Santa
« on: December 31, 2016, 12:42:15 PM »
A few people always seem to spoil the Santa experience by shooting down players who try to do fly-bys. Is it possible to have a sort of safe zone--like, guns don't work within 6.0k of Santa--so that the people who think it's a cool thing to fly with the sleigh, show him to their kids, etc don't get picked by losers?
Just a thought for next year.

It's a shame that we need this.

It appeared several players sat back of the crowd and pinged everyone with a few rounds. Then waited for the kill messages to roll in when those players having burned their fuel to hang out with santa, augured. Must suck in real life to be that cheap in your dealings with other people.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Turn kill-shooter on for Santa and anyone within 6k of him.

For photo ops,  Run Santa in a different arena like the TA. That way you can turn the lethality or ammo multiplier to 0 for a certain amount of time.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Yeah, that obviously deters people from shooting other people down. What was I thinking?

I'd like to see Santa's sleigh in the hanger!  All the rest is  part of the game.  We can have nice things, no need to ruin the surprise of santa.

I agree.  That's what happened to me.  Not gonna say by who, but their in a big squad that recruits anyone willing to put numbers in front of their callsign.   I pm'ed the jerk to tell him I was trying to show my grandson.  He replied with "how was I supposed to know that?" 
Maybe that I was flying straight & level 10 feet to the left of the big red sleigh with 127 presents shooting out it's arse???

Watch out Kris Kringle they'll try to recruit you too.  Just be advised you'll lose all your perks if you change your name to 49Santa

Maybe putting an arena message up and turning smoke on for that night only, would be a good idea. That way, people at least have 2 indicators not to shoot Santa followers.

I don't believe they have yet to find a way to fix being stupid.
