Something Needs to be Done about people flying into the ground to avoid being killed

[Unknownaussie]

what are you talking about hurting innocents and abused by a game you need help…

[Unknownaussie]

bahahahahahahahaha

[Unknownaussie]

how is it asking for a participation award and a me problem if my missile is about to hit someone and instead of taking the L they fly into the ground that makes no sense there champ

I don’t suppose much can be done but I can see why it’s annoying. The only consolation is you took an opposite team member out if team play is your thing.
Really ,the proximity kill award is a pain in the arse. Just makes a mockery of the game worse than the voluntary death.

Rewarding players for doing nothing and punishing players further for making a mistake is bad game design.

Theres a fine line between making a mistake, and some dude that cant shake you ploughing into the ground at 900 kmph.

but as been stated impossible system to implement as the distinction for an automatic system is difficult.
Unless it reads the imputs from the player?

@AlvisWisla

It’s a valuable perspective even if I think its wrong based on psychology.

based on what psychology?

Im sorry reading your earlier “example” there was no reference to any studies, nor factual psychological points on how adding a system that prevents people from throwing the match would cause further stress or duress?

@AlvisWisla

You know how many players I’ve seen intentionally crash because I was behind them this year? 1, out of the hundreds that have crashed in-battle, only one did it intentionally.

You know how many I see per match? Less than one.
It’s almost exclusively people misjudging their turn rates.

As of right now, in 3 games ive had 4 people do it.

Yesterday there was about 10 people in 5 matches, folks in my team doing it to.

Then add it based off of imputs.

They have the imputs of the player, if its a genuine mistake it’s far easier to spot than if the person turns around and throws themselves into the ground.

@EddieVanHalo

Not in GRB. I had a plane crash into the bridge above me when I was under it and I got the kill.I never even saw it let alone fired at it.

GRB is buggy as hell for this kind of stuff, and its completely different in idea. GRB a drone can die 5km above you and it gives whomever is closest the kill.

In ARB if you are literally in a dogfight and especially up at 9.0 and above, your distances will be far closer. talking withint 3kms max.

So say within a 1km radius to the person adds a kill to the closest player. Then it would 100 percent stop people just tossing themselves into teh ground when they see theyre about to lose.

I mean theyre dead anyways so what difference does it make.

@EddieVanHalo

I also get hit by a single bullet doing no harm and then five minutes later when I bail the guy gets the kill.

Thats because he has a hit on you, and you bail.
that mechanics existed in the game since the get go.

And I’ve only at most been suspicious of 1 pilot in the last month, the rest failed to understand the turning circle of their aircraft.
I didn’t care that the 1 pilot crashed cause I saved a missile anyway and ended up winning the match

I don’t want credit because people make an error in judgement; I’ve had enough participation trophies in my childhood I don’t need more as an adult.
