Serious unofficial HL2RP² launch feedback thread

He would have been able to be rescued within a 24 hour period while he was in the pod, not anymore, rebels blew him up and PK'd him.


Rebels have PK'd more vorts then combine

think it would of been better if there was some /event activity showing he was being transported first if that was the case - but im not that entirely surprised by the rebel response

A giant pod connected to a generator connected to a mortar with wires is all the evidence anybody needs to go "Oh well that definitely isn't a stalker pod."

We didn't know about this pod or the mortar it was attached to until after the strike.

Something about it being moved to quickly into position OOCLy

The pod and mortar have been there for two days at this point.

The Base, along with the pod yesterday/two days ago, was installed over the period of 4-ish days. Today Firebug was transported and put into the pod to fire the mortar (giving him 24 hours in the pod to be rescued) until the mortars happened.

i mean, it was communicated to a group of us at the gas station event last night which is why i was confused when ppl were saying he was already dead. kinda assumed that that info had been passed on to rebel groups as well

 

[Raiden]

I wasn't told but hey thats life, I haven't been on last few days :)

 

[FieldersNL]

Guys what happened, i dont understand?

 

[Brandon_]

I illustrated the firing position should be shown in the event or at least hinted which it was to give rebels a hit to go check/assault it, they came, and they just blew it up with mortars, the pod was inside of the pit.


Also how long until the vortigaunts go back to the controller and go "Maybe being slaved to you wasn't that bad compared to what keeps happening to us."

 

[Raiden]

Guys what happened, i dont understand?

wait you DONT know it went on?
you mean they used your vort to power a mortar and you wasnt even on for it all to go down?

 

[FieldersNL]

I wasnt even on at all or did even know about this lmao

 

[FieldersNL]

Last time I was just farming some fruits for the combine

 

[bilack]

Plus, there was a floating text over the pod to illustrate it as something important, rebels just went the nuclear option fast without properly checking.

why would we have wanted to rescue firebug

 

[Tinbe]

Seems a bit weak to use a character without their knowledge or consent. That just makes RPing the rescue all the more unfeasible. Are the people trying to free the captive meant to interact with thin air after getting the pod open?

It's seriously a bit strenuous to take someone's character and put them in a life-or-death situation when they aren't even online.

How would the average cop feel if I snuck into their base and blew up the barracks, killing everyone who wasn't flagged on?

Fielders was informed + there is a note about this for the vortigaunt faction members (to my knowledge), if this could be done people would just not flag up at all so they avoid PK.

That's a pretty big stretch don't you think? (It is)

We are aware of all of this stuff and were aware of it before the information ever reached you guys so chill out and let staff and the affected player sort it out

I don't disagree with the first statement, but I don't think the comparison is right because captured characters are put on an OOC timer to escape and are meant to (per current rules) be PK'd once that is over. Somebody being offline should not give the ability to dodge that

 

[FieldersNL]

Fecking hell, cant i go to the gym peacefully tonight?

 

[STUCK IN A CAKE]

Technically the event was supposed to happen yesterday but got delayed for a day. The Character would have been, at this point, Unconscious and therefore them being present wasn't at all necessary, however I do believe more Rebel warning that Firebug was alive should have been 'communicated' and more leeway should have been given so they weren't just 'killed' flat out because of one bad decision (To Destroy the Mortar without extracting the Vort First via Mortar Barrage)

The mortar itself has been next to the Transhuman Depot for a couple days now, slowly getting bigger. And then today we moved a 'Battery' inside. Do note, we did delay ourselves for like an additional 1 and a half hours just waiting to see if they would flag on, but the folk in the voice chat had no real way to contact him iirc.

 

[Señor Jaggles]

Regardless, while you guys discuss here over stuff you're guessing, some staff (not me as I can't atm) are with Numbers discussing this situation. Let's not make it harder for them by creating rumours and whataboutisms.

 

[Tinbe]

Sure, by all means. If the escape timer ran out without Fielders flagging up, PK Firebug even if the character's death is not RP'd inserver.
But dragging his character around despite not being flagged-up and being PK'd by the actions of other players doesn't sit well with me.

Just wanted to clarify, but yeah, for now I'll just wait and see what will come out of the staff discussion.
