Reserve Ruined By Hatchlings, etc.

[IBMess]

Been starting to play a lot more Reserve and having quite a lot of success. Yet to drop a raid since I started doing only Reserve yesterday. The issue here is that I either find not a single soul on the map or I find 3-4 people but they're hatchlings/pistolings. I haven't felt any middle ground yet, just both extremes. Maybe I just need to put some more raids in on Reserve, but it makes sense that such a loot dense map with spread out spawns would make for a quieter match (everyone running in, looting, and extracting out). I started playing Reserve specifically looking for higher tier PvP with loot to grab in case it was a boring raid, but I can't seem to find the PvP even around the main loot spots. So far I have a better chance going on Customs and coming out with gear sets than I do on Reserve.

Ruined? To me Reserve seems like one of the last maps that hatchlings would want to roll the dice on due to game mechanics against them. Personally EFT has seemed like a ghost town for quite a while now across many maps. Hatchlings seem to be quite rare to come across these days both dead and alive. I think many are just bummed out with the game with the stutter issues, weight changes, losing tons of money, wanting a wipe.

You gotta look immediately around you when you spawn. If I ever go in solo, I always find geared people around my spawn. It sucks because they run in a group of 3+ because they're afraid of losing loot, but like you can still kill one and make them regret playing like the scared rats they are.
