Commando Archive

Well on my server there is a new grief game going on. Let me first state that I don't think that the commando class is over powered or that it needs any nerfs. My complaint is with the DOT on the flamethrower. Even the DOT is fine but it is being miss used by some for griefing. Let me give you an example that happened last night.

Noob commando X comes running at me with his flamethrower. I shoot and kill commando X. He obviously is a noob cause he died way easier than the good commandos on my server.

45 seconds later commando X is charging me from the clone center. I kill him again.

45 seconds later noob commando X is charging me from the clone center again. I kill him, but now I am on fire and my action is down to half from shooting my gun. I heal and run for the med center. Docs there are healing me. My group is waiting on me.

(1) minute later noob commando X is charging me in the med center. I kill him again.

(1) minute later noob commando X is charging me in the med center again. I kill him again but I am on fire. Docs are healing me. My group is waiting on me.

(1) minute later noob commando X is charing me in the med center again. I kill him again and again I am on fire. This is getting real lame. My group is waiting on me.

(1) minute later noob commando X is charging me in the med center again. I kill him again, but this time he lit all the docs on fire. I am burning. Docs are healing everyone. My group is waiting.

combat medics can do this too, except much more easily and more effectively.

Ahh the Revenge TEF, the lazy's man way to be an ass.

1. Resists do nothing to DOTs, this needs fixed.

2. Revenge TEFs suck for that exact reason. All it ends up being is TEF tag cause in the city the cloning centers are just around the corner. get rid of those **edit** revenge TEFs and that kind of griefing will no longer work.

A side note, A tile with nerf and commando in it may not fare to well in the commando forums. Also, the problem is with TEFs and how they are carried out not with the Flamethrower. I feel your pain, I've had the same thing happen to me with a Combat Medic and his Mind Posion. With his TEF he was able to run back to me from the cloning center before I ever got up from incap and he DB'ed me.

Revenge TEFs suck and TEFs in general don't need to carry through to clones. You died for crying out loud, you shouldn't have look out to protect yourself from a guy that you just killed 20 seconds ago.

Ya the problem is TEF and the weenies who try to exploit it. Shouldn't have db'd and let him stew after the second kill making your escape. As to being on fire imo it's far easier to have a friend duel and db you (if there is no water around) then trying to wait it out gettin healed especially with a TEF griefer on your arse.

Here's a thought. Next time when you incap a griefer like that, Don't DB him. Let him wait out his incap. When he finally gets up he'll be extremly weak. So knock him down again. Maybe that'll teach him a lesson.

I don't recomend this with regular PvP since it also could be griefing. But griefing a griefer is sweeter than sugar.

ever thought of spending 120c on a shuttle ticket and healing up elsewhere for 5 mins? saves time if you think you have a revenge TEFer on your hands

Also there is also this plan...

If your poisoned or on fire let him kill you. Then don't use your revenge TEF. This pisses them off ot no end since they have to go overt again to start hunting again. People who are hunting for fun don't mind going back and goin Overt... Greifers like the instant kill of the point-blank-flamethrower-while-you-can't-stop-them method. Also takes care of your fire and lets you heal in peace.

It requires letting yourself die once but it does stopthe madness. Most people are unwilling to let that happen. Becomes a point of pride to kill them again. But you gain nothing by letting it continue...save it for when you want a night of PvP.
