--- Quote ---- Extra time that you have to wait until Idling timer expires gives more time for third teams to react on what is happening in the city, because that time could be used more efficiently to simply be in the game and avoid such situations by doing so. That goes for TC, NR and any public place which is hostile.

Works both ways. It can be beneficial or you might miss your chance.

But that's exactly it. You didn't scout the place so you wait the idling timer. You already got valuable information about the guy's build which means you could choose the exactly perfect match against him. That's exactly how this game isn't meant to be played in my opinion.

--- Quote from: JovankaB on March 03, 2013, 02:36:15 pm ---I don't understand, you kind of contradict your point that idling timer doesn't change anything
in surprise attack of offline apes, because you can just login and wait a bit to attack someone.
As we can see thanks to the log, it's not really the case - you don't know if the person will be
still there after those ~3 minutes, so it's not worth the hassle if you are not playing the game.
The thing is, if you PLAY at the same time and risk gear in unsafe locations you could go to
Broken Hills and try to kill him up in matter of seconds. If you DON'T PLAY, just hang around
on your voice channels and chats with your buddies, then you can't so easily kill a player
who PLAYS and takes all the risks of being in the unsafe locations. Seems it works exactly
as intended, so thanks for letting us know.

Have you been even reading anything I say?
Tell me what is bad that I enter the game and I am fully capable of playing it? Can you answer that question as I've been asking it millions of times, how it makes it any right that I have to waste my time first to be able to play?
I was about to play the game, play the game for the only reason I play it, since there is no other reason for me to be inside the game, but I didn't want to because of Idling timer.
The guy most probably was looking for trouble, it is an unguarded location which is meant to be unsafe, but what's the point if some feature tries to prevent the risk? Meaning if I would be inside a city for those few minutes in order to be able to attack that guy "risking" myself, that means some feature would be protecting me from hostility while inside it and in the end I wouldn't risk anything as I'd be waiting out a meaningless restriction.
That feature is a pointless paradox. This is utter failure of basic logic.
How ignorant can you be?

I would still have to get there and organize, it would take me time just to get there if I wasn't ready for it and I wasn't, but on top of it more time is wasted.
Tell me how exactly is that not mean to be played like that, if I want to play, but it restricts me? Showing up faster and risking myself by battling him out?
This feature prevents me from risking myself, playing the game. You still don't get it?
Eternauta:
While the old system sucked because you had to spend time levelling your PvP alts, the new system is awesome because you can type your walls of text complaining in a thread while waiting for your Idler cooldown to go down. (not 100% joke)

You completely don't understand what I'm talking about, this is not about some alt leveling, not even remotely close to that.
