PM from enemy for the first time

Conceptor · 2003-07-31, 07:35 PM

so for the first time yesterday, an enemy private messaged me and insulted me for takin so long to kill him with a mag rider.

he said a buncha crap and i asked him to leave me alone and he got in my face.

this personally ruins my gaming experience knowing that people can do this to me when im trying to enjoy the game.

is there anyone else who thinks that they shouldent allow PM's between enemy teams? not only is it annoying and rude but its also an opening for people to help each other cheat.

they should not allow other empires to message each other, theres too many flaws and unhappy endings.

Personally, whenever that happens to me, I don't get mad, I get even.

Just all the more reason to show his empire who's boss.

Of course, it's also nice to get GOOD tells from the enemy. Contact with my enemies, good or bad, totally makes the game worth playing to me.

i guess im just too sensitive with that crap... er hot headed? i dunno. i suppose ill have to learn to start ignoring ALOT of enemies.

still i think its a chance for people to cheat alot and reveal battle plans though.

True, although battle plans aren't really critical enough now to make much of a difference. Plus you can just TK the hell out of anyone you suspect is spying. Maybe we'll see this issue pop up more when bases actually mean something.

Personally I love it. This guy VictoryRose killed me one time when I was at the CC. He was on top of it and I was across the room. Out of no where he kills me with his MCG. I inform my outfit and within minutes everybody is there. This outfit member who was in there too waited for me to return and we finished him together, I was killed again. Then I came back and the guy said are you ready to kill him again? No I said, so I sent the guy a /tell saying Are you ready to die? What? He said. Then I popped around the corner with my rocklet gun.

its nice to recive messesges from people who relize that its just a game and complement you an a good kill even if it was them being killed

Lonehunter · 2003-07-31, 07:52 PM

I've done that too

I like to send messages to people that get run over by a friendly vehicle.

I just say "you went splat"

I've had people give me a bad time and others who just say: "yes I did like a bug on the windsheild"

Personally I like the PM from enemys but there are the losers that just want to insult you but I say screw them.

a simple /ignore "asshat name" works

Happyn00dlez · 2003-07-31, 09:17 PM

Why can't we just have some honorable opponents so if they till you it is something like " hey! that was a nice shot! " but instead we have smacktards.. I hope someday they will mature.

Okay, I admit it. I mock people when I run them over with an ANT. But come on, if you're killed by an ANT, you kind of deserve to be teased.

/ignore person's name here

Conceptor · 2003-07-31, 10:25 PM

i know about ignoring

but i wonder... is there any way i can ignore ALL tells from opposing empires?

X-113 · 2003-07-31, 11:02 PM

Now there's an idea for the next patch!

/ignore enemy

Endless · 2003-07-31, 11:16 PM

Yeah, I get tells here and there that are actually complements. But every now and then, i get some asshat who's pissed cause they died. Like a while ago, I had a long range firefight with some HEL guy and killed him with my Supressor (underated gun). He sent me a tell to go fuck myself. Go figure
