So i lose 100 reputation due to the evil act of blocking in NCR.. because of lag no less.

But even if it wasnt because of lag... Why in gods name do i have to lose reputation??? My character is (in my opinion) ruined because i stood in a doorway?

Is there anything i can do short of being a whiny bitch about a terrible design decision?

[Froggeryz]

Nothing.

We all have to be whiny bitches to get them to fix this karma bullshit.

DakaSha proposed a good (atleast i think its good) solution for karma on my topic, just scroll down a bit.

sorry if i shouldnt post links to other topics in someone elses topic

had same problem dude i had 11 level and for 20 seconds i blocked doorway in ncr same then i have : blocking and all kill me in ncr so must start again with new character
I think admins should change : blocking things. I agree to have bad reputation for steal or killing others but for blocking not should be : blocking but just -100 reputation for each block

I have -1600 karma in ncr and cant get back in without getting shot. how do i sort this?

[touriste]

loss of karma for blocking doors was introduced because too many people were blocking doorway to pk and annoy players. So get used to it.

[Whostolemyfaultsuit]

will i ever be able to get back in ncr?

Terrible post.

People who are there to annoy others arnt going to be sticking around anyways.. What do they care about a towns reputation? They are just getting their last kicks out of others misery.. so who loses??? The person who fucking lags out in front of a door thats who. Whether i have to "get used to it" or not its terrible fucking decision on every level.

If its just some (still not very thought out) short term solution ok. But otherwise its game breaking. There are literally a quadrillion (and 4) better ways to do this heres one:
Make players in guarded towns standing in doorways physically transparent to other players (but not bullets ).. What difference does it make? In fact it would just make crowded towns more manageable as a whole.
"Unrealistic?" We are talking about Getting shot and losing reputation due to standing in a door here...

Maybe thats not easy to implement due to code but seriously even just allowing the person to be shot and removing the reputation penalty would be loads better

[bikkebakke]

What about forced push? I'v seen ghoul santa using it at the cristmas event. If you stand in the door for longer than 3 sec or something you get pushed away automaticly.

[DakaSha]

That would be the "best" and most realistic. Its also the way things are handled in original fallout. I didnt mention it because it seems it could be a bit more difficult and possibly cause new problems (but yeah it it would be implemented well then it would be cool)

[Resp]

just need increase the time downtime in the doorway
25-35 sec for example

All that would do is allow annoying people to be more annoying...

I was just recently blocked for no reason and almost got killed... (Was knocked only unconscious luckily.)  I logged off so i wouldn't get killed and loss my stuff and now i don't want to log back in for fear of being killed.)

Really this is not cool.

Do not fear. After logout your character is in game for 180 seconds. So you are already dead or you have survived. Now you can only check it
