You guys are already dodgin out of it? seriously? damn. that's too bad. you're gonna end up forcing a buncha new players to be saddled with either useless players, afk'ers or worse, redline camp snipers. not to mention the einsteins who jump in other peoples vehicle drops. No man... there is no abuse of V2K. that's just an excuse that average players use to get out from under the kick. if you're a good player, you're not threaened by it. if you're a bad player, hell yeah you're scared. better get better. fast.
This is the attitude which causes people to say V2K is abused to begin with.
So, you can kick new players who you don't think are good? People who snipe? Who's gonna replace them?
Oh look, another random. Kick. Oh look, another. Kick. Oh another. Kick. I hate that guy. Kick. I hate his corp. Kick. I don't know that guy. Kick. A sniper. Kick. Never heard of him. Kick. A newberry tanker with only militia tanks. Kick. Another sniper. Kick. Grenade spammer. Kick.
You and the others voting will be kicking players all match trying to get good players in, leaving the rest of your team to fight the match without you. Which makes you even worse than a redline sniper.
Not only that, by kicking people you are taking away from their gameplay experience just for the sake of your own. Better match making is all we need, V2K does nothing but promote douchebaggery. And there is enough of that already.
Most importantly, since these battles are not paid for by you, but by an NPC entity (Blood Raiders, Mordu's Legion, Templis Dragonaurs, etc.), no other merc hired by said entity should have the right to cancel a contract that another randomly selected player has accepted to fight that match for that NPC entity. The cancellation of such a contract would have to be up to the NPC entity itself, meaning the match making needs to be fixed. |

CCP FoxFour wrote:Zekain Kade wrote:I want a vote to kill" option :) OK now THIS I can get behind. The kill though should come in the form of a pink laser from orbit. Just so everyone who sees him die knows it was due to the vote. Need to emphasis it to EVERYONE. :D
I.... could see that. Only twice per person per match though. And it can't be done when they are driving a vehicle, that would just be a way to grief tankers and what not (they are a whiny bunch, but even I can see that would easily be abused). It would be a good deterrent for those people sniping with Thales from the redline or those douche's running full proto gear with officer weapons in a pub match against total newberries. You're gonna steal all the kills by playing dirty? You're gonna lose a couple Balacs in the process.
(Only kidding about the proto gear bit.... well..... sort of kidding) |

As I said earlier, the most important thing is that it would not script with our entire world here. Our fiction has been set up for us. We are mercs hired in groups or individually to defend or attack districts for NPC entities (for now anyway). Your employment to your contractor isn't up for peer review, that would make no sense:

Matchmaking is the NPC entities means of determining who ends up on your team, so if you don't like how your teams are shaping up, look for better matchmaking, not V2K. |

If it's not, then this game is f'ed
leaving V2K out and FF off will kill this game faster then anything else.
Peace
B Not sure we need vote to kick. What we really need though is the ability for directors to kick people from corporation matches. This becomes more important as corporation matches become more relevant, important, and you get the ability to bring none-corp members into corp matches. I think a lot of these kind of features, ability to kick and friendly fire, why shouldn't we be able to vote to kick useless snipers or people who just feed enemies kills?
Because you are contracted to do a mission. Same as that other person. You are not the contractor, you are the contractee. When you start paying others to do missions for you, then you should be able to kick whom ever you like from those matches. But until then, you are a merc, not a contractor, so you have no power over the contract of another merc. |
