So as a level 2750... If 4 level 1500's drive by my and I die... They are on my rivals and I can kill them and torment them one by one? Probably better to call it a kamikaze drive by.
yes, lol, absolutely. no one should be able to take free shots at someone else. that's kind of the point behind a drive by tbh - at least in my mind. and my proposal is win or lose, kill or be killed, they would still be open to rival retaliation.
well, if you are getting your butt kicked by a stronger player anyway, what's the diff? at least you can fight back and win one or two with the drive by. the proposal is you can only be taken out by a drive by so many times a day so, it's not something that weak players can chain you with. for me this isn't even about level. I see plenty of higher levels get their butts handed to them by lower levels. it's about having the ability to fight above your personal strength, adding a new pvp, increasing social aspect, and being able to turn the tables to some small degree (if you are lucky lol).
First do you mind if I steal your signature and use it? It helps knowing the perspective of the posting party. I like it. Secondly, I was just adding to "Kamikazee Drive By" posted by Blue Nose because I thought it was funny. I really don't have much of an opinion on Drive Bys other than I'm for anything which helps grow the game. However too many features and extras start getting added and the game just gets cluttered and confusing. Thirdly I have my 10 posts for the day so I'm done until tomorrow.
ROFL, i love the honesty and you can of course steal my sig it's just a generic way of letting people know to ignore me if they play a different game or on a different platform and what i say doesn't make sense.
Yeah, and it doesn't even need to be about fighting above your strength or level. Maybe you have a rival that you can easily beat but, just for the lols and to do something with your friends you decide to load up the car and do a drive by on him. New things, more fun, more social, more pvp. I really don't get what's not to like.
drive by concept is for those stronger than you that gives you hell and this is a option of automatic death and hoping enough of these would ease the pain for a small window why the limit of 5 from one person on one target in a 24 hr period this would be a syndicate thing and the whole group wold have a total of 20 drive bys in 24 hr period.
and thanks again for bring this idea open again for discussion and hope it dont just sit and collect dust this is a great idea from my part I thought alot of others would enjoy this to add to the mobster scene
Well, keep the post active so more folks will eventually see it. It's certainly garnered more support than opposition in the voting. It is still in discussion so, I would think there is a chance it may be integrated eventually. If not, maybe it will spark a better idea in the devs mind. Never know. It would be nice to get some feed back from the devs from time to time to see what is on their mind. For example if we were told this idea isn't feasible for a particular reason or they would like to see a different approach, they might get some more feed back regarding this that might take things in a direction they could use. Maybe some better guidelines for the ideas forums would be a plus. If we had a better idea of what the devs were willing and capable of doing, we could suggest ideas about things we would like that fits into their ability and willingness.
+1 Would be nice for the other games too. Only consideration I have is that it has to be 4 syndicate members. Not all of them will have 5 members willing to participate and retaliation from the higher level can go to other syndicate members that didn't participate as well.
Mitch was the one that took my ideal from other threads and moved it here so he already is on board its getting the rest of Developer's on the same page.
To me it opens more ways to fight if lowers are really mad at a high lvl 4 or 5 hope in the SUV and let hell ring out leaving a dead body on the ground.
I I like this..... if the drive by is a syndicate and syndicate alliance option and not just any joint force of plagers then the target, as in real life would have an open window on the syndicates that particpated. This would add a degree of caution to arranging and organising a drive by. It would be great to see the drive by being preset for those players that hide in hospital, chain and eat rigs. They impossible or difficult to hiist so the drive by would operate as soon as they heal. The drive by could operate as a series of attacks, possibly ...like when you on the hitlist. Maybe the drive by members would all have to be online. Those that arent wouldnt add their strength to the drive by. In this way a drive by would require active participation. And make it harder of the use of alts. Personly i dont think alts would be used...if its a true syndicate thing. As it would mean a syndicate made up of alts... lol this idea keeps getting support.... great one Jamie...time to join the dev team; and roll out a few more idsas
In that case, it will die the same death as syndicate wars. I like the original idea except the fact it has to be a syndicate thing. To many players would be left out. That, and every other proposed change/restriction to the original idea makes my 5 star rating going down to 1. Combined strenght against victims strenght: chances are that you still won't be able to kill the super high level. All 5 have to be on line when the victim heals: even less chance to get the kill. Less people for a drive by (or even alone): makes it to easy and the social aspect is gone. I would just stick to the original idea. 5 people, guaranteed kill, 24 hours retaliation on all 5 and, although it's mostly the high levels screaming there is no such thing as bullying in a fighting game, a limit on the number of drive by's on one player. Or even better, after a certain amount of drive by's, they can click the protection button for those 5 low levels
