Warpgate trolling is out of control

    Ever since they made you able to take damage at the warpgate, it has become the worst place to be. Idiots team killing, trolling, destroying vehicles. Even if I just land on an airpad (or even another building far away) you risk some idiot with a lib or galaxy trying to crush your reaver (because their weapons are already locked). It's really limiting my enjoyment of the game by a lot. I'd sooner have it back the way it was with invincible reavers trying to flip my Galaxies than this.

    There are too many trolling idiots in this game (maybe particularly on NC Emerald). I think many don't even know how to leave the warpgate anyways, so lets bring back warpgate invulnerability so that I can enjoy the game again and they can continue to screw around without bothering others.

    There's a solution to this problem.... I just don't think they'll go there. They could remove all the warp gates and install sanctuaries.

    Seriously though, I hope they find a solution that doesn't require a complete redesign.

    Just bring back invincibilty... How is that such a hard thing to do?
    HOW DID IT EVEN DEACTIVATE???

    A patch to fix something broke something else, and rather than chase that whole line down to find the bug, they just disabled it.
    Standard game coding.

    This would be a step back, they did this because in the future we will be able to capture warpgates with the cont lattice.

    People were abusing an invincibility bug a few months ago, I guess the bug was never fixed.

    Not bad, SOE. Not bad at all...
  8. DatVanuMan

    How were they abusing it? Was it something done in the warpgate?

    There was something about warpgate invincibility that was allowing people to be invincible outside of the warpgate. So they'd go around killing other people and couldn't be killed in return.

    OH!!!!!!!!!! So that's how that one random LA couldn't die. Makes sense now, thanks man:)

    If you have weapons lock, does it prevent you from getting a vehicle?

    How about if you get weapons lock and die, you have to wait until the lock to ends before you can respawn?

    I once got sniped by this idiot when I was repairing my mossie. I ignored him the first time and went to re-repair my mossie when I get run over a lightning, manned by the same exact guy. And THEN that lightning goes on and destroys my mossie.

    It's this kind of stuff. Getting serial murdered by your "team" at the warpgate is bad enough, losing a vehicle is over the top. I usually avoid the warpgate if I can help it, but sometimes you are fighting from there and it's the best/only place to pull vehicles or resupply. So now we have to weigh out the risks of getting jacked by an enemy ESF at a random bases airpad or getting team murdered at the warpgate.

    Does SOE do anything about these warpgate trolls? Is it worth my time reporting them all?

    I get in game, I leave WG immediately.
    Redeploy, IA, something.
    Don't stay there.
    Nothing exciting there anyway.
    Log out in VR.
    Logs you in VR.

    It's definitely not just "Them" Americans, Woodman WG(As TR at least) is a place you do NOT want to stay for more than 5". And God help you if you decide you want to run a vehicle with a Squad mate by locking it, this is punished by friendly C4 as you wait... Same if you throw someone out to make space for said Squad mate, better hover where LAs can't reach just to be sure until your friend is there. Also watch for Mossie Stunt Crews ramming you... Sometimes on purpose, sometimes not.

    Checking your equipment? Use the Jump-Pads and do it inside one of the surrounding Towers' turrets. Your chances to be shot increase every single SECOND you stand still near a Terminal.

    Remember the time where points would flip on itself? There weren't any enemies in the hex but points would still got capped. There was an issue with the server tracking your position on the map. (The issue itself was caused by the mission system btw)

    For some people, the server thought that they were still in the Warpgate, thus giving them invincibility.

    When I'm standing idle in the warpgate doing outfit member promotions/removals I sometimes get knifed or headshotted. But that's rare, and only when idle.

    Wearing any kind of camo and staying longer than 5 seconds at the warp gate is also damn dangerous. :/
  19. Longasc

    And of course its worst on Emerald, but that's another topic. :p

    Aside from your faction being pushed back to the warpgate, why would you even spawn and stick around there? The only logical reason I see would be getting an MBT when your faction has no tech plants, but thats really an Esamir thing.
