this rule isn't coolio. "Hey dude, did you follow a KOS and shutdown a traitor? Oh, that's unforunate, because you have a fucking "KILL ME!" sign on you for 5 seconds" "Did you kill some assaholic rdmer in self-defense, with me witnessing the enirety of the situation? I really don't care, I have 5 seconds to pop you" The rule's ok-ish, but all it has done to me is start RDM chains. Can the time period be reduced to like 3 seconds? k thx. 5 seconds doesn't seem like much on paper, but it is. cos like when you are in a very i n t e n s e murder situation, it feels like a VERY LONG TIME.
+1 if you think about it, 5 seconds is a hella long time. Like, 2 or 3 seconds is plenty of time, and most of the "killing you because you killed this guy" happens within the first second or two anyway.
Alright, this is in place to compensate for confusion. Say there is a kos on you and I kill you, but Luna doesn't realize that I killed you and starts to shoot me and kills me. It allows confusion and reflexs to happen as we don't know the whole situation as what Luna saw was me killing you, not knowing it was you. Does that make sense?
ok but 5 seconds is way too fucking long and its way too fucking punishing against people who actually read the chat and listen to voice callouts
This community's rules are supposed to prevent the mindset of "shoot first, ask questions later", and so forcing people to check what role someone is after they get shot is part of that mentality.
Some of us have slower reaction times then others. I'll give a situation, I killed you and I'm a distance from your body. Luna drops down from the reporter in 67th way and sees me walking towards your body as your body is falling and I'm reloading. It's gonna be longer than 2 to 3 seconds for some people but not all. Myself I can do it very quickly, but say someone like Luna who may be slower than me need that extra second or two. We compensate for the new players to the community. Now if abused to get kills and done too many times could get them banned for toxic gameplay.
-1 This rule is put in place for good reason, most players shoot first ask questions later, just as Dolph1n said, I feel as if this rule saves people from slays and also helps clear up confusion, so that is why I am giving this -1. Quick note, I do not think the time should be reduced seeing as Destiny is correct, slower players need the extra seconds, new and old alike, I feel as if it's just better if the rules stay as they are now.
To react, we all don't have the quick shot and go after it. Some of us take longer for information to process in our heads.
I don't think reaction time should be the main focus. Based on this, This still remains true. The only difference is the current GBA rule addition is designed to prevent people from have knee jerk reaction and passing it off as gba. So why shouldn't this design apply to 5 second grace rule period. The current 5 second grace period is designed to protect people from being slain for rdm for having a knee jerk reaction to the killing done. Abusing it can result in punishments. Why should the slower players or people who don't pay attention to what's going on and don't bother to do so beyond the grace period should be excluded from this school of thinking? Just curious to see your explanation to this.
Because 5 seconds encourages shooting first and asking questions later, which is what the community's rules set out to protect against. I'm not against a grace period, but 5 seconds is too long. Three seconds is enough.
I misunderstood what your proposal was, as you can see I edited it to fit my understanding of it, I thought you were proposing to get rid of the grace period entirely, but I still must give it -1.
I still don't understand what you're saying. he said the rules deny that mindset??? so...? what confusion? read agent's post pls and thank you idk how to quote the quoted section
