Cures from ruining other peoples fun.

To Everyone,

Ill Start this thread of this way,

When you are enjoying frags from an artillery on escort and when someone rams you in a another arty preventing you from moving when the other vehicle is under yours, and you then get out to grenade it, and then you find out that someone else has taken it,and then he does not give it back.

and then goes on with an excuse of saying that it was just left there, and i knowing it was left for a very very short time, now he could of not have know or did know,

but as i knowing if i did this to another , i know i would reap 'FURY' from that (any)person,i would wait at least a minute and check if another was around.

but no some don't have this way and prefer to snatch right away,

what a cheap rat ,and then starts calling you a noob,when you complain at him , when he admitted.

this is not even scientific ,

and i hate this,

Can the creators put in a a vehicle lock/time lock where the owner turns on vehicle lock on or off, it would be greatly appreciated, and also a 'Jeep limit' on escort of 3, because there are people who buy alot of jeeps to waste team money, and i admit have done this in empires before, but when your in the mood to play, you don't want this.

what do you think?

 

Normally I would say a lock is a bad idea, because you might die while repairing or something, but the time lock might actually work ok. :D

 

Okay when you die it will automaticly unlock,if it scripted that way, the idea is to stop fast stealer's,when you really want to get on with it.

 

2 minutes is waaay too long. You shouldn't need to be out of your tank for more than 15-20 seconds at the very very most.

 

well, okay, there should be a 30 second owner vehicle lock script,i would like to see that implemented , to stop fast stealers thats all, but then when a friendly tank blocks you, and the owner died, and no enemy around to kill , then you wait 30 seconds.

but if this was done for an 'apc' the person who spawned in apc , should not spawn in the first seat.

 

I think this should be a cvar, cause in a clan match, this will actually hurt both teams since it doesn't encourage you to leave your boom tank.

 

Do want. I've had vehicles stolen from me on several occasions. At least it isn't as bad as it was in 1.07, where you got to watch the noob drive your really expensive tank into the mines you've been avoiding for the past 5 minutes. EVERY FRICKEN TIME!

 

I prefer admins who perma ban tank stealing faggots.

But if you got no admin, this could help.

 

I only take tanks that are off in an odd place, owner is dead or gone, and I feel I need it more than him, which is always. Like one time, someone left an arty tank off somewhere in escort, and I totally blew everyone up with it! It was nice, dual standard shells, made turrets cry, then I crashed it into where the bridge was being built cus I couldnt see it and i never played the map before and then I died.

Moral of the story: Dont steal tanks, because chances are you'll crash it into bridges and die.

 

whenever someone has taken one of my vehicles I just nicely ask them to gtfo because its bad to steal vehicles. it hasnt failed me yet (then again, I do wave a 30 min ban hammer around on the training server to prevent players picking up the bad habits)

 

I just say that if you're gonna take my vehicle, at least put it to good use. Or give me a lift.

 

It doesnt happen a lot that you find any truly abandoned vehicles, but mostly I ask few times..... like Hello who left a light tank ? anyone ? ..... and then say im taking it !.

 

Well, Ive died repairing my vehicles before. Never had anyone take my vehicle though. I always drive way out of the battlefield so I dont have a chance of losing it. Or find a repair bay. But most the time, i just drop an ammo box. fill up, and chog along. Rinse and repeat.

 

My tactic is to ruin other people's fun before they can ruin mine. Haha. Victory is mine!

 

Vehicle lock, 30 seconds by default. That's a great idea. It should be the same for the comm vehicle (woho, the comm can get out and use up his build points without worries!).

 

Vehicle lock seems like a horrible idea to me. I always view this game as a higharchey. The tank doesn't belong to you, it belongs the commander and in essences everyone on your team. It goes Commander > Squad leader > Squad Members > People who don't join squads.

I know it's a simple way to view the game, but the resources, the effort, the skills put forth to get the tank. Just cause you went into a VF and built the tank doesn't mean it's 'yours' in my personal opinion.

I also don't see this is a big issue on most maps. The only time I know of this being a issue is on that map where BE is sieging NF. Then tons of people make heavy tanks, and don't get the defuse skills , blah blah blah, there a lot of other issues there. Mostly no one is able to restrict the VF from wasting all the resources on pimped out rides.

tl;dr
I hope this doesn't happen.

 

COMMUNISM ALERT!!!

 

Being able to lock your tank is a necessary feature. Too many times, while I'm repairing my tank, or building some structure that commander placed, some n00b gets in and drives it into enemy turrets. A perfectly good 1k tank (or 0.5k, depending on the game stage) down the drain. If you really want to enforce a hierarchy, allow the commander to unlock tanks, with a 30 second wait before that tank can be locked again. If the player who owns the tank dies, the tank will unlock automatically.

 

ive never really had anyone take my tank. In fact, whenever I get out to fix it, other players sometimes run up and help me fix it, then run off when they're done. Only one time has this happened where my tank was taken, but it was an APC and I just told him to put it to good use.

 

Ok, how often do you get the comm vehicle stolen from you by some griefer named "Special Ed" who proceeds to build walls around all your level 3 turrets, making them completely ineffective?
