For my latest video I was intending to demonstrate Bounty Hunting at resource extraction sites. however things did not go to plan.....

I almost binned this recording, but then I thought what the hell... lets show this, perhaps the guys at FD will even see it and then they will know just how nerfed BH really is...

Watch the vid, see the bugs, discuss the significance of the Logoffski.... and ponder upon how a space MMO can survive with such undeveloped mechanics....

-bump- Anyone else worried about this ? its pretty serious IMHO the footage above shows just why they need to sort it out, 27 mins bounty hunting and 7 or 8 interdiction attempts all result in logoffs....

How many times are you going to post the same damn thing before you finally get tired of people pointing you to the dev comments on how they plan on *fixing* the log off?
Seriously its like bloody groundhog day with you.

Hey sorry for being repetitive, its just that until its fixed the game is pretty much unplayable as a bounty hunter (my chosen career path) so I guess i'm spending more time on the forums discussing it than actually playing the game...

Just incase you're serious about fsd'ing away. One if you jump to sc you can usually reinterdict them right away or use a wake scanner. Logoffs should result in a save wipe. Had atleast 4 people do it in eranin..

logoffski should be spammed so much until it's finally fixed for good. It is currently the n1 problem in the game and a big shame that a 2015 game can still feature something like this. It affects many professions in the open and literally ruins the game.

I watched the video and there was no logoffski, not even one.
You were never in combat with any pilot.

You accused one Cmdr of loggoff but in fact only dropped connection with him for less than a second and he was back (much too fast to log off and back on again),
he warped a bit and then dropped out again.
All the Cmrd who dropped out were in SC.

I have a feeling this is a problem with your internet connection and not the problem with people exploiting log off.

Even if it wasn't, people have the right to quit the game any time they want, excluding in the middle of combat, which none of your examples
in that video were.

The problem is sure to be on your side with your internet connection or maybe you think
that last CMDR who interdicted you also decided to log off when you submitted?
I bet you disappeared on his interdiction just like others disappeared on yours.

They said they were going to look into it. Not 100% fix it :)

They even said it was going to be almost impossible to stop it actually happening.

not saying logoffski isnt a thing and i believe it needs some attention from the devs, but in your vid it looked more like networking issues. also not sure if you want to engage wanted commanders with gimballed setup.

While I do empathise re the combat logging issue, it hardly restricts your bounty hunting at all, or are you just one of the players out there conveniently ignoring NPCs to attack players exclusively? Plenty of NPC bounties to collect in between collecting player bounties you know. . . which is what Frontier always intended of course. The ONLY way bounty hunting would be at all unplayable would be if you were conveniently ignoring NPC bounties. . .

Yep, and the best bit is that I have absolutely no idea how I got them...

Not really, I've got so far off NPC's bounties but i'd like for at least some encounters to be against other players, the NPC's make good filler but its never quite as much fun....
