MAX & Reaver = Easy mode?

[bone_idle]

I must seem to be unlucky. I'm about the only person who seems to run into 3 or 4 enemy max's. Funny thing was the other day i found 3 outside a base. I started to shoot one of them then they started shooting at me. But i was strafing around one of them. Not only did they kill me but they also killed the MAX i was strafing around . They were NC MAX's all 3 of them.

Would this be classed as greiving .

Must have been a few trigger happy people around that night.

Yea, heh, most MAXs i see that wander in groups spot me, then just fire blindly killing most of their own side in the crossfire, same with a lot of reavers, their eyes must glaze over or something when they see the enemy, firing off as many missiles as they hold to keel a single soldier

Yeah but those that kill their own team amongst a few enemies get shown as 'skilled' players on any stats page, if you kill 5 enemy grunts but 3 of your own team, you get 5 kills. The grief points will disappear soon enough and you can repeat again.

Grief points should be a LOT more harsh so you're much more careful with your fire and not everyone rushing in launching explosives willy nilly everywhere, even if their team-mates are there.

Problem with grief points is that 50% of the time its the guy who got killed who is 100% at fault.

Punishing a player for injuring or killing someone when its not their fault is a bit harsh, prime example is players in agile exo-suits who dance around an nme max with a pop-gun while a friendly max tries to kill it without killing the dancing fool

I am racking up insane ammounts of gp's since I got that Rocket Rifle for x-mas.

Agreed - most of the time it's the "victim's" fault. Gee, they see me taking aim at someone but have to rush in to quickly grab the kill.

50gp at once - that was my personal record so far.
Tower - 5 TR just respawned - I take aim to get a nice 6-rounds-of-luv in their midst and some idiots just have to rush down the stairs...

 

[[PS]Mung]

lets not forget how awful reavers are when it gets laggy.
It's like juggling jelly.
Wobble, wobble, crash, wobble wobble, smash.

I got really fed up last night constantly crashing due to lag.
I'd be persuing a ground target and constantly crashing into something I had steered around.

Ditching the Reaver cert later.
