Greif system is messed up. - Page 2

Its easy to get greif as VS. I odly got it before, which is why i probly have it now so quickly with a pulsar from hallway battles where someone jumps in front gets slaughtered and i fired once and got his death shot and would get 40-50 greif per shot(over 24 hour period of playing). And I dont give people hate tells because of giving me greif points.

This last bout a combination of trying to use a rockelt in the same circumstances trying to take out the hard targets like maxes(most of the greif wasnt from the rocklet) while the guys with pulsars all kept crowding infront of the orginized defense behind them(including me) and getting in front of our fire. For the most part (Those were giving me more like 100+ and were all after the patch was fixed). The majority of it was my first time with a thumper, lol. Hence i use the rocklet. That happened in like one incident with the plasma ammo and i just kept seeing 100, 125, 135, 175 over and over from like two shots when i couldnt get a clear shot in to the other room.(i was in the front too(off to the side) by the way with like 1 or 2 people infront of me and a bunch of people kept coming form the top stairs and behind me and i missed and got the motherload). Im just hitting 1000 now because it hasnt gone down because im trying to just play withough hitting it and keep getting like 1-7 greif hits and going back over. 8\

If the thumper incedent were only my fault id take credit for it. But there are too many people screwing up around for that during the instance. Especially when 50 people are flying up and down the steps while the enemy is plowing in from the main entrence into the stairs and wont let anyone get a damn shot in. 8\ Which is, if you want to know, the vanus biggest weakness. The guys blocking fire keep pushing in front and letting, especialy the TR, push towards us and then, when they guys jumping around in front die, they come flooding and are at the wrong range for our defense to kill them. If it werent for that we would hold bases alot longer.

Normally i only hit 1 or 2 greif occasionally, and keep about 10-50. 50 being the extreme.

Im not complaining about the thumper stuff. im complaining about me running into a damn rock in a max and getting like 7 grief. 8\

I just explained it to you. It's to stop people from running in front of vehicles and intentionally giving the driver grief.

I love it when I'm sniping and friendlies run in front of me as I take a shot. They die, I get 10-50 grief, then they complain about me...

Thumper needs a lot of care to use, just be careful with it.

1. Griefing for the first time in 3 hours will get you 2-10 grief.
2. The more you grief in the shorter the amount of time the more the grief stacks. Now 1 damage to a friendly could equal 5 grief.
3. Try defending with a radiator.... no one cares and the radiator should have a grief nerf. Too easy for noobs to think its funny and run into your cloud.

Well I dont think its fair, believe it or not there ARE people out there that DONT jump out in front of vehicles to give the driver grief, people get run over by accident. Its just the idiots that do intentionally give grief have ruined it for the other players.

It's easy to stay low on grief, even with spec assault. Just hold your fire when you'll hit friendlys. I am consistently below 100 grief, even when I use the maelstrom, thumper, or magrider.

If you get greedy, yes, your grief will mount quickly. Very quickly.

I just had that happen yesterday. An infil walked infront of my gun while we were on a wall and.. X.X people dont realize you zoom all the time and cant see them.

Im starting to see all of you emerald players in game alot now.(through my sniper rifle of course.) 8) Who was at the hossin voltan/naum thing last night. I was VS in the character in my sig. Im pretty sure i saw blackhawk last night.

Unfortunately, the name BlackHawk was taken by the time I started playing (about 6 months after release) so that would not have been me

. BlackHawk is, unfortunately, quite a popular name. If I had known that when I chose it 6 years ago while playing Tribes, I would've picked something a little less ubiquitous.
