Being Forced to watch the game

I think that being in the Death Queue is one of the best parts of the game. Personally, I like having a decompression period where I can sit back and metaphorically throw popcorn at the screen when something worthwhile happens. Cheering on the survivors when someone manages a kill, responding to whispers, getting up to get a drink of water or vice versa to take a piss, and the death queue is the place do that.

I get it. I probably got the wrong idea you try to be the good guy. But you just you… And I don’t claim I’m the good one either.
In the end it the same logic as a guy playing with lances+invis+cheetah+radar+wolverine cab. It’s a toxic crap, and annoying hard to escape well polished to kill 1-2 guys and can target someone in particular. Obviously isn’t something improving game for people in general, but the guy is “just playing with what there is in the game how he wants it”.
It’s the same as some drone launcher guy left alone against too many he can’t possible win, but runs around delaying inevitable and making everyone wait. Not doing anything legally wrong, but something spoiling things for some people.

I also think this is the reason why they implenented reduced rewards many years ago when you leave the battle before it is finished.
But it could have been done in a much better way that does not handicap every crossout player who likes to exit the game after he dies and move on to the next game.

For example, there could be a penalty to rewards imposed for people who quit the game in the first 60 seconds, lets say the penalty is 75% to 90% less rewards for 2 minutess to your account.
that would most certainly stop suicide farmers, but not impact everybody else who dont want to watch to the end of a game.

I usually take that as punishment for not being careful enough to die last.
Some guys and situations are interesting to watch, most aren’t.

That most obviously wouldn’t. It takes them 30-50 to get their job done and their will wait those other few. As I mentioned. Their plague was actually stopped mostly by wait times I think, which gotten worse past months.

Sure, the penalty period could be extended to 2 minutes before leaving the game, im just throwing out an idea here that benefits everyone more than the current game mechanic.

I’m not logging into the game and thinking “What can I do today to make sure everyone in game is enjoying themselves.”

For me it more like “What can I do today to wreck as many people as I can.”

There is a pretty good chance that if people are pissed off at what your doing then your having a blast. Who cares if they are having fun, it’s not anything I even consider when playing.

You don’t finish a PvP match and think “I wonder if the guys on the losing team had fun?” At least I don’t.

You know, in Starcraft II (claimed by some as best RTS of all times) players do almost always say to opponent GL HF, or one of them at the start. And when loser exits without saying GG is sign of very pissed off and bad tempered player. Some behavior like that works in real sport like chess or boxing and other fights.
In general a good person wouldn’t want to spread havoc and ignore other peoples feeling, cause they will pay back when they can and it’s just a bad thing to do. Just shows that somehow in this game this culture isn’t even established. And devs themselves designed to be… sh_tty in some sense. Usually when you are bested by stronger player you shouldn’t be offended but game itself presents this mess of random teams play, where you just get wrecked because other guys were. And just weapons that not even work in “rock-scissor-paper” style as some think of this game, but rather a tool for mad no skill babies to get revenge on someone - lances and such. Or Tusk on boosters - that one at least can be countered by tough build and careful use of terrain and awareness, but lances/radar/invis combo - is that mix that takes a lot to counter, and not reliably still. No skill tool that only balanced by… having limited amount of kills and forced to wait? That’s BS . So they kind of integrated toxic to the game so that guys like you can even freely speak of that, even on forum.

Use paragraphs buddy, your wall of text is hard to read without them.
Also, someone not saying GG to you doesnt mean that they are d!cks, stop your imagination from running wild please.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using exhibition builds or with posting good builds there for other people to use.
But I also don’t buy the argument that the devs don’t see building as a primary part of the game. Hell, it’s the first word of the slogan for the game.
And yes, there are a handful of features for people who don’t like building, but compare that to the hundreds of parts that are given to us to build with, and the complexity of the building system. Even the exhibition system doesn’t work if there aren’t people who love building.

I would still play Crossout if building wasn’t part of the game, but I wouldn’t still be playing it four years later without that part, and I think most longtime dedicated players feel the same. The ones you see complaining that the game sucks are generally the ones who don’t really enjoy building (or who see building as a purely aesthetic thing, and don’t like that it impacts performance so much).

I play Crossout because I’ve always liked driving games, tank games, and giant robot games. But I love Crossout because the building aspect taps into my creative side in a way no other game matches.

Crossout would be dead years ago if it weren’t for the building aspect, and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on.
Even those who hate building would quit if there wasn’t a steady influx of new player builds for them to download from people that do like building.

Learn to read understand words. I said in Starcraft it actually does. I said it in context that in many games minding what you bring to the people actually matters. It’s only yet another problem of this and actually most MMO games that almost teach people to roll over other like they trash.

You are not being very helpful or understanding here buddy, Starcraft was actually the first game i even bought so please dont start another attempt of you to degrade others, Me and everybody else knows better than to respond to tantrum throwers.

This is the EGO of the winning player thinking this.

Just because someone does not say GG does not mean someone is mad.

I have been in voice chat with guys that think this way.

They will be like:
“Did you see (insert name of player) leave game after I killed him, he has to be pissed at me.”

When in fact, that guy grabbed another beer, took a few tokes, and jumped into another match. Most likely didn’t even notice the guy who killed him.

Or you will get the guy that’s like:
“(Insert name here) hates playing VS me becuase I kill him all the time.”

When I’m fact, that guy has no idea who you even are.

In many cases it’s the EGO of one person and they are projecting how they feel on other person. This is a weak minded individual.

People hate the idea that no one notices them, so they make up stuff to make themselves feel better about themselves.

The facts is “most people don’t give a :poop: and your an insignificant part of their day.”

Yet you respond more than you should, make it personal and adress thing wasn’t even meant for you. .
I know you to be whiner from other posts and trash absurd builds you play so don’t pretend to be even a reasonable person. In this topic where you once again need game reworked for your own needs.

I know what I said from watching a guy running a successful channel on SC2 and participates as professional commentator on SC2 events, so I’d rather believe him. Also every game he plays and grandmaster league live only jerks playing some photon rush or bias meta void rays and failing leave without GG(and few other obviously crappy players), while all other players follow this rule. I watched hundreds of grandmaster league games so idk, perhaps it’s your experience of lower leagues, or whatever.

You asked for it buddy, i am going to sit on your face now with my 500 pound sumo body, so you cant type any silly responses anymore. hmmphhhg uggh, feel that weight :yum:

See? Wasn’t hard to make you drop your pretending. A bit more and you start typing pure trash and get banned, but I’m not interested in that, it’s enough for me just to see you drop your play.

And you perform nowhere. Don’t worry I’ll be leaving this forum for a while soon like the last time so you’ll be free to make whiny topics again to shake of some dissapointment of own failures in game to attention of local… idk… why does anyone even uses this forum?? I myself only have this interest for short periods when I don’t have much to do.

Then you have a pitiful experience of dwelling and watching darker corners of gaming communities.
