wtf is that thing on the left side of the screen?

[Jinxmasta]

It's showing how much damage in total you have done to the Harasser???

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Looks to me like an enemy empire indicator. Looks like that number next to it is how much health it has left?

[Sandtaco]

Maybe he ahs that implant that shows the name and health of the enemy.

[afex]

i'd say that the person in question is a vanu.

point 1: his crosshair is green when placed over a vanu vehicle
point 2: he said he was vanu in the article :p

[Navaron]

Maybe he's got a target lock on a person somewhere and that guys is moving around him, so the indicator is moving along with it. I don't know. Some evil Vanu trickery I'm sure.

[Navaron]

you are takling about the -symbol and 216- right?

[Whoracle]

remaining health on a friendly unit?

grief points indicator? he IS shooting a friendly unit...which would add up grief points

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Well he's probably not talking about the compass or the message hud.

[Sandtaco]

afex he can't be vanu. He is using a chaingun.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

No he's not a vanu. That's a TR mini chaingun.

[Jinxmasta]

It can't be the advanced targetting implant because that shows up over the person's head I'm pretty sure. I've also come to the conclusion it's not total health or damage done because it is a friendly vehicle.

[Led]

9mm ammo on a chaingun? Eeew :P~

[Jinxmasta]

Oh and we can pick up enemy empire's weaponry because at first I was thinking TR too but then I realized he played a Vanu in the article so it's probably a stolen chaingun.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Jinx why aren't you admiral yet? Didnt you only have like a 100 more posts to go like a week ago?

you guys need to read up on your info.

just b/c he can't buy it, doesn't mean he can't steal it.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Yeah that's true he could have stolen it... don't start assuming your some info god I just completely forgot about that.

[Sandtaco]

So you can loot the other empirees for empire specific weapons? I thought you could only loot commonpool. Ok thanks for the info afex. So then I can use the chaingun and also those nifty other empire weapons :D

[afex]

whoracle raises a good point.

not sure how grief points work with vehicles tho. (especially unmanned ones)

it IS in red tho, which is the international symbol color for "WTF?!?! STOP!"

[Strygun]

hey afex...isn't what whoracle said what I told you a few nights ago on IRC?

If only you would listen... =)

[Sandtaco]

Hmmm..... So we can see how much grief points we're racking up? And I thoughht you only got grief points if you killed someone.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

If he is hitting his own vehicle shouldn't there be some "You hurt your own teams vehicle" or something? Wait in the other picture he is driving the Harasser so he could be a Vanu or he just stole it.

[Mold]

id say its grief points and he is vanu. Even though he has the tr minigun...it might just be an internal beta thing that he has that gun. but isnt that where the squad health is suppost to go?

[Jinxmasta]

It is a friendly target so the grief points make sense.

Oh and I'm not admiral because I haven't had much time to post because most of my free time has been consumed by video games :D

[Sandtaco]

You can see squad health?

in the hud that shows your squad-mates, the bg bar behind their name represents their current health.

[Whoracle]

oooweee oooweee owweee whadda i win?

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Yes I believe so... that guy might have advanced targeting implant on though but whatever. Do enemies health bars show up as green or red? If its red than thats a friendly vehicle and that indicator must be a grief point counter.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Did you tk anything?

[Hamma]

No, I tried to stay away from that. :p

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Hmm that's got to be a grief point indicator then... what else could it be?

[Jinxmasta]

The grief point indicator maybe?

:lol:

[diluted]

jesus christ one at a time PLEASE. maybe it has to do with sphere of influence. i dont know anything about the sphere but its just an idea thrown into the mix of SPAMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!11

[BLuE_ZeRO]

yeah thanks jinx for pointing that out lol.

[diluted]

[Jinxmasta]

Yea I love to say exactly what the person before me said. Sometimes it can really annoy them and sometimes people think you said it first and then you feel all smart and stuff. Well I was thinking grief point indicator but you beat me to post it so...
