will there be anything done to combat griefers who cause friendly fire suppresion?

[illinifan]

While suppression in itself is a good thing, one big flaw that I see is that you can have a friendly mp40/ppsh shoot in your direction to grief and cause suppression, without having anything happen to them besides an admin kick/ban if they're on

or am i just wrong, and is TWI implementing a point system for suppression as well, where you can get negatives for friendly fire suppression?

 

[Nezzer]

I've never suffered any kind of friendly suppression in ROOST. Sometimes you can be suppressed by a friendly that's firing right beside you in DH, but that's some kind of bug. I don't think there should be punishment for friendly suppression. It's no big deal.

I would hope that TWI impement a vote kick system the same as RO if no admin is around.

I get suppressed by my own MG's or friendlies a lot in games that have suppression.. RO it happens quite a bit also. A kick system isn't really necessary, IMO.

**** happens.

 

[DiedTrying]

Never was an issue with me

 

[Britney Federline]

I'd rather keep in the possibility of friendly suppression--if I'm running near mg fire, even if it's friendly, it will remind me to keep my head down. Plus it may help teammates spread out a bit if one griefing mger shoots above a clump of teammates.

 

[illinifan]

obviously its not an issue in RO seeing as ostfront has no suppression.

what I'm talking about, is a friendly smg unloading a clip to the wall inches away from where you're set up, causing your screen to go all grey and shakey while having that heartbeat sensation

 

[skittlesareyum47]

Never was an issue with me either. But honestly, what COULD you do if it happened anyway? I mean there is no way to autodetect griefing by friendly suppression. Report it to an admin and hope for the best or go to a different server if it's that bad :/

This man speaks the truth.

 

[Zetsumei]

the only thing you can effectively do is stop supressive fire originating from friendlies in being able to suppress you. (at leas in a close radius).

What? I hope it's a joke. RO has one of the worst votekick systems seen in history of gaming. >:O

Perhaps a more effective votekick would be a small pop-up menu off to the right of the screen saying;

Kick Roberto
1. Yes
2. No

Kind of the same idea as with the source plug-in.

This isn't much of an issue, it happens often in DH even when your beside people. Infact, I can't ever remember people deliberately doing this to annoy others.

Not true -- RO1 DOES have suppression. Ever notice that when bullets barely miss you your screen blurs for a second, like your player is flinching? Even though it's subtle, I always thought it was fairly effective, save for the fact that it didn't make it any harder to aim back at my suppressor, which the new system looks like it will fix.

I always thought it was a big pain in RO1 when I'd find a good shooting position, then some dude opens up right behind me with an MG and my screen blurs out. Technically it IS realistic, though. MG bullets don't know what side they're on.

haha I hated that too. Though, It was probably me there. I'm a complete dufus with the MG, and often forget to put a space between me and my friendlies.

MG = Huge pointer yelling "I'M OVER HERE"

I must be playing a different game than you

Here's a thought, run away! I've never seen this as a problem, ever. Never heard of anyone complain either. Sure I've seen it in spawn, but that's like 2 seconds of pointlessness. Even if you are "suppressed" you don't magically **** your pants and can't move.

 

[illinifan]

suppression is so minimal in ost, imo, that if you're good enough you can basically ignore it and shoot normally

hoes suppression effects seem much more realistic and it looks like it would be very hard to shoot back if you are suppressed

 

[Pvt.Skoko]

No one has mentioned yet that the RO1 suppression effects could also be turned off in the video settings.

Not fully you can turn off the motionblur and replace it with blackening of your screen. However it does not turn pitch black so change your gamma and you can see perfectly.

I hope that the suppression system for RO2 hos really affects players and is not just a visual effect. Because after a while you learn to ignore visual effects.
