I play on the Xbox One. Typically, I run with at least one other person, but on occasion when no one's on the friends list, and I don't feel like playing with a rando, I'll play on my own. So...a couple days ago, I was attempting to grind out the last 30K DZ creds I needed to buy the 204 blueprints for the M60 E4. With knee pads that have the Prosperous talent on them, granting DZ creds for head shots, it should have been a cake walk.
Should have been.
Rogue city. Get wolf packd by 4 morons even when my pack was empty, only to have them split up and send two guys to the closest safe house, and two others to the closest check point. Spawn killed. Quite frankly, I couldn't possibly care less about getting looted, since I haven't picked up anything in the DZ that hasn't been broken down into spare parts in over two weeks. However, I was getting rocked on XP and DZ creds. Even the XP I didn't care about. But I was on a deadline and needed the credits. By the end of my session, I'd LOST 30K in DZ funds.
I'd get harvested by groups of 4. I'd get shot in the back while shooting NPC's. I was even GIVING other people the chests and what not. I was just farming credits. A couple guys acted like they were helping me...then decided to shoot me in the back take my stuff, and **** talk at my corpse. Then they spawn trapped me.
Shortly after, I lost my cool and sent a message to the one tool bag that was being the biggest jerk. I used an extremely inappropriate term towards this maggot. I knew instantly I'd be on the receiving end of a comms ban, and I just didn't not care. Zero ***** given. None whatsoever. The guy and one of his buddies sent numerous messages following my ban which I couldn't respond to showing them harvesting solo players, taking their green set pieces, and deconstructing them, all while inciting them with stuff only a genuine jerk would say.
I can't wait to get my ability to respond restored and tell them that it was worth the comms ban to call them exactly what they are. It's against my character to lash out like that, typically, but when people lack decency, they don't deserve decency. Not ever. Saying I hope he and everyone he loved died of a combination of ebola and polio was the lighter side of the message I sent. I'll leave it at that. I was seriously peeved. Haven't lost it like that on a game in a decade. I'm taking a break now and hoping the update brings about some changes. I'll come back then and see if the environment is even remotely better than it is at present.
xbox enforcement is a joke.....................i know who i think should get a ban, they grief you, talk trash over your dead body, BUT you respond and get a comms ban, i guess xbox think its better to talk trash over the mic, to grief you and annoy, if thats not enuff, these people wanted you to get a comms ban as well.
also if you send me a xbox message with there gamertags, i would love to respond for you,see if they join a party, gt same as my forum name
TComm ban is 3 weeks. Should give you an idea of the nature of the word I let loose. What sucked was these weren't the types you could avoid. They weren't already rogue when they killed me initially, they all went rogue on me. Wolves in sheep's clothing. I'm good at identifying where they are on the map and avoiding confrontation. But, unless you just start running from every player you see regardless of what state they're in, they can be tough to avoid entirely.Originally Posted by Force58 Go to original post

Me: way to be a world class *insert extremely derogatory word here*. I hope everyone you love dies from ebola.
Me: cheers
Jagoff: haha ur getting banned.
Got my 3 week time out seconds later. Literally, seconds.
Second guy in his group of jagoffs: Waddup **** talker
Second guy in his group of jagoffs: This is what happens to your gear when you talk **** like a little ***** (video of Nomad gear being deconstructed after they gank some unsuspecting person attached)
Couldn't respond to the above because I'd already been banned.
Mind you...I didn't respond until a couple minutes after the incident. It's not as if he only deconstructed my stuff because of my messages. Either he would have done it anyway, or not at all had I not said anything. Acting like it was retribution for my comments wasn't some kind of genius move.
Comms ban? Is that a real thing? I thought the game was supposed to be realistic. You wouldn't whisper sweet nothings to someone who was being an a$$h0le in real life, why would you do it here?
Is the game not rated M for mature? The gaming demographic is a lot older than it used to be. It's a shame the console people haven't taken this into account when it comes to there censorship. We are literally killing each other in the game, what kind of verbal behavior did they expect there to be?
I love the response "that's what DZ is for; PVP"
Yes and no. All of the info given before the game came out said the enemies in the DZ would be tougher than you find elsewhere. That along with pvp being enabled would make that place the most dangerous. But this isn't the case. The brackets need tweaking and the enemies found in each bracket need tweaking. The enemies and brackets should match.
To go along with that I feel like if you're solo or with just one friend you are put into a DZ with solo/2-man teams only. 3-man/4-man teams in their own DZ. Kinda even the playing field a little. But leave the pvp as it is for the most part.
Oh...if you don't think I speak my mind to aholes in real life, you're out of your mind. I'm very vocal when it involves people treating decent human beings like ****. There's no excuse for it whatsoever. And anyone that doesn't take these people to task is part of the problem, not the solution.Originally Posted by tuffnis22 Go to original post
The game is rated M for mature, and what I said was certainly rated for M. And it's not about being killed that irritates me. Not at all. Make no mistake about it...I don't mind rogues. It's their specific behavior. Their voice communications. And even the way they go about it. Don't gang up on people. Don't pretend you're a friendly then shoot them in the back they moment they turn around. Don't kill someone then spawn trap them. Being a rogue is one thing. Being a complete and utter ****heal is another.
