What even is this… Like, why are you so adamant in trying to beat me down? My concerns are directly valid…
Well it does if you had a look yourself as you couldn’t deny that the 2 bots that are feeding kills to the real player aren’t doing as I alledge…
The fact they all had the name formula for a botter made it clear, but the premium jet taxiing on the end of the runway, and the biplane flying circles above the same airfield, and the actual player of the 3 coming in to get them, makes itabsolutely clear they are doing this for this angle.
I’m sorry if you can’t understand this, but it absolutely doesn’t make my allegations fruitless when the replay actually shows otherwise.
‘I will not make further comments’ because you know you literally screwed up by trying to make out I couldn’t see the instance, and threatened me with the EULA over having another account, which really, made it clear you weren’t reading the posts…
If you want to look for yourself, I’ll PM you the link to the replay so you can see…
There’s nothing wrong with looking at a potential issue, and even spectating matches or game modes one does not play. And I agree with @FlyingDoctor that in the Server Replays one would be able to spot suspect and questionable (and reportable) behaviour, just like when participating in such a match. Maybe even more so as one is able to switch from player to player and observe what they do when. And it’s actually a requirement for generating gameplay relevant Server Replay Reports.
Point is - and that point stands basically since this whole by now overly long and repetitive thread started - that:
a) …there is an issue with botting/PvE (how important / game breaking that issue is is difficult for us to discern objectively, while we may have very different subjective views on it…)…
b) …it is not necessarily easy to prove forbidden cases of botting/PvE…
c) …it’s also possible to play a PvE-like playstyle without breaking any rules
and finally
d) …we have methods in place to deal with those issues and are monitoring the situation closely.
I’m not sure we can add much more to this thread that hasn’t been said yet, without drifting off into personal trench-fighting…
If ASB was an inherrently better and therefore inherrently more popular gamemode, then 90% of the farmers/Bots just wouldnt be able to exist. They only exist because SB is currently a Vacuum.
PVE is fine when everyone agrees but since there’s no way to lock the room, any PVE match that starts out PVE will eventually (and usually quite rapidly) become full PVP anyway when People join late and/or don’t read the game chat (or maybe don’t even speak the language of the majority).
People always try to “control” what other players do but it’s simply ineffective. In Air Assault people always whine and moan when I (or anyone else) lands to repair (PRO TIP: if you land and come to a complete stop you can exit your airplane and air spawn for a cheaper respawn cost).
TKs now have a built in punishment and reporting purposeful TKs will yield results.
If it bothers you that people aren’t playing the way they want to play you just might be a Karen. Don’t be a Karen.
Wrong. It‘s fine for people to do PVE stuff on their own without organizing it between both teams. Colluding to collectively play PVE / enforce PVE / create a PVE lobby is wrong and as far as I can tell, punishable by Game Masters if reported.
I see gaijin is doing nothing about it, so in the next event we’ll have zombers again suiciding against airfields, so I’m buying and spading planes I didn’t like but are good for zomber hunting.
If gaijin made rocketing airfields less rewarding, this would be fixed. It’s crazy seeing people with more than 20k points just by doing that.
We adapt, and kill them … is mainly zombers who whine in the chat when you hunt them.
It’s actually quite annoying that this is still going on…
Even after I highlighted some that were doing it on the regular, they still haven’t been acted on, and the concern of how this is detrimental to the game and playerbase is ignored.
It’s just dumb… They play without threat and passively, whilst the rest of us fight actively and do what we need to do.
To have the new BP tasks include the sim modes, and to have this sort of thing going on, is actually a real problem for me.
But alas, I spent a year raising this concern, to only be ignored and passed off to deaf ears.
It takes ~20 hours to grind a single jet in simulator mode because PvE tards exploited mode. I have ~100 kills with Mirage 3C but not even halfway with modification reasearch
In the past, SB has been heavily exploited by botters to farm massive amounts of SLs and RPs and so to “fix” the issue, Gaijin just destroyed the economy. Which affected everyone and not just the botters (which still exist) You also have people who try to enforce a “PvE only” lobby and whilst on the surface, I dont think there is any major issue with a “PvE only” lobby if everyone is just doing PvE anyway, the issue comes when someone joins who doesnt, the PvE’ers can become highly aggresive and abusive. Even TKing to stop you.
PvE though is an integral part of SB though and not inherrently bad. SB should always remain PvPvE. Though a few I think have objection to any form of PvE and consider it “exploiting” and want it removed from the gamemode entirely. Which would be a mistake. Its the only gamemode in my opinion where you can actually fly certain aircraft, like the Buc, Jag or Tornado
Essentially. Some of it has been undone when they overhauled the repair costs. Aircraft like the Buc S2 were rendered almost unplayable. It had a 33k repair cost and you needed to stay alive for around 18 minutes with 100% activity time to break even. Not too mention make a profit. All because it could be used to put a lot of bombs down range.
Generally If I see that a sim battle starts with 4vs2 in lobby and in game it ends up in 4vs1 I tend to offer pve to opponent until other players join the opponent team. This is welcome in a lot of situations.
I am anyway only spawning my Barak II, F-16C and nothing else and will never again fly anything else until F-18C joins. For me fine to take some missions.
How? This doesn’t make any sense. If they’re leaving you alone all you need to do is go after objectives unmolested (or… go after THEM because PVE is just an agreement that you didn’t want to make).
And it’s not an exploit to agree not to kill each other. Unless you mean it takes so long because the “Useful Action” system was implemented. But that wasn’t done fto combat PvE it was done because people were making too much SL/RP or something.
