Grief Points or Fear Factor?

[Itlan]

Just a thought, depending on how quickly you accumulate/dissapate greif points always being in big battles may suck, BAD. Some days you are just unlucky, you lob a grenade over the wall, a squad of your team goes running by, boom, next thing you know you can't play for a day? In large battles with lots of splash damage flying about (especially for maxies) I could see people gaining grief points rapidly by accident. Get unlucky and participate in some big battels back to back may have you watching some Fear Factor on wed. nights...........................

Will be intersreting to see how this whole thing plays out, tell ya one thing, if people get banned for a day by accident in a game they are paying a monthly fee to pay....there will be hell to pay.

Well you made me think...

The thing is, most of the people you might be hitting on your own team are in your squad, and squad TKing does not give you grief points.

[Mauser101]

So if there's some guy following your squad around and participating in your battles, just invite him to join your squad. He'll stop dying at the hands of your squad and he'll stop tking your squad.

As an added bonus, he'll get to share BEP with you squad and you'll all get BEP for anyone he kills.

There is meat in team.

Shit happens... nothing to do but fight on if you accidentaly kill someone

Doubt a grenade will wipe out a squad tho or give you enough greif points to get your weapons locked.

[tmax]

they have to report you in order for you to get greif points right...in that case they should know its there fault running into the line of fire. plus accident are going to happen

[Euroclydon]

According to this, nothing has to be reported.

[Flameseeker]

Read the FAQ, or the Grief section, or the numerous posts on this. BTW, if you killed too many friendlies accidentally you will get a weapons/movement lock. I'm gonna log out if that happens (hope it doesn't) and play more the next day.

Id hate to get a weapons lock. How long do I have to wait to have my weapons unlocked and back in my hand?

[Incompetent]

I think it's until all of your grief goes away, so if you end up getting a weapon lock it might be 2-3 days, maybe more

[RCB_Ghost]

Ammo is hard to come by, anyone dumb enough to blankly shoot in a large battle deserves grief points.

You have to have skill, and only shoot when it's a confirmed shot. It's realistic here ppl, no n00b tactics.

[Duffman]

waht happens if you crash a galaxy with non squad memebers in it?

i think you should only get grief points if you really crash it into the ground and you should be able to be forgiven some how like they do in some servers of CS. If you are shot down you should definently not get grief points you should only get them if your at fault.

HUH? I thought this was a fantasy game not Rainbox Six? What part of this game has anything real about it? Maybe the Vanu maxes jumoing walls I don't know.

I'll be sure to tell anyone in a tank not to shell a court yard unless he knows its a confirmed kill and nobody else from any other attacking squad ahs charged in. Crikey.

[OmnipotentKiwi]

I am sure this is one of the things they will watch carefully and balance.

If you're lobbing nades carelessly without watching your radar you deserve the pts. Download Raven Shield demo, you'll get a feel on how a smart player plays, you make sure who is there before throwing a nade. That being said sometimes you will get a buddy or 2 by accident but you need more than that for a ban, you gotta go through weapon lock first and all that shiznit.
