Hmmm. another "why-can't-i-kill-that-guy" thread. and let me guess... he's serco?

get better.

Rockets, fire rockets at him.

@shape, ya ninny, you had first hand experience of sh and ayn? no? shut up then. its pretty hard to *see him coming* when the only time he attacjks, is when your in a fight with another player.

Simple solution to all this is (and its been said 300000 times) dont duel in b8 if you dont want your fights interupting.

Because of the new trader bots that are planned for production anytime soon, B8 will not be the *battle ground* it is now, simply cos NPC's do not have honour, and they will attack anything they dont like on sight. SO while, Sh and ayn maybe annoying, when the new npc's make it in, what you gunno do?

@FM.

The last time this was discussed the player was following people about, this is b8 stuff, and the answer is simple, dont goto b8. (moved to RP?)

ninny accusation filed under "Signs point to yes"

If the only time he attacks is during those fights, then yeah, don't duel in B8 when you know he's around.

Its not a nice thing to do, but there's not much that can be done to stop him, short of some kind of griefing brigade.

if you do duel in B8, watch your radar, when someone starts to get real red, break off, and take a better look.

Well I've been fighting him for the past few days, and since I have not played in weeks my skills have definitely diminished, not like I had uber skills to begin with, but I've been able to damage SH, not killed him, but definitely hit him, and I've not noticed any sort of dodge bind in use, his configuration that he uses on me is dual neuts, either 2's or 3's and a tpg or orion plasma special cannon and chains it. He's just relatively good at controling his distance and is good at dodging, So why is everyone bitching, cause they suck??

I guess so john. its ALMOST like people bitching about my swarms...but the thing is, the only players who can beat me one vs one is

Niki : corvus vult

Maso : Valkry Vengence

I think it was...um.. not a dwang...some serco guy, who was able to beat me in his serco vult and SKC

then of course...

Eldrad : Ec-88

People are used to folks like me & Mecha who charge in and try to maneuver for advantage with FA on, fights are over quickly based on who gets the best "merges" or the best "angles"... I think they are bitching because it's really really HARD to hit a backrolling Rev C or Valk, and most players dislike the fact that they are being made to fight in a fashion that they do not like. (If they turn around they get attacked from behind, if they press forward they have to fight a backroller, if they warp they're dead because they'll be jumpkilled.)

That's OK, I'm getting better at it, trying autoaim on/off, FA on/off, off-axis turbo-tapping, etc. A few more weeks of me going after SH or Ayn and I'll hopefully have it down. It's aaallll just training....

Oh and LOL BG I'll be ingame to beat you 1 v 1 later today... >:P

well said LeberMac! (Although it's less back"rolling" and more back"strafing" ;D )

@yoda From what I saw of the trade bots last night, and from what a1k0n told us, the convoy guard bots *only* attack if you try to hurt their charges. Even if you are KOS with their respective faction, you can fly alongside them close enough to moon them through the window pane, and they wont do anything (well, immersion-wise, I like to imagine they moon me back, because convoy guards have to have *some* attitude...).

So I'm afraid their presence will not change the current function of B8 in any way, as we can practically weave in and out of voy groups, shooting at each other all the while, as long as we don't accidentally hit any of them...

McD: They roll and strafe like their life depended on it when they fight me. (Well, 'cause it DOES, but anyway...) All just a matter of learning a new method of attack, perhaps a different loadout...

@Ion, regardless of what a1k0n said, the bots do indeed attack players they do not like :P ref : me getting ganked on test server by ineubis bots :P

Hello VO community!!!

how are you todays?

Moving this to RP might imply that such threads are appropriate there. They are not.

Fortunately, the thread is conveniently off-topic, so...
