Remirol Nacnud Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I was quite surprised earlier today. Part of my fighting strategy is to keep myself in between my enemy and the health/shield respawns and hopefully stock up on said items and slice up my enemy whilst they're still low on health from my/their last attack. So I was doing that as normal, and a few people started criticising me for 'picking up armour' in the middle of a fight. The same people had already been saying the same thing about someone else. They even started saying "kill Dunk(my in game name)" when I got into the lead. Admittedly, fights can go on for a while when two people are good at avoiding each other and picking up the spawns, but come on, it's all part of being a good fighter, right? What really took the biscuit for me was that a couple of these people(at least) were people using yawspeed. So which of you thinks that stocking up is bad ettiquette, and which couldn't care?

Dethsaint Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 If it is a FFA it's legal imho. If it doesn't say specifically in the rules that pickups are forbidden blah blah blah... you can pickup all you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormHammer Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Originally posted by Prime If it's in the game, use it. I second that motion. If it's an FFA server...then they can always challenge and duel privately, if they don't want to fight people who pick up health and shields. Some players really need to get a clue.

Otherwise you include all of those little bugs and exploits that are so much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 People who whine about you picking up health/shields are, for lack of a better term... "ignorant." If this was a Duel map there would be NO pickups of any kind, so if they are against that they should play there. Or you could have a Saber Challenge, in which case you can't pickup health/shields and are limited in your force use. Its possible for the admin to set it up so that there are no item spawns, so whining about this is stupid. Ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hehe, if they say that, call 'em LAMERS! Really, its just their opinion, why must it be yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Wookiee Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Yea, I always go for the health/sheilds if they are around. You know the MP level where your in the rift temple theres that room with the ledge and 100% sheild thing? Well i always kinda hang out in that room and snatch that up. Between that and heal I'm managed to stake out 15 kills w/o one death. Keep in mind a lot of it was luck, but that was fun. D_P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayqel Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 As long as you don't turn off your saber and run for health/shields, whining about saberdown=peace if your attacked, I see no problem with it. Though camping on the spawn points is kinda weak, but a legit strategy none-the-less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master William Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Leave the server if you find idiots like that. In JK2 once, just because I was leading and winning, some guy shouted ''KILL WILLIAM!!!'' and the whole server was after me in a matter of seconds. Of course, I used my 1337 Jedi sk1llz to pwnz0r them. No, I had to /amsit in a dark corner with the Luke skin so they couldn't find me. So anyway, I always do that (pick up health/armor nearby.), and no one whines about it. Even if they are, I am admin at that server (it's a gameservers.net server) so I don't have to worry about getting kicked or chased or stuff like that.

Kurgan Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Personally I think people who use sabers are lame! If somebody draws a saber in a game that is not how it was meant to be played! They are a lamer and a n00b and its almost the same thing as cheating! I call upon everyone who sees these morons drawing their sabers in a JA game to immediately call vote and have them kicked, and if you're the admin, ban them permanently from the server! Do whatever it takes to stop these fools who think they are cooler than everyone else because they can wave a saber around like they're some kinda jedi . ; p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butt_Whisper Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I use the term "hording" for collecting the shields & health. In FFA, I do it constantly. Like Kurgan said, the admin's could remove them if they want: if they are there, hord the begeezus out of them!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I try to get a clear shot with my honorable tenloss disruptor rifle, I get slashed at by these stupid glowsticks and then when I'm peacefully walking around and I see someone with their glowstick down, I ignore them thinking they are as peaceful as I am but I'm wrong! The second I turn my back, I get slashed! WTF?! Ok, being serious... I've had a lot of people call me lamer and w/e in JK2 for running for medkits when my health is at like 20 and they're trying to land a red over-head swing right down the middle of my skull. I mean wtf? Do they expect me to stand there and take the hits with "honor?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hey Remirol Nacnud, did you ever mention that if YOU can pick up the health and Armor/Shields, THEY can pick the same items up as well... Whats so hard about diverting yourself for 15 seconds to pick up stuff that will help you to stay alive 4x as long if not longer with the right amount of Skillz, which roXors:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iblis Reborn Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 why the hell not pick it up? if u just ran by it they probably would pick it up (then say it was an accident of course) screw that!! this isnt even close to the exploits that we usually talk about it IS however along the same line as kurgans sarcastic post they LOVE saying what you can and cant do dont they! no saber no guns no fists no fighting no health no shields but bow!!....never forget to bow!!!!! only bow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 All kidding aside, I've never seen anybody complain about me running to get health/shields in a game. Besides, it's not like grabbing 20 health or 25 shields is going to save you when a saber hit can do 100+ damage anyway. ; ) Not since the days of JK1, and back then you could understand it happening because there was no "Duel Mode" or "Saber Challenge" thing setup, the best you could do was play custom maps that had no pickups on a NF server. On my server, about the only things I hear people whine about are being killed while typing or with their saber down. I think IIRC one guy said I was "no jedi" because I killed him with guns repeatedly while he ran around swinging his saber (and not hitting me). For the most part it's been pretty mild compared to some of the horror stories I've heard. Oh yeah, and people whine about lag every time there's a map change or somebody joins. ; p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapNut Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 well maybe in the patch, they wont put health in the main fighting areas or in the middle of the room, u'd always have to go out of ya way to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Patches aren't meant to FIX GAMEPLAY and User Requests... They are meant to fix gameplay BUGS and Glitches, like incompatible drivers and in-game browser and such. Stuff like what you want Slapnut and the other 100 or so that want gameplay "fixes" are really wanting Mods and such.. Not a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the map where everything is suspended above lava? The central area that everyone ends up in has no spawns. I love to stand there and sometimes kill person after person, or just get killed on my first fight. It's a great feeling to have just a few health and then be a really lucky b4stard and get another kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comm539 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Unless your in the middle of a duel and the other guy (noob) goes and runs for pickups. Thats not a strategy, that just shows your a poor player imo. But running for pickups when you won or w/e othwer reason is k imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see anyone being bothered about running for pick ups in the middle of a duel, since it's about as pointless as a fish buying a bicycle.
