I'm not going to start the "stealing" PU thing again.

I would just like to say, that whoever that was that JUMPED OVER MY HEAD to pick up a PU in front of me, that I had just liberated from a monster, is a CHICKEN for running off without the courtesy of asking if I needed it.

That is all, and thank you for a very forgettable game experience.

GG.

Hey Nappy,

I know you dont want to hear this but powerups belong to whoever pick the, up. They dont have a specific playername that they are supposed to be sent to. Powerups just lye on the ground and whoever picks them up picks them up regardless of who kills a monster.

Now listen this is why this rule makes sense. Take a moment and image everyone yelling on the server "Hey that was my powerup I killed the monster!" It would be chaotic. No one would know for sure if they actually killed the monster. So this is why powerups just are there for whoever. Its a free for all so its not all chaos. If we were all fighting over powerups this wouldnt be much of a team invasion server. This would be more like a all for one death match powerup diving server.
Hope this clears up any confusion about the nature of "stealing" powerups.

well this already happens :butthead: so its more player respect than any thing i found most i play with unless it comes to a summons will either back off when they know it was your kill or give it back most of the time and when it comes to a double drop deal usually split the prize no noobs on the server are a real pain in the rear and think this is ok to max out there quick foot first in order to such things as jump over you or nearly trans u to get it but all is well karma is a bitch and they die and we win by the slot pay out because they didn't come here to see how to build a good gun 8)

If you pick it up its yours







the rest is common courtesy

Don't rehash the old argument. This isn't about "my" powerups.

Scenario:

Shrine map.

I'm the only player in the flak room.

I shoot a monster, PU flies to the wall over my head.

Somebody flies into the room, and jumps over me as I am jumping to get it.

It did NOT have my name on it. It's the courtesy thing that gets me. I dump PUs like crazy, try to keep track of who needs what and give them if I get them. THAT'S courtesy.

Some players play as if there is an "I" in TEAM. You can have all the stinking powerups, I don't care. It's the lack of courtesy that torques my nuts.

I have gone 11+ waves at times without an INF, or even seeing one. Sometimes it takes time to get what one needs. When I see someone get splattered holding 50 PU's, it's pretty clear what's going on.

T-E-A-M....

nappy dont dwell on it. it's happened to me countless times, theres a pu right over ur head and u keep jumpin for it and hittin somethin in the wall or just not reachin it, some jackass comes in and swipes it. its bullshit stupid and pointless, but ya just gotta learn to deal :\

Yeah, I know, but I had to vent.

Carry on.

ahmen

Shrine? I went 6-7 waves without getting a single PU, let alone a inf...

There's no ownership on pus until it's in your box. Simple.

I usually just grab them unless it's an artefact or a decent pu that is clearly the other guy's. If I do grab it, and I don't need it, I'll yell it out d=P

Morale of the story : Whining about pu stealing is idiotic. It happens, deal with it

well i know exactly what u mean nappy-pants, alittle common sense, respect, & curtesy from others would be nice, i know but alot of immature noobs that dont see the difference between their censored & thier thumb, ol
