People logging out and back in to avoid deaths...

It isn't just team vs. team, there are plenty of completely 1 on 1 fights. These are fights that the winner deserves the points for, and the person logging out is ruining this to avoid a bad K/D. No one said anything about a farm either, but this game is driven by gaining certs and you get the most of those by killing enemies and vehicles. They should not be able to exploit the game for their own benefit and the loss of XP to the deserving player.

Who cares. I don't.

You shouldn't either. Now you've posted about it, you seem to care more than the other guy cares about his silly KDR enough to post about it.

Once again, you won the fight. Why are you not happy about this? Or is it again tied to getting your XP/Cert fix again?

The problem is, it is an exploit that players should not be allowed to do. I didn't win? He left the game and came right back in a Mossie. That isn't winning at all. Stat padding isn't cool, period. If you don't care? Neat! That doesn't mean anyone else is wrong for thinking this isn't something that should be allowed.

And for a person who doesn't care you cared enough to post in said thread. See how that swings both ways.

I dont care about XP denial. Nice try on the pointless comeback though because you have no valid argument.

Then don't worry about the thread.

So is it also wrong to care about getting XP now? This game has done tons to improve player XP, so clearly the dev team cares about this and so do the players. This is why vehicle XP went up, assist XP, even base captures. They also added the ribbons, and are going to be removing the friendly fire on explosives so peoples kills get stolen less frequently. Progression drives this game, and no one is wrong for wanting to get the XP they deserve. This exploit is not fair, and should be eliminated.

Reminds me of the early DAYz days.

You dont deserve XP for a kill you didn't finish. don't worry if they guy logs out or not. It would just make me laugh because he felt he had to cuz he cared about his KDR so much.

I didn't finish it because the guy instantly poofed right in front of me. I had my sights on him, I was going to have the kill. He knew this, and left the game. Probably with a macro, considering how quickly it happened. That isn't okay, if you want to disagree go ahead but this is an exploit that needs to be fixed regardless of whether or not you can understand the problem with it.

Good, you won. What's the problem?

Also, prove he logged out because of you.

Hence the reason why he's asking for a fix. This isn't rocket science here.

There is no fix. If someone wants to log out, they'll just force the game closed. Sometimes people just have to leave.
Now prove the target is leaving specifically to deny you some meagre XP points.

Yeah it sucks especially when applied to an extreme low and pathetic like Daddy, the world wide shame of Planetside 2.

You aren't very good at reading are you?

The player logs out immediately, the avatar remains in game for up to 30 seconds unless it is aggressed. This has been in the game for like 6 years now.

Ps: See Daddy, see Daddy log.

The guy actually did admit to it when I messaged him. Forcing the game to close would at least make the player spend more time getting back into the game. They could also make it so the players body stays in the game briefly so they cannot ALT F4 to avoid deaths as well. A timer would certainly cut down or eliminate this problem entirely.

This is an exploit, and it needs to be fixed.

Daddy br100 has 43.08 KDR doing this.

He uses Macro to make it quicker when quitting the game.

What's funny about this is the fact that PS2 ranks at about a 2 out of 10 in the skill required department in the grand scheme of things. Bragging about your k/d in this game is like winning the special olympics without being special.

I agree that it shouldn't matter, but if it causes these people to exploit the game surely SOE could add a logout timer? Or anything to prevent this rampant shenanigans.

You are right, and I believe the person that did it today was also using a macro. The response time was so quick it had to be.
