sales, I have a backlog of games the size of Mt Everest to get through and it's not looking good =)

Lol wiping on wave 10 has serious success in PuG's.  Have you seen some of the playerbase?   As of last night you still get former rocket glitchers thinking they are plat material.  So you end up carrying them, and then when you wipe what are they going to do about it?

Honest answer: a lot of players expect to be carried.  A lot of good players couldn't solo wave 11 (especially when I wipe at the LZ area and mooks just mosh there), so why would you think wiping would not be successful?


Post Script:  It may not be apt, but there is no arguing extracting is a waste of time credit and consumable wise.  If someone wants to extract be my guess.  I'm not going to rage or be upset.  I'm going to open a pepsi =)

I fail to see how ntrisley is the "scrub" here. You're the one who doesn't want to help the team or the community, you're the one that just wants to quit after he gets all of his money, and you're the person who would go and kill himself when the rest of the team is trying to extract because he doesn't think that it's worth it. Tell me, if the entire rest of the team is trying to extract, and you won't leave until you get your credits, why die? You're still gonig to be sitting there for the three minutes watching them play, so why not stay alive and help them out and give them a chance at a full extraction and actually PLAY the game?

Gee, I'm sorry for not wanting to extract. If they offered a better carrot, I may extract. But the carrot is currently a Bonus exp. card or a LV IV ammo. Which is not good at all.
