Grief points

[Lonehunter]

When you get enough grief points to get a weapons lock, do those grief points return to zero after the lock?

[Cauldron Borne]

they tick down SLOOOWWLY until your back to the non-weopons lock zone. I know from experience. accidently arty'd a hacked base. the base's colors were still PURPLE!!!!!!

You hit weapons lock at 1000 grief points. I think (don't quote me) that you lose roughly 120 or so grief points a day. Spork posted something similar to that in the OF, but I can't recall the exact number. :o

Yea its around that, I had a little over 150 the other night from helping people in spawn tubes. When I came in the next day I was around 50 or so.

Grief goes away fairly quickly. 1000 gp, the amount needed for a weapons lock, would probably reduce to zero in a week's time. That is, if you don't rack up any more than 20 grief a night.

Large Battles + Special Assult = Big Grief

Well 2 days ago I had 952 grief points. My main weapon was the Rocklet gun. I used a cert point and unlearned special assault and got Heavy assault. The splash damage I got from the Rocklet gun racks up after a while. My grief is currently 700+. When it get's below 200 I'll get back special assault. Bottom line, If I get 1000gp I get a weapons lock, and the gp's don't go away or leave at an excelerated rate? How long is the weapons lock by the way?

i thought 1040 was weapons lock. i was messing around being an asshole and i got weapons lock at 1040 i think. i had to wait 30 min to play again.

From my experience weapons lock can last from 5 to 30 minutes. You have to be in game for that counter to count down. If you log out when you come back it will be the same time as when you left.

I got weapons lock at 1000 (With Max Pounder) and had to wait 25 minutes

You lose 6 grief points every real-time hour btw (at least that is what I have been told on multiple occasions)

As an NC jh/deci user, I have around 500 now, had 1000 and something a few days ago from firing decis into max's surrounded by nc. Whenever I see a pounder max surrounded by 10 friendlies, and they're not doing enough damage quickly enough to the max to stay alive, I usually fire away which gives me about 50 grief.
I get around 150-200 grief a day because I usually kill people who piss me off, have no manners, or try to steal experience from a friend/squadmate.
Example: a friend drives an ant across hossin to fuel up kisin, when he gets there, he gets out and without locking it a friendly cloaker immediately gets in it, locks it, and then deploys, taking the experience.

I get incredibly frustrated by accidental grief, I think that the grief for being run over needs to be taken off, the huge amount of grief for knicking a friendly vehicle with a vanguard needs to get taken off, and grief in general (everything) needs to be taken down about 15%.

I've had 900+ grief for a couple of weeks. I don't get weapons lock very often, but it happens. If I see, say, an infil trying to knife a max, I'm not going to hesitate to fire. I very rarely get grief from mistakes of my own; it's almost always people doing profoundly stupid things and me being unforgiving.

The most grief I've ever gotten in a single occasion, though, was just shy of 600 about a week ago.. I was sitting (in MAX) at an AMS (which was being phoenixed and constantly repaired) next to a NTU silo at a hacked base. As I recall, I was looking for a cloaker. A friendly ANT rolls up, through the AMS bubble, and runs 3 people over, including me - the ANT blew up off of my corpse, blowing the AMS, and several people. I took all the grief from it.
