grefing on planets

[sgt Melin]

As all know we had big problem when the game was relesed where commander could shoot other inside the station and kill anything and everything. When I saw davids latest video on the planets station. I thought, how have they stopped that on planets station. So not a commander hover over the station and kill everything that pops up from the station. if that can be done, there are those that will do that

*snicker*

I wouldn't worry about it. Wasn't sure if the video had it or not, but I presume bases will have the notion of no-fire zones (not sure how this fits in with Hostile bases - which are probably most definitely pew-pew zones).

But think about how many planetoids there will be? I find it unlikely, outside of popular systems, that you'll be griefed - with the exception of bases that are the target of Community Goals. But as Elite Dangerous is a game of options, you can simply drop to solo mode to do your thing.


I don't see it being a problem.

No doubt certain people will find ways to destroy the fun for others.
For some that is what being human is all about it seems.

I think it was stated that bases will have incredibly powerful anti-ship weapons. I suppose spaceports too.

I'm kind of looking forward to seeing the big anti-ship weapons these stations are alleged to wield - and their anti-griefing capabilities.

Ok if they have that it will stop hovering killers at least.

Yeah the landing on planets needs a nerf.....

How about playing the game first, seeing if it's actually a problem before moaning about it? Maybe?

Preemptively crying about "griefing". This forum gets worse and worse.

All with good reason...
And confusing "crying" with "absolutely valid concerns" is another good reason all by itself. Forum used to be better than that indeed.
Not sure I'd want to get surprise-pelted by an FdL or crushed by an Anaconda trying to smash me like the tiny fly I'll be down there in the mighty SRV. People will try all this, not a single doubt about that.

I'd reckon a disengage onto a Planet's surface will leave a low Energy wake behind. That means after the disengage and enjoying some calm time landed anywhere on a Planet - a "check six" might be in order.

IMHO it would be quite cool if we got a little bit of the CQC line-of-sight Sensor mechanics while on the Surface.
Touchdown in a canyon or hide your SRV in a deep crater? Would work I guess

Especially a rugged surface might make for some interesting hide&seek games.

agree that when you are outside station on planets.. you need to check your six. same as in space. I think it will get rather fun fights on planets with many cmdr around.

Well, that's the exact same thing people got told back in beta last year, when pointing out potential issues like that.

"Wait and see", "griefing won't be a problem" etc.

I accept your point, but i also predict it WILL become a topic.

 

[sgt Melin]

I have not talk about a nerf, or griefing are a problem on planets of anything of that, I wounder what they have done for prevent that. anwers like killminister did have nothing to do with this thred at all. please read the post .

 

[Agony_Aunt]

What? Horizons beta isn't even out yet, and people are already making threads about griefing in advance?

Is it the weekend or something? Oh right...

Just blame Code for everything.

I will enjoy so much shooting those little buggies coming out of the station *__*

Waiting behind the mountain, looking for blood

you have right, let us wait to monday when the storm of threads like this will come =)

For sensible people, who just want to play and enjoy their game without being picked on by the small amount of people who get their fun from griefing, there's Mobius.

For everyone else, there's Open.

Thinking ahead is considered a good thing by some.
Something FD clearly hadn't done in what was their first venture into open world multiplayer gaming....and it showed
It hit 'em in the butt hard when the first station gankers exposed the loopholes.
You feel making the same mistakes twice is the proper approach ?
Of course we need to see Horizons first to know exactly what can and can't be done, no arguing there.
I'm just saying it's just as legitimate to speculate over that as it is with all the other things that get speculated about.

 

[Sugarat]

fwiw, latest video shows "no fire zone" message on approach to outpost on planet..

.

the griefing will be cmdr hover over station and kill others when they cant fight back. they have low iq becourse they destroy the game for other trow a exploit. same as we had in station before. I are realy bad in english, but what i wrote in the post are rather clear. Do you understand or do I have to write a picture for you?

Still not griefing.
