I said MCC camping was solved -- not all camping was solved.

You're mistaking MCC "camping" with MCC "afk SP farming".

MCC Camping is what your illustration will expose players that spawn to.

AFK farming is not solved by this. All you've done is partially eliminate an element of player immersion.

Not sure why it matters if some other player on the field feels like hiding anyway.
If the fight (probably a public match) isn't going well, because people feel like AFKing and/or hiding somewhere. That's not my problem. The match is lost, I'll just earn some money and snipe a few protosuits on the other side.

The problem is player laziness, and the passively earned in-battle SP (that the players voted for).

You can't stop people from being lazy by trying to force them to help you in a public match, and you probably won't be able to change the passive in-battle SP gain either if you brought it to a vote a second time.

Bad teammates are a fact of every multiplayer game in existence, and no amount of Systemic changes you create will change this. Get over it.

If so, why? nice pic. ccp should hire u for concept art but in truth yes that would save us from mcc campers just getting sp and mcc snipers... for the most part. u can still snipe on top of the mcc.

Then again... That would be a pretty funny thing to see. I rarely choose to spawn on the MCC to begin with, although jumping out of it (especially as a full squad) never fails to brng a smile to my face.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 2410	Posted - 2013.05.25 08:36:00 - [11] - Quote Disagree. AFK players will just find another place to camp. How about getting rid of the SP gained for time in game crap for once?

To solve camping on top of the MCC they should have the missiles hitting the MCC do ridiculous splash/knock back damage. They will either die or be blown off.

Your squad may be waiting to spawn together in the MCC. So that 30 seconds is a grace period.

Ladders, steps, whatever it takes to be able to reach those places now that only drop ships can travel.
Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens 175	Posted - 2013.05.26 00:55:00 - [17] - Quote Fixing AFK is actually difficult. The OP's idea has the problem of you getting the slightest bit of lag and getting insta-dead. The whole "get rid of 1 second = 5 SP" is unfair to new players when that may be the ONLY SP they will end up getting. I have seen ideas go back "1 WP = 5 SP and 1 Second = 1 SP" but that is really off base. Same problem as above but people that can pull 1,500 WP in a 10 minute Domination map suddenly go from 4,500 WP to 7,800. Newer players spend a huge amount of time trying to cap out while organize squads cap out almost instantly. A vote kick system could work but having played TF2 all these years I have noticed that people almost always just say yes. I have gotten kicked so many times for "AFK" despite being number one performer as an Engineer or Demo Man. It is not an easy fix.

Tankin Tarkus Quafe Runners 21	Posted - 2013.05.26 01:12:00 - [21] - Quote when i first heard about sniping in and on the mcc i tried both and noticed the mcc's hitbox is already larger than its model if they made it even larger still(not like itd matter considering only the nulls and mccs can damage them) it would make it impossible to shoot anything other than the mcc thatd deal with that but wouldnt do anything about the mcc/redline afkers

I don't accept problems as they are. I try to fix them instead. But you're right about one thing -- I did call it MCC Camping when I meant to say MCC AFK SP Farming. What you're wrong about is that there's no solution to it. If you want to hear my thoughts about it, including a solution, then read this: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=82309&find=unread Nah, better yet, just keep playing the game. You'll be happy when it's fixed, but since you don't believe there are any possible solutions, then you should continue being "over it." I wonder what that's like.. to feel defeated when immediately confronted with a difficult problem.
