I dealt with asshats TKing in MAG, I can deal with asshats TKing in Dust.

So long as CCP implemented draconian autoboot requirements (say 1 TK in a Pub and gone, 2 in FW, player limited in the joke faucet) it couldn't be abused to the extent that you are rightfully assuming it would without the benefit of some form of autoboot.

I have no plans to TK anyone (save one elitist asshat), as well as in defense of myself or my corpmates if the autoboot requirement > 1.

Actual risk needs to have a place in Dust, otherwise it gives Eve players more reason to hate Dust since Mercs get carte blanche as far as risk is concerned. Until there is FF in all gamemodes, there will be no real risk in Dust.



Also, that is a really bad analogy, it would've worked if you had said coins and wall sockets (food blenders are generally kept out of reach of small children, coins OTOH have a nasty tendency to be found in the oddest of places and wall sockets are at just the right height for little ones to try inserting things).

I want it because it is what I am used to in shooters (albeit, the watered down FF of MAG).

that's nice you enjoy the current trend of nonFF FPS games in the last 6 years where they phased out FF to target a softer audience (in a futile effort to mimic the success of the Wii) but many players managed in games where FF was standard way before MW1

FF is actually good for the community; ppl cant go around on the mic talking smack unless they're willing to back it up so ppl mind their manners more than run their mouths like so common in softcore games that they can hide behind some cheesy "i can't be killed by you" mechanic while talking smack.

when you have a shield to hide behind such as no FF you're free to run your mouth on mic with no repercussions such as a bullet to your head from a teamate.

everyone who's never played an FF game is so "OMG FF WILL DESTROY THE UNITY/COMMUNITY" but it actually improves it.

If people are allowed to just spam AoE weapons how will we ever know who is really elite?

IDGAF what people say on the mic, I want people to quit being scared little bitches about FF and HTFU.

It is possible to include it in such a way that it will be nigh impossible to grief with it, you know it, I know it, CCP knows it too.

There's just a bunch of whiny scared little bitches here on the forums who are terrified of needing to be more aware and needing to lrn2aim.

EDIT: @CCP can whoever is in charge of the forums software censoring code please upgrade from the lazy man's list of swear words? I'm not evading the profanity filter if I am using correct usage and the profanity filter just isn't catching it.

@Billi Gene
On closer examination, I wanted to mention that I find it laughably absurd how you try to draw a correlation between changing some pixels (really all that would be happening) and the actual effects that internet bullying can have. If you can't take being "griefed" by being shot in an FPS then do you really think that FPS is the game for you?

Sensibly implemented, FF would make griefing with TKing (what you are so obviously afraid of) more of an annoyance than an enjoyable behavior. Make the penalty for FF kills be something that autoboots you after X amount of ISK destroyed and locks you out of that game mode for Y number of seconds (where Y is the total value destroyed with FF). If you don't TK enough value to autoboot you can finish out your match, though afterwards will be locked out for the appropriate length of time. This will allow it to act as a hammer to punish the blatant griefer as well as a switch with which to dissuade indiscretion.

Example 1): If the autoboot amount is 500k and TK Forgegunner laughs maniacally while drilling your 1.847896m ISK HAV into smoldering wreckage with his AFG, TK Forgegunner is autobooted and is locked out of Skirmish for 1.847896m seconds (aka 3 weeks).
Example 2): Same autoboot amount, same match, Imprecise Idiot chews through 375k in FF kills over the course of the match due to his "spray and pray" tendencies and liberal use of explosive weapons too close to teammates. He is allowed to remain in the match for the duration, though once over, he is locked out of Skirmish for 375k seconds (or 4 days and 8 hours). Hopefully (in Ambush or One and Only) he'll have learned to aim a little better and how better to choose when to throw the grenade and when to shoot face.

how is it internet bullying if it was a choice to join it? you could still play the regular modes. no on is advocating to remove that

your the one with the moral high ground and your speech when i'm asking for a consentual FF mode not forced on anyone so get over the moral high ground BS
