mining

[InspectorGadget]

so, one thing that is annoying me since i came back is that people still don´t know how to mine properly, which is ulitmately frustrating when you´re trying to mine your base decently just to have it ruined by someone not mining above doors or just some random bullshit. i´m not sure if some kind of blacklist blocking those who still fail might be a good idea overall, but i definitely would be less annoyed

When you are close to the mine and looking at it (reticle on the mine), press E - it would PM you the mine's owner. You can then publicly shame that person.

Sometimes (depends on the situation), at least I consider it as THing. So you can let mods know as well.

Above door mining is just as easy to disarm if you're not in a hurry though, but yeah mods can !disarm a player who's throwing stuff anywhere and messes the game. Did it more than once

haha, did she get mad about that? just wasn´t sure if she wanted to plant a nuke and needed me to kill mines or something, but fair enough.

 

thx @ the other replies.

We can also !c4mute (if it still works) the person if they constantly do that.

I love MateNone's mines the most. MINE THE FIELD QUICK

[Vultima]

Honestly I can't believe after 20 years people still think mining the field/entrace is good, I tried explaining it to Matenone that its not good, didn't wanna hear it, should be banned from mining forever.

Literally the only situations is in small games, on a base defense map, so you know if someone has snuck past, or when its like hourglass and AGT is down and someone is actively looking at the mines to kill anything that runs through

Whilst some people don't mine well at all, a lot are not doing it to TH I believe.

I think they shouldn't be punished for it unless they're purposely hampering, some are just kids and don't understand the mechanics we do, not everyone is as clued up and some clearly have no idea what they're doing which is also part of the game, this isn't cw.cc.

 

 

[InspectorGadget]

yeah i agree, but they mostly don´t even listen if you´re explaining it to them. and if you just mined 5 buildings just to realize you have to start over again it just really sucks. like what is the justification someone like matenone still messes it up all the time?

[Forithow]

The amount of times GDi loses the game 'cause mines at PP disappear on Under happens too often :<

I'm tempted to make a video guide on how to do proxy mines properly :v

 

[Sharky89]

Bring the 250 minelimit back and Matenone will be happy.

One can TH even if he doesn't mean to. That being said, I don't punish if it happens (due to noobism), and try to explain what's the problem, in addition to !disarm. Doesn't work all the time obviously.

That being said (2), how many of the players are kids and/or don't understand the mechanics these days? Quite rare, unfortunately.

TIL

Have you try it today?

[WNxH3adSh00t]

Just remove proxies altogether  since ren 'is a tank game'.

 

 

 

 

[Goztow]

agreed

[N0]

Proxies encourage camping so I agree, get off your f asses and move LOL

[Guest rackz]

i hate HS mines it just looks dumb, they should not be throwable then you cannot lag-miss-throw them anymore.

 

instead getting rid of mines we could give each player a personal mine limit.

Why not give techs and hotties a gun that launches proxies, that'll be hella fun

ye, replace the grenade launcher with a proxy launcher

[shaitan]

Goz comes back just to post that. LOL

Also, Killing Floor had that weapon, it was a goddamn blast.

[WNxH3adSh00t]

Then add it, can't be that hard to make it :v

[InspectorGadget]

so, i had a (friendly) discussion with geko yesterday about where to mine on walls flying. he was argueing mining front is still better than buildings, on walls vanilla for sure. on walls flying i´m not so sure, due to transport helicopters or people flying in on the sides with apaches etc, but he´s a better player than i am. what´s your guys opinion?

[WNxH3adSh00t]

As GDI you always want to mine the buildings on either one. As Nod you mine the buildings only on flying.

[Forithow]

On non base defense maps as GDI, you wanna mine the entrances to the base more than mine the buildings (still keep spare mines to mine buildings, not all of them on the entrance), and Nod, well you just mine the buildings and maybe tunnels if a building is too close to it. On base defense maps, you wanna mine blindspots where AGT/Obi can't shoot, like mining to stop harv walkers, mining the rocks near tunnels, etc and still keep spare to mine buildings if they get pass.
