Just a little Cry about faction hopping. - Page 2

While I have to agree we need some timer for faction hopping, I also REALLY like the idea of the timer not hitting unless you leave the warpgate.

Because I log in every day to all my characters just to get the free 50 certs

we already have the solution.

Oh, okay

Im thinking all the ideas are pretty good,,, once you leave the warpgate.

I still log in and collect my cert points.

Now, if we could do something with TKing griefers (non empire hopping arsehats), I would be a happy Sethy.

most of the ideas in here are expendable to those types of arseheads.

like the community service or scaling damagereflection.

first excessive teamkilling gets a weaponlock and the warning that next time it will hurt. next excessive teamkill spree starts to reflect damage on the griefer. so everybody who managed to get a weaponlock, will have to be more cautious from there on.
this might also be undone by playing legit or as medic and engineer for a longer time, or get a cooldown timer of 2 days or a week

Yep, griefing is out of control. They even switch just to TK you. Happens a lot to me. That's why I can't wait for the so-called improved grief report.

Sending support tickets doesn't seem to do anything.

Chicken Shit asshattery should NOT be tolerated.
I like (a LOT) the idea of freindly fire being reversed.
They do need to make this a bigger priority.
A timer is a must for Empire hoppping.

HOWEVER the Empire Timer ONLY STARTS AFTER YOU LEAVE YOUR WARPGATE

MOST players are NOT asshats. MOST MULTI-EMPIRE PLAYERS ARE LEGIT & HONORABLE. People have the right (and need) to play different Empires. It helps prevent boredom. Some relish the underdog role and will usually log in as one of the two lower POPs. Some guys log into their alts to to manage Certs or do misc maintenance of their character(s) or account.

The friendly fire off suggestions open up whole new exploits lol. Suddenly everyone needs a BR1 alt to spam grenades/tank shells with no regards to who gets hit by them. Friendly fire is there for a reason.

Anyway I do agree that if it's possible to do so a cooldown built into the client of at least one hour between faction/account swaps would be great, and mostly solve the problem.

there is already a suggestion in here to solve this:

friendly fire for a br1 reflects to damage the griefer.

scaling. so the first friendly grenade will be more like a warning that hurts, the second will be instadeath.

now, i would get to sleep better, if a dev would jump in to show that they have read this thread and are willing to look into the issue.

there are quite a lot of ideas in here that would work for sure, and some with zero downsides for legit players. but nobody knows if a dev is aware of this thread.

Sunrock · 2013-06-03, 11:30 AM

I agree thats a bit lame. Especially as it's so easy (with some team work) to just drop pod on top of the sundy to blow it up. I have countless times dropped on a sundy with countless enemies surrounding it and still successfully blown it up. Sure it's a suicide mission but it's effective way to stop the enemy spawning in.

Maybe after an empire swap, weapon lock be 10X easier to get.

Shogun · 2013-06-03, 12:25 PM

i forgot the additional idea i already postet the last time this issue was discussed.

the weaponlock should also be permanent until the same amount of damage that has been done is applied as heal or repair.

so the griefer would have to do social community service to get back his offensive power.
wouldn´t help on its own for all the "create char, grief,delete char" crowds out there, but would incourage undecided noobs to take the right path.

When I play my alts, I say "herp derp" repeatedly over local as I drive through densely-populated areas. I smash a lot of NC and TR that way, though I only fight NC on my TR alt and TR on my NC alt. But I actually fight, not just blatantly mowing everyone with a BR1.

I made this post a while back on the PS2 forums about improving the grief system.
