So how has the system changed? Some kind of logarithmic scale on a "per action" basis?

In other words, one particular even gives full grief for the most expensive kill/damange/whatever, 50% for the next, 25%, 12.5% and so on, for any given action. Messing with the ratio is expected.

Now defining an "action" in that situation could get a little tricky. One pull of the trigger? A single anti-infantry MAX "pull-of-the-trigger" could smear a lot of people.

I suppose it could just as easily be scaled back over time. For every N (100 for example) grief you get in a given period of time (1 second for example, the next 100 (or whatever) are halved (or whatever ratio you end up using).

I'd guess, not knowing ANYTHING about PS's internals, that the "over time" version would be easier to implement.

BTW: My worst-case grief scenario: Deploy a number of boomers... You could probably fit 50 or 60 people within the blast radius in the "standard" armor. Splat.

That would make one heck of a screen shot.

"Tonight, on FOX, at 8:00, When n00bs Attack: 2"

Ah'hahahahahahahahaha

Definatly sounds like a FOX operation

Diego · 2003-01-16, 09:56 PM

Lmao, there up to like "When Animals Attack: 57"

It's sad, I think I quit on the second one, where it was attacking, it was animals doing stupid shit from "You Gotta' See This: TV!" where that dumbass kid was jumped by his Cat, or the one where the guy with the camera walked over to his cat and it jolted into the wall.. Retarded I tell ya'..

I love how the camera guys never help or they'll attack a bear with a low power tazer and then say "Bears are horrible, unpredictable beasts."

I'll bet we could get to that number with 'when n00bs attack' in the first week.

Sputty · 2003-01-16, 10:02 PM

Obviously we could. And all we need is a stupid guy with a camera to cover himself in male n00b urine. Seems like Rev would do that. He also has a camera.

Chaos, don't forget your Pedialyte.. The #1 Drink for PlanetSide.

Modulus · 2003-01-17, 04:23 PM

actually thats not the worst case scenario. . .

A Platoon of your team is on the ground running and you are flying a masquito and you get hit by a rocket and are going down lose control and hit a galaxy make it go down and ram into the platoon of men and then your masquito runs into the tank on the ground. . .

Seems RARE but hey! it could happen if your unlucky!

Diego · 2003-01-17, 05:55 PM

Thats just retarded though, that doesn't hold water. See, the Platoon on the ground, wouldn't be in a tight bunch, for the Galaxy to hit, and if you hit the Galaxy hard enough to bring IT down, you wouldn't hit that tank... Tisk tisk.. Didn't drink your Pedialyte before posting that, did you?
