technically yes, this tactic has been used on me before with mutants with all rocketlaunchers, it took "every" rocket, all 5 rockets, to kill me, now if there were more than 3 of your team, you would be able to survive easy if you just ran, hell just 2 people would allow enough damage spread for at least one or both of you to run. Besides, players do this without mercs plenty times, people with very good computer who screen loads instantaneously and kill, hell I do this occassionally fucking around with mid-tier gear, should I be nerfed or banned because of it because the player i just grid killed didnt have chance to defend himself? what if I hid behind an alley and insta killed someone just coming by on the road? he had no chance to defend himself in the same manner as grid camping. Stop this nonsense and stop trolling, I will report next time you insult me but i will let it go for now because you are obviously just angry.
But Dishonest Abe denigrates me. He think im stupid.
Are you serious ? You just told us that its bad of people who have slow computer ...
Only excuse for you is that you are also user of mercs, but you dont have enough money to buy mutants so you must use only "leather jacket" mercs which ARE easily destroyable ...
Once again, problem is that you CANT be anywhere near exit grid because when someone with 5 muties spawn there, you are dead before you see who shooting. It is normal for you ? Allright, then dont type to this topic ...
Like i said is it wrong if a single player insta spawns and kills a player by grid camping? The player victim had no chance to defend himself. So maybe he be nerfed/banned too?
There is huge difference: if he wait inside, he can be spotted on preview, if he wait on WM, he can be shot during the loading time and time for him to aim his target. Muties spawn and shot instantly.
So basically merc build targets and shoots his victims by entering town. What a fine gameplay.
I spawn at Reno on Comercial and guy with 66hp and 5 mutants spawn behind me and destroy my trip in 2 seconds
Why would you have logged off in Commercial Row in New Reno? That seems like the issue here. You're lucky you weren't killed in that 3 minute wait period.
Today a logged to game after week and guess what ? I spawn at Reno on Comercial and guy with 66hp and 5 mutants spawn behind me and destroy my trip in 2 seconds. Today it was second time ...
Don't knock it till ya try it .
I have to admit that setting mercs on auto-kill-anything-that-spawns-in-map-camp-encounter-before-they-have-a-viable-chance-to-atleast-defend-themselves-due-to-engine/playerl-latency-limitations has to be one of the finer points of 2238. I agree 100% with Michaelh that during the beta testing process and possibly (a polished product?) this feature should stay indefinatley without question.
Also just because someone has a different opinion and argues over it doesn't mean they are trolling.
Its ok ? Ok, then you are moron ... Thank you for betatesting
2) Second thing is aproach of GMs. Instead of they will found and notice to this problem and i.e. temporary eliminate it (by erasing that NPC), they ban people. Surf Solar, after you banned my Lordus char, i had created GaiusCesar one. Not because of i want to show you how easy is to by pass all bans, dual logs .. (even in game), but because i liked PvP and mutants are CANCER. Your reaction was. Ban. How helpfull for game balance!!!
