redsh1rt 24 Posted July 16, 2012 Everyone knows a lot of people alt-f4 to avoid death/looting and most of you are probably against it being part of the game. I know I am.But what about logging in on top of people (or hot dropping them - yes I played Eve)? There have been situations where I have been told via VOIP that players in the vicinity of my spawn locaction and I've logged in and killed them because of that, it wasn't planned... it just happens (quite often tbh - we frequent high end loot areas). Isn't that similar to alt-f4ing to avoid death?! I mean... I'm logging in in a very advantageous position that will likely lead to their deaths.The other day I killed someone because of that, and he had 10 minutes to log off (he knew I was there so I couldn't engage safely but he couldn't leave because of a sniper - it took a third to engage him because he assumed the third was me and got shot in the back as a result) but he didn't. Even after me throwing grenades at him (which landed right where I wanted them to for a change) and getting sniped at to cover me climbing ladders to kill him... he stayed logged in. But because I logged in close to where he was I killed him. Felt like a cheap kill to me, and if I'm honest I have a lot of respect for the [Denied] guys on LU136 for not logging off. Thanks for the M16 ACOG though, goes well with my PP-19!Just wanted to know your thoughts on logging in on top of people, who knows - maybe someone useful could come of the discussion! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Virindi 5 Posted July 16, 2012 Not as bad as alt+f4 but pretty damn close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BanditoTheBandit 23 Posted July 16, 2012 Well in my view if you stay in a spot for so long that a guy can log in ontop of you, well you deserve it really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) How about I just get a script to make me invisible, so I can shoot you in the face with a Makarov?It would be a pretty fair, but cheap kill, right? Right? Guys?(Needless to say, this won't be happening. But the situation is pretty much the same.)NICE AD BRO... Have my beans. That's the most hilarious spam I've seen.

Guys?(Needless to say, this won't be happening. But the situation is pretty much the same.)Well the difference being it's perfectly legal and legit to spawn on someone (or to alt-f4 for that matter) with the way the mechanics are at the moment - neither are cheats even if in some cases they net the same result. I guess I'm bringing this up so maybe it gets some attention and something gets done about it down the line (just like alt-f4ing will get addressed when the game goes stand alone).I fail at editing.

WhiteTigerShiro 25 Posted July 16, 2012 It's a very slight bit better than people who will server-hop during a battle to run to a better position to flank the opposing side. The only saving grace is that it's completely circumstantial, and it isn't like your friends are going to NOT warn you about people being close to your spawn location. I'd say it's something of a wash, over-all; so long as you aren't specifically planning for it, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yours and the 400 other threads relating to ALT-F4'ing and Ghosting have given enough attention as it is.You could always do a quick check on the search.

What I'm on about is different. You can tell from server logs when someone is server hopping to get in an advantageous position - You can't tell from the logs when a player who hasn't logged in for hours is told on Mumble that someone is on your spawn location and a threat to your team.

Mourek 40 Posted July 16, 2012 If you're not a dumbass you won't log off in a populated area. ALT+F4 much bigger problem, lost dozens of kills because of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
