How can someone destroy my mosq and then kill me.

In an area with not a single enemy and then not be weapon locked?

I have a little while to play some Planetside and it is pretty dead so I just decided to follow these skirmishes. Well a big problem is that I have ran into 5 ****ing team killers who kill when there are literally no enemies in the area. I reported each and everyone of them.

My question is, is SOE like Riot where violations of rules are dealt with and accounts can get perma banned. Or will my report do literally nothing and the guy will be back to team killing immediately.

Prolly nothing will happen and they will be back to thier TKing bull$h1T soon enough.

Well that kills it for me. I have been waiting for a 2x sale on SC and I was going to grab the $45 option but between the constant pop imbalance, everyone flooding Indar all the time when there are two other continents that are fun, and this I just can't justify it.

I was willing to over look the other two as reasonable but if they aren't even willing to moderate their community properly I'm not even going to bother dropping any more than the $2 I already have.

Is that really the whole story? I have a feeling a part of the story is missing.....

It really is. They were all BR1 so they were most likely troll alts. I am just more shocked at the number of them I encountered in the time of 30 minutes.

The most shocking one to me was the fact that one of them was allowed to destroy a mosq with a carbine and then wasn't weapon locked so he then turned around and killed me.

Was just wondering.In all my time with planetside never encountered something like that. If its really like that,just report and dont look back. Unlikely that this happens again

Sounds like your typical BR1 who just got his hands on an ESF. You just had a particularly unlucky experience and ran into 4 or 5 of them.

Your report gets heard, but it's not put under priority. The people who get reported by 30, 40, 50 different people at once send up flags for the SOE mods to look at.

Even if he did get looked at, TKing one person isn't going to land you with a ban. You TK all the time with HE, HEAT, Libs, idiots who run in front of your MAX suits, etc. and people don't get banned for that. Sometimes people revenge TK someone who's being an idiot (Looking at you CaptainAmeda) and TKing your team.


I find it highly unlikely these newbies all decided to just shoot you and ONLY you while you were doing nothing wrong. I feel like there's more of the story we're not hearing.

Don't expect any action to be taken that stops this sort of thing as they are most likely on different accounts rather than main account alts. I keep getting people dumping c4 during heated base defense - it cost us a fair few battles over the past few weeks. It is sadly a price exacted by the free to play model and without more serious action being taken then nothing is going to change.

Oh no the one who knifed my turret and then me to death then ran over to two other guys and started knifing them. Until a third guy just shot him.

The other two guys were in the squad and also reported the guy.

I wasn't just me that was getting killed.

I don't think they were newbies I think they were honestly just trolls with alts. The squad was 6 people and one of them was the knife guy, the LA with a carbine was just some random *******, a guy during a base cap came up to my mosq as I got out and ran around it then turned around it like he was trying to get in and shot me, a guy tried to stand on top of my mosq and he fell off and shot a rocket at me even though I warned him in the chat, and the other was a guy who I think was helping his friend farm by running me over and then rezzing me.

There isn't much more to it than that.

I understand that but I just find it ridiculous that the LA with a carbine was able to shoot at my mosq enough to destroy it and still not be weapon locked. Then kill me and then as the camera came off my body I saw him run off and heard firing which I assume was at another player on the roof.

Nanites.

You should have checked their chars friends list.That sometimes reveals the asshats sitting behind the keyboards.

People can and have been banned for TKing. But on the other side of the coin. Since accidental TKs can and do happen often and SOE cannot verify all the details on the incident, they would have to take the assumption of good faith route. You got to remember that the other person involved is also a customer of equal standing to SOE, until found to be otherwise. So until a clear pattern starts to appear or multiple TKs or reports happen. SOE will take little action.

Best thing is to report (always report) and move on. If they are a real griefer, then it will eventually catch up to them and your report will make up part of that.

Your report will do nothing.
The game has built in TK punishment, its called weapons lock, and it is working as intended.

If the same guy repeatedly TK's you, then that could be considered harassment, but only if their goal is to harass you.
Basically they would have to send you a harassing /tell along with blowing up your plane and Tk'ing you, or nothing will be done.

I have been TK'ed over 600 times on my NC character...


Welcome to planetside2?

We've asked SOE to put quicker weapon locks on lower BRs but they haven't done anything about it. Sadly.

There will be no more SC sales.

Edit - Or I guess, maybe not! https://twitter.com/j_smedley/status/421290050421133312

Not every TK is intentional.

Some are but thats a small minority atleast on cobalt VS.

Oh I get killed by team mates all the time. A Max not paying attention and releasing a barrage of bullets in my back, a heavy with LMG firing and I get in the way, trying to go across a fire fight and getting caught in the cross fire. Yeah that is all fine and dandy. I killed a couple people when I first started and I still hit friendly players when in tight areas.

I'm just baffled that the weapon lock is lenient enough to let a guy with a carbine destroy a vehicle and then a player and then run off and attack more players in an area with no enemies before it does anything.

Weapons lock definitely needs to be stricter. It should not reset when damaging the enemy. If you keep screwing up, then that's on you. You may even become a better player for it, in learning firing discipline and controlling your aim.

I just TK 'em right back and talk **** over the proxy. I stay grief free so I can usually defend myself quite a bit, and I generally wreck them because they are scrubs who are bad-bad-bad.
