8 minute replication

(1/5) > >>

Spidercat:
This happened to me in Shady Sands today.  I was playing Riddles.  The character that planted the dynamite was YourMom2. 

I used first aid on someone, then I got to wait 8 minutes to play again.  I figured since I could not play for a while I would come to the forums.  I would like to point out that I feel very little anger.  My goal here is not to call for disciplinary action, but merely to expose this mechanic to all players and to remind the devs that this needs to be addressed.  I am sure they are aware, so let my voice add to the chorus.



BTW, I had to put some text in there because there was a figure-ground conflict and some of the text was illegible.

I would like to point out that I play this game quite a bit because I enjoy it.  I understand this is an open beta, and things will not be perfect, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the devs, gm's, and anyone else that has contributed to this project. 

I would also point out that "stealing" a stick of dynamite on to someone is hilarious.  Having them wait to play for 8 minutes because it happened is bullshit.

..... no need to post somethings every time you die man. everyone knows this happens and i really hope the devs are not wasteing there time "fixing" this. when its really just your fault for not paying attention and then dieing because of that. learn from your mistakes as we all do and it will happen less often.

Spidercat:
Thanks for your input falloutdude, this is what I think of what you posted.

"..... no need to post somethings every time you die man."

Do I do this?  Do I post something every time I die?  I suppose I will concede you have a point if you can present evidence that this is so.  As to my recollection I have posted twice after I have died.  Both times there were perceived exploits.  I figure as an open beta tester and as a member of the online community it would be irresponsible to not make myself heard about what I see as faulty mechanics.  Please do not belittle that without supporting evidence.

"i really hope the devs are not wasteing there time "fixing" this. when its really just your fault"

Really?  You think the devs intended for folks to make others not play for an extended amount of time with an attack that is nearly impossible to defend against?  The action looks like first aid, repair, normal stealing, doctor, and many other things.  If we run from them every time because we thought they would make us not play for 8 minutes then the community degenerates quickly.  Folks will never feel safe just talking or trading.  This has been observed many times.  I can't believe this has to be stated.  I'm all about the wasteland being harsh, but I doubt the intention of this mechanic is to not make people play the game after being victimized.  I believe this is very much worth fixing. 

In addition, I thought many of us would enjoy reading the text log.  Folks that act in an antisocial way should draw a social reaction.  Now we all know to be alert when we see YourMom2.

.... you take shit to personaly. really dude we all know this sucks when you die from this and most of us are not new at this game and know this is gonna happening. i was just saying we all went threw it and maybe others should go threw it so they learn. this game is not WOW  where everything is happy and you cant get pwned at any time. we like it this way thats why we are here and not playing WOW. in this game learning from your mistakes and dieing many times is part of it if you dont wanna die go play hello kitty online. also i was just saying if you post something on forum everytime you get trolled your gonna fill the forum up quick and piss of many people. also please dont send me pm of your anger, settle it here we are not friends and we are not currently tradeing DONT SEND ME PM'S.

Trokanis:
And with the speed that some people can do said actions, like placing bombs in others inventory or stealing several items.  But really the 8 min replication is stupid when it's caused by other people.  That is an exploit that can be used against regular players.  So I really do hope the devs take a moment to address it.  With so much in game that has been turned to abuse others it would be nice to not have even more, especially if it's unintentional.
