Any solution welcomed
« on: August 05, 2020, 11:05:05 AM »
Currently there is a player that makes bases flash while they sit in a GV with no intention to interact with the game in any other way.

I know this is nothing new, I remember it from my previous time in game.

I’ve seen other people mention this recently since my return to the game the past couple months.

It’s very frustrating when the side they do it to only has 5-10 players on and their side has 10-20+. It wastes eveyone’s time by diverting players to trying to find them and diverting players away from the other two countries wanting to interact.

I don’t know exactly what the solution is or if there is even one HiTech might consider, but when there’s say 7 knights on and 3 are trying to find this player it’s difficult to coordinate...those that log off already looked for the player and those that log on have to figure out it just a ruse.

They seem to have found how to hide from the Storch extremely well.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

It usually does not take long to figure out that it is not a threat. Still some folks bite for a long time.

semp hit the nail on the head.......just ignore the guy. 
What I don't understand, off topic a bit, is why the base defense will blaze away at an aircraft, but virtually ignore a GV within the same distance?  Never have understood the reasoning for that.  Are they blind to GV's? Or is it coded to let them move in closer?  I've been in the tower and seen GV's driving across a base and the base defenses ignore them............oh well, only one person has the answer to that question.

There is a very simple solution. Just go to another part of the map and have fun!! This is just a game. If enough people stop buying into his antics, he will get bored and stop. Or should at least. Life is way too short and messed up to worry about this!! Rock in!  :salute

The thing I don't like about GVs flashing bases is that there is no difference in indication on the map between 1 vehicle and 20.  I've seen it happen where someone flashed a base for a long time then a group moved on that base and the defenders were slow to react because there was no indication until the invaders were in position and started dropping stuff.

CVs drop bases and never flash till the troops are coming in. No difference.

Which is another thing that is not great.  Flashing is essentially the little computer guys on the base going, "Hey.  Something's attacking us."  The fact they don't seem concerned when town is being shelled is a bit silly.

1. Open 2nd player account.
2. Find aforementioned offender in Bishland.
3. Switch countries.
4. Bombard aforementioned offender.
5. Breath deeply.

This was my issue with tanks as well. I see a flashing base.  Dont know how many it is. Do I roll from the base and hide out sitting there for 20 minutes waiting for something to drive by? Or I go pop after 10 minutes of sitting never seeing the enemy tank. Still don't know how many are there.

Apparently, not a lot of tankers like the dar. Perhaps it could be redone similar to the plane dar so it doesn't give away locations, but i think a dar is necessary. How does a new player know what to do if all they see is a flashing base with nothing going on? I never understood how people have the patience for tanks.

I don't know how it'd work out, but I've always wondered about the idea of having GV icons get longer the longer you sit in one spot, and also get even longer if you fire.  Until you move a couple hundred yards, your icon stays that size, after you move it resets.
