    So, Saturday night and a couple tool bags.

    So I figured id farmed enough and had stepped away from skrimish and survival for some time and thought id return sat night to play them for awhile. Well I was straight up getting one shotted by a sag from a mile away...i have 400k toughness...how does that happen? guy went 16-0...i call bs but anyway i can get over that, maybe i just got owned..no big. Then i find out about the AB glitch..so probs has something to do with it. Next i decide to leave and go play survival...my favorite game mode by far. I go through the usual farming route and get to the dz first, craft all golds and go clear a couple landmarks...not one person has died at this point, almost an hour into the game so i figure...theres not that many ppl in there or it could be literally just me. I go to extract with my antivirals and boom....six dbags run through dropping their hunters off on me and then running off. There has to be a fix for all this, it's the first time it has happened to me but I can honestly say ive never been more pissed off with the game then right then. 7 hunters i had to kill to extract..i failed and wasted an hour of my time.

    Top of the parking ramp, down from the sports store. I know I'm complaining it just really sucked and figured some others have probably had this happen to them.

    Yeah, I hate it when "bad" things happen, but at the same time without some of the bad things I'd have no war stories.

    Don't stay up there when you call in, as soon as you launch the flare get off the parking ramp on the north side. There is a rope on the other side of the road that takes you up to a sniper perch. Kill your Hunter from there and chill out till your chopper comes in. If a group of 6 came along and dropped their Hunters off I'd gladly kill all 6 of them for them.

    Sorry to hear that, not that it is a comfort. Players that can't hang in PvP do that cause it is one of the few ways they grief you and you can't do much about it. In PvP it usually means that they aren't that good and hope you die far enough away from the Hunter so they can still whatever you have found.

    The answer I got was "It's Survival, their playing the game right and you weren't. They Survived!" I say if you die make sure you make it difficult for them to get your stuff. I crawl closer to the Hunters so they have to work for it.

    You really need to fight the hunters from a better spot. I either snipe them from across the street, or fight from on top of the containers on the south siude of the garage. Those two areas always give you a quick easy emergency exit.

    I definitely agree with a better spot, it's just never been a problem, a few shots with an m44 and im on my way but all of a sudden i was swarmed with 6 more and two of course spawned out of no where. I killed 3 total but just wasn't in a good spot for the rest and the thin air spawning that happened. I just wish your hunter followed you if you ran or something, just sucked having that hour down the drain.
