[jk] How about instead of killing people they bash into, they fling them miles into the air across the map!? [/jk]

If we're talking physics, then lets see a grenade versus a LAV. Hmmmm any questions I do I still get run over by LAV and LAV still runs along like nothing happens.

Maybe they oughta get punted right back into their MCC.

thats irrational thinking. it would make more sense they get dragged across the map as you drive.

This is ridiculous. What happens when a car hits you? It hurts like a b*tch, right? If you are hit hard enough, it kills you right? That's exactly what happens here. You can graze someone in here and they take partial or full damage depending on how hard they are hit.

TL;DR: Working as intended.

I would like to see ccp get rid of vehicles running over people and get the kill for it. I think it is cheating, this is a first person shooter game not grand theft auto.

I already tried this some time a go :

Don't expect any support from the forum trolls, this is type of thing that they love to pick on.

Getting roadkilled is annoying when it happens to oneself but it is actually an okay part of the game.

Note: There has been better threads which request not the removal of roadkills but scaling casualties with impact speed and possibly damaging the vehicle (LAV) based on impact as well.

So.. if you're in a shiny 50-500k ISK suit.. why didn't you watch for vehicles running around? Why didn't you have AV in place to take them out before deploying something so expensive? Don't run what you can't afford to lose, right?

I've had so many people try and run me over last night and utterly fail because I saw it coming.

So you saying that i should "anticipate", when a moron is going to be driving around looking for free kills ? or never use my best dropsuits just in case is one around ? so what is the point of SP and skill books, if we only going to be using the starter dropsuits all the time, anyway?

People complaining about "collision damage", yet is not collision damage for hitting a hardened dropsuit with shields.

See those LAV icons running around the map? I sure do.. someone on the team typically gets an eye on them, and during that spawn countdown you get an opportunity to see where it might be going anyway. If you know a HAV is on the field, you deploy heavy AV equipment. If you know LAVs are running around trying to run people over (or you can treat any LAV that's bullrushing skirmish lines like it is) than you keep your head up.

If your expensive dropsuit is too expensive, then don't use it. Your trained skills do enhance even the militia suits to some degree. I anticipate vehicles, especially LAVs to be used for anything BUT transport since people invest in getting it brought to ground.

Your link about collision damage is irrelevant. I stated I could support the notion of LAVs taking some damage a result of hitting infantry, not asserting that it does, did, or was scaled properly.

I think collision damage is VERY important. It will stop people from going in killing sprees with a LAV, if they know that they can only do it for a limited amount of time, before they blow up.

Perhaps.. the question would then become "by how much". I'd suspect that a new line of skillbooks could be brought in too.

I'm cool with this being a suggestion but thinking of it as cheating is just . . . well . . . silly. Cheating, really? They cheated? lol.

AND . . . note he said it shouldn't count as a kill, not that it shouldn't kill people. The recommendation involves removing the kill so that there is less encouragement to engage in this play style. He is correct in his thinking overall and I agree to a certain extent (except for the whole cheating point, lol).

My way of discouraging the mechanic is to carry packed AV grenades. Stand in middle of road, look like easy target, toss AV nade as LAV rushes at you, toss nade, watch LAV slowly decelerate as its flaming wreck stops just in front of you or offers you a nice flaming love tap to congratulate you on a job well done.

Keep your head on a swivel, turn up your audio so you can hear that distinctive LAV sound and educate people on the hazards of LAV driving . . . by killing them.

[You obviously haven't been introduced to MY LAV

A good solution all in all.

Not getting the kill would address those of low honor not engaging in actual combat but wishing they had a real drivers license or recalling when they had one before those pesky DUI related ... issues.

I got hit by a Precision Strike in my HAV the other day. I boogied as fast as possible and worked hard to save her. Alas, it was not to be. However, I only (died) and they got no points as it took some time before I lost the fight with the fires raging within. Same thought applies in the death is more tolerable when I know they didn't receive any points.

I feel as though we all should be using rubber bullets as to not get killed by guns.
I just hate it when I get killed by a gun that is shooting real pew pew fake bullets at me.
