Consent to enter vehicles - why?

(Fab) #1

Why was this function needed? i see there being lots of complaints about it when the game is released. I don’t see there being any plus sides to having this at all, infact i bet it gets abused from day 1.
What do you all think? and to any SD members that are floating around, Why, WHY?

make it a server side cvar (default enabled) and everyone is happy…it prevents vehicle lowjacking and makes the vehicle under the driver’s command. IMO it should be like a fireteam, with auth/deny given by driver.

I remember someone saying that the consent is used to give control of the weapons to the person (from other positions?), not to enter the vehicle.

LOVE IT!

same thing as arty and spawn camping… douchebags that don’t share will get kicked.

my question: why do you ask? the dev team knows what they are doing and they got a lot of time (again) :frowning: to balance the game and add or remove features. have faith in them and give 'em time :wink:

There is no consent to enter vehicles.

(Ciabs) #7

yeah, actually I knew that consent should be given to let passengers FIRE the vehicle’s weapons, not to ride them…

(Joe999) #8

speaking of entering vehicles: what happens if a strogg infiltrator enters a vehicle and takes over the cannon and a gdf flies it? is that possible?

(digibob) #9

You cannot enter enemy vehicles.

Also not when not in use?

(Loffy) #11

Another reason to blow things up as you pass them on the map. Good.

This applies to possessed-humans as well?
(By the way … I was on vacation for the last couple of weeks … is this ‘Infiltrator-takes-control-of-poor-human’-thing still under discussion or was it taken out/not yet implemented? Didn’t see or read anything about it in the articles/movies concerning the QuakeCon… :bored: )

Consent is only required if any of the strogg are going dogging!

(Fab) #14

Okay here’s part of a post i read by someone who played at Quakecon

I jumped in a jeep type transport and someone jumped in with me, I then see a message, “So and So jumped in, do you wish to give consent”? I was like huh, I agreed but then it dawned on me, are we going to be kicking people out of vehicles or restraining them to backseat positions while we handle the guns?

As someone already stated, that is weapon consent. I.E. as a tank driver you can choose whether or not to give turret control over to a passenger.

EDIT: As for enemies taking over vehicles, we tried it, it wasn’t fun. You may never take control of an enemy vehicle. ( subject to change, yadda yadda, though unlikely imo )

Right okay, thats good to hear. I take it the Anansi is only a 2 seater so what if you decline to give them consent do they get booted out?

(digibob) #17

I’m not going to give details about every single vehicle, but as i said, consent has nothing to do with letting the person in the vehicle.

We don’t have a feature where you can possess GDF players as a Strogg while they’re still alive.

(SniperSteve) #19

WHAT? I temember when it was said you could poses the GDF allot like spys in W:MP

I think I like it better without that feature anyway. :stuck_out_tongue:

Note this part, there is still a feature that allows you to disguise yourself as a dead GDF but not alive.
