Never mind dev blogs, I'd say he doesn't come to the forums often.

Though, there are still a dedicated few!

Well yes I just joined 2 days ago, so you'd be about right : D...good observation though...

R.I.P Murder Taxi

Having a vehicle running people over in a shooting game very much defeats the point of the game. Might as well just play GTA if that is what you want to do.

Well it seems the community was able to answer your question without becoming total d**ks about it. A successful thread if you ask me.

`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.

Despite being less effective (and annoying) at running people over I've found there's still pretty good for harassing squads and drawing fire away from a team or squad defending a position. I've actually been having quite a lot of fun with that.

Actually it's a war game. Having different methods of killing opponents is a good thing. Keeps people thinking.
If there were ways of killing using World Hazzards (such as overloading a shield generator for a bridge over lava so people on the bridge fry till the shield comes online again) I would definitely plan on how to lure people into such traps.

I can attest dieing from being run over, recently

You need to be running at a good pace to "Kill" a trooper, Otherwise you bounce off to the side. - Your in Power armor after all.

2 LAVs ramming head one at max speed will kill both LAVs..... I count that as a win since There were 2 people in the enemy LAV and I was alone in mine.

I feel they are operating as balanced.

The small turrets are still **** though. Don't forget to fix those. God knows that Blam! did........

I dunno guys..I mean its a ******* fast moving car...they dont push folk to the sides on impact, and like I said you are usually able to hear them from a good enough distance to react, and the ones that you can't do anything about (the ones at full speed if you're just walking in a very vunerable spot) are still able to kill you post nerf anyways sooooo...yeh

Only way I would have fully accepted this nerf was only if slow cars would just push you to the side, cus irl a slow moving car might just push you back violently and not kill you but this this game doesnt have realistic physics like that, pushing to the sid would work (unless smashed into a wall)

But when I'm driving a relatively fast moving car...kinda wanna run people over.

Hhehehe! yeeaah those turrets do suck, (the missle launcher is ok, but the turret is just there for show) they should fix that.

Hope you are not comparing running people over as well developed plan. I agree variety is good, but driving around in an indestructible jeep and running over people being an effective strategy to win a match not so much. It just gets silly seeing a bunch a soldiers on a battle field throw down their guns and do nothing but run people over. If it was a once in a while thing when the circumstances allowed ok, but all the time?

I don't argue that you should not be able to run people over, but it should not be the level that murder taxis once was.

And good ******* riddance. They caused the Opness of AV to show it's ugly face. Oh well, they were broken already. Now, stop yer' yapping and finish up the vehicle fix your scheming up!

Oh wait, before you go, ETA for that thread and DEV blog should get here?

I will be doing my best to get it done during this week. Fingers crossed nothing horrible crops up to stop me finishing it.

Ha! Don't pretend people only died crossing the road.

Heck, these things were inside CQC areas, smashing people into obstacles, jumping off buildings and mountains onto people, doing circuits around maps (inside or outside) to Benny Hill music on some videos. On certain maps you could jump out of the MCC and be roadkill half a second later. If the driver didn't get you first time you end up being chased back and forth until you were on top of or behind something or squished.

It's was embarrassing. Funny in retrospect but I wouldn't want to go back.

Murder taxis are just idiot proof now.

I still kill a lot of people with them when I'm harassing the Caldari in FW.

You just have to think a little, which is hard for the common duster.

scouts are still easy targets

R.I.P Murder Taxi

I guess the Murder Taxi was..... Murdered.

The small turrets are still **** though. Don't forget to fix those. God knows that Blam! did........

If you can hop out at the last second they'll still explode, but you won't be in the car.

Murder taxi's were nerfed. Full speed for the kill, everything else does damage and knocks them off to the side.

So Today I shot gunned this heavy and jacked his car, and since it was a nice car I thought to myself "hey time to run ******* over!" as I havent done it in a while....and when I tried to run people over the game seemed to have been pushing them to the side? I dunno if that was a bug or did ccp "balance" cars too now?

Now I know vehicles can be a little cheap and ****** to be suddenly run over by...and the fact that they can be almost anywhere and at any time and some players use it as a main reason to get kills, and can get quite annoying..but, they're cars, and honestly if you keep your ears perked enough you can hear them coming.

If by that you mean, people were pissed at dying when a car crawling up hill at 5 MPH touched them, then yes you are absolutely right, we evil crybabies made the @ssholes who relied on one hit kill machines actually have to try and shoot someone...in a FPS.

Properly fitted small blasters can tear through any dropsuit or at least heavies, first hand experience here.

I am actually wondering if they rebuffed them a bit.

I have actually run over folk at not that great a speed and I literally saw a vehicle stop about 5 meters behind me, I turned to run and it still killed me (maybe if they pin you to a wall it auto kills though - that may have happened)

B.I.H Murder Taxi

At about 80% spped and higher it's a kill. Hell, I've gotten murder taxi kills with my Maddy lol

''WTF cars!? kill my enemies!''

SWEET.DELICIOUS TEARS.....

yeah because its totally fair for me to lose my 250k isk proto logi suit because I didn't "look before crossing" while you sit in a nearly invulnerable LLAV...... totally fair! I mean, its only right that some people can go through matches flawlessly without fear of dying while everyone else should just deal with it......

i know it sucks, and im not saying it isnt a **** move to do it just for kills for the whole match.
but its always rock paper scissors in this universe, yer ur suit cost 200k, but the llav probably cost at least 50% more and if he pissed u off that much u could have spawned a milita tank for around 150k and ruined his fun.

You're able to fall from 200 feet and only take 500 HP damage, seems reasonable that a 70km/h car won't destroy your suit

The differens is the momentum of the car if the car hits you at 70k/ph it will do more dammage than hitting the ground at the speed you travel at when fakling as yiu havent reached terminal velocity from the hight you jump from the mcc. A 2 ton car will do more dammage to you tan you would to yourself if say you could run at a wall at 70 k/ph as the car will have more forcw behind it to move at that speed.
