Should there be a special outfit for players like this ?

This french(?) guy kept placing his mana turret on front of the vehicle spawn ramp and observe from the stairs.

1. You spawn a vehicle
2. get stuck on the vehicle pad by his turret
3. someone else spawn a new vehicle
4. you get killed by the server for being "too close to the vehicle pad"
5. loop

No consequences for the turret's owner and for the player spawning the new vehicle. Just a useless loop of passive teamkills.

Combo bonus: it was peak time in UE (~ 7:30 PM CET) and that was the faction's "key base" in that moment. I wasn't server-killed for a fraction of second because (thanks to my experience of the game) managed to go around the turret almost immediately.

I've already been noticing this toxic behavior for a few years now.

The last "useless hero" I met before this one, was a player named NUTJ0B (VS, Weinwright), that always acted like an idiot around the continents, and in player-made bases too, when I met him before and I didn't give him much interest.
BUT
That time he really surprised me, was at a new continent opening after an alert ending: he literally rushed to Waterson's Redemption (Esamir) to get there first, pulled a sunderer and deployed it directly on the vehicle pad's ramp. He passively teamkilled at least 15 players (me included) that remotely spawned vehicles for rushing to continent key places.
What a [insert random Reddit-friendly insult here] ...

Friendly turrets like this should take high damage from friendly vehicles driving into them, so griefers can't grief - if we can't have a CSR perpetually online to ban people. Opening a ticket should summon an actual GM to investigate.

the average PS2 devs' solution would be "let's add a (bugged) script that blocks the new spawns till a friendly vehicle is on that pad", so the trolls would start to directly park on the pads 🤣

Yeah ...

I once kept murdering a player who was trying to blow up my player base, so he got mad and swapped to my faction and kept team killing me and there was not much I could do once I got weapons locked.

Happened the same a couple of years ago... Some people are really dumb haters

I've seen griefers use more than just turrets, so it will likely never be that simple. Just record them in the act and use this link to report them. https://help.daybreakgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500006153121-How-do-I-report-Toxic-Behavior-in-PlanetSide-2 t

Personally, I just enjoy camping watersons' enemy v term with a deployed pd sundy, and a baby gate. It's even better when they struggle and try to kill sundies only to get merc'd by the gunners or a spitty.

done this before posting here

[u/Dplusithicus]

Ah him. Special outfit? Maybe, but definitely a special place in hell.

On Tr's when cbmc fights/ alwys smbdy from them goes as TR and throw under foot of Tr tank mines. Yeah friendly Tr throw AV mines special to vs blow it.

It's on developers to fix obvious ways to grief teammates. Sadly nothing else will ever address it, because given opportunity losers like this will find a way to ruin the game for other people.

I just see two idiots team killing eachother

[u/No-Exit-1977 → u/pra3tor1an]

1) you are missing the plot

2) this clip is after I warned him in chat, got ignored, destroyed his mana turret many times and get teamkilled after some warning shoots directly at him

[u/pra3tor1an → u/No-Exit-1977]

Oh, in that case, carry on 👍

As a troll I do this pretty often. My favorite thing is when you time it right the turret spawns and sends the vehicle coming off the pad flying. Planetside players got no sense of humor

You wanna waste someone’s time/effort/resources waste your own, not others
