Thread: PvP tactic or griefing, opinions wanted...
ya it is fine...in fact it happens to medics, doc and cm'smore the anyone...sadly hehe
easy way to stop a big attack and gain an upper hand...one on one pvp i db...unless he let me nap for a while
Agree... eye for an eye... or in this case flame for a mind disease/poison
There may have been a purpose to this tactic when Revenge was in place. Now? It is simply griefing and people know it!
I can't stop them I don't have the power, but what I can do is disease thier action so that while I wait for the third and final drop I watch my victims Green streak turn to Black. I get to walk out of the med center with narry a wound on me. While my victim get to spend the next 15-20 minutes (depending on the Docs talent) in a med center.
We CMs hardly get a chance to DB as it is. Just do it and get on with the game. Yeah it may make your teammates mad, but in the end it's still just a game!
i think the longest ive ever spent in a med center is 3 minitues, and that was at 4:00 am,

Ok let me explain to use the extend of this exploit which i use that allows you to incap ppl more than 3 times before they die. You gonna wanna incap the person. Then you gonna target thier ham for instance if they are incapped because thier health went into the negative number, you gonna want to line up an attack thats gonna hit that ham pool when they stand up. I prefer bodyshot2 for this situation, and im gonna want to be using a pistol in this situation.
Still with me cause this is a tough one.
Now eventually this negative number will go to positive and the person will stand up, your gonna want to have the person as your look-at target and use your bodyshot2 special.
Now repeat the process and see them get incapd over 3 times in most cases.
If you can't detect my sarcasm, i'm sorry, but its there.
Lexy you are no longer my idol.
I engaged in a PVP battle in Theed a few weeks ago. I ran in and threw down a AE poison and got like 6 people and promptly got slapped down. They didn't DB and continued to incap me every time I got up. I was surprised that they could do that, but it didn't bother me too much. Every time I got up, I had just enough time to lob another poison. They continued to ball up their people, and the area that I was in was where they were dragging their incapped players.
I did this until I ran out of poison and disease packs, then I got lucky and one of their people DB'd me. I actually got a tell from one of those guys telling me I was on their **edit**list for continually poisoning them. I was like, **edit**, you keep incapping me. What do you expect me to do?
my opinion is that the difference between 'good' pvp players and your average stock is their ability to know WHEN TO DB and when not to.
It's not about griefing, its about player suppression. If i am attacking a city regiment per se, and they keep chain spawning at clone to come after me, i will make it a point to wound/incapp them as much as possible to slow their efforts.
You're out in the booines on Dath? DB immediately... they'll appreciate the run back.
The situations in which you can apply the 'db or not to db' tactic are as diverse as the combat situations you can be in... use your best judgement.
So in essence, I believe it is a tactically viable way of suppressing pc's... unfortunately, it also happens to be the tool of griefers.
Here is my reason for not performing db's. If it's in a group tef situation, (thank God RTEF is Gone), I keep them incapped, until there whole group is incapped.
My reason is that I need time to regen my bars. Plus also it gives a chance to have a breather. Back in the day of RTEFs, if u db'd them, you would be half damaged or whatever, and that would put you a critcal disadvantage especially with the first strike advantage. I don't want to face someone that is at full strength if I'm damaged.
