Title: Barrel camping
Post by: bikkebakke on January 19, 2010, 11:36:19 pm

This is really not that important but Im getting really annoyed of the people camping at barrels, blocking others from coming close. For me this is somewhat the same as blocking a door (well not entierly but still its blocking) but they aint getting punished at all. The only way  to kill them is to bomb them/shoot but then the guards get angry at you... But it is fun when they have stood there gathering for like half an hour and then someone bombs then and they lose everything.

**they wont move even if you tell them to...

I know that there is a second barrel but that what if the start to camp at that one too -.-'

So.... Im just wondering if there is some way to make barrelblockers tagged as blockers. And no flaming me... im sure there are people who wants to call me a crybaby for taking it up...

I don't think they should be tagged as (blocking)... it just brings your irreversible Karma down, and I'm sure most people aren't trying to block. Think of it as a fight for getting the resources of junk. Also, try to save up junk at your tent/base when exiting NCR for later quick use by grabbing some on your way out.

Fight for getting the junk is not needed, because the timer for getting junk is now on the player and not on the barrel. So if you wait there or not... makes no difference. You are just blocking the path for other players.

Lexx I know the timer is on us, but the problem is that people leave their characters surrounding the barrels doing absolutely nothing but collecting junk. Whether these are autoclickers or players who take junk and then alt tab to do something else, they're making it near impossible to collect junk simply because they are in the way.

I know and we are aware of this "problem".

It's pretty surreal, think you could replace the barrel?

I should place a tree there. Then it looks like people worshipping a brat. Would be funny, I guess.

Why not instead of this put more barels in NCR and also in other towns.

There is a junk barrel in each town already, some towns have even 2.
