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

It isn't the K/D... it is the principle. I bested a guy who had been owning me from up high in his precious vehicle. I finally get ready to murder him... in a straight 1 on 1... in which he started with a tank! And he logs out to rob me of a kill I deserved. It is an exploit, and it needs to be fixed. What PVP capable MMO does not have a logout timer? Most do, so this isn't an unreasonable idea.

I find it funny he was doing that much before, but still... the guy has a 43 K/D... He is clearly logging out all the time, and should be punished for that. If I was SOE, I would reset his stats or something to make him lose that precious K/D

If it acts like a noob ... If it smells like a noob .. If it logs like a noob .. It most certainly is one

Except i know that he also (at times at least) plays as a light assault so he can jump out of his mossie and survive now that nanite repair is very viable, im which case he would be using redeploy to get another ESF.

So again. SOE needs to add a logout timer if they want to address this issue. There is no reason to spend GM time on something like this. They need to be banning hackers aggressively and constantly.

So how would you propose fixing it?
For one the game is notoriously buggy and crash happy.
Two the amount of time to reboot the game and relog is far more than just respawning.

I don't think what you think it happening is happening as often as you think it is happening.

actually, it takes much less time to logout and log back in than it does to redeploy. Its about a 22 second difference.

Key word - RESPAWN.

The principle is you won. If he bails, you win. If he crashes, you win. If he suicides, you win. IF, and big IF, he logs out just to preserve his KDR (unproven), YOU STILL WIN. Yet here you are, screaming to have your cake and eat it too.

If there was no XP on the line, you wouldn't even be here.

Just stop it. They're not denying you victory. You won.

You're upset because they're denying you XP. You want the XP, you crave the XP, you need the XP. And like a crack addict when you don't get it, you come raging to the forums instead.

THATS ALL THIS IS EVER ABOUT.

They don't need to do anything, since it is a nonissue.
And who cares about Daddy. He's just a normal player.

A guy who constantly logs to maintain a 43.08 K/D is NOT a normal player. Quit trolling. This is an exploit that should be fixed.

Do you not get it? He logs out so he can avoid respawning normally. This is a huge time difference, he can log out, log back in... much quicker than he can wait for the next spawn after dying. They use this to avoid getting killed, and keep their K/D as high as possible.

Please stop with the yellow text, it does not help your argument. Your opinion on ME winning is irrelevant. Your opinion is not the standard everyone else has the follow. Once again, THIS PLAYER ADMITTED HE WAS DOING THIS INTENTIONALLY TO AVOID GETTING KILLED. He outright said so, and there are other players like Daddy who have been caught doing this and would obviously have to be with ratios as high as his.



The XP is less of an issue, the principle of the matter is the biggest. I deserved that kill, and I did not get it. You are also lying to yourself if you try to deny the fact that this game is built around progressing your character and making them better. What if everyone logged out and no one ever got kill XP? People would slog along barely able to level up. You would not play this game either if you had no way to earn certs and purchase better stuff for your character.



I wanted the kill first and foremost, but I most certainly deserved the XP as well. This is an exploit and your diehard obsession with defending it almost makes me think you must be a user of this tactic as well. It is irrelevant though, because what you think is okay or not, is not how I have to view things. You cannot seem to acknowledge this fact though... that we don't have to agree at all. Is that something you can't stand? Someone having a different opinion?

A simple, and easy log out timer. Your argument is that this game is buggy so we shouldn't fix it? Why fix anything? Why update anything? The game is buggy remember? New continent??? That is going to be buggy right? Scrap it!!!

Does this seem silly to you? Because it should. A log out timer would be one of the easiest things they ever made, and MMO's from a decade ago have had them. So how exactly is this a huge thing to fix? It isn't.

s

still takes 15 second to respawn to the warpgate.

Hit the nail on the head.

Considering the length of time it takes to sign back in and get back into the action, he's penalizing himself and his faction waaaaaay more for the sake of artificially inflating a pointless number. The guy's an idiot, likely a young boy. Hopefully he'll learn better by the time he hits puberty.

Everyone needs to start logging out to avoid deaths. SOE won't solve the problem until it reaches epidemic proportions the way that vehicle deconstruction did... so the sooner we make it a game-breaking problem, the sooner they'll act to fix it.

I like that we can identify your posts by the text color. Makes it easy to recognize the ********.

This may come as a surprise to you, but people generally enjoy killing their opponent in first person shooter games.
Madness, I know, but -some- people derive satisfaction from out-shooting, out-smarting, or out-maneuvering their enemy to get a kill.

Hahaha, it's always priceless to see people catch up.

It's like watching your kids grow.

It's not about banning for logging out, its about abusing it to avoid death. It's exactly the same as cheating, because it is cheating, especially as allot of those use Macro's to do it. There is a difference from someone logging out to someone logging out any time they about to die.

You get EXTRA XP points for the kill so when i am 99% away from that and someone commits suicide just so i don't get the kill or jumps out of his ESF again just so i don't get the kill it's wrong and shouldn't happen.
