Player Location Information Gripe

Mon Jun 09, 2003 10:17 am by Avernus

I really wish they would not show all the players locations in the game on the fricken player list. I mean what idiot thought that up? You should NOT know everyones location just by looking. That REALLY takes away from the experience in my opinion. In fact it is the sole reason I do not like to play this game in a pvp environment.

ummmm, well there are plusses and minuses I'm sure and I'm trying not to be mean or anything, but get over it...

and you're right, it's just a gripe...another reason to ___ ____ __ . (fill in the blanks)

I'll just put it simply: Get over it. No one would be able to find anyone without that, and it would make PvP very boring indeed. Get better if it bothers you that much.

Yeah, it's not THAT bad. I like to hunt when I'm playing.....if I had to select a target and search over 40 systems for him? BOOORING. Besides, it's not like you've got a GPS tracker implanted in your scrotum. Now...there is an 8x8 grid of sectors in each system, which means there are 64 potential sectors PER SYSTEM in which to find my prey, and you don't think that's fair? Go play pac-man or something.

LOL a pvp game that shows the location of every player at all times... ROFL it's so pathetic I'd fire the guy who brought it up. You think Freelancer Universe is too big? LOL I mean your hunting certain people they can only be in so many places. This game would be 1000x better if player locations were hidden. It would bring the experience back instead of what Tasin likes... to fly around knowing where all his enemies are so he can keep them in check LOL. Figures an idiot like you would respond to this thread. Anyways keep on dreaming that its a good thing. Imagine every other shooter and online rpg etc etc and being able to know where everyone is at all times. You spend more time looking at the player list then the ENVIRONMENT lol. I should have known id get some ****tard responses on this... oh my head

i think they were smart...
they had the idea of pvp battel in mp so they didn't show the FULL location.
you can run
but you can't fully hide...
lol

Hmm have you ever tryed to find someone just by knowing the system he is in, chances are by the time you get to look over that system, he/she has jumped 3 systems, or was docked anyway and just asleep keeping his slot on the server lol.
so ill add my GET OVER IT to the others.
