What? Next you're going to suggest that players can't kill themselves with their own decimators to stop people from getting a kill.

There, 90% of complaints about pilots are fixed. No more BS rng bailing, no more suicides.

WHO CARES if someone suicides to avoid giving a kill? Either way, you took out an enemy. If they are pathetic enough to not even attempt to fight back, so be it. You did your job.

I'd say 90% of the people who play this game cares. Sorry, majority > you

90% of statistics are made up on the spot too.

There's a difference between suicides being annoying, and being a major problem. If you are a kill whore and only care about your K/D ratio instead of helping your empire, then it's a major problem.

I always felt if I was in a dogfight and the other pilot suicided, then I still won the fight. I don't need "Raymac kills Bags" in the chat window to tell me if I won or not.

If you suicide seems like it's even worse - not only did you lose, but you had to try and punk out. It's like a double fail and a double Picard facepalm all rolled into one fail move.

When I fly, if a dude gets the drop on me and outskills me (not that hard), and he takes me down to the point of no return, well that's fine. He earned it. I believe in honour.

BEP helps you level.

Level = more certs.

Yeah, it's kind of an annoying deal.

As mentioned numerous times I really believe that PS Aircraft were balanced very well. Hot dropping out of your mossie with a MCG or JH while annoying is a valid tactic and should not be removed from the game.

And Traak, nobody is asking for a swiss army knife aircraft. My comment really goes along with something already in the game.. the liberator. It had a main MCG and required a bomber to be fully effective. A reaver where the pilot has an MCG and requires the passenger to be fully effective is what I was getting at.

People suiciding is one of the lamest things in FPS's imo. But that's not something that can be worked out of an online game. It's not the real world, it's fake. If someone wants to suicide to kill you or steal a kill that is a valid tactic that won't or can't be removed.

And Traak, you can't ask or everything to be changed just because you don't like it...

Judging by others comments, seems you're way off with "90%". I am also of the school of thought that if they suicided, you won. Who cares if it shows in killspam. Point is you did your job and took out the enemy.

You say that as if BEP is hard to come by.

Annoying? A little.
A major problem that the Devs need to focus on? Not at all.

I'm rather hoping they don't keep the old sacred cows. If they want the new game to be a success this time they need to provide fun gameplay for a more varied player base. To me that means no flails, BFRs or stupid amounts of AA but at the same time less advantages for aircav.

I'm anxious to know their payment model, hopefully 'free 2 play' as a monthly subscription will kill it again imo.

The better players of Planetside would probably never have to face these kinds of situations but to get a more ... 'casual' (read: MONEY) market to keep playing they need to feel a sense of progression and fun outside of just kills (they will probably be dead most of the time after all).

I don't want the last best chance for Planetside to fail. Again.

Give a F2P system that limits you to BR6, but requires a legit CC. That way populations are bigger and there's more of an incentive for me to sub.

A legit CC *AND* a legitimate email address *AND* having to click a confirmation link in the email to activate the account.

Not sure that having a "legit" email address is that much of a hurdle. I can make a new gmail account in about 10 seconds. Not that I'm against more hurdles, though.

I care, and its one thing he posts I agree with.

who knows..you might actually get a fight out of some people if you're going to kill them ether way.

Grimster · 2011-02-09, 02:50 AM

Hmm why the hell would people suicide? Just to take away the kill for the attacker? Wow I never even considered to do that. But if people really want to do that than die honorably well so be it.
