Jetpack TK
« on: January 03, 2011, 01:32:06 am »
so, on spacetracks i was jetcamping in the broken elavator. Since my base was above me, i was protecting it from rants and other aliens. So, im just there, then suddenly someone shoots me (dont know who) and my jetpack disables, which makes me go "in the wrong place". This happned to me 3 times. I then argue to people about it, then i get muted, which isnt bad. Then, i try to jump on those lights, miss 3 times and get kicked my tremulant.ddos for "suicide FTW". I would like the following updates:
When you get damaged by a teammate while jetpack is enabled. you will take damage but your jetpack waont temporarily disable.

(Not Important) My suspects are:
GT-Kynes for the first 2 (heard a rifle in base, then when i respawned he and pup tentacle were the only rifler. Besides, hes in GT. Exact same thing second time)
some other dude who had 2 words in his name, both white. I clearly saw him when he shot.

I know most of you guys dont belive me, but i would still like this updat to be done.
these are stupid suggestions, don't even waste our time.
I don't like your negative attitude.

It'd be cool if such kills were attributed to the right person, both for this and so aliens get the credit when they kill you.

I agree, people firing at flying jetters are just –censored–, however, trying to fix the stupidity of certain players by changing game mechanics is a bad idea in general.
I have retired from Tremulous. Definetely. If you play a game just because it has become a habit, but u'r only feeling like a kindergarten teacher - well, maybe I am just getting too old (hell, I was a teenager when DukeNukem3D was *new*) - it's probably not a bad idea to just let it be. And I do.

Don't take this personally. Have fun, guys.

Oh, so it was you, the protip of don't be an idiot is certainly a good one.
You didn't jump down and miss, you jumped down, landed perfectly and then got bored when you discovered a distinct lack of aliens down there and so suicided, and repeat, it's not quite the same thing.

You're jetpack won't disable for long enough to kill you...unless you were poisoned. You were probably killed by a goon+.

Well...I do agree it was stupid of me to jetcamp. Its not really my style.
But still, whenever you use jetpack properly, its wouldnt be fair if your teammate knocks you out of the air,
these are stupid suggestions, don't even waste our time.
