bombing exiests only in NCR period.

It will exist anywhere with lots of people and npcs deciding who's protected.

[Wichura]

I was playing quite often in the last week, and I've seen 2 guys getting bombed in vault city (right at the entrance) 3 people in Hub and already seen a fair share of such dumbfuckery in SF aswell.

Wandering around after "~getaccess admin" command doesn't count as "playing", my dear.

Speaking of bombing in other places - I've seen a dude who took a set dynamite with him to Gecko mine. After he died and nasty PKs came to get "teh l00t", bomb exploded. But it was once, not every 15 minutes daily, as you can see it in NCR and on forum with "omg they bombed me assholioz ban dem nao!!11" threads.

Calling me "troll" every time when you disagree won't help either.

[Surf]

Are you dense? When I say "playing" I mean loging on several normal characters. But ofcourse, Wichura knows it better, etc, pp.  I wasn't even calling YOU a troll, fyi, but you seem to earn your self proclaimed title very well reading the last messages.

Ofcourse there ain't bombs exploding every 15 minutes in aforementionend cities, but that's just because that they aren't as populated as the others. As avv said, the more people go there, the same will happen.

[Trokanis]

People will be bombed as Avv said 'ANYWHERE' there is a group of people.  I've eaten dynamite in VC, the Hub, my fave was the time in the boneyard at the vender, least when the guy came back someone blew him away.  And the 'guarded' towns also refers to NCR which is where the majority of it happens because of higher population.  So long as there are targets for some lulz seeker there will be childish griefing.  In fact people make a game out of just how much grief they can give.  Which ok great, but seems to take away from everyone else who want's to play the rest of the game.  This problem isn't exclusive to NCR, it's in the GAME.

There should be NPC suicide bombers, in encounters but also sometimes appearing at random in the towns.

And NPC sucuide bombers guards sucuide bombing only sucuide bombers before they cen sucuide bomb.

[Ganado]

Let's just get rid of players and make it be NPCs trolling other NPCs. NCR can be robot town. Grieving problem solved.

[headshot]

Well I think that bombers are just bored kiddos. "Oh look, how boom boom is funny, hurr!" Please... I don't try to make serious buisness but... I don't understand how blowing themselfs to bits can bring them fun in any ways.

[Aquare]

I don't understand how blowing themselves to bits can bring them fun in any ways.

Topic is rather about blowing up other people than yourself. There, you could start looking for source of that "fun".

[Grommok]

It's just another way to kill time. Some use drugs, some blow explosives in FOnline. I prefer FOnline explosives personally, even if i never seen one.

[Eternauta]

From the Fallout dialogue file for Jon Zimmerman:

Well, the Regulators keep them from attacking us outright,
but it's all they can do to keep our little community safe.
They try to sneak in at night to kill our citizens, or to,
to kidnap our children . . . and . . .
[He stops a moment to compose himself before continuing]
Just last week one of them burst through the north gate in the middle
of the night with dynamite strapped to his body to blow up the Regulator's
barracks . . . no doubt to weaken us enough so that they could launch
a full scale attack.

As I guess we all remember, that was a story made up by the Regulators but I had forgotten about that little detail until I replayed the first game again months ago.

Maybe, instead of rooting out suicide bombing (which sounds extremely hard anyway), there could be a way to give it a little space in Domination Mode, where you can do suicide bombing missions in certain maps -against players of an enemy faction, not (only?) against NPCs-.

[EDIT]

Also, the "Parts of a detonator" item can only be bought in Redding which is an unguarded (and TC) town. And Demolition Expert is given by NPCs from TC towns as well, so one of the things that gangs controlling those towns could do is watch these NPCs and only allow known and trusted names to talk to them, or not allow anyone to talk to them, or give access to anyone. This would be a rather player-run control of suicide bombing. But of course it all depends on what the gangs are insterested in, anyway.

[Swinglinered]

Just lengthen the suicide-respawn timer and also put in all of the FoT explosives.

And jack up the reputation system and implement a Karma system.

Still ways around, but lulz will be lulz.

[Crazy]

Just lengthen the suicide-respawn timer and also put in all of the FoT explosives.

Planting bomb on peoples will become even better.

[spears]

If you lengthen it beyond 8 minutes people will just relog.

It isn't even fun if you're blowed up with 'em. It's just most FOnliners' idiocy.
