No but they aren’t supposed to kill your teammates.
The mines were given activation times so that Proxys couldnt run around roflspamming them in people’s faces and get loads of kills. However if they roflspam them near your team and you shoot at them to deactivate them before they’re armed they STILL kill your teammates - rendering the activation time useless. You might as well let them arm and kill your teammates itself rather than trying to disarm them.
You keep saying “disarm” there is no such thing as disarming a mine in this game. You either blow it up by shooting it, run over it OR the proxy that put it down can pick it back up.
It doesn’t matter. You shouldn’t be able to spam mines in people’s faces and get kills. Mines aren’t offensive, they’re defensive.

Actually you can’t spam since it has a 30 sec CD per mine and you can only put down 2 at a time.

By spam I mean run up in someones face and throw one down so it activates and kills them.

If someone stands still that long to allow the mine to activate and kill them, they deserve to die.
Yeah but if I see an unactivated mine next to a teammate and decide to shoot it, it shouldn’t count as a kill for the Proxy who placed it there. The whole point of me taking it out is so it can’t harm my teammates.
Don’t shoot the mine that is next to your teammate. And, as pointed out, they can’t be spammed. In this build you can only have two down and the arm time is something like 3 seconds. I don’t see how this is a problem at all because any proxy dumb enough to throw a mine at somebody rather than switch weapons is going to be gone and if you’re playing correctly you won’t ever get hit by one of those in this build.
You really have some entitlement issues and you don’t appear to be playing the same game as the rest of us.
I ran into an issue with Proxy where my team and I set up camp with healing stations in the yellow room next to the first C4 spot on Terminal and this Proxy kept running in and placing mines down in the middle of us. There were many of us and the moment the mine was activated it would kill all of us but none of us could get out because we were protecting the C4 and oblivious teammates are oblivious. So I had no choice but to shoot them and I ended up killing half my team.
This shouldn’t happen.
-insert personal attack here-
Lmfao why the hell would you shoot a mine next to your teammate? Don’t be so stupid and it won’t be a problem.
LOL and yea it should happen. ITS A MINE.

Yeah I should just let the guy kill himself.
There are so many things wrong with this lol.
First of all, I shot the mine. Therefore it should be me doing the damage. This is practically every other FPS that has mines in it. Take BLR for instance, you shoot an enemy mine next to a teammate, and it doesn’t kill them. Same thing with CoD.
Then, there’s the issue that if I kill Proxy with her own mine, she"suicides"
No, I killed her. I shot the mine. In BLR if you shoot a mine with the owner on top of it, you kill them.
Then there’s the issue that mines don’t kill enemies if you shoot one while an enemy is next to it.
You want mines that I explode to be able to kill teammates? Fine, lets make it even. Mines that I explode should be able enemies that are close to it as well. Oh wait, they don’t.
Oh wait, but they do. I’ve been killed by enemies shooting my mines more than I’d like to admit.
They kill you, but it’s not “their kill” its “your suicide”
And they should be able to kill other enemies as well. I mean they are mines right. They explode and kill stuff right.
This would make a lot of sense, especially since there’s the pineapple juggler (which no one ever uses).
I think since mines blow up when you get close to them, a perk that allows a delayed explosion time would work
So much salt. Why are you so angry about the beta, I don’t think it was really hyped up that much and a marketing statement shouldn’t be taken as a literal description of in game experience. While I don’t really like to see people selling places in a closed beta, it’s not really any different to other games selling Early Access on steam and is more polished that many of these games.

Thats actually quite difficult to do, throwing one down and then shooting it to kill an enemy is actually not as easy as you would think, it most often will result in a death if you don’t do it well. If you don’t want people to do this, kill them before they get to you; proxy drops so quick to basically anyone.
Regarding Aura; She herself is fine. She is easy to deal with and is pretty balanced imo. The problem comes with her one broken ability. Now I don’t see the problem with needing a fragger to clear her out, it encourages team play.
I don’t see the problem with mines that are shot giving proxy kills, If you shoot a mine near your teammates she should get the kill. That is stupidity. I do think that if you blow her up with her own mine it should be your kill.

op I don’t think you have played in many closed betas, this is relatively polished compared to some others I have been involved in. imo this is quite a fun game and my overall experience has been good, the devs are fairly active on the forums and genuinely seem to want to improve the experience of the game. I think your expectations of a finished game don’t match up with the experienced of any beta test.

Super good point in this quote. ^^^^
I don’t remember why I was upset. Probably because Barack Obama was elected.
You don’t understand. All the proxy has to do is place them down - not shoot at them. All she has to do is charge into a cluster of enemies and plunk them down and she will take them out better than any of Fragger’s nades.
She’s fine but she has a broken ability? lol. The fact that she’s better at combat because of her station render’s Sawbonez useless
I have played in closed betas before but never one where it was over hyped by it’s publisher and then had it’s keys sold. The devs are fairly active on the forums but for a closed beta that’s pretty normal from what I’ve seen. In other games I’ve talked to devs directly so compared to that this is much less active but of course these are different scenarios.

Try telling that to @teasingSavant because she doesn’t seem to know more than “lul mines go BOOM stupid derp”
