Sentry Kick

[Bad_Lieutenant]

Guys, guys, guys...if two of you move into the path of an autocannon sentry TWICE thats on you not me.

Maybe take a breath for a few seconds before raging like a toddler and kicking me?

Cheers :)

I don't know about that, G. They missed the part where that's their problem to be begin with.

They lack awareness, surroundings, keen vision, eyescheek, looking alive and most of all. Lack of think before you act.

If you think autocannons highlight who on your team is an idiot, try the mortar. People will see a bug get within melee range, kill it, and then stand there like an idiot while the fired mortar shells arc towards them instead of moving about 10 feet away.

Yep.

In the mission I ran earlier the sentry was firing on one direction only and two others ran straight in front of it.

They got killed by it and then after reinforcing did exactly the same thing again.

Then they raged at me and kicked me.

To be fair, dropping mortar sentries against bugs is throwing anyway. Maybe the EMS Mortars since they aren't lethal.

Yeah, I'm kind of dreading this happening to me once matchmaking properly works. In any game where the lobby host is given total control, some of them will abuse that power and kick people for no fault of their own. And I can imagine it being worse in this game than in others because of the lethality of friendly fire.

People raging about friendly fire in this game are ridiculous. We're a bunch of barely trained mooks given weapons we're not ready for.

It's gonna happen. Treat it as your opportunity to land your pod on something big.

and this is why I never play with randos

Someone needs a stern talking to by their democracy officer and a remedial trip back to boot! Barely trained mook? How dare you!

I think technically we're the captain of the super destroyer we named though, we aren't the mooks, we just vicariously live and die through them.

This game is designed with FF happening often. There is a huge difference between FF and intentional team killing. The funniest moments are when someone drops an airstrike accidentally under your team or turret shreds half of your team.

Not when you're playing with randos that don't talk/type...

This is like with all co-op games, random people behave randomly.

Just saying that it's not as funny when a random does it.

depends on how you drop the sentry. You are prob just dropped it in the middle of the field so it shots everyone

The best way to complain when this is happening often? Write or say a joke, even if it is frustrating.

Right it specifically targets other players. Them running between the sentry and the bugs is completely irrelevant.
