I... am seriously... SO SICK AND TIRED... of not being able to instant action on an alert continent. I have seen this mentioned about a million times in different threads. At least give us an toggle in the options that reads "Instant Action Continent Switch" where if we turn it off we ONLY spawn the continent we're currently on if we hit IA. FIX THIS. FIX THIS NOW! Stop wasting time implementing things we never asked for FIX THE THINGS WE DO ASK FOR! Love, A loyal supporter of your game that thinks you all are ballsing it up pretty hard right now.
It is "fixed". Its intended to prevent people just instant warping around like "firemen in a town on fire". Want to get around? Get in an air unit, redeploy a few times or join a squad or platoon and use their AMS.
Wanting to save a base that is being taken by a small squad should require redeploying or flying there, but wanting to hop right in to the biggest fight is the function of the IA button. Why would I spend nanites and waste time redploying when I just want to get to the big fight and start slugging it out? It's not just random warping all over the place... it's simply just asking for us to be able to get to the main fight. If both sides start instant actioning on the same place... then that fight gets massive and everybody is happy. It wouldn't change the dynamics of the game any because it still would prevent warping to smaller fights where a massive influx of people would be detrimental.
Instant action is supposed to warp you to a hotspot. That is all. It usually warps you to the biggest available. It is working exactly as intended. If you want to get to a particular fight. Use one of the many ground or air vehicles.
instant action is totally horrible now, between trying to warp you to other continents if the continent you're on is full, and even then it usually dumps you at a base with nothing happening.
Clearly you are missing the point of what I am saying. It was abused! So, if you want a big fight during Alert with instant action. You are sent to a fight, but not on the Alert continent. Instant action still brings you too a place where action in ongoing. Its not meant as a "strategic tool" to get people around to the operational important hex zones in regards to winning the alert. Try to think a bit further than your own selfish "needs".
All I want... is when I make it to the alert continent after a 10 minute wait, to be able to hit the IA button and be able to deploy to the biggest fight on that map. No ESF bs, no tank bs, no 10 side deploys, just instant action... exactly as that box reads. Why are all of you telling me that's too much to ask for?
