Sentries - being used to glitch server (Got killed by one)

I know how you [Joeyz] said that in order to help out the lowbies that you'd put sentries on the weekends...

but they are seriously flawed - i got killed by someone's sentry while on the server just now while playing dust
(Sat Oct 21st 20:25 CST)

too may of the new kids on the block are glitching the known issue with sents and using them to their advantage.

until these are addressed, perchance remove the sents and put them back in after patching?

ive noticed, if you happen to be in the sentinel menu, and it dies, and you click something in the menu to change the sentinel that just died(sentinel dies while ur accessing/in the menu), well, for me the game crashes...

Theres some new sents coming soon that are available via an artifact and you cannot kill teammates with them, Vaptor is working on those at the moment.

Unfortunately that crash effect when you try to upgrade a destroyed on is unavoidable as I think thats an engine flaw which sorta short circuits the entire game.

I have seen the pepperpot sents kill people before including myself but I dont think thats the players fault as that can happen with any weapon when the player dies and the projectiles carry on moving afterwards, my magic wand projectiles killed about 3 players on a tight map once when that happened.

Yep, that's exactly how I died. I wasn't quick enough though to get a screenshot of how it happened though.

Its a known flaw in the game itself. Like bert said, vaptor is working on it but not much joey can do about it since he didn't create the sentinels...
