Gold Rush Command Post question

(Jack) #1

Ran into a problem today. We (allies) had just taken over the tank area, repaired it, got it moving… so my next step as engie was to take care of the command post issue. So I wander up drop dyno, and “plant it”. Just as I did this, a friendly Cov-ops comes along and satchal charges it. So I am left with my dyno hanging out in friendly territory.

This is where it gets hairy. I immediatly tried to defuse the dynomite, but I realized that my charge bar on the dyno defuse was moving way too slow. Seeing other friendlies gather around, I start to panic. Then I looked up and realized that the command post was being built at the same time.

So technically I was defusing the dyno and building the command post at the same time. My question is, how big is the trigger to build the command post? Any way we can get that moved in a little next chance? Or make it so we can only defuse/build one thing at a time? I ended up killing myself and two other players in the fiasco.

I swear my pliers were on the dyno, and it said defusing but the command post was built and I got XP. Which was quickly lost as my teammates filed against me.

You’re teammates were pretty dumb to be standing around armed dynamite, and dumber to file for it. But this has bothered me, too. I’ll be trying desperately to defuse dynamite by an MG, and I’ll repair the gun instead. It would be nice if, when build triggers overlap, if dynamite defusing always took highest precedence, followed by dynamite arming, and then landmine defusing. I don’t know how many times I’ve planted dynamite at the fuel dump gates, stepped on a mine, then gotten killed before arming the dynamite because I defused the mine instead.

When this happens I slowly crawl backwards, then when the command post lets me go, I can almost always defuse the dynamite. I find it annoying too, but since I found out I could do this I have not had any problems.

Yeah Ithink it’s a little bug. It hapen often when I want to diffuse a mine close to a buildable thing. I build and i dont diffuse…

er - i dont think u can destroy your own command post can u?

I know stachel charges dont affect them - not sure with dyno

i may be wrong though
