Kill shoot

[rvflyer]

Just spent a couple hours in Beta. It looks great is fun to play EXCEPT for the people that think it is funny to camp their own friendly GV hangars and kill everyone that comes out. So I will not be back until kill shot is fixed. Every time you would try to get up to defend your field the ........... friendly would camp the hangar and kill everyone that came out. Dale this is really not a great way to encourage new players to the game through AH3, I know if I was a new player I run never go back to the game the way it was being played tonight. I understand this is BETA test but how can you thoroughly explore the game when you can't even up because a friendly thinks is i funny to shoot you down. I am going to encourage the squad I am in in AH2 to not go to AH3 till this problem is fixed.

I believe they have it set that way so when only a couple are on, they can fight from the same field. Just during beta.

Sounds like a 3 Stooges episode...... eh wise guy ay?  What are you numb skulls doing?  <poke> < poke>  ow ow ow wow ow ow       wooobwooobwoob woob woo  grrrrr rffff rffffff  Now, get back to work and stop camping!!

Or, you could up from any of the other 100 fields on the map.

This does bring up an important point though.  Shouldn't all of the vbases with radar covering the strats be uncapturable?  Seems that came up in a discussion with Greebo.

Myself and a few squaddies take full advantage of the kill shooter. There has been a many times its just us at a field and we decide to start reeking havoc on each other. Its a blast until the enemy shows up, then its hilarious.

Wow 

I know, right? So much drama for such a simple question like "why is killshooter off in the Beta".

I do NOT take kindly to threats. If you do not wish to beta test so be it.

Beta tests exists primarily for HTC's benefit not for yours or any other player. I appreciate all beta testers who provide feed back and bug reports. Kill shooter is off to help people test the beta.

Spawn camping in the beta is BS, but your reaction is way out of line.

This is why I like Hitech.... no dancing around the issue. Straight up the middle like it or not.

You can even up at your own field and shoot it up or bomb your town. Bugs are found quicker that way.

You can help out by going to AH III beta but like they say, you can follow, lead, or GTH out of the way.

The kid was just trolling to *bleep* us off, and of course the best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them (although I admit that I usually can't resist the urge to make fun off them before moving on).

But in the case of this jerk, there wasn't much else going on, so WTF, I played his game for a while and tried to kill him. What was odd about it was that "kill shooter" didn't seem to be off for him. Three times in a row I thought I hit him twice in the turret, point blank, and he just turned and killed me with one shot. I also watched from the tower for a while as others tried to kill him, and it seemed he was taking hits without any effect. I'm still trying to figure out how things work in the game, so maybe there's a good explanation?

Anyway, I confess to using friendly objects for target practice in the beta, just because I'm too lazy to fly or drive very far.

Hardly a kid. RVFlyer/sarge was in my AW squad the FUBARS back in the early 90's.

Looks like "the kid" is a reference to the player rvflyer complained about.

Hmmmm, alpha testing, beta testing to get AH3 live...hmmmm. Hitech when did we stop testing and go AH3 live?? I thought this is all testing to help you take AH3 live until you tell us it's AH3 Live time.......

After all this time testing, I learned that if you want to test damage and other things related to that, go where players are. Everyone will happily shoot you no matter what side they are on. If you want to test for unique issues like the GV mangler trees or invisible tank traps in the terrain, up anywhere else to be left alone. Seems no one wants to follow you at 250mph down the side of mountains in your GV to shoot you...

I used to have to up a box of bombers and beg people to damage them back in the alpha or tell people go ahead and shoot me to check the damage modeling. No one wanted to be the "test shootiee" and take one for the bigger picture of getting AH3 live. Guess they still think it's unmanly to get shot in the "testing arena". Even in the alpha people didn't like their GV's being bombed or shot once they were out in Tank Town oohing and ahhing over it. But, we found many bugs that Hitech asked us to look for by killing those GVs. You guys had the choice to up somewhere else and ignore the player avoiding having to involve Hitech in this post.

By the way, did you find any issues in the go boom effects that could be reported at least? Or did you all get so offended by being the shootiee, you forgot to perform your primary duty of looking for bugs?

Too bad you guys missed Hitech and Skuzzy playing with us to test stealing sheep. Hitech shot us all really good......

LOL most likely in an RV8 with twin Gatlin guns.

Think it seemed more like "Side Winder" missiles! Look a con!!! VROOOOM.. OH crap, how did I get to the tower so fast? Wait..HITECH shot me down? OOPS He wasn't in the flying pumpkin either!

Like previously mentioned, Kill shooter has made for some fun times. It is great, when some other players are snippy on "all" radio text, for shooting them down or bombing their Tiger tanks. Just up from different base or even change countries and dodge them all together.
