Deconstruction Mechanics Response?

@ RadarX or Higgles (because he needs a nickname, and @mhigby doesn't roll off the tongue)

Can we get some kind of official response on the deconstruction mechanic? There has been a lot of debate on this topic, and it'd be nice to know whether or not it's working as intended. For one thing, it would silence any further debate (if not the arguments), and even if there is no official verdict it lets the community know it's at least on your radar.

Let's not turn this thread into another deconstruction mechanic thread. There are plenty of them, and if you want to add your voice to the discussion, try elsewhere in this subforum, ideas, vehicles and bugs (I think there's a thread in each of them). This is just a call for more information, or (at best) an official statement. Agree or disagree with the mechanic, if you'd like to know, speak up.

I'd ask on Twitter, but 1) I hate that site, 2) I no longer have an account on that site and 3) there are plenty of people, sans twitter, who would like to know.

Bumping for info. Stupid scroll speed of general

Indeed, I would definitely like to know what is the official stand on the subject for the devs because this is a serious game breaking feature for me and it's happening more and more frequently, my bf who has played since august had never or rarely seen it until lately whereas I started a week ago and have seen this happen very oftenly enough to consider it a serious issue.

What happened to that "quitting until deconstruct is fixed" thread? I don't see it anymore.

I soled a mossy and a lib and after i destroyed the mossy and started pwning the lib, the lib deconstructed to deny my XP.

I survived a 2v1 and I only get the mossy XP. So gay.

I think it got deleted, possibly due to the 'quit until' part as I haven't seen other threads on the subject being removed...it's a shame considering the OP had made a well written post about it and really, declaring he won't play until then its his opinion, no reason to remove it

-signing up again for 'want a official statement from PS2 management regarding decon issue'-

Going by the roadmap it looks like they don't think adding a timer to it is a good idea :/

What makes you say that? I mean, surely it's just developer oversight of the scale of the problem, or perhaps a need to strike a balance between functionality and gameplay. At the most spiteful, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that SOE is deliberately ignoring it, as anything which slows EXP gain theoretically pushes people towards boosts. But I doubt this is the case. Just because it's not on the roadmap doesn't mean it's not on their radar

Bump because this happened to me for the first time earlier. Sundy vanished right in front of me, first time playing HA in ages and this.
nah

Bumping. There's still a lot of these threads. The sooner there's an answer, the sooner everyone shuts up about it.

C'mon Radar, I'm trying to make your job easier

We want an answer!

Bumping once everyday and maybe SOE will answer today.

6 Deconstructs tonight. 2 prowlers, 1 mossie, 2 sundies and a liberator... I think it is safe to say, yes "i am mad bro".

Deconstructing should take 30 seconds and the vehicle being deconstructed should take no damage during that time or it cancels the deconstruct

It's not jsut deconstructing, it's intentional suicides and bailing/crashing that also needs to be adressed.

Bumping once everyday and maybe SOE will answer today.

Please SOE respond to these guys. It would be one topic less that will be clogging up these forums if there was a definitive answer.

Or they could let it die like any other number of FotM forum campaigns. People still moan about scatmaxes, I don't even recall so much as tweet from them on the subject. My guess is they have better things to be bothered with and to stop your time and effort on the subject.

Bump up.

Yes there is a official stand from SOE to this, and yes we know you probably just don't want us to know the ugly truth -such as you intending to let this exploit of xp denial and bail out to continue for no reason- but we deserve to know and for some of us this is a very annoying and game breaking feature.

Care to apologise, you dolt?

Noone asked you to respond. This was for people looking for an answer, not troll bait. In future, please keep quiet
